BS Reactor
Here at B.S. Reactor we get our friends to chat about stuff that we couldn’t find anyone else to talk to us about. Topics include shows, films, news, art, comics and what ever else comes to mind.
Episodes
This time the crew wrap up their discussion of Airplane!; a movie where intelligence and stupidity achieve perfect aerodynamic balance. They dig further into the film’s relentless joke machine, dead-serious performances, questionable aging, and the strange craftsmanship required to make complete nonsense work this well. Avoid the fish, respect the inflatable pilot, and please return your expectations to the upright position.
This Week Evan, Pat, and Isaac begin their descent into the 1980 comedy classic Airplane! They launch into its rapid fire joke rate, serious performances, disaster movie DNA, and the strange science of why incredibly stupid jokes can land. Surely they can stay on topic. And yes, we called them Shirley.
Good evening, passengers, and welcome aboard B S Reactor.
This week, the crew is warming up for Airplane! — a film about aviation, disaster, human weakness, and the important discovery that almost any sentence becomes funny if everyone involved refuses to admit it's a joke.
Before departure, a maintenance update: my voice is still being repaired.
It's fine.
The technicians are confident.
I'm confident.
We've agreed confidence...
This week we're wrapping up our review of Earth Girls are Easy.
Welcome back to BS Reactor, where we're continuing our discussion of Earth Girls Are Easy. Yes, we know. The title sounds less like a quirky 1988 comedy and more like something hidden behind the bead curtain at a video rental store. Rest assured, despite what your brain immediately assumes, it's actually a colorful sci-fi comedy with musical numbers, big hair, and aliens who adapt to Earth far faster than some voice over bot update...
Yo! Radical beings of Earth! Welcome back to BS Reactor, broadcasting in simulated stereo and approximately six shades of neon.

Please adjust your shoulder pads, tease your hair to OSHA-violating heights, and set your cassette deck to "totally awesome." You've successfully tuned into BS Reactor, where this week the crew begins talking about the gloriously dumb 1988 film Earth Girls Are Easy.

Welcome back, listeners.
This week, we reach the end of our journey through Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III — a movie that accidentally stumbles into some drama while carrying a mask and a sword.
Humans are strange. Put them in a different place, a different time, or a different social group, and they immediately start asking the same questions:
“Who am I? Where do I belong? Why did I touch the magic thing?"
The turtle...
Greetings, meat-based pod friends; Welcome back to BS Reactor...

Subject: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.
Complication: feudal Japan… and [NAME REDACTED] Next door mowing his stupid lawn.
Welcome back to BS Reactor, where this week the crew warms up for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III — the film that, reacting to no one, screamed, “What if time travel instead of anything people are emotionally invested in! YEAH! Blow the entire budget on scenery! Kids fucking LOVE scenery!!...
FINAL CONTAINMENT UPDATE: “OOZE INCIDENT”. Status: “Relocated”!!! Containment: “Delegated… with optimism.”
Welcome back to BS Reactor. This week, we conclude our conversation about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a film that asks a very big question in a very simple way: if something changes you… is it still you? Also: why is it glowing?
Current situa...
STATUS UPDATE: “OOZE INCIDENT” Diplomacy Phase: “Ongoing” Side Effects: “Developing… personality”

Welcome back to BS Reactor. This week, the crew begins their investigation into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a 1991 film where science is a plot point, physics is negotiable, and everyone agrees that bathing in green goo is a splendid idea.
“Quick briefing before exposure”: there will be spoilers. The kind that kick the door down and yell ‘GO NINJA GO.’ And yes, there will ...
Well, well… look who’s back at the Reactor. Spoilers, it’s us! After a brief, pause, the crew has returned to the microphones. Slightly rested, moderately functional, and once again ready to overthink movies that absolutely did not ask for it.
This week, we’re warming up for a conversation about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze — a film that boldly asked, ‘What if we added...
Welcome back. This is the part where things wind down — the conversation, the film, and, briefly, half the teams’ immune systems... This week, the crew is finishing up their discussion of 2046 — a movie about memory, repetition, and refusing to let go. Which is fitting, because half the team is currently refusing to let go of whatever seasonal plague has decided to move in.
Before we proceed, the usual notices. Ye...
Welcome back. Or perhaps… welcome again. It’s hard to tell with a film like 2046. Time folds, emotions echo, and everyone insists they’re moving forward while standing still... This week, the crew continues their conversation about the 2046 — a movie about memory, longing, and the quiet panic of realizing you’ve been thinking about the same moment for far too long. Naturally, we all had thoughts. Seve...
Alright. Let’s talk about time. Humans love time. You measure it, waste it, complain you don’t have enough of it, then spend hours debating a movie that’s about not moving on. You things are truly incredible.
Welcome back to B S Reactor. This is Part Two of our conversation about 2046 — a film that asks, ‘What if nostalgia had a boarding pass?’ and then refuses to tell you when the train is sched...
They say some places exist only in memory. Others exist in anticipation. And some… exist because you keep returning to them, hoping for smart and witty banter...
Welcome back to BS Reactor. This time, the crew begins their conversation about 2046 — a film about time, longing, repetition, and the quiet ache of moments that never quite resolve. Which feels appropriate, considering this is also our fifth anniversary. Five...
