Retrospection

In this episode we journey to a galaxy far, far away, and to a long time ago.... but not that one. We going on a space faring adventure with Roger Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars from 1980. So, join us as we discuss suggestively shaped ships and alcohol dispensing belts, in this oddly toned children's film.  

In this episode we take a look at The Return of Swamp Thing from 1989. This Jim Wynorski comic book movie is a very loose sequel to Wes Craven's original, and is very different in tone and look. But does it hold up for us today? Along the way Paul battles with Swamp Thing Dookie, Colin remembers the great punk 'Rob Genitals', and both argue about fruity cheesecake. Do you know where your banana muffins are? Music intro by Creedence Clearwater Revival "Born on the Bayou"  and outro music is from the Credits Final Theme by Chuck Cirino

In this episode we join Sam Treadwell as he searches for the perfect woman in the cult classic, Cherry 2000, from 1987. Along the way we discover that Paul considers himself a gourmet, and wants a certain robot for Christmas. While Colin reveals a shocking lack of knowledge about barbed wire (not the film, the object). Music is from the Cherry 2000 soundtrack music suite by Basil Poledouris.

In a change to our scheduled episode, while Colin is off on a secret 00 mission, Paul is joined by guest presenter Adam. Adam discusses his love of no-brain 90s action movies whilst Paul's sobriety is once again called into question. Intro Devo "Girl You Want" Outro Joan Jett and Paul Westerberg "Let's Do it (Let's Fall in Love)"

In this episode we take a drive into crazy town as we watch John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness (1994). Paul reveals a surprising fascination for certain aspects of anime, and Colin spends too much time on little old ladies. Intro and outro music by John Carpenter.

In this episode we take a sprint through Logan's Run from 1976. Colin wonders if living in a Utopia is worth dying at thirty, while Paul contemplates the deeper emotions of his love for 70s scifi fashion. Is this influential scifi movie still worthy of a watch or do we wish our crystals had turned black before the end? Only one way to find out...... Intro and outro music by Jerry Goldsmith. 

Due to Paul coughing and sneezing over everything our regular episode has been delayed. So in the meantime enjoy this slightly different special episode, in which I take a look at Bullit from 1968 and see how it was influenced by European cinema. Music by Ennio Morricone.   

In this episode we uncover the truth and throw on the shades as we take a look at John Carpenter's scifi cult classic, They Live, from 1988. Along the way we create an new type of audiobook, attempt a terrible bit of acting, and spend too much time discussing cheese. Intro and outro music is from They Live by John Carpenter.

In this episode we take a look at Die Another Day from 2002. Pierce Brosnan's last outing as the sophisticated British spy was the biggest grossing Bond film until Casino Royale, but divided opinions on its release. Will the same happen to us? Meanwhile, Paul reveals a fear of two headed women and mixes up a musical space walk with the sounds of the imperial march, and we ponder where supervillains go shopping. Intro music is Die Another Day by Madonna and the outro is Paul Oakenfold's remix of the Bond theme. 

In this episode we take the law into space as we journey to BBC's short-lived scifi series, Star Cops, from 1987. Meanwhile, Paul battles with his Alexa and Colin defends against an onslaught of chocolate bar puns. Music, Star Cops theme, "It Won't be Easy Without You" by Justin Hayward.
