252: Invasion of the Hipsters - Asteroid City/Mars Attacks

This week, Joe and Dave make contact with intelligent lifeforms Roland and Sarah to discuss two alien arrival films with postmodern comedy elements. First up is Wes Anderson's latest, Asteroid City, a play within a telecast within a film that features one of the most expansive ensemble casts we've seen in some time. That's followed by another film with an overflowing ensemble, the oft-derided Mars Attacks from Tim Burton, which appeared during what was otherwise widely regarded as a great run of films in the 90s. With beer from two new-to-us breweries - one being the official brewery of Mars! - this is an (inter)stellar episode that you won't want to miss!
