Cinema Classics Number 15 - "We'll have to bypass Watford. The place is full of Daleks."

This week, it's exterminate! meets cinematechnique as Silver Screen Cinema Classics teams up with sister show Hit or Miss: Doctor Who for a one-time-only crossover that's bigger, louder, and more British than ever before! Join Mike, DK, and returning guest Will Templar as they journey back in time for the Technicolor mayhem of Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D., the second (and final) big-screen adventure featuring Peter Cushing’s eccentric, grandfatherly Dr. Who. But don't expect much timey-wimey tinkering — the team’s casting a cinematic eye over this lavish (by BBC standards) adaptation of the classic TV serial, and they're not pulling any punches. From the eye-popping return of the colourful, chunky, and shoutier-than-ever movie Daleks to the dystopian breakfast endorsement of Sugar Puffs, this sequel doesn’t skimp on spectacle — or shameless product placement. There’s plenty to dissect in how the film diverges from its small-screen source material, with tighter pacing, broader humour, and explosions dialled up to eleven. The gang dives into the oddly divergent tones starting with the curious case of Tom, the comic-relief copper whose Roboman clown act proves divisive to say the least. Meanwhile, genre stalwart Philip Madoc makes a memorably grim exit, gunned down by Daleks in one of the film’s starkest and most cinematically striking sequences. All the while, poor Peter Cushing finds himself strangely sidelined, with his kindly human Doctor taking something of a backseat in a story that feels more ensemble than star vehicle. Naturally, comparisons to the first Cushing film are inevitable — and thoroughly explored. Is this camp classic a cinematic regeneration worth remembering, or did the Daleks’ big-screen dreams fall into the core of the Earth? Grab your anti-Dalek bombs, stock up from the Roboman food dispenser, and join us as we head to a 2150 that looks curiously like 1966.

"See, with everything else, Susie, there's always an answer to be found, if you only dig deep enough."

Series 1, Episode 6 - "If he did find Dorabella she's in for one heck of a shock..."

Brace yourselves, Earthlings—it’s another Dalek-themed detour in our Whoniversal road trip! This week on Hit or Miss: Doctor Who, D.K. is off on a secret mission (possibly involving Scottish robots and Churchill), but fear not! Captain Mike is back in the host’s chair and he's brought backup. Making his triumphant return is friend of the show and Who Gameshow overlord Will Templar, who once again rolls the dice (metaphorically—we didn’t bring Monopoly Daleks). And joining the podcast for the very first time, all the way from their award-worthy appearances on Silver Screen Podcast, it’s the ultimate entertainment power couple—Michael Whaley and Rune! They might be new to Hit or Miss, but they’ve got enough charisma to fill a Dalek mothership. We kick things off with the usual Whovian origin stories—how our guests fell into the time vortex of fandom—and then hop into a Nu-Who-heavy Hit or Miss segment featuring an impossible girl, a twisty Dalek plot or two and one seriously weird hybrid creature. Then it’s full steam ahead into our main review: the often-divisive Eleventh Doctor tale, "Victory of the Daleks." Is it a bold reimagining or a tea-fuelled travesty? Are those WWII Daleks a charming callback or cheesy clunkers? And do the New Paradigm Daleks really look like intergalactic pepper pots crossed with Power Rangers? All that and more in this rollicking new episode. Spoilers and jammy dodgers guaranteed.

"Is there a Dalek somewhere making human dicks?"

Episode 110 - "Can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you, when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is?"

Welcome back, to a mind-bending, futuristic episode of Silver Screen Podcast. We’re activating our thermoptic camouflage and diving deep into the cybernetic world of 'Ghost in the Shell'! Join host Michael Wilson and returning guests Tobi and Sandy as they plug into Mamoru Oshii’s seminal anime masterpiece—no hacking required. From Major Kusanagi’s existential musings to the eerie manipulations of the Puppet Master, we’re peeling back the layers of this cyberpunk classic faster than a cyborg ripping off its own arm. We’ll be discussing the film’s stunning animation, philosophical depth, and the sheer influence it’s had on Hollywood’s biggest sci-fi blockbusters. Is 'Ghost in the Shell' still ahead of its time, or has the real world finally caught up to its vision of a hyper-connected future? So jack into the net, fire up your cyberbrain, and let’s get into it—no hacking skills required. Whether you’re a seasoned Section 9 operative or just dipping your toes into the digital sea, we’ve got you covered. Just don’t let the Puppet Master rewrite your memories, and if you see a naked person mysteriously fading into thin air… well, that’s probably normal.

"When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child. Now that I am a man, I have no more use for childish ways."

Episode 49 - "Indiana Jones. I always knew one day you'd come walking back through my door." We're back with another timely review. We conclude our (semi)-regular series (don't worry, we won't be gone long) with a review of the very first Indiana Jones movie, as we all prepare to dial into destiny in cinemas. Mike and D.K are joined by former Trek guest, our very own Sallah Mr. Steven "Browny" Brown. The trio will discuss whether 'The Big Bang Theory' is right that Indy has no bearing on the plot, dive into the controversy surrounding Marion's age, discuss James Bond comparisons, D.K's obsession with 'Young Indiana Jones', usage of religious iconography, brief comparisons to other entries in the franchise, the inspiration for 'Allo 'Allo, screwball comedy romantic chemistry and more. There's debate about which is the best of Harrison Ford's iconic roles, the best and worst Indiana Jones knock-offs, unconvincing background fighting and an attempt to settle once and for all which is the best film between this and 'Last Crusade'. Phew! All of that plus audience thoughts and our final conclusions and scores. Don't get caught digging in the wrong place for your Indy fix, join us here and listen to the thoughts of top... men (and Mike). Music by Timeless Journey.
