Fighting On Film

Grab your Phasers, set a course and 'Make it So!'This week we chat about 1996's Star Trek: First Contact. The second film film of the Star Trek franchise which follows the adventures of the Next Generation Cast led by the late great Patrick Stewart. The Borg yet again threaten the universe and it's down to the plucky crew of the Enterprise to stop them. We commemorate the incredible career and sad passing of Sir Patrick Stewart with a look at what he himself described as his favourite Star Trek movie. From great turns by the cast to eye popping CGI, this ones a real treat... sorry (not really) for Matt and Rob's 'Deep trek lore'! ;)

This Halloween we cover 2018's 'Overlord' a body horror/zombie (kind of) WW2 hybrid. Set just before the Normandy landings a platoon from the 101st Airborne are on a mission to blow up a radio tower... but all is not as it seems... Join us this week for a Fighting On Film Halloween Special!

The Patreon Pick is back with our wonderful Supporting Cast choosing 1943's 'Guadalcanal Diary'! The film follows US Marines as they fight in the titular battle, based on the smash 1942 book of the same name. Featuring early roles for Anthony Quinn and Richard Jaeckel, 'Guadalcanal Diary' is a fascinating propaganda picture!
