This week, we watch Ikarie XB-1, a film that is 'influential', or maybe actually influential, it's hard to tell! Join us as we discuss the reach of this film, enjoy people laughing at a robot, and get our vertical integration sorted, just in time for the debut of Chris' film. Next week (or some point soon anyway) we're watching Lifeforce! I think...? See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website! Watch us on Youtube! See the old list!

This week, it's a bumper episode as we accept the podcast will NEVER END by watching the 'final' film, Blade Runner! Join us as we learn about Chrismas, deep dive into different versions of the film, Sam can't shut up about Vangelis, we gush over the production design, and Sam really can't shut up about Vangelis. Next week, we watch '60s Czech sci-fi oddity Ikarie XB-1 See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website! Watch us on Youtube! See the old list! Download the...

Hi! Remember us? After a month off, we're back! We accidentally deleted an episode and we're doing the films in the wrong order, but we're here! This week, It's Chris' birthday pick, our 2nd, 3rd, 4th viewing of the Devlin/Emmerich career highlight. Join us as we hear about Chris' holiday to Washington, consider shift patterns aboard motherships, and discuss (probably not for the first time) how aliens having a Firewire port is still the most ridiculous thing about this film. Next week, it's...

Alien fever continues as we watch the second AvP film. Chris hosts as we try and see what's going on, the problem with Detective Predator, muppet aliens, and then all hell breaks loose as we get to the rating in a way it hasn't in a long time. Alien Vs. Predator? More like Alex Vs. Sam. Also, secrets of the rating system are revealed! Next week, it's Wing Commander only it kind of isn't...you'll see... See the new list! Play along at home!

This week we review the latest instalment in the Alien franchise - it's Alien Romulus! Alex shares his experience of his trip to the premiere, Sam gets to enjoy some free beer, and Chris sent us some texts. Join us for a spoiler-free discussion until 17:55 and after that we go hard and heavy with a spoiler-filled breakdown of our thoughts on the film.

This week we go all the way back to 1936 to watch a slice of very early British sci-fi, it's Things to Come! Join us as we revel in the bombast of the script, marvel at the special effects, and discover how moaning is eternal. Next week, we 'celebrate' the release of Alien: Romulus by watching AVPR: Alien Vs. Predator Requiem - it's literally the only Alien thing we have left to watch :\ See the new list!

This week we watch Kevin Costner's big budget post-apocalyptic flop Waterw- no, the other one, The Postman.

This week we belatedly celebrate the release of Furiosa with the last Mad Max we can watch for now. Join us as we head back to post-apocalyptic Australia, discuss some super deep lore, play a game of Max or Martin, and marvel at how terribly this film craters halfway through. Sam's audio is a mess again, but will be better from next week, so that's good! And next week will be Invasions of the Body Snatchers (1978) See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website! Watch us...

This week we watch Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, a film so monumentally misguided that it managed to kill an entire company. Join us as we discuss high quality bad CGI, the concept of 'virtual actors', and what 3 things we would save on an asteroid. Also apologies for the audio quality on this one - Sam had some sort of insane crackle on the recording and some s****y kid screaming outside, and chris' recording was inexplicably 20 minutes shorter than the rest so has had to be chopped...

It's a bumper episode as we head back to a galaxy far, far away, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Episode I. Join us for a predictably in-depth discussion of the making of the film, how our opinion of the film has changed over a quarter of a century, what a genuine child thinks about the film, and much more! Here is Jenny Nicholson's incredible 4-hour Galactic Starcruiser video which Sam mentions at some point Next week it's Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within! See the new list! Play...

We return to discuss Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! But first, Alex makes the executive decision to discuss other films, so we briefly discuss Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Furiosa, Atlas, and You Can Call Me Bill. Then we sadly have to watch the film we're here to see. And it ain't great. But at least it's a good excuse for Alex to tell his story about his copy of Horton Hears A Who... Here are the far superior cutscenes from Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2 Next week, prepare for a...

This week we take a trip back to the Riddickverse (one of many verses) and watch Chronicles of Riddick! Join us as we marvel at two films existing at once, chart the rise and fall and rise of Vin Diesel, chat a lot about mongers monging, and alienate anyone who likes metal. Sorry. Next week, it's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, which we said last time, but it genuinely is this time! See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website!

This week we 'celebrate' the release of Alex Garland's Civil War by looking back at Annihilation. Join us as we discuss the perils of adapting a story you don't actually know, whether Natalie Portman can actually act, and a strange bear.

Accidental post-apocalypse/Fallout season with Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. But first, Alex has a random newsblast? Join us as we take our usual detour into mourning the death of practical effects, ponder if this film invented the post apocalypse, and generally just enjoy a well-made film. We watch them occasionally. (When Sam keeps saying 'The man with no name' he means A Fistful of Dollars, obvs.) Next week, it's Annihilation! See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch!

This week, Alex picks his birthday film - it's Albert Pyun's Cyborg! Join us as we discuss JCVD's career, butcher's shops in the USA, double TKOs, missing contact lenses, and a quiz which, let's be honest here, Sam absolutely aces.

This week we watch Ghostbusters II, except Chris who got the wrong film. But first, we have a little bonus spoilercast about Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which unlocks a classic Chris Rant­. And then we watch the main feature, discussing the impact of The Real Ghostbusters, what you want from a sequel, the bad vibes that come from good vibes, and I think our third passionate defence of Peter Venkman. Next week, it's Alex's birthday pick, Cyborg! See the new list! Play along at home! Get in...

This week, we take our annual trip to the world of Star Trek. Having watched all the original ten films, it's time to follow a very old Spock through a black hole and join the Kelvin timeline. Join us as we discuss rebooting franchises, a terrible bad guy, fate vs. logic. and the perils of stunt-casting unfunny comedians. Next week, we celebrate (?) Ghostbusters being back in cinemas by watching Ghostbusters II! See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website! Watch us...

This week, we continue the modern Planet of the Apes franchise seven years (!) after watching the first instalment. Join us as we marvel at the CG, complain about everything else, get into a very, very long discussion about post-apocalyptic survival (yet again) and we learn that Chris is prepared to play any game, no matter the game. Game on. Note for Sam's brain: You are confusing Jason Clarke with Jai Courtney because they are both charisma vacuums and were both in Terminator: Genisys! Next...

This week, Chris and Sam spoiler their way through the latest Denis Villeneuve sci-fi blockbuster, Dune: Part Two at Alex, who hasn't seen it yet. But first, Austin Butler's face, a mini spoilercast of Priscilla, Agent Elvis and a lot of other stuff that is absolutely definitely related to the film in question. And there's a Dune quiz! WARNING: Spoilers for Dune: Part Two and the other Frank Herbert Dune books Next week, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes! See the new list! Play along at...

This week, we add three old films to the new list in another Re-Ranking special! Join us as we apply PROPER SCIENCE to Dune, Predator, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

We're back! And we return with a classic of our childhoods, the grammatically troubling Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Join us as we discuss the superb practical effects, sense memories of Oreos, and we have possibly our 2nd Ant-based quiz. Next week, we re-rank a bunch of films! See the new list! Play along at home!
