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!

This week we belatedly celebrate Alex's birthday by watching Daft Punk's animated epic Interstella 5555.

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.
