Bioshock
January 14, 2015 02:58 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBI cover the first of the Bioshock Series which is an interesting deviation into storytelling via games. The richness of the world is compelling, the story has twists and turns and is gripping but from a pure storytelling point of view the conflict between the needs of game mechanics and storytelling do clash. Amazing game […]

Warehouse 13 Series 1 & 2
January 07, 2015 00:00 - 2 hours - 69.1 MBEvery now and again there is a series that comes along and breaks my expectations. This is very much such a series. I went in expecting to be bored and hating it and walked away tearing out my hair that the show ended within 5 seasons. To kick it off we talk series 1 & […]

Last Christmas
December 27, 2014 05:42 - 27.4 MBWell we end the year the way we intended to start it. The apocalype joins me to talk the best Doctor Who episode of the year. Moffat definitely save the best for last by us martians. Hope everyone has had an excellent christmas.
Dark Heaven
December 07, 2014 13:23 - 1 hour - 40.9 MBSo Doctor Who is gone for another year. The Apocalypse has decided to break up with the good doctor while I enjoyed it. So rather than adding much more to the volumes already spoken about Doctor Who we look at the generations and their perspective.
Special Muffins of the Apocalypse
October 27, 2014 05:54 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBSo I finally managed to find time to go to *a* movie with the Apocalypse. As it turns out most of the movies we have made it to in the past 12 months are Dystopian Future, so we thought we would talk Dystopian future and why it resonates so much with modern teens.
Am I a good man Clara?
September 24, 2014 00:10 - 1 hour - 33.6 MBThe doctor has twice been put on trial for crimes by his people, been convicted of interfering (to do good) and forced to regenerate, has faced countless moral quandaries and saved the universe more times than I have had baked beans on toast, which admittedly isn’t that often. So why after all that is there […]
Mass Effect
September 04, 2014 06:12 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBOkay so the right way to play a game series is to start at the end, bumble through clueless then go back to the beginning and spend the next whatever going oooooooohhhh…. Riiiiggghhhttt. This was the exercise I undertook at the beginning of the year that started the beginnings and endings theme. Even though […]
Spoilers Sweetie
August 20, 2014 04:53 - 1 hour - 37.1 MBAs we kick back into Highway to Mars we are going to be covering a lot of beginnings and endings and how things change. One that is likely to cause a lot of discussion in the coming months is the transition between Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. The apocalypse joins me to talk about this […]
The Quiz
March 31, 2014 13:24 - 1 hour - 30.3 MBSo Martian Central has been busy fishing and Sci-fi work has been hard to come by. However just after breakfast the Apocalyse and I took out time to challenge each other to a science fiction quiz and of course I totally pned her teenage ass. Really… Truthfully… I will just nip off now to die […]
Stranger in a Strange Land
February 23, 2014 20:58 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBStranger in a Strange Land is one of those must reads in science fiction. In part it is an examination of us as humans, in part it is a mirror to us and in part it’s Heinleins examination of things in politics, religion and society that were clearly on his mind. Telling a Jungle Book […]
Robocop Smackdown
February 16, 2014 04:22 - 1 hour - 32.4 MBMetal men facing off against one another? What better challenge to throw at the apocalypse. Nobody likes the new robocop, let’s just get that out of the way but I thought this might be a bit of fun to compare the two at the risk of the internet melting down at my profanity. So like […]
Robocop 2014
February 12, 2014 11:11 - 1 hour - 32.1 MBNOOOOOOOOOO!!!! They cried. How can you do this? Now I have been among those that have said no to a remake on the grounds of love for the original. It’s a habit I am trying to kick and for the past year in general I have managed to stay clean. I did have an early […]
Almost Human
February 06, 2014 13:49 - 44 minutes - 20.4 MBAlmost Human is a futuristic cop show good on the entertainment but doesn’t add much to our understanding of it’s subject matter – robots. Robots in the Almost Human world come in two forms, the ken doll and the human lite. The ken dolls are dumb and disposable, the human lites like data, just want […]
Her
February 03, 2014 07:56 - 1 hour - 38.5 MBEvery now and again there is comes along a movie that disappoints, not on content but because it shows off everything that science fiction can do and then gets put into the bucket called niche market. This is what happened to Her, in my neck of the woods at least. Where Gravity with all its […]
The Time of the Doctor
January 13, 2014 05:58 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBChristmas wouldn’t be christmas without the Doctor Who christmas special. Yet they have been a variable fare of the year for the post Christmas Diner, some have been a pretty good accompaniment to the meal but some have been pretty meh. We have had a “first” doctor story for a christmas special with tennant and […]
Speaker for the Dead
December 31, 2013 22:22 - 2 hours - 55.3 MBSpeaker for the Dead is the best book I have read all year bar none. If there was a book that I could say encloses all that is Science Fiction and Sci-Fi in one book this is it, or probably more accurately the Enders Game/Speaker for the Dead duo is it. Between the two, man […]
Merry Christmas | Back to the Future
December 24, 2013 12:49 - 2 hours - 79.7 MBEveryone does christmas shows don’t they? Well I am not big on christmas and I think that instead of soppy feel good stories we need some good old fashioned time travel, Deloreans and rock and roll. This is one of my favourite movies ever but rather than cover it myself we “borrowed” an episode from […]
Use of Weapons
December 21, 2013 20:57 - 1 hour - 54.6 MBThis is the third of Iain Banks Culture novel series. True to it’s title Use of Weapons explores how just about anything can be a weapon, a look, a kiss, a chair, a gun, a missile. In one direction (moving forward) the novel follows the attempt of Dismet Sma to bring back into service Cheradinine […]
Enders Game
December 10, 2013 13:02 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBBooks vs Movies is always hard, especially when the book is one of the most celebrated books in all of science fiction. Hard as I try, I can’t avoid comparing the two. However that aside the reality is the movie is good, for the most part it maintains the core of the story and makes […]
Carrie
December 07, 2013 05:16 - 1 hour - 39.9 MBThe Apocalyse joined me to watch both versions of Carrie in a single day. Both versions are awesome, the 1976 version gets it about bang on for me but the modern version has quite a lot to like, not least Chloe Grace Moretz. We both love the story, this is undoubtedly one of the best […]
Catching Fire
December 02, 2013 22:16 - 2 hours - 69.9 MBThe martian household has been looking forward to catching fire and we were not disappointed. Katniss is the unintended hero, her actions starting a fire in the community that she can’t control. I enjoy the fact that for once the hero isn’t trying to be a hero, she’s simply out to survive in a horrible […]
Night Beasts
November 28, 2013 12:19 - 52 minutes - 23.9 MBRating “B” Grade movies is hard at times because it’s hardly fair to compare them against modern, slick, well funded productions. This movie I looked at as a developing film, the acting isn’t fantastic but still there are some gems. The indians in the movie provide the conflict and emotional release and to be fair, […]
