Highway To Mars

Jackie Chan and Jet Li is one of the dream matchups in martial arts movies. Forbidden Kingdom is an iconic story, worthy of these two giants, not so sure about the addition of a karate kid style extra but lets be honest, when Jackie and Jet are in full swing, who notices the rest. As […]

Fast 6 is Bitchin’. Not exactly a clever story but it does have a heart, the set pieces are fun and the fighting is refreshingly real. Scary but short of Iron Man, this might be one of the movies I most enjoyed for the year.

An additional irregular episode where we talk about subjects in and around science fiction. Kiarra shared some of her experiences being a teenager and provided some definite food for thought on how we see where young people are at, their challenges and how they see their hero’s and influences. The genesis of this discussion was […]

Special guest Simon Meddings joins us to decode english culture for Shaun of the Dead. I am never riding a bus or attending a pub in england after this.

Phoenix and I have been watching the TV series Arrow and are somewhat surprised to be loving it. We both thoroughly recommend the show, here is a quick round up and impression of the characters.

A Highway to Mars special that nobody was demanding but we did it anyway. In 2003 a couple of enterprising Aussie filmakers Michael and Peter Spierig made a clever but not exactly brilliantly dialogued Zombie Sci-fi movie called Undead. So in order to shine a light on the movie we watched it together to share […]

So here we are… end of the season already. Not sure I like these shorter seasons but hey it ended with a bang!

Jackie F****** Chan as Kiarra would say. This episode we review the Jackie Chan movie Who Am I, Kiarra offers to teach Jaden Smith Martial Arts and we run out of cows to cover Kiarra’s potty mouth.

More value than ever from highway to mars. Kiarra hands out relationships advice to some fictional characters who clearly need it and the Doctor Who fans are getting on my nerves. Having said that enjoying who for the first time in a long time, can’t wait for 50th.

We went to see Star Trek Into Darkness, enjoyed the movie but there is something about this star trek series that doesn’t quite sit right with me.

This week we skip a Dr Who episode to do spoiler free discussions of the movies Oblivion and Iron Man 3.

Normal Service is resumed. Our Audience is safe this week as Odile restores order with Sharon McGuiness as we discuss one of the best post apocalyptic stories ever. Wyndham got killer plants spot on, something that really hasn’t been repeated since. This is a scary and thought provoking story.

At the risk of offending the 2 fans we have left, I let kiarra loose on Dr Who and well she excelled, insulting fan boys, taking pot shots at the tardis and of course once more getting us an explicit tag. She tells me it’s a phase but its only just started so she wants […]

What can I say, it’s the fifth element. One of the most fun movies in science fiction and one of our favourites. Joined once again by Kiarra, who can’t stop wiggling and knocking the table thus next podcast we are getting a mic stand upgrade.

There will be a normal episode next week, either Day of the Triffids or The Fifth Element. This week a minisode on Dr Who The Cold War. Loved this episode, it wasn’t the best ever but after a spate of episodes that haven’t really done it for me, this one was good writing for the […]

Last year we recorded a set of minisodes for Doctor Who where we talked about the latest episode just after it came out well why not everyone else does.

A little later than planned due to easter but Kiarra joined me for a romp through the awesome zombie movie, Zombieland. Kiarra is going to do a regular with me and we might even do a bunch of Zombie movies, including Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days.

This episode Odile takes the chair once more and is joined by Jim Moon and Stefan to talk the Midwich Cuckoos. This was a three in one episode because we cover the book and two movies the best of which is the 1960s version, The Village of the Damned.
