Time Travel is Dangerous Extra Super Special Show
Ep. 336
•
We return to finally talk about Time Travel is Dangerous, a new sci-fi comedy directed by our very own Chris Reading! A podcast in the making as long as there's been a podcast, join us as Chris talks us through the inspiration behind the film, how it all came together, and what's next. Also, go and see it, it's great! Critics who aren't Sam and Alex have said it's a 'hilarious British time-travel comedy', 'An endearing, surreal and funny portrait of friendship lasting across time.', and lots of other lovely stuff.
Time Travel is Dangerous is in cinemas from March 28th, nationwide!
Also, if you're in or around London there are a few tickets left for the gala screening in Muswell Hill on 27th March. Why not pop on down - you might even get to meet your favourite podcast hosts!*
*Assuming your favourite podcast hosts are in fact us. And obviously that's the case.
Next week, we return to proper rankings with John Carpenter's The Thing!

363. Dune: Part One
01:03:34||Ep. 363This week we kick off our 2021 season with big-hitter Dune! Join us as we luxuriate in the craft and restraint of one of the modern world's few 'serious' sci-fi films, Sam forgets we aren't a vodcast (yet) and try our best to avoid annoying Duneheads.Next week, it's Chris' pick - The Tomorrow War!
362. End of Year 2025 But Actually It's February 2026
36:32||Ep. 362Join us as we stumble into the new year, late but with good intentions! We wrap up our highlights (and lowlights) of the previous year and look ahead to what's coming up on the podcast in 2026.(Apologies for the audio on this one, can confirm whatever the flip went wrong with Sam's mic has been fixed for the next two episodes!)Next week, we start our 2021 season with big hitter Dune: Part One!
361. Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
01:10:13||Ep. 361Hello there! We're back, after a long, long absence for actual boring IRL reasons, but, much like ol' Sheev himself, somehow we returned! Join us for a latest christmas slice of Star Wars, as we slog through the confusing mess that is Rise of Skywalker. Join us next week for a belated end of year round-up!
360. Face/Off
01:14:17||Ep. 360This week starts with a message from Sam about what's going on with your favourite podcast - essentially, don't panic, we will return in 2026! Instead of our normal Christmas film, we celebrate the festive period watching Nicolas Cage and John Travolta go absolutely bananas in John Woo's Face/Off. Join us as we discuss the plausibility of assuming someone's identity, we pitch Jurassic Face/Off and Menage a Face, and Sam has a terrible cold but has hopefully cut out most of his snuffling, sorry if he hasn't.Next year, we'll be back with Star Wars IX: Rise of Skywalker. Thanks for listening through 2025, join us next year for more sci-fi fun!
359. PREDATOR: BADLANDS SPOILERCAST!
39:27||Ep. 359Alex and Sam have seen Predator: Badlands and they're here to spoil it for you! Join us to find out what we thought about this new direction for the franchise, the crossover with another franchise, and we find out we've been saying Yautja wrong all along. Which is sad, because we say it better.Next episode will be Face/Off at some point in the future when Chris is back from his hols.
358. Resident Evil
45:46||Ep. 358This 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!
357. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
01:05:07||Ep. 357This 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!
356. Explorers
41:57||Ep. 356This 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.
355. Robocop 3
51:27||Ep. 355Chris 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!
