Far in the future, long after Earth has been forgotten, water has become the most precious—and scarce—resource in the galaxy. Amidst space rogues, killer robots, and time-warping hijinks, a ragtag crew of pirates dares to seek it out.
In this episode, I’m joined by special guest Oliver Reason to dive into The Ice Pirates (1984), a cult sci-fi comedy that’s equal parts absurd and ambitious. We unpack the film’s chaotic charm, bizarre plot twists, and whether it still holds up in the pantheon of so-bad-they’re-good classics.
