Summary

On episode 179 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by writer, podcast host, and Bigfoot hunter, Andrew Sanford. On the heels of the scientific breakthrough of finding signatures of life on Venus, Ryan and Andrew discuss two films that asked the questions: Are we alone, and if not, how do we make contact? Those films are The Arrival (1996) and Arrival (2016). These films could not have been more diametrically opposed on how they decided to answer these questions. Join the guys as they navigate their way through both films and ride the cosmic rollercoaster of emotions from laughing to immediately crying. This is the whiplash of The Arrival(s)!

0:00.0	This is somewhere in the skies, with rain spread.
0:30.0	Today on the show, we are joined by television writer, comedian Bigfoot Hunter, and podcast host Andrew
0:41.4	Sanford. Hot on the heels of the exciting news of signatures of alien life, possibly being
0:47.7	detected on Venus, we are taking a look at two movies that ask the questions, are we alone,
0:55.2	and if not, how can we make contact? Although, these movies couldn't be any more diametrically

1:10.5	Best line of the movie, San says, actually, I look like a can of smashed assholes. And then

2:22.6	Andrew, how you doing, buddy?
2:24.0	Ryan, hello, hello. I'm happy to be here for the, oh, God, how many, I'm trying to think
