Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (w/ James Farley)
January 12, 2021 14:46 - 1 hour - 127 MBContinuing our trek through Trek this week. Aging actors, creepy mind violations, and knee nuts are among our deep dives for this final voyage of the original cast. Joining us is James Farley, a co-host from the Computer Game Show Podcast. Actual the second of those guys to head into the Sanctuary. You’ll find that podcast here and do dig around on the site for Star Calls, which should certainly resonate with our audience: https://tcgs.co/show/the-computer-game-show/ Please do like, sub...
The Highlander (w/ Jonathan Melville)
January 05, 2021 09:12 - 1 hour - 102 MBFull disclosure - this film is not our geek niche, though we give full and due respect to that niche (at least until the sequel). In fact - this turned out to be Matt's first viewing of the film. So, to balance the scales, we've got a guest, Jonathan Meville, who has fully immersed himself in the making of this cult classic. He recently published a fantastic book, "A Kind of Magic: The Making of the Original HIghlander," on that very topic and you should hit up this US Amazon link: https://...
Le voyage dans la lune
December 31, 2020 12:51 - 26 minutes - 44 MB"How about the space trip?" Space trip will be realized in the near future. As Apollo landed before for 30 years or more in the moon. you may do the mystical experience. We will offer a wonderful reception then. "Have a good trip!"

Starship Troopers (w/ Tom Secker)
December 29, 2020 10:15 - 1 hour - 118 MBEnding our monster month with a whole lot of them damn bugs. Gotta kill them all!! That or get into all the socio-facist implications of this under the radar satire, which is far more fun to do in podcast form. To get all this rolling on the right track, we have today's guest, Tom Secker. Tom is a British journalist who has written for Atlantic Today, The Independent, Newsweek, The Mirror, and the list goes on. His focus is a objective look at the military-industrial complex's influence on ...
"Yesterday's Enterprise" from Star Trek: TNG (w/ Eric Stillwell)
December 24, 2020 10:03 - 1 hour - 113 MBChristmas bonus for you!! It may be television, but it rates with any of the Trek films. And we can do this because it's chronologically before Star Trek VI. Even better, we've got one of the story writers, Eric Stilwell, on as a guest. Along with writing this, he served as a production assistant and script coordinator for TNG, so the man has some tales to tell. Some of them are at his blog: https://boldlygoing.blog Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twi...
Jingle All the Way (w/ Mark Malek)
December 22, 2020 10:20 - 1 hour - 108 MBGimmie your Christmas!! You can say it's not sci-fi, but let's not forget Turbo Man, jetpacks, and the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger exists is pretty sci-fi. Matt used to bum around on Christmas with guest Mark Malek while they both ignored their families, so he seemed like good fit here.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters
December 15, 2020 10:59 - 59 minutes - 96.4 MBWhile this is the most recent place to get your monster action - we're not sure it's the best. Nevertheless, there are quite a few monsters to discuss here. A bit of a weird one for us with Matt beaming in his end of the audio from the day room of a Japanese hospital - I guess that's fitting for a Godzilla flick.

Son of Kong
December 08, 2020 14:56 - 57 minutes - 92.4 MBWe're continuing our plunge into the monstrous this month with this medium sized monster - a Diddy Kong if you will. It's a weird mismash of 30's film styles which is strangely also a direct sequel to King Kong.

The Valley of Gwangi
December 01, 2020 16:34 - 51 minutes - 83.7 MBWe're kicking of our monster month at the Sci-fi Sanctuary with this one. It features those weird, off-brand, pre-Jurassic Park dinosaurs, but at least they've been animated by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. As an added side tangent, this is probably the closest we're going to get on covering "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

The Truman Show (w/ Miguel Conner)
November 24, 2020 13:11 - 1 hour - 103 MBLots of "metas" to wade through with Jim Carrey's first notable foray into a more dramatic role. We think a few Deep Thoughts, consider what it takes to make a satisfying life. and hold the film up to the mirror of Gnosticism. And who better to join us on that journey than writer, podcaster, and deep diver into all things Gnostic, Miguel Conner. You can continue that dive with him over at his Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio, found at this link: https://thegodabovegod.com/ Luke is getting back in...
When Worlds Collide
November 17, 2020 08:05 - 53 minutes - 87 MBThis one is a groundbreaking, early sci-fi feature - but it's also a mighty dry affair and serves up a heaping pile of 1950's weird racism. Matt and Luke try to unpack the ins and outs of this George Pal film about the end of the world. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Wherever you happen to be hearing us, really.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (w/ Scott Atkinson)
November 10, 2020 07:24 - 1 hour - 106 MBIt's the Trek film so bad it's been effectively booted out of canon. But is it really that bad? Once we did our best to get past William Shatner's admittedly entertaining ego, we had a rollicking time and got into those deep questions about if we "need our pain," and "What does God need with a starship?" Joining us for the ride is Scott Atkinson, who you hear every week anyway on our intro. For more of his groove, check out this week's tunes from one of the many albums he's worked on with M...
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
November 03, 2020 08:23 - 56 minutes - 91.8 MBA year ago we watched Dark Fate, had a chat, and said we'd get back to it and T2 in a year's time. We stand by our word, homeslices. And here we are with T2 and the next major bullet point in our ongoing cavalcade of Arnold. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

