With the world around us on its knees and political leaders meeting to try and figure out how to address the growing climate crisis, it seems only fitting to cover 90s message piece, FernGully. Or more accurately, it's deeply inferior successor: FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue.

Time to nut up or sequel up, as we take a trip to Zombieland. The original captured the zeitgeist back in 2009, but after a 10 year wait for a sequel, we were left with more of a bloated corpse than a lean, mean brain-eating machine. Can we salvage this undead duology, or is it time for a bullet to the head?

This week, we're taking a trip through time and space and ending up in Brussels, as we tackle the sequel to a Jean-Claude Van Damme... classic? We take a look at the schlocky pleasures of the first film, examine how the ambitions of the direct-to-DVD sequel are hampered by its tiny budget, and try to pitch a fix without exploding in a shower of paradox goo.

Regular season content resumes and we're tackling not only one of the biggest names in 80s action but one of the biggest tonal shifts from film one to film two.

Over the last year and a half many of us have felt trapped in a single place, so it feels only fitting that we discuss chamber pieces - movies featuring a small cast set in a limited set of locations. Be prepared for a lot of debating if certain titles count and some truly miserable recommendations.

They say the truth is stranger than fiction, but is it better? This week, we're taking a look at films that are based on real-life events and people. How do filmmakers balance the demands of a satisfying narrative with the need to reflect actual reality, and who decides what stories from history get told anyway?

This week we will be tackling (no pun intended) the wide world of sports and how they are represented on film.

As is traditional, we're kicking off our inter-season with a Sequel We'd Like To See, and this time we've picked the least-likely-to-be-made option so far: a sequel to 2012's massive box office bomb John Carter. We dissect what went wrong with Andrew Stanton's adaptation of this foundational sci-fi hero, and explore what we'd like to see in a possible sequel. Now, does anyone have $300m laying around they're not using?

We woke up in a small dark room, strapped into a machine, then a message from one of our executive producers explained to us that we need to fix the Saw franchise. Specifically Saw III.
