Episode 134 – The Invasion (2007)

We come to this place for magic, and what’s more magical than a breathy-voiced Nicole Kidman going up against alien spores with nothing but a handgun and a montage of unexpected high paced action sequences? Nothing, friends. The answer is nothing! Ok, well… a lot. Still, when you’re talking about an overlooked and relatively obscure mid-2000’s attempt at action-horror film such as 2007’s The Invasion, there’s plenty of nonsense for Troy and Roger to discuss! From a charming, yet severely underutilized Daniel Craig, to an even more underutilized blink and you’ll miss her appearance from a young Malin Akerman, to a surprise cameo appearance from none other than Nicole Kidman's nipples clear as day through a white T-shirt, how could these gays resist taking off on yet another out of this world review for this week’s episode!
