EP. 328.1 — Matinee Monday: After Earth (w/ Paul F. Tompkins)

Giant birds, weird wheelchairs, and ghosting are just some of the unbelievable things that are found in the 2013 Will & Jaden Smith vehicle After Earth. Paul F. Tompkins joins Paul, June, & Jason to discuss future British accents, an emotionless Will Smith, and animals that do nothing but kill. They also talk about the possible references to Scientology, a future with no doors & only a sword as a weapon, and June’s interpretation of what really happened in the birthday candles flashback scene. (Originally released 06/11/2013)
