For the second week in a row Fiona and Elroy climb into Zak's bell tower, high above the Palace Westgarth cinema in Northcote. Amidst the wafting smell of popcorn and an assortment of mystery crates the team discuss Final Destination 5, Zak give us a preview of Contamination, and Elroy finally finds the time to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The discussion topic for this week, inspired by Fiona's Final Destination 5 viewing, is Memorial Movie Deaths.

Matt's workload on the latest hollywood blockbuster has taken it's toll and he's had to step away from the Remote Viewing mic for a couple of weeks, so filling in this week we welcome back Zak and his movie filled brain. Elroy and Fiona finally get to discuss their opposing views on Cowboys and Aliens. Fiona and Zak chat about Horrible Bosses! And this week's discussion topic is Misunderstood Villains: When the villain actually has the right idea!

After taking last week off we decided to change the format of this episode: We dropped the usual discussion topic segment and extended the 'watched list' discussion across the first two chapters of the podcast. Fiona made her way to a preview screening of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, she also watched Bad Teacher, Submarine and Captain America. Elroy also watched The First Avenger, then watched one of Captain America Director Joe Johnston's early efforts: The Rocketeer… and then - to continue the Nazi themed movies - watched Raiders of the Lost Ark.

This week our discussion topic is the childbirth scene from the brilliant 2006 film Children of Men - Elroy and Fiona grill Matt on his understanding of some of the stunning effects work that went into making a scene that most viewers aren't even aware contains any effects at all.

Fiona made it to the cinema to see Mr Popper's Penguins, and the latest (and last) Harry Potter film. Elroy went for another cult classic and watched Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris swap beatings in Way of the Dragon. Not to be out done Matt dug out the Van Damme flick Double

Impact.

NOTE: The team are taking next week off, so the next episode of Remote Viewing will be released in 2 weeks time.

The ripe old age of 21! To celebrate our 21st episode the team pretty much just rushed through the recording and bolted out the door to eat themselves into food induced comas at a nearby dumpling house. But before that they managed to chat about a few movie related things! Fiona didn't hold back when discussion her thoughts on the film The Tree of Life. Matt caught up on the comic adaptation of RED, staring Bruce Willis, And the best Elroy could muster was a DVD night with some friends!

As a discussion topic this week, the team doesn't stray too far from home and discusses some of the titles featuring in the Melbourne International Film Festival.

OH THE SHAME! We all have those films that we hate to admit that we like. And there are plenty of movies that we judge others for liking! In episode 20 the team talk Movie Shame, and out a whole bunch of listeners who were tricked into confessing their secret shame! Elroy dug into the new DVD release box and pulled out Mutant Girl Squad, and dropped in to see Remote Viewing's own Zak Hepburn for a Cult Vault screening of Big Boss. Matt continued to educate the lovely Frocksandfroufrou in the ways of classic movies by watching The Big Chill. And Fiona braved the reviews to see Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon.

This episode continues our efforts to examine the work of some of our favourite (and not so favourite) film makers, this week Fiona put her hand up to lead a discussion on one of her personal favourites, the man behind Machete, El mariachi, From Dusk Till Dawn: Robert Rodriguez. She also made her way to the cinema to see Cars 2 and the new Kung-Fu Panda movie. Elroy parked on the couch and watched some Chinese wire-fu action in the Blu-Ray release of Reign of Assassins.

As always this episode has listener feedback, and upcoming cinema, DVD, and Blu-ray release dates.

The team decided to take a break from film this week, which of course means that Fiona went right to the cinema and saw Julia's Eyes. Elroy and Matt however followed the rules and focused on television shows that they wanted to catch up on, which was the topic for this week: What we're watching on TV. The crew talked about the TV shows that have been renewed for another season, and a few that haven't been. This topic ran horrendously long though, so this episode strays from the usual format, in that the last half of the show is a single block which consists of mostly TV talk, and some release dates and feedback crammed awkwardly into the last few minutes of the show.