The Thing (w/ Henrique Couto)
October 27, 2020 08:13 - 1 hour - 107 MBHere's the Thing. Like, literally - we're talking about the Thing. Y'know - for our spooky October. Luke has always seen it as a seminal sci-fi/horror, while Matt had been afraid to watch it, but now he loves it. Then there is Henrique Couto - director of spooky movies and narrator of spooky podcasts. He's got a fair amount to say about "The Thing," and if you need more, go here: http://hen.storenvy.com/ Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Po...
Preview! Monster Mash Episode 89
October 22, 2020 05:00 - 43 minutes - 55.5 MBWhat’s this? Luke’s other podcast, Monster Mash, is making its triumphant return? This is the comeback episode of Monster Mash, a podcast about the monsters from the Monster Hunter videogames. The podcast disappeared when Luke moved to Japan but it is back! It’s been slightly over two years but, energised by the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise we are podcasting about Hunting monsters again! This is a catch-up with the boys, their thoughts on Monster Hunter World two and a half years on...
Re-Animator (w/ Andrew Shearer)
October 20, 2020 08:37 - 59 minutes - 95.9 MBThe Sci-fi Sanctuary is getting a couple weeks spooky for this Octoberfest starting with "Re-Animator." The Webster's Dictionary defines "re-animate" as to animate again. At least I assume it does - gI didn't actually check or anything. Also, Jeffery Combs. And Andrew Shearer. He basically replaces Luke in this one since Luke was busy trying to become bonafide in a Japanese gym when we recorded this. Anyway, Andrew likes this one enough to have commissioned a script read of it with an all-...
The Fountain (w/ Von Galt)
October 13, 2020 08:33 - 1 hour - 115 MBWe've got a metaphysical, Hugh Jackman-sized puzzle box this week for you to solve with your interdimensional mind. All that, and some ruminations on Buddhism to get your thunker thinking - or better yet, not thinking. Today, we will talk about the iconic movie, "The Fountain", with Buddhist author, Von Galt. Von's recently released book, "Buddhist Mandalas: Explore Parallel Realities with Sacred Geometry" goes over the science behind everyone's energy field, which she calls your "Merkaba...
In Time (w/ Ricky Varandas)
October 06, 2020 08:08 - 1 hour - 118 MBGettin' your sexyback with JT in this high-concept sci-fi set in a dystopian world where everyone's time to live is literally ticking down own their forearms. Luckly, Matt, Luke, and guest Ricky had plenty of time to get into the details of this one. Especially the classic car details. Ricky Varandas is the host of the Ripple Effect podcast, which features long-form conversations with social, political, and cultural minds of all persuasions. His handle everywhere social media-wise is rv...
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (w/ Sue and Sarah from Women at Warp)
September 29, 2020 08:03 - 1 hour - 109 MBWrapping up 80's sci-fi/comedy month with a film that is, of course, a full-on genre sci-fi that manages to deftly jump into those comedy waters. Yes, it is the Star Trek that bonk bonks you on the head about the whales and treats you to some colourful metaphors. Joining us for this romp is an away team from the fantastic Star Trek podcast Women at Warp. They take a look at Star Trek from a multitude of angles with a feminist perspective, and it is fantastic listening for all. Here is the...
Bill and Ted Face the Music
September 23, 2020 08:26 - 1 hour - 109 MBChecking back in with Bill and Ted after a 30 year break. Guess they need to finally write that world unifying song... or do they? We're rolling along with an honest-to-Zeus sequel returning us to this excellent world.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey
September 22, 2020 08:23 - 53 minutes - 86.1 MBAs our 80's comedy sci-fi month continues, Matt and Luke get deep behind the zen philosophy of Bill and Ted with this dive into their first few films. That, and we make jokes of questionable taste which may or may not be funny (why not comment and review!). And yes - we will be following up with the new one in the soon-soon.

Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2
September 15, 2020 08:47 - 1 hour - 100 MBRolling through our sci-fi comedy month is this duo of films that are as 80's as you can get. There may have been Wall-E, and 80's Robot, but Johnny Five was first - unless we count the NES's R.O.B. and some early industrial robotics.

