Science Fiction Rating System

We're back after a classic impromptu break (Chris was in Cannes etc.) to review Gravity, an incredibly critically revered film by Alfonso Cuarón! What's not to like? Oh, wait, he also directed another critical darling we didn't care for, Children of Men? Hmm.

Next week we finally have a little chat about season 3 of Picard!

This week we watch Downsizing, in which a 5-inch tall Matt Damon is a small man with big problems. Join us as we discuss a film of two halves, pitch endless ideas for our own versions, ponder the science of being shrunk, and marvel at Udo Kier's dancing. Also, we add our first Poppins film to the new list!

Next week it's Gravity!

This week we rank Alex's birthday pick, John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars. It's the only Carpenter film Alex hadn't seen...is this a lost gem? No, it's not. It's a stinker. But we watched it so you don't have to, so join us to find out just why it isn't worth your time. Public service podcast. The government should be paying us to make this, probably.

Next week we watch a 5 inch tall Matt Damon in Downsizing!

This week we review a 'cult classic' that is truly cult, because none of us have heard of it. Join us as we watch a pretty stellar cast star in a truly bizarre film. Suicidal concert goers, questionable accents, Jeff Goldblum being Jeff Goldblum. It's a film that's got everything, except a particularly coherent plot.

Next week it's Alex's birthday pick, er, Ghosts of Mars! Sorry about that.

We return from a classic SFRS unexpected hiatus with the 2nd part of our Wachowski season, Cloud Atlas. Join us as we try and untangle six stories, 60 bad prosthetics, and 600 roles played by 6 actors. It's a mess, but is it a good mess? Hmm? (not really, no.)

Next week, we watch V for Vendetta!

This week we begin our Wachowski season with Speed Racer, 2008's insanely colourful kid's film that at least one host has fond memories of. Join us as we discuss the film's unusual look, dental work on piranhas, and chimps on film.

Next week, we continue down Wachowski-ing it up with Cloud Atlas!

2018 season concludes with long-time listener Colin's pick- A Quiet Place! Join us for a classic SFRS alien feasibility breakdown, great ideas for films that we should have redacted, unrelated Jack Ryan appreciation. And we re-rank Toys and end up with loads more problems with the rankings!

Next week, Wachowski season begins with Speed Racer! Prepare to feel sick.

This week we continue 2018 season with Sam's pick, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. We watched these films a month ago so excuse your host as he forgets what order the film took place in, and even what happened. Alex gives us some deep Marvel lore, Sam can't stop talking about the animation, and Chris is enjoying himself despite this being both a superhero film and animated.

Next week, 2018 season concludes with listener pick, A Quiet Place!

2018 season continues with Alex's pick, Sorry to Bother You, a dystopian tale of capitalist gone mad. Join us for white voice confusion, an anti-capitalist rant from guess who, the usual concern about the state of everything and a twist nobody saw coming. And we also find time to add another film to the new list!And correspondence too? It's the podcast that keeps giving! And then ends.

Next week (hopefully) we watch Sam's pick for 2018 film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse!
