Ep. 445: Pitch Black (2000)

Get the family together, we're going back to a superstar's roots as we take aim at the 2000s surprise hit, Pitch Black. It's Vin Diesel and Radha Mitchell taking on a slew of hammerhead aliens. We look back fondly at what was a surprising hit—one that launched a small transmedia franchise. And that's the first point we get to as we move to analysis. We also discuss the presence and will of God through the narrative of the movie. And the moment that shapes who Riddick will become. Tune in now as we continue our GoodTrash Sci-Fi run. And get ready for next week, as we once again join the MCU.  TIMESTAMPS 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 07:10 - Quick Pitch Black Reviews 20:48 - Expanding the Syllabus 38:17 - Analysis 54:00 - Shelf or Trash 56:14 - Wrap up and Next Week's Film
