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 shitty kid screaming outside, and chris' recording was inexplicably 20 minutes shorter than the rest so has had to be chopped back in, hopefully seamlessly! I blame the heat.Next week it's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome!See the new list!Play along at home!Get in touch!Visit the Website!Watch us on Youtube!See the old list!Download the soundtrack!Buy our Merch!And we're on Instagram and Facebook too!

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!

This week we take a trip back to the Riddickverse (one of many verses) and watch Chronicles of Riddick!

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!
