A lively Mariachi band can make for great entertainment at a wedding, young Pokemon trainers are being raised within Cody’s House, and a discussion of one of the most underappreciated sci-fi films to have come out in the last 20 years; these are the contents of this week’s episode of Parallel Quest. Listen in as Cody and Zach share about the time they saw the movie Super 8 and how it became an instant classic for each one of them. Seeing this movie did not come without a little bit of drama beforehand, though, for Cody and Zach have a history of not-so-great movie theater experiences together. Super 8, definitely delivered in spite of skepticism going in. The film combines nostalgia, tried and true storytelling methods, and a heavy handed theme, which all comes together to make a fun film for people of all ages.
