Reilly. Cross your fingers for a monster-to-monster throw down when the film comes to theaters March 10, 2017.

You may love it, you may hate it, but you will respect the way Lars throws down on the mini cymbals.

Peter and Adam geek out over a choice piece of Peter's collection — an original HAL 9000 panel from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Interplanetary travel isn't easy. There are all kinds of ways to die — radiation, solar flares, equipment failures. But before you get to space, you need to get off the ground, and that's dangerous too. And if you actually make it to Mars — well, you get the idea.
