Is this just acquired immunity after eight months of controlled exposure to Pauly Shore, or did we… kind of like Bio-Dome? Don’t get us wrong, the movie is exactly as dumb as it looks, but it’s also weirder than it needs to be, and its surprisingly positive environmental message may be just what we need in this time of climate crisis.
We’re taking a slightly longer than usual break after this while Zach goes to the U.K., but we’ll be back in late October with a special Halloween-themed minisode; then, it’s onward to the twilight of the Weasel, a.k.a. the late ’90s and early 2000s!
