On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are recapturing their youths with the help of some peculiar “people.” We watched the 1985 film from Ron Howard, Cocoon.

Who among us wouldn’t want to turn by the inexorable hands of time and feel younger, healthier, and more vibrant? We are not even as old as the retirees shown in this movie and we would still jump at that opportunity.

Who cares if that would mean swimming amongst weird, alien pods probably spewing out otherworldly chemicals? If Cocoon is any indication, there will be no adverse effects at all. It’s a win-win for everyone!
