Once a month, the FilmRoasters select a classic, culturally significant achievement in cinema history and slowly incinerate it over a pit of microphone-fueled mockery. February's guest of honor is the non-Keanu version of The Day the Earth Stood Still, the movie that gave rise to that classic phrase, "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto!"
