Mad Science: Food Fights Back! (Return of the Killer Tomatoes & Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs)

Mad Science Meets Mealtime. This week on Journey Through Sci-Fi, we’re serving up a double helping of food-fueled madness as we dive into Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988) and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009).

From sentient tomatoes plotting global domination to various meats falling from the sky. Is it delicious, disgusting… or both? And which one has a surprising link to The Muppets?

Join us as we chew over the bizarre origins of these culinary sci-fi comedies and ask the ultimate question: would you eat that?
