This week, we come as close as we've ever been to doing a halloween episode actually on halloween, arriving barely a week late with Resident Evil. Join us as we discuss how similar (or not) this is to the game it's based on, the absolutely complete lack of logic in pretty much every aspect of this film's plot, and Colin Salmon.Next week, it's Face/Off!

This week, we find yet another excuse to watch Star Trek, as Chris' film Time Travel is Dangerous has now hit streaming platforms across the UK, and will soon be available in the US! To celebrate we watch another time-travel comedy, its The Voyage Home! Completing our Proper Episode rewatch of the Khan trilogy, join us as we discuss Bird of Prey schematics (obvs), unnecessary aquariums, the crew's questionable hygiene, and - for probably the 100th time - marvel at the comedy genius of Scotty at the aluminium factory.Next week, we come the closest yet to actually watching a horror film for halloween, only missing it by 6 days - it's Resident Evil!

This week Chris uses AI to try and solve the mystery of a long-forgotten childhood film, and predictably AI gets it wrong. No matter, we watch Explorers anyway, a black hole in our collective nostalgia knowledge, in which Ethan Hawke, River Phoenix and some other guy make their film debuts, spend a long time building a spaceship, and then make first contact in the least climactic way possible.Next week, we finally watch Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home to celebrate Time Travel is Dangerous hitting streaming platforms.

Chris returns to the pod in time to watch Robocop 3! Join us as we try and work out which bits of the plot aren't in the earlier films, discuss casting via waist measurement, and promise that there are better films on the horizon.Maybe next week's Explorers is one of them? Tune in to find out!Also, go to Time Travel is Dangerous at the Ally Pally! Listen to find out how to get a free beer!

We're still a man down as we Sam takes advantage of Birthday Pick Rules to watch the recently released War of the Worlds. Join us as we marvel at this most glorious of train wrecks. Ice Cube 'acting', data-eating aliens, the word 'cyber' - JOIN THE REBELLION.Join us soon for Robocop 3 when Chris comes back from wherever he's gone!

This week we belatedly celebrate Alex's birthday by watching Daft Punk's animated epic Interstella 5555. Join us for one of the most inscrutable quizzes Alex has ever made, and  lwe try and fail to convince Chris this is worth his time, contend with an unprecedented mid-episode host exit, and then Alex and Sam continue to geek out about this strange and beautiful thing...Matsumoto's waterbusNext week, it's Sam's birthday pick - 2025's version of War of the Worlds!

This week we watch and talk about 10 Cloverfield Lane, but also discuss Chris' plans for the apocalypse (again), favourite prepper tinned foods, the 'looseness' of this whole Cloverfield concept, and even find time for Sam's thoughts on Superman (2025) and Jurassic World: Rebirth. Next week, it's Alex's birthday pick - Interstella 5555!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! 

This week we celebrate 350 episodes by watching Mars Needs Moms, an odd CGI kids film that no-one remembers!
