  • Trailer Hell Part 2: The Past

    For part 2 of our bad film special Sam shows Alex some terrible trailers from the past. Rogue cops, evil frogs, dinosaurs in warehouses and purple monsters, our minds are repeatedly blown before we decide which of these terrible films will be getting the full on SFRS treatment in a future episode.

  • Trailer Hell Part 1: The Future

    Chris is away filming his Alien short film so Sam and Alex take the oppurtunity to indulge their taste for terrible films. In two special episodes we watch a selection of upcoming and old awful looking films, ranking the lot before choosing one to get the proper full show treatment.

    In Part 1 Alex takes us through a few future classics to look out for in cinemas near you soon. Well, on streaming services, at least. Jackie Chan in ten films at once, the world’s worst AI voice, Nicolas Cage wandering around the apocalypse and much, much more, we’ve got a little of everything.

  • Mad Max

    This week the gang watch George Miller's Mad Max, a little Australian indie flick that made a lot of money that introduced the world to Mel Gibson, so has a knock against it from the start. Join us as we watch an uneven film that a lot of people think they've seen but perhaps haven't, and try our best to stop Chris starting beef with any more countries/organised crime syndicates.

    Next week our first Spanish film, its Timecrimes!

  • The Abyss

    James Cameron really loves the water, so he made a very expensive film that was very difficult to film so he could become a fish for a few months. The result is The Abyss, a clunky blockbuster that has a lot more issues than its watery setting. Join us as we discuss why no one makes films like this, what’s going on with Cameron’s choking fetish and try and fix the terrible ending.

    Next week post apocalyptic fun with George Miller’s original Mad Max!

  • Predators

    Remember how great Predator was last week? What a well thought out, tightly scripted and tense action film it was? And remember Predator 2? How it took that formula and transplanted it to a city, adding police procedural stuff and weirdo cults to create some fresh and exciting?

    Well forget all that because this week we watch Predators, where gruff librarian Adrien Brody leads a group of dull Z-listers around a fake jungle in a vain attempt to locate the magic that made the original film so good.

    (P.s. these notes written by Sam, and don’t necessarily represent the views of the entire pod. But they probably should.)

  • Predator

    We’re back with a bang, as we celebrate the release of The Predator by watching Predator, no The required. Join us for an in depth breakdown of John McTiernan’s monster movie classic, as we follow Arnie and a team of ’80s action heroes into the jungle. Awful Arnie impersonations, lots of talk about how great a monster the predator is, and repeated attempts not to consider any of the terrible things done to the Predator by later entries in the franchise.

    Next week a look at one of those later entries, more predator fun with 2010’s Predators

  • Equilibrium

    This week our accidental dystopian double bill continues with Equilibrium! Christian Bale arrests people for liking art, Sean Bean dies too early and Sean Pertwee lives too long.

    Next week we get ready for the release of Shane Black’s The Predator with the first of a Predator double bill, er, Predator!

    IT’S OUR 100TH FILM!

    And what better film to celebrate than the monochrome miserabilism of Michael Radford’s 1984, yay! Alex hosts as we thoroughly dissect the film breaking occasionally from the misery to take part in an incredibly self indulgent quiz about…ourselves.

    Next week we watch 1984 again, but through the lens of a hyperactive 14 year old in 2000 – its Equilibrium!
