Battlefield Earth: More Kerbango, please

In this episode of Cinema Duces Tecum, the gang pops open a Kerbango and plunges into the chaotic world of Battlefield Earth.

Is it an underrated sci-fi masterpiece or a catastrophic flop?With a mix of sharp critique and comedic analysis, the crew dissects everything from John Travolta's over-the-top performance to the baffling physics of Harrier jets left untouched for 1,000 years. They debate whether the film is a misunderstood gem or a cinematic catastrophe, with passionate defenses, brutal takedowns, and even a haiku to sum it all up.

Along the way, the crew delves into:

✔️ Earl Pascoe, the most memorable bartender in film history, whose legacy outlives his screen time.

✔️ The mystery of Harrier jets fueled by centuries-old, never-ending energy.

✔️ The astonishing efficacy of a simple nose clip in alien atmospherics.

✔️ The downfall of an empire by one man, one simulator, and graphics reminiscent of a Windows 98 screensaver.

✔️ And, of course, Kerbango: the extraterrestrial beverage of choice for champions (and dubious budgetary decisions).

Grab your Kerbango, settle in for a barrage of laughs, and perhaps a new appreciation (or disdain) for this infamous film. Next up, "Drop Zone"—will it soar or crash? Tune in to find out!
