Mars Attacks! (Tim Burton, 1996)
079 - We hit the other end of the Burton spectrum this week, with 1996's Mars Attacks! This film capped off an incredible hot streak for the auteur - he had become the hottest director in town and could make anything he gosh-darn wanted. Need proof? Just look at this cast, it is STACKED. Too long to list here so we won't even try. This film was also Burton's first big flop, and would prove to become the first speed bump on what went on to be a much bumpier career from this point on. But what about the movie? Is it any good? Where did the idea come from? How about that cast though? We answer all these questions and more so just join us as we spend just about bang-on an hour talking about Mars Attacks!
