| 164. Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones (2002) | 11 Aug 2026 | 01:04:52 | |
This week, we review Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), George Lucas's epic space opera sci-fi adventure set in the heart of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and Natalie Portman star as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padmé Amidala in a story that explores forbidden love, political betrayal, and the galaxy's descent into all-out war. With a secret clone army, a sinister separatist movement led by Christopher Lee's Count Dooku, and a young Jedi sliding dangerously toward the dark side, this film raises intriguing questions about whether destiny is written in the stars — or forged by our own choices. Is the Force strong with this one, or does the chemistry fall flatter than Kamino's ocean floor? Listen on to find out!

| 163. Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace (1999) | 04 Aug 2026 | 01:14:53 | |
This week, we review Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), George Lucas's long-awaited return to the director's chair and the epic sci-fi space opera prequel that launched the Skywalker Saga's origin story. Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor star as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi in a story that explores destiny, political corruption, and the seductive pull of the dark side. With a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker caught at the centre of a galactic trade dispute — and the mysterious Sith emerging from the shadows — this film raises intriguing questions about whether chosen ones are born or made. Is the Force strong with this one, or is it all just midi-chlorian nonsense? Listen on to find out!

| 154. Rubber (2010) | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:32:57 | |
This week, we review Rubber (2010), Quentin Dupieux’s absurdist horror-comedy that blends surreal satire with low-budget creature-feature chaos. Jack Plotnick, Roxane Mesquida, and Wings Hauser star in a story that explores voyeurism, randomness, and the strange relationship between audience and spectacle. When a mysterious sentient tire named Robert discovers it has deadly telekinetic powers, it embarks on a bizarre killing spree across the California desert—while a group of onlookers watches the carnage unfold from afar. With its self-aware humor and delightfully ridiculous premise, this film raises intriguing questions about why we watch movies at all. Is killer rubber totally random or strangely profound?

This week, we review Super Mario Bros. (1993), Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel’s wildly offbeat sci-fi adventure based (very loosely) on the beloved Nintendo video game.

With de-evolution guns, fungus-based tech, and a plot that veers as far from the Mushroom Kingdom as possible, this film reimagines the game’s bright, bouncy world into a gritty cyberpunk nightmare. Is plumbing the multiverse a pipe dream or just a clogged mess? Listen on to find out!

With its stark realism and documentary style, it immerses you in the terrifying aftermath of societal collapse. Is survival a matter of preparation… or pure chance? Listen on to find out!
