Republish of 29th November 2020 original episode.
This week THCC delve into the cyberpunk artistry of famed director Paul Verhoeven in Total Recall (1990).
In 2084, everyday man Douglas Quaid (the Arnie himself) dreams of going to Mars and do something worthwhile in his life. When he learns of tech-corporation Recall which can make his dreams into a virtual experience, he finds himself learning that his life is a false memory as well as uncovering a deadly political conspiracy.
The question: is this all a dream or reality?

In space no one can hear you scream.
To start our October/Halloween month, we discuss one of our favourite sci-fi horror franchises, the Alien series, arguably the better ones Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott, and Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron.
We talk about the settings, characters, aesthetics, themes, the horrors and of course the major player: the xenomorphs.
How are these creatures the most terrifying monsters in cinema history?
