Brian leads us where we have never gone before...the Forbidden Planet!  We discuss what's so "forbidden" about it and genuinely have fun picking apart this classic sci-fi film.  We have plenty of laughs along the way, but this episode is so interesting and fascinating that even a Vulcan mind-meld would reveal that the BIG Sci-Fi Podcast crew is definitely worth listening to!   Music featured at th...
