[PREVIEW] 🎙🧚‍♀️ #040 - Elysium

🍾🎊🥂 HAPPY 40th EPISODE! 🙌🎊🎉 You know what they say - unauthorised commentary life begins at 40! What better time to take a stroll down future slum lane and get maimed by a robot? The year is 2154, and it looks like the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer. Who saw that coming??? The rich have also gotten higher, physically, and have access to the upgraded version of the unplanned-caesarean-performing Med Pod from Prometheus - this one can cure anything without even touching you! One please! It's up to Matt Damon and his orthopaedic robo-splints to bridge this class divide and USB-stick it to da man before South Africa kills him. Discussed in this episode: Greek, Roman and Norse names for the afterlife (two of those are the same) Resorting to actors when rappers turn you down Jodie Foster's wackccent Sharlto Copley's failure to grasp that Neil Blommkamp only casts him to play himself The final stage of robot manufacturing: microwave radiation Indoor barbecuing. Don't. Accurate pain portrayal in movies Blowing someone's face off whilst neatly missing their brain Balancing negative depictions of a nationality with positive ones (as seen in other movies) Cherry blossom trees in a space station hangar. You'd think they'd generate an unworkable amount of detritus that would preclude sane people from placing them inside space station hangars. But you'd be very wrong. Elysium Med-Bays: the miracle cure for pimples, baldness and antisocial behaviour The sci-fi letter "E" that's too cool to have a vertical stroke The grating-ness of the Australian accent Thanks to Mr. Porter for the suggestion!
