Sci-fi July: An Infinity of Titles keeps on rolling with 1986's STAR SLAMMER aka PRISON SHIP aka STAR SLAMMER: PRISON SHIP aka THE ADVENTURES OF TAURA: PRISON SHIP STAR SLAMMER. Directed Fred Olen Ray, STAR SLAMMER (aka PRISON SHIP aka... you get it) blends comedy with sword and sandal movies, women in prison movies, sci-fi movies and girls just want to have fun movies into a taught hour and 26 minutes.

STAR SLAMMER stars Sandy Brook (They Call Me Bruce?) as Taura who is wrongly confined to a prison ship aka STAR SLAMMER (not again). In reality, STAR SLAMMER is little more than a prison-style all-inclusive resort where instead of sitting by the pool, you get pushed around by intimidating staff. You get free food, alcohol, impromptu dance clubs and, the most coveted of experiences, solitary confinement.

We get deep in this episode. Erica asks the question everyone has been asking, "what is the purpose of a thong in space?" We discuss the effects of space travel on perms including whether the bends also have an effect. We discuss the best, bad-ass prison nicknames like "Sleep Apnea Bitch". And we even spend some time talking about Radiohead. Did you know they're big deep sea divers? You will after listening to this episode.

Ultimately, STAR SLAMMER should be a must-eat menu item from Denny's. You hear that, Denny's? This is a free idea you should consider. Get on it before IHOP does. You're welcome.

What's the best elixir for get deep into conversation with you mom? You may know already, but we discuss, and imbibe! Was Bergman a "bro," we explore! And do you want stories about piano lessons from our actual life? You just lucked out!

Trust us, 'ol Berg put together a wild movie, and so our episode follows suit, as we discuss the business Bergie should have dived into, delve into Berg Berg's personal life, and hey, are those pizza bites ready yet? Did the timer go off? Are we wrapped for the day or do we have to film more close-ups? Trust us, this is the episode of Bergman you don't want to miss!
