| Face/Off | 22 Dec 2025 | 01:14:17 | |
This 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! Hosted on Acast.

| PREDATOR: BADLANDS SPOILERCAST! | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:39:27 | |
Alex 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Resident Evil | 07 Nov 2025 | 00:45:46 | |
This 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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home | 30 Oct 2025 | 01:05:07 | |
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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Explorers | 23 Oct 2025 | 00:41:57 | |
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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Robocop 3 | 26 Sep 2025 | 00:51:27 | |
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! Hosted on Acast.

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

Next week, it's Sam's birthday pick - 2025's version of War of the Worlds! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| 10 Cloverfield Lane | 21 Aug 2025 | 00:55:55 | |

| Mars Needs Moms | 01 Aug 2025 | 00:48:04 | |
This week we celebrate 350 episodes by watching Mars Needs Moms, an odd CGI kids film that no-one remembers! Join us as we discuss the godawful motion capture, the curse of Mars films, and because Sam feels bad about making us watch this, there's a Mars quiz, too. Here is the scene from Welcome to Marwen which inspired this episode And here is Ice Cube's awful-looking War of the World remake And we're on Instagram and Facebook too!

| Zathura | 17 Jul 2025 | 00:57:39 | |
This week we fill a long-time listener request (maybe?) and watch Zathura, the spiritual successor to Alex's favourite film of all time Jumanji - even if the director really doesn't want you to think that.. Join us as we discuss some fine mahogany, have a Jumanji-themed quiz, and Chris even gives us a quick review of Jurassic World: Rebirth. Also, Poppins rears its ugly head once more...but is it actually Questionable Content we're seeing here instead? Next week it's Mars Need Moms. Yup. And we're on Instagram and Facebook too!

| Independence Day: Resurgence (again) | 12 Jun 2025 | 00:58:32 | |
This week Will Smith Season finally concludes in calamitous circumstances with a film in which he doesn't actually act which we've reviewed before anyway. Oh well (FYIF), we spend 30 seconds discussing I, Robot, then realise we've messed up, but continue to complain about this film for an hour all over again. Unlikely rebuilds, unlikely invasions, unlikeable actors and a leading man who didn't bother watching the first film, it's all here! Next week, we retreat to safer territory - it's Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock! And we're on Instagram and Facebook too! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

Join us as we discuss high quality bad CGI, the concept of 'virtual actors', and what 3 things we would save on an asteroid. Also apologies for the audio quality on this one - Sam had some sort of insane crackle on the recording and some shitty kid screaming outside, and chris' recording was inexplicably 20 minutes shorter than the rest so has had to be chopped back in, hopefully seamlessly!

This week we 'celebrate' the release of Alex Garland's Civil War by looking back at Annihilation. Join us as we discuss the perils of adapting a story you don't actually know, whether Natalie Portman can actually act, and a strange bear. Next week, get your annoying steampunk tat at the ready - it's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! And we're on Instagram and Facebook too!
