November 06, 2018 16:00 - 55 minutes - 66 MBThis week Chris hosts as we take a look at Danny Boyle’s Sunshine, the first of a loose (and late) horror trilogy of shows. Disagreement is rife about whether this is a good film, half a good film, or just rubbish all the way through. Does Sunshine have one of film’s worst villains? Does anyone know whats up with Cillian Murphy? And which nation do we manage to accidentally offend this week? All the answers and more within! GIVE US 5 STARS ON ITUNES! Get in touch!

Timecrimes is the latest addition to the list, with Alex hosting as we pull apart the complicated plot that inevitably comes with a time paradox.

October 16, 2018 11:00 - 23 minutes - 27.9 MBChris is away filming his Alien short film so Sam and Alex take the oppurtunity to indulge their taste for terrible films. In two special episodes we watch a selection of upcoming and old awful looking films, ranking the lot before choosing one to get the proper full show treatment.

Jackie Chan in ten films at once, the world’s worst AI voice, Nicolas Cage ...

October 02, 2018 06:00 - 41 minutes - 48.8 MBThis week the gang watch George Miller's Mad Max, a little Australian indie flick that made a lot of money that introduced the world to Mel Gibson, so has a knock against it from the start.

Next week our first Spanish film, its Timecrimes GIVE US 5 STARS ON ITUNES! Get in touch! Visit the Website!...
0073: The Abyss
September 25, 2018 11:00 - 56 minutes - 66.1 MBJames Cameron really loves the water, so he made a very expensive film that was very difficult to film so he could become a fish for a few months. The result is The Abyss, a clunky blockbuster that has a lot more issues than its watery setting. Join us as we discuss why no one makes films like this, what’s going on with Cameron’s choking fetish and try and fix the terrible ending. Next week post apocalyptic fun with George Miller’s original Mad Max! GIVE US 5 STARS ON ITUNES! Get in touc...
0072: Predators
September 17, 2018 13:00 - 52 minutes - 41.3 MBRemember how great Predator was last week? What a well thought out, tightly scripted and tense action film it was? And remember Predator 2? How it took that formula and transplanted it to a city, adding police procedural stuff and weirdo cults to create some fresh and exciting? Well forget all that because this week we watch Predators, where gruff librarian Adrien Brody leads a group of dull Z-listers around a fake jungle in a vain attempt to locate the magic that made the original film so ...
0071: Predator
September 10, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBWe’re back with a bang, as we celebrate the release of The Predator by watching Predator, no The required. Join us for an in depth breakdown of John McTiernan’s monster movie classic, as we follow Arnie and a team of ’80s action heroes into the jungle. Awful Arnie impersonations, lots of talk about how great a monster the predator is, and repeated attempts not to consider any of the terrible things done to the Predator by later entries in the franchise. Next week a look at one of those late...
0070: Equilibrium
August 27, 2018 10:00 - 56 minutes - 45.4 MBThis week our accidental dystopian double bill continues with Equilibrium!

July 31, 2018 14:00 - 54 minutes - 43.5 MBFor a 2nd year running we celebrate Bug Week with some GIANT ANTS. In a wide ranging episode we dissect the film itself, and also get into projection techniques, an in depth ant quiz, the wonder of a Victorian man in Hollywood and much, much more! Note: We had a bit of technical trouble whilst recording, so if Chris and Sam seem to be laughing for no reason its because Alex sounded like an alien trapped in a washing machine for much of the podcast. Luckily, his voice is super sweet and cl...
0065: Treasure Planet
July 23, 2018 11:00 - 54 minutes - 63.4 MBWe’re back from summer break and taking a look at Disney’s Treasure Planet, one of the final traditional hand-animated blockbusters from the mouse house, that flopped pretty badly, but is an entertaining (ish) ride.

July 04, 2018 10:00 - 47 minutes - 55.3 MBThis week we stick with comedy and a trip back to the late ’80s, where the clothes were baggy, the music was radical and the casual homophobia was a shock.

0059: Westworld
June 04, 2018 12:00 - 49 minutes - 57.5 MBWestworld is big news again thanks to the HBO series currently airing its 2nd season, but how well does the 1973 original hold up?
