November 10, 2020 Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (w/ Scott Atkinson)
It's the Trek film so bad it's been effectively booted out of canon. But is it really that bad? Once we did our best to get past William Shatner's admittedly entertaining ego, we had a rollicking time and got into those deep questions about if we "need our pain," and "What does God need with a starship?"
Joining us for the ride is Scott Atkinson, who you hear every week anyway on our intro. For more of his groove, check out this week's tunes from one of the many albums he's worked on with Matt: https://rovingsagemedia.bandcamp.com/album/atlantean-vibrational-sound
Luke is getting back into talking about those larger monsters, and you will want to hear him here - especially if you are into Monster Hunter:

November 03, 2020 Terminator 2: Judgement Day
A year ago we watched Dark Fate, had a chat, and said we'd get back to it and T2 in a year's time. We stand by our word, homeslices. And here we are with T2 and the next major bullet point in our ongoing cavalcade of Arnold.

October 27, 2020 The Thing (w/ Henrique Couto)
Here's the Thing. Like, literally - we're talking about the Thing. Y'know - for our spooky October. Luke has always seen it as a seminal sci-fi/horror, while Matt had been afraid to watch it, but now he loves it.
Then there is Henrique Couto - director of spooky movies and narrator of spooky podcasts. He's got a fair amount to say about "The Thing," and if you need more, go here: http://hen.storenvy.com/

October 22, 2020 Preview! Monster Mash Episode 89
What’s this? Luke’s other podcast, Monster Mash, is making its triumphant return?
This is the comeback episode of Monster Mash, a podcast about the monsters from the Monster Hunter videogames. The podcast disappeared when Luke moved to Japan but it is back!
It’s been slightly over two years but, energised by the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise we are podcasting about Hunting monsters again!This is a catch-up with the boys, their thoughts on Monster Hunter World two and a half years on and their speculations about the upcoming games and movie. Starting from next week, we’re picking right back up where we left off with a podcast about the Zorah Magdaros.

October 20, 2020 Re-Animator (w/ Andrew Shearer)
The Sci-fi Sanctuary is getting a couple weeks spooky for this Octoberfest starting with "Re-Animator."
The Webster's Dictionary defines "re-animate" as to animate again. At least I assume it does - gI didn't actually check or anything. Also, Jeffery Combs.
And Andrew Shearer. He basically replaces Luke in this one since Luke was busy trying to become bonafide in a Japanese gym when we recorded this. Anyway, Andrew likes this one enough to have commissioned a script read of it with an all-female cast for his birthday a few years ago. Here is that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFnYDHMxe3I

October 13, 2020 The Fountain (w/ Von Galt)
We've got a metaphysical, Hugh Jackman-sized puzzle box this week for you to solve with your interdimensional mind. All that, and some ruminations on Buddhism to get your thunker thinking - or better yet, not thinking.
Today, we will talk about the iconic movie, "The Fountain", with Buddhist author, Von Galt. Von's recently released book, "Buddhist Mandalas: Explore Parallel Realities with Sacred Geometry" goes over the science behind everyone's energy field, which she calls your "Merkabah" and how everyone is a soul having a human experience according to her research. We will discuss these spiritual concepts touched on in the movie, "The Fountain" with Von: What is a merkabah that souls have? What is the Eternal Game of Samsara, the Wheel of Dharma, Enso Gamers, and Nirvana?
For more information on Von's work: MerkabaChakras.com

October 06, 2020 In Time (w/ Ricky Varandas)
Gettin' your sexyback with JT in this high-concept sci-fi set in a dystopian world where everyone's time to live is literally ticking down own their forearms. Luckly, Matt, Luke, and guest Ricky had plenty of time to get into the details of this one. Especially the classic car details.
Ricky Varandas is the host of the Ripple Effect podcast, which features long-form conversations with social, political, and cultural minds of all persuasions. His handle everywhere social media-wise is rvtheory6, or you can head over to his site:

September 29, 2020 Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (w/ Sue and Sarah from Women at Warp)
Wrapping up 80's sci-fi/comedy month with a film that is, of course, a full-on genre sci-fi that manages to deftly jump into those comedy waters. Yes, it is the Star Trek that bonk bonks you on the head about the whales and treats you to some colourful metaphors. Joining us for this romp is an away team from the fantastic Star Trek podcast Women at Warp. They take a look at Star Trek from a multitude of angles with a feminist perspective, and it is fantastic listening for all. Here is their Starbase: https://www.womenatwarp.com/

September 23, 2020 Bill and Ted Face the Music
Checking back in with Bill and Ted after a 30 year break. Guess they need to finally write that world unifying song... or do they? We're rolling along with an honest-to-Zeus sequel returning us to this excellent world.

September 22, 2020 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey
As our 80's comedy sci-fi month continues, Matt and Luke get deep behind the zen philosophy of Bill and Ted with this dive into their first few films. That, and we make jokes of questionable taste which may or may not be funny (why not comment and review!). And yes - we will be following up with the new one in the soon-soon.
