I've finally listened to the Star Trek commentary and looked over the boards, and had the thought... why not do an episode of the fan show Star Trek Phase II? Contrast low budget geek Trek to new big budget pop Trek. If you do the latest two parter Dorkman can comment on the love story

There are two steps to worshiping a god: first, does it exist, and second is it something I feel is worth worshiping? After all, if we find proof the old Mayan gods are real how many will be down to going back to human sacrifices? Personally I feel any being that condemns those who don't bow before it to be evil, be it god or man, but luckily so far nothing has passed the first test in my opinion.

To bring this back to movies, I LOVE the John Carpenter film Prince of Darkness, partly due to the premiss: what if God, creator of the universe, in fact existed in the anti-mater part of existence and thus what was good to him we'd see as evil? Talk about being screwed...

If the situation is you have a friend who just really wants to give his take on what he did for the movie... why not have a "very special episode" of Down in Front in addition to a regular Serenity commentary? Sort of a Rifftrax Presents or iRiff plus a Rifftrax Do a regular episode, then later have one or more of you do an episode with the guest focusing more on the VFX and post both at the same time. I like the idea of having a forum for crew to come out and talk about the finished project, but in ADDITION to the regular show... when possible

A movie popped into my head I haven't thought about in a long time: Outland, the 1981 Sean Connery film. Like with Alien I read the novelization long before actually seeing the movie, and always liked how it seemed to be set in the same universe as Alien (near future, "realistic" space tech, amoral corporation). For one, brief period I thought they were setting up some sort of shared universe idea but it seems to have just lasted two movies...
