Square hogs! Yeah, it’s fair to say I loved this one from the start.

Okay, I’ve got one that no one has mentioned.
Without clicking the link, just imagine what it might be.
Got it pictured?
Yes. It is exactly what you imagined. But somehow it’s also just all around…good? It’s good. I can’t explain it. But… it’s just… a pretty good movie.

Square hogs! The square hogs are one of my all time favorite movie details. They’re so goofy, but still enhance the world building.

Freaky! For the most part, name a movie, any movie, and I haven’t seen it. But I’m one of the few people who saw Space Truckers in a theater. Stuart Gordon went to school here, so he had screening of the film at the student union, followed by a Q&A session, back in '96.
Yes, it was a hoot! Gordon was a founder of an experimental theater company here which has the improv mentality of treating goofy ideas seriously and just going with them. That sensibility shows through in the movie, for sure.

It absolutely shows through. Watching Space Truckers is surreal like leaning over to look at a drawing on someone’s refrigerator, only to gradually realize that it’s a Picasso or a Rembrandt, just from their “crayon” phase. Space Truckers absolutely is what it says on the movie cover, just executed with a surprising mastery than even a casual movie fan like me couldn’t miss.
