While not coming out in March as originally intended, this week's review is of the 1984 sci-fi comedy-adventure, "Ice Pirates." This is the last of four reviews we were doing specifically to honor our late friend & co-host, Dave Teague. Check out the other reviews in this series: "Godzilla (2014)," "Conan: The Barbarian (1982)," and "Robot Jox." We've also recently released our two long-lost practice episodes, #000.0 & #000.5 (a.k.a. #122 & #125). And, since it's currently out in theaters, we also squeezed in a NON-spoiler review of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves." But, more about "Ice Pirates"...

- Which co-host had a landmark birthday during the week we recorded?

- Which letter of the alphabet is the sponsor of this episode?

- What farm animal does one co-host sound like when giving his first impression of the movie?

- Which of the Geeks described this movie as a "cinematic masterpiece" and somehow compared it to Shakespeare -- and was he serious either way?

- What did the Geeks think about the robots in this movie?

- Did one or more of the Geeks actually succeed in "digging deeper" into this movie's reflection of historical context & social issues, or did he just dig himself a hole to fall into?

- What C-word was said an uncomfortable amount in the middle of this review?

- What was the lead male character's true intentions with the lead female character -- honorable, dishonorable, or somewhere in between?

- Which movie previously reviewed by this podcast has footage in the background, during a scene in this movie?

- What did the Geeks think about the story, tone, special effects, grand finale, etc.?

- Does this movie deserve (good or bad) to be in a category with "Logan's Run," "Krull," and "Beastmaster"? And, how does it compare to "Spaceballs"?

- How much did one co-host love Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Rock in this movie? (Note: They're not actually in the movie.)

- Mostly importantly, what line spoken in this movie was both loved and better said by our late friend & co-host, Dave Teague, and one of the main reasons Dave S. chose this movie for our series of reviews honoring him?

- And, what did we think Dave Teague would have rated it?

Listen now for the answers to these and other futuristic, cheesy, 80s-funtastic questions, as we steal some time for..."Ice Pirates."

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a montage of the five commercials the podcast has done for letters of the alphabet: O, E, V, A, and I.
