We are having a week off next week, as life finds a way to get in the way, but for now though we are diving into a ball pit of fun... No, sorry, no fun - the other one.

Rob is joined by Jonathan and Graham to talk about Eastern Block Sci-fi, and how misunderstood it is and that it's much more than the lazy stereotypes thrown its way. To discuss this, we talk about what is an all-timer for many a person - Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. From that we head into much less well known territory in the shape of Piotr Szulkin's O-Bi O-Ba: the End of Civilisation. And then, we end on the gift that keeps on giving - the inimitable Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea from Jindřich Polák.

I love these episodes as being in the presence of Graham and Jonathan is like a historical and cinematic education. But if you like it, please support us over on patreon for loads more goodies.
