The Outer Reels episodes:

May 22, 2025 Brian Trenchard-Smith
We interview ozploitation legend, Brian Trenchard-Smith (see half of our Australian episodes in season 2!). Brian is (obviously) an amazing storyteller, touching on his novel "Alice Through the Multiverse", getting his start in editing movie trailers, and the move into feature films. Be sure to check out his memoir, "Adventures in the B Movie Trade."

May 08, 2025 Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Decoder
Weird Movie = Weird Episode - Great sounds and music though, and apparently, we find out that Jason does not like True Lies? while learning about his career at the Grocery store, working on Hallmark Christmas movies and somehow Freddy Got Fingered, all in the mix.

May 01, 2025 Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 1)
We're going to take two episodes to cover this German miniseries from 1973. Jason LOVES this while Sam isn't so convinced.
Please excuse Jason's wonky sound this episode (just THIS episode?!?) as he apparently doesn't know how to talk into a microphone.

March 27, 2025 Forgotten German Sci-Fi: The Noah's Ark Principle
We start our tour of Germany with Roland Emerich's student film. It's really impressive for what it is, though we're not sure what it is.
On a side note: unfortunately the YouTube channel we reference in this episode is already gone. Pour one out...

March 20, 2025 Forgotten British Sci-Fi: The Terrornauts
"The whole movie, once they're in space, looks like a high school play." Also, Sam claims to be an editor, but he doesn't cut ANYTHING.
