Films & Filth

How many podcasts are going on about Picard? Probably quite a few. Still, here’s our fun-sized take on the first two episodes of the series. That’s only like 20% of the candy bar - and that’s all we’ve seen of this.

This is an oft forgotten, psychedelic colour blast of science fiction featuring some heavy hitters in the cast and some wild design. It is a good movie? That's up for debate, but it is undoubtedly an endlessly fascinating production. We get deep into that, as well as FX tips on how to turn a butt into a vampire.

Disney's first live action take on sci-fi is a strange one indeed. And who better to bring in to chat about it than Andrew Shearer, director of "Space Boobs in Space" and the ringleader of the Gonzoriffic Underground Film Collective. He also happened to live across the street from Matt when they were kids. If you search for Gonzoriffic, it'll send you in the right direction, but here's how to open a portal to their Instagram:

We’re digging the film, but let’s be real, we’re going for the jugular of the comic book mythos. Still, Luke was blindsided by the quality of the DC Animated Universe, and Matt thinks there is nothing better than RoboCop voicing Batman.

But the real reason we had to get to Batman was so that we could show Luke’s past attempt to actually be Batman.

Matt and Luke get deep into the underpinnings of this very slow, but

transcendental sci-fi classic by Stanley Kubrick. Do we let Dave in the pod

doors, or just spin Pink Floyd on vinyl? Listen and learn.

Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your

pals.

It’s the big daddy of the (non-Japanese) monster movies and Luke has been chomping at the bit to chat about it. Meanwhile, Matt watched it long ago in film school. Hear us beat our chests at the gates of Skull Island!!!

Matt thinks this is not only a solid sci-fi, but one of the best (defacto) Trek films. Luke thought this was just a comedy to quote, but now he's looking at geek fan culture then and now. Could you make this movie today?

Oh Star Wars,

Nothing but Star Wars,

Give me those Star Wars,

Don't let them end.

Oh Star Wars,

If they should bar wars,

Please let these Star Wars

Stay.

Star Wars Month Continues! We’re gonna get controversial in this one because we’re getting properly stuck into Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Guess what: we bloody love it!

Okay, we covered a shit film for Star Wars month but now we’re getting stuck into some legit, canonical, George Lucas Star Wars. This should be good, right? Right?

We’re having a bit of a Star Wars month here in the Sci-Fi Sanctuary, preparing ourselves for the end of the saga when the Rise of Skywalker hits us at the end of the month. For now we’re . . . enjoying? . . . the most seasonal of the Star Wars films.
