This week on the io9 show, we ask why it is that NASA can put a
robot on Mars, but Hollywood can't make any realistic movies
about the red planet. We examine the worst Mars movies ever, and
special guest Phil Plait (the good astronomer behind the Bad
Astronomy blog) helps us figure out how realistic they are.
Actually, you might be surprised what gets high marks for
realism and what doesn't.  Be sure to catch more episodes of the
io9 show on our YouTube page!
