Things to Come
Ep. 320
•
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 :\
And we're on Instagram and Facebook too!

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
48:51||Ep. 315This 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!314.
