Episode 297 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at Mars Attacks!. Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down Tim Burton's 1996 sci-fi black comedy, based on the infamous Topps trading card series. They examine the film's massive ensemble cast, its satirical take on alien invasion movies, and how Burton blended 1950s B-movie influences with dark humor, over-the-top destruction, and one of the most unconventional blockbuster casts of the decade.

They also discuss the film's troubled development, the decision to replace stop-motion effects with CGI, Danny Elfman's score, and the movie's evolution from box office disappointment to cult classic. Does Mars Attacks! work as a sharp parody of alien invasion films and American institutions, or is it simply a gloriously chaotic exercise in Tim Burton's unique brand of filmmaking? Dive into that and a lot more!
