15 years after the original, we’re taking to the skies again with Toothless and Hiccup! Jason and Rosie break down the How to Train Your Dragon live action remake, with reactions to the flying scenes, the cast, and Jason’s half serious theory on the movie’s darker message. Then Joelle and Aaron join to discuss How to Train Your Dragon, Lilo & Stitch, and the current trend of live action remake movies. Do we want a remake or an adaptation? Which ones have been good? Plus, everyone picks their favorite (and least favorite) live action remake.

Jason and Rosie convene the X-Ray Vision producers to a conclave to once and for all define the boundaries of the genre called science fiction. Joelle let's loose the incendiary opinion that the Star Wars franchise is in fact not a part of the genre. Abu tries to introduce Snow Piercer, Rosie is aghast when the entire table turns against the anime classic Akira, and Jason argues against Everything Everywhere All At Once. From there, the table erupts into chaos. What is the Jurassic Park Contingency? How will the Iron Giant Correlate impact a fan favorite? And, how does Carmen remain the queen of movies?!
