Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) - Because You Watched Starcrash

“Oh, Wiploc, I think I’ll miss you least of all.” On this outing your Distinguished Professors crash land in the backyard swimming pool of 1988’s Earth Girls are Easy! Topics discussed include a rival Dr. Love, the omnipresence of this movie on Comedy Central back in the day, this podcast as a social contract, the failure to launch Julie Brown’s career, the strange hotness of Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum, Clink’s realization that he’s the only one of us without a side podcast, a failure comparison with our old enemy Supergirl, the need for either more dancing or more plot, Valerie’s super-easy job, this movie’s general observance of the prime directive, the ol’ “aliens learning about life through TV” motif, the dumbness of trying to test a mirage by swimming through it, OMG Zeebo is black! and the anti-miscegenation message of this pro-miscegenation movie, “You’re tearing me apart!” before The Room, a faint connection to sitcom Head of the Class, the failure of the love triangle, and the demise of human interaction due to the internet.
