It's not like some weird happenstance, or that some of the people are just way better at their jobs. The guys in charge of the movies first started out by trying to find indie scifi movies that didn't suck. There weren't many, but they went with what they could find. And then it dawned on them that they could do movies just as bad and do it more cheaply than what they were paying for with the movies they were getting. So they did. As it turns out, the really cheap really bad movies that the guys set out to make turned in just about the same ratings as the more expensive but still bad movies that they were paying other people for. Maybe Wil was bored for a weekend. It can't take longer than that to make one of those terrible movies. It's the equivalent of working a temp job for the rest of us, I imagine. Or retail. I need to add your show back to my queue. Since not having a job, I don't listen to music podcasts anymore. But I miss High Orbit. They actually do it on purpose.
