The Great Derelict – Details, episodes & analysis

+++SPOILER WARNING REPEAT SPOILER WARNING+++
In a special bonus episode (read between the lines - Lee wanted to rant to someone other than his long suffering family) - Andy is joined by Darren and Lee to discuss the latest entry into the Alien franchise Alien: Romulus. 

Will it wash out the foul taste of Alien Covenant from their mouths or will it drive the franchise further into the depths of convoluted lore and nonsense that has plagued the series past few entries?

Who can say. you'll just have to take a listen I guess...

For those of you who do not want spoilers but would like a brief review, there is a spoiler free section for the first 17 mins of the cast and the spoiler section is clearly marked by the appearance of MU-TH-UR 9000 giving you ample time to get to minimum safe distance. 

Personally I'd advise you see the film first before listening.

Welcome back to the Great Derelict!

This week in the run up to halloween Andy is joined by the master of the macabre Mr Jim Moon to discuss Alien invasion as a trope throughout the history of Sci-fi and why it has resonated and been presented as a horror trope more so than encountering Aliens out in Space, and how the sub-genre has evolved through time.

This week Andy is joined by Eli Ramos to look back at Science Fiction from the past, and its views on the future.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…

STAR WARS

Episode 13 - The Nature of the Jedi

PODCAST! This week ANDY is joined by KERA 

As they take a look at the warrior monks of the 

galaxy the JEDI!

We wonder if its safe to have force users who can

bring IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYERS crashing to 

the ground walking around without training,

if they really are a force force good in the galaxy and

was PALPATINE doing the galaxy a favour by 

orchestrating their downfall…
