Journey Through Sci-Fi: A Science Fiction Film Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

"Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow!"
We're diving head-first (literally) into the weird world of Frankenstein's legacy once again, with Re-Animator (1985) and Poor Things (2023). From glowing green serums to brain-swapping brilliance, we explore how both films rewire the Frankenstein formula mixing horror, humour, and the eternal question of whether a mad science creation can ever truly go 'right'.

To celebrate the upcoming Predator: Badlands and the big-screen re-release of Prey on November 5th (for a very limited cinema run) we're bringing one of our favourite Patreon episodes to the main feed.

In this bonus epsiode we revisit Prey (2022), and discuss how it re-energised the franchise, why it works as sci-fi horror, and where it fits in the Predator legacy.

🩸 Predator: Badlands lands Nov 7 — we'll be covering it exclusively on Patreon.

This week, we're diving into the visually stunning and mentally complex dream worlds of Inception (2010) and Paprika (2006).

Both films explore the boundaries between dreams and reality, challenging us to question what is real and what is merely a projection of the mind. Inception takes us through layered dreams with Christopher Nolan's signature style, while Paprika, a Japanese animated masterpiece, delves into the surreal and fantastical possibilities of dream manipulation.

Join us as we unravel these intricate narratives and discuss how these films blur the line between our waking life and the dream world.

This week, we're diving into the mind-bending, surreal worlds of Charlie Kaufman with Being John Malkovich (1999) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).

Both films explore the nature of identity, memory, and reality, but with Kaufman's signature twist—nothing is ever as it seems. Being John Malkovich takes us through a portal into someone else's consciousness, while Eternal Sunshine delves into the intricacies of erasing memories.

Join us as we unpack Kaufman's unique vision and discuss how these films challenge our perceptions of what's real.

This week, we're delving into the unsettling theme of controlled realities with two iconic films: The Truman Show (1998) and The Stepford Wives (1975).

The Truman Show presents a world where every aspect of one man's life is manipulated for entertainment, while The Stepford Wives explores a seemingly perfect town where the women are eerily compliant and disturbingly controlled.

Join us as we discuss the eerie implications of living in a world where reality is not what it seems.

This week, we're diving deep into the mind-bending worlds of Dark City (1998) and The Zero Theorem (2013), two films that make you seriously question your reality.

Dark City takes us through a noir world where nothing is as it seems, and The Zero Theorem challenges the very purpose of existence.

Both films force us to ask: What if everything we know is carefully constructed? Are we truly in control, or is our reality being manipulated by forces beyond our understanding?

This week, we've got a special guest—Mike Muncer from Evolution of Horror! We're diving into the terrifying side of virtual reality with The Lawnmower Man and The Cell. In these films, VR isn't just an escape—it's a doorway into madness.

The Lawnmower Man shows us what happens when technology and human psyche mix in the most horrifying ways, while The Cell takes us on a disturbing journey into the mind of a serial killer, where virtual reality blurs the line between sanity and insanity.

Are these just sci-fi horror stories, or is there a real danger in exploring our minds through VR?

Join us as we discuss the chilling connections between virtual reality, horror, and the descent into madness.