Twins
September 08, 2020 08:28 - 53 minutes - 86 MBWe've seemed to have stumbled a bit into a sci-fi comedy month - we'll be getting to Short Circuit and the Bill & Ted films (including the new one) later this month. This one doesn't seem so sci-fi on the surface, but once you consider the genetic experiment resulting in the twins, and that weird engine in the boot of the car, it gets a pass in the Sanctuary. To be fair, Schwarzenegger always gets a pass in the Sanctuary. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook,...
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (w/ Andrew Shearer)
September 02, 2020 08:14 - 1 hour - 123 MBIt's astounding!! There's nothing more of a cult film than this one. It may have "horror" in the title, but it is far from lacking in science fiction double feature tropes. Matt may have made it to about 20 midnight screenings of this one, but returning guest Andrew Shearer went so many more times playing Riff Raff as part of the cast that would go wild in front of the screen. He's the Great Gonzo of microcinema, and you can get started at his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gon...
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (w/ Larry Nemecek aka "Dr. Trek")
August 25, 2020 10:10 - 1 hour - 97.6 MBStar Trek III is that one hanging on back at the party. You probably wouldn't notice them much, but if you strike up a conversation, you may be in for a good time. I hope we managed that here. Today's guest is Larry Nemecek, who straight up owns the name "Dr. Trek." He wrote the literal book on TNG in the 90's, is a consultant for a myriad of things Trek (including the loved and lamented "Star Trek: The Experience" in Las Vegas), played a bit of McCoy on one of the better Star Trek fan ...
Minority Report (w/ Charlie Robinson)
August 18, 2020 10:39 - 1 hour - 115 MBIn 2002, it all seemed so fantastically dystopian. But in 2020, it comes across more like reality spiced with a few gallows humor anachronisms. We get deep into the dark vibe that pulses from the heart of this Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise jam. And we've got the right man to get that weird with us. Charlie Robinson is the author of the encyclopedia of spiritual skepticism, "The Octopus of Global Control," and has his own fantastic podcast, "Macroagressions." Here's a link to get down with ...
Magical Mystery Tour (w/ Dan Richter)
August 11, 2020 09:19 - 1 hour - 100 MBThis Beatles flick is more bizarrely fantastical than science fiction, but today's guest certainly has some serious sci-fi cred. Dan Richter is at the center of a Venn diagram of the grooviest art of the 1960's. He played Moonwatcher, the lead ape in the opening Dawn of Man sequence in "2001: A Space Odyssey," and yes, we get back to that for a bit here as well. He was a friend of Yoko Ono when she was pushing the avant-garde edge in the mid-60's, and later served as John and Yoko's pers...
Batman Begins
August 04, 2020 10:48 - 55 minutes - 90.1 MBSWEAR TO ME YOU WILL LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST!!! We will be getting to more Nolan films, but this is the last of our 2020 Nolan month, which ends without a new Nolan film. We get into militarized police, suicidal caterpillars, and loud bug noises. Maybe Matt should have chosen a nice snowy temple to record in like the League of Shadows' instead of this mid-summer one. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Wherever you h...
Inception (w/ Santiago Velasquez)
July 28, 2020 07:42 - 1 hour - 119 MBThe original idea was so do a Nolan month that would be capped off by Christopher Nolan’s new sci-fi, “Tenant.” In our weird world, that one has been pushed back to mid-September or more, but we’re rolling the ball anyway with 2010 action-blasting epic puzzle box, “Inception.” Joining us today is Santiago Velasquez, who played in a punk rock band with Matt in the 90’s, and is now a man of his own means, making PG-13 erotic female combat videos over at his site, Sleeper Kids World. He’s o...
Interstellar (w/ Dr. Erin MacDonald, Science Advisor for Star Trek)
July 21, 2020 14:56 - 1 hour - 98.3 MBThis week we’ve decided to add some class to an intellectually superior sci-fi film, but Matt and Luke are not the ones up for that job. Fortunately, we do have Dr. Erin Macdonald on the microphone, who is fully qualified to go deep into things like gravitational waves and the different zones of black holes. She is currently science advising for - all of Star Trek. Now, this film is not Star Trek, but it lives those Roddenberry ideals as hard as the best Trek does. Learn some more by star...
Sonic the Hedgehog
July 14, 2020 12:16 - 41 minutes - 67.7 MBGotta Go Fast!!! - in this somewhat shorter episode of the Sci-Fi Sanctuary. How does the world of Sonic turn out in this film?

Total Recall
July 07, 2020 13:46 - 53 seconds - 101 MBI think we’ve already made it clear that this is an Arnold positive podcast, and this one is about as Arnold as you can get. Director Paul Verhoven went as ultraviolent as possible (unless you count some of his other films), and we dive down into the nitty-gritty of this Martian civilizing, blood squib blasting, and absolutely tripped out mind-fragger of a film.

