For this week's episode, Quinn and Curtis look at the next John Carpenter watch series installment: 2001's GHOSTS OF MARS, starring Natasha Henstridge, Jason STATham, Clea DuVall, and the immortal ICE CUBE! The boys begin by discussing their watchlist updates and what they watched this week. Then they dive into GHOSTS OF MARS: its weirdness, what makes it fun, ICE CUBE, and what it would have been like as a lost '80s Snake Plissken film.
