Fuds On Film

No planet has proved more fascinating to science fiction than Mars, so we thought it high time to look at some of the prime examples of Martian culture. We're blabbing about Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Total Recall, Mission to Mars, Red Planet, Doom, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, and The Martian. It's out of this world! And on a different world. That world being Mars. Naturally. I'm sure you figured that out.

This month’s assortment of recent releases for the cinema and the home sees us cover Gods of Egypt, The Legend of Tarzan, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, and Green Room. Four films enter. One film leaves. That makes three films still inside. That is the maximum occupancy of this Thunderdome. We’re on a budget.

We're looking at political satire this month, as current Brexit-based events are so resplendently ludicrous that we now seem to have moved entirely beyond satire, rendering it redundant. Not that we're bitter, or incandescently angry. Also, with the much delayed Chilcot Report into the U.K.'s role in the Iraq War rearing its head on the day we record this, we thought we'd look at an American and British take on manipulating a war for political gains with 1997's Wag the Dog and 2009's In the Loop.

In this exciting episode, current events compel us to compare two political satires about dodgy dealings in the march to war with Wag The Dog and In The Loop. Just how do the Yanks and the Limeys deal with comedies about such a delicate subject? Join us and find out!
