As well as a bit more Brazil talk we also discuss Valerie's other work on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian , The Dark Crystal , Jabberwocky and much more.

In a very special episode we review Terry Gilliam's Brazil and are joined by Valerie Charlton who worked on the visual effects for the film for a fascinating interview on how some of the iconic shots were put together.

Also, Sam is an idiot and deleted his own audio and Chris has gone AWOL, so listen as Alex and Sam try to recreate a podcast by picking through the remnants of a digital Chris. It's a weird one, just as Gilliam would no doubt want.

Next week, the uncut full 70 minute interview with Valerie, discussing a whole host of cult classics!

This week it's time for another listener request, and as usual it seems our fans may have questionable taste. Bicentennial Man is a film in which Robin Williams plays an android with odd obsessions.

But don't worry about that, what has this all got to do with hummus? How do you become a clock billionaire? Is Chris in talks to produce Bicentennial Man 2? All these questions and more answered in this bumper episode.

Next week we watch Terry Gilliam's Brazil and have a chat with Valerie Charlton about her work on the special effects in the film!

Also, check out Chris' new short The Unreason streaming now on DUST

This week Chris dies and goes to heaven as Denise Richards rides an animatronic T-Rex through small town America. Tammy and the T-Rex has all the hallmarks of going straight to the bottom of the list..but is it actually quite good? We discuss what makes a bad film good (or bad), what can you achieve in two weeks, the beauty of T-Rex arms and the wide world of Paul Walker vinyl decals. Also, another impromptu staff meeting breaks out.

Next week it's Bicentennial Man and that isn't my fault.

Long time listeners know to be scared when the words Star and Trek appear in the title. Yes, it's a long one, almost an hour and half of talk about the seventh Trek film with a bonus bit about Star Trek: Picard tacked on the start. We discuss the plight of Dr. Beverly Crusher, the walking plothole Data, the contents of Chris' nexus and, as always, enough discussion about the layout of the Enterprise to make your Technical Manual blush.

Next week something a little different, it's Tammy and the T-Rex!

Plus! The soundtrack from the show is now available to download! Grab it here! All proceeds go towards keeping the pod running!

This week we're watching THX 1138, George Lucas' pre-Star Wars serious business indie sci-fi flick. Join us for the usual plot breakdown, lots of cooing about nice set design and smart editing, and plenty of bafflement at how we got from here to Dex's Diner.

Next week we continue our chronological trip through all the Star Trek films with Generations (and probably talk a lot about Star Trek: Picard, too)

Chris is back from an unscheduled winter break in LA with tales of splashing celebrities and not telling anyone about the podcast. Lucky for him he returned in time to discuss The Visit, the last of our 2015 choices. A film quite unlike everything we've watched before, it's a documentary but it's also a film about an alien visitation and it's also barely anything and- well, just listen. Is there going to be another film falling to The Poppins Clause? dramatic music

Next week we stick with serious with the listener pick THX 1138!

This week it's Chris' choice of 2015 film to start the new decade, and predictably he's gone for Jurassic World. Alex has plans for a very different sort of JP film, Sam can't get over Quattro and Chris is just happy as long as there's dinosaurs.

Next week it's Sam's pick for 2015, which was Michael Madsen's (not that one) The Visit (not that one, either)

It's 2020 which means the strict and important rules of SFRS now allow us to watch films from 2015. So, obviously our first choice is Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Listen as Sam's soul tries to escape his body, everyone pitches dark TV shows, Alex brings several quizzes and we find out definitively when films stopped being funny.

Next week Chris takes us back to Jurassic Park only this time it's bigger and worse and it's Jurassic World.