Independence Day (w/ Mark Malek from "Quaranstein")
June 30, 2020 13:30 - 1 hour - 155 MBLuke is British and watches this every Independence Day. Mark is American, got sick in the theatre watching this, and would definitely not vote for Bill Pullman. Matt mostly just giggles like a loon. That’s three-fourths of the Gospel truth on ID4, and all of it if you’ll take in that Luke has “John” in his middle name. Today’s guest, Mark Malek, was involved in “Quaranstein,” a quarantined Frankenstein hybrid that you can read about here: https://filmthreat.com/reviews/quaranstein/ And...
Revolt in the Fifth Dimension

Transformers (w/ Stuart Webb from Podcast Maximus)
June 23, 2020 23:39 - 1 hour - 154 MBThis week we chat about what is arguably the template for the 2010’s blockbuster. If our normal conversation isn’t geek enough for you, we’ve brought in Stuart Webb, who wrote “Transformation: A Personal Journey Through the British Transformers Comic,” and co-hosts “Podcast Maximus.” Find Stuart’s world at these fine links: Podcast Maximus: http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/features/podcast/ Blog: https://thesolarpool.weebly.com/ Twitter: Https://twitter.com/InflatableDalek Please do like...
Space is the Place
June 16, 2020 12:30 - 57 minutes - 92.3 MBWe rolled tape on this Blaxploitation, Afro-Futurist jam on May 24th, not knowing that the next day the whole world was gonna straight up open that putrid can of worms called “racism,” that had been taking up way too much space on the shelf. It’s not that we regret what we said here, but we obviously omit George Floyd, who was still thankfully walking at the time, and we jokingly dismiss white supremacists. We would have given them more firebrand hell the next day. Black Lives Matter. Why...
Back to the Future (w/ David Turner from "The Computer Game Show")
June 10, 2020 07:32 - 1 hour - 142 MBEveryone loves this one, right? It’s like a Platonic solid of a movie. Luke and Matt needed some heavy artillery to do this one justice, so we are joined by Dave Turner of “The Computer Game Show” and “Star Call's” podcasts. Geek love is thrown at the flick, uncomfortable questions about yo’ momma are asked,and we try to flux capacitate our brains into the weird mechanics of time travel. David Turner may be found at links such as these: https://www.thecomputergameshow.com/ https://twitt...

Godzilla
May 26, 2020 12:39 - 1 hour - 108 MBMatt and Luke take on this monster of a flick from atop a rugged Japanese mountaintop.

Color Out of Space
May 20, 2020 07:44 - 1 hour - 120 MBIt’s like the color, maaannn. And the space. And crazy Nic Cage having a go with Lovecraftian sci-fi horror. The movie pretty much came out of nowhere, but Matt and Luke find it a great jumping of point to talk about the weirds.

Mad Max
May 12, 2020 08:15 - 1 hour - 104 MBIs he mad because he’s angry?…. crazy? Probably because he’s both? But hey, Matt and Luke are here to compare this film about a slow apocalypse in progress with your current experience living a slow apocalypse in progress. One thing this film definitely has is top notch vehicular action, Mel Gibson when he still had charm, and the creepiest villain this side of, uh, modern Mel Gibson.

Silent Running
May 05, 2020 05:02 - 1 hour - 104 MBBruce Dern pulls off the greatest social distancing, self-isolating hat trick ever as he murders his crewmates on the cargo ship Valley Forge, and heads off into deep space with only a couple of cute drones for company. Oh yeah, and the last vestiges of nature as the Valley Forge had been commanded to destroy its biodomes and return home (hence the murdering). How will Luke and Matt take on this philosophically deep movie with visionary design from sci-fi effects legend Douglas Trumbull (wh...
Dragonball: Evolution
April 28, 2020 15:04 - 55 minutes - 89.7 MBWe is getting ballz deep in these Dragonballz!! Should I have used those Z's?

Planet of the Apes (2001)
April 22, 2020 00:34 - 51 minutes - 83.6 MBMaybe this bit of Monkey Magic isn't so much bad, but horribly misguided.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (w/ Norman Lao and John Champion from "Mission Log")
April 18, 2020 10:51 - 1 hour - 140 MBTaking a break from our bad movie month to do a really good movie - with really good guests. The sci-fi geek who would besmirch the name of Khan is a rare breed indeed, and none of the four fellers in this discussion would dream of doing that. John Champion and Normal Lao join us from "Mission Log: A Star Trek Roddenberry Podcast" to get under the hood of this sci-fi classic with us and do Shatner impressions. John's already done a lap with Khan a few years back on Mission Log, but this is...
Ready Player One
April 15, 2020 10:03 - 42 seconds - 106 MBAre you to live free, or not? Matt doesn't like this reference heavy dystopian fantasy. Luke sees the bet, raises, and profanely rages against this movie with his fist in the air. Now, this month is April Ain't Sh!t. - movies at least one of us actively dislikes. We didn't know that this one about lost people in a crumbling world - escaping into the digital - would end up being quite this relevant and timely. Damn reality.
