The Martians (Chilling “The Ice Warriors”)
Manage episode 515525030 series 3236461
It’s the second Ice Age and Britannicus Base is under siege—by glaciers, bureaucracy, and a hissy Martian warlord with grabby hands. Join us as we dig into The Ice Warriors, the monster debut that screams “classic” but quietly whispers “fix me.” Are the Warriors even wearing armor? How does Jamie know Shakespeare? And did humanity really get rid of all the plants? The Randomizer serves us a slow-burn base-under-siege with a plot twist that feels… scientifically questionable. But we’re here for Penley’s beard, Clent’s drama, and Victoria’s HR complaint. Also: there's a bear. A real one.
