M-A-R-S, maniacs. We're talking another Tobe Hooper joint this week in the Cannon Films remake Invaders From Mars from 1986! Joining us is someone who literally wrote the book on Tobe Hooper: Scout Tafoya! He's the author of Cinemaphagy: On the Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper, as well as a filmmaker and critic for RogerEbert.com. While we learn a lot about the making of this film from Scout, we also discuss topics such as the short-lived Comedy Central sitcom That's My Bush, putting Certs in your coffee like normal humans do, and Mousehunt.
