Ben 10: Race Against Time: Part 3

With the strange ability to own a cool watch, two pop culture observers/zany podcast sidekicks/guys named Ben have faced the torture of a children’s film made by Bill S. Preston Esquire to bring you some fun and maybe a little hope through a breakdown of time travel media.

Now it’s time to talk about the tech of this movie and the Bens held nothing back. They each went for a key piece of tech from the plot of the movie. Imagine if we’d done DeLoreans and Mr. Fusion for Back to the Future. It’s like that. Grab a hold of something that’s bolted down because this edutainment episode is going straight to the Rustbucket and the Omnitrix. Whether you’re a fan like Ben and Ben or a newbie like Ansel, this episode will help give context and meaning to the Race Against Time.

We watched the movie and hopefully, you did too. Whether you had the stomach to see the Rustbucket get blown up or not, we’re here to give our thoughts on the movie, what worked and what left us scratching our heads. Will the plumbers come to find us after we talk too much about the Hands of Armageddon and their silly laser weapons? Listen in before it’s too late!

This episode kicks off our coverage of “Ben 10: Race Against Time” which we suspect is no one’s favorite movie. As such, if you’re going to watch along before our review next week, you’re going to want to come armed with some watch along rules. That’s where we come in. We’ve got ten drinking and smoking rules from our Bens to help make this movie as fun as possible.

Meet the Robinsons: Review

From the distant, curvy future of the 2030’s two pop culture observers/zany podcast sidekicks/most excellent friends have put on their most outlandish leotard suits to give you some fun and maybe a little hope through a breakdown of time travel media.

This episode is from our second recording session, back in September of 2020. The Pandemic put us on pause for seven months. We tried recording in person in Ben’s backyard under the O’Hare bound flight path. While we still had a lot to learn, including recording remotely for the rest of the season, this was a great conversation. So, please put on your robot hats and enjoy this bonus recording and judge us by the other, better work we released prior to this.

Season Two is coming your way, starting in January. We’ve already got a couple episodes in the bag with special guest hosts Helena Handbasket and Ben Bilton. So, hold on tight because it’s still Time 2 Party!

This episode is from our first recording session, back in February of 2020. We’ve learned so much since then, mostly not to drink along to the movie and then try to record.

We watched and enjoyed the crap out of watching (for the umpteenth time) Back to the Future III and now it’s time to chat about some of the technology that stood out to us while we watched.

This is our first episode for this 1990 classic. This series changed the lives of everyone who works on this show and is largely why we are doing the show in the first place.

In this episode we have our first encounter with the undeniable force of Sci-Fi that is Star Trek and we could not do that without our friend and grown up in the room, Stella Cheeks. She’s Erin’s co-host on the podcasts Not Your Demographic and X-Treks as well as being the company owner for Chicago’s own, Plan 9 Burlesque. She’s a self described slut for Star Trek the Original Series. So, we could not have asked for a better first guest to be on the show. What drinking and smoking rules will this trio identify?
