Project Hail Mary Dion and Jill are the two team members who had braved the big dark scary abyss of space for our review of Project Hail Mary, so this one is very much a spoiler free look at the film and a whole bunch of “why you should definitely go see it!” Project Hail Mary is the new film based on the book of the same name by Andy Weir; the author of the other wildly popular space science romp, The Martian. In this new film Ryan Gosling is our resident space smart-guy (this Ken does Space) and the scale of the drama is galactically large!

We hope you enjoy it! Synopsis Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship with amnesia to discover he is on a last-chance, one-way mission to save humanity.

War Machine Join us for your government mandated propaganda film featuring giant robots and US Ranger training procedures aplenty. It’s War Machine on Netflix, not to be confused with War Machine (2017) on Netflix… (or War Machine, not on Netflix) in THIS ONE… During the final stage of US Army Ranger selection, an elite team‘s training exercise turns into a fight for survival against an unimaginable threat. It’s propaganda, make no mistake about that folks. it’s flag waving jingoistic, “Hoo-Rah America saves the world” propaganda, but with its blend of Predator and Metal Gear, and a hint of Aliens…is it actually any good? Dion is our drill sergeant, Jill and Peta are the New recruits and Quinny is walking down washout lane… Synopsis Alan Ritchson is a soldier in a elite Ranger unit whose training exercise becomes a fight for survival when they encounter a deadly, giant alien robot. https://youtu.be/VVw5p_TFXgY A huge thank you to all grunts and jarheads who illegally tune in to this frequency to listen to each episode of the show while they prepare their next deployment into the theatre of war… or something.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy In this new entry to the Star Trek canon we are boldly going, once again, to the far flung future and this time we are heading to the strange new world that is… high school? In a beguiling move for the Star Trek franchise we have shifted focus from exploring the stars with highly competent adults to exploring the interpersonal drama of teenagers. Is it “Skins in space”? Or is it “Beverly Hills: Star-date 90210”? Live long and prosper fellow kids! Your faculty for this semester are PE teacher Dion, combo Maths and Science maven Jill, and cool, acessible, student counsellor Quinny who is just a bit too casual, ya know? Synopsis Starfleet Academy follows the first new class of Starfleet cadets in over a century as they come of age and train to be officers.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms HBO and George R.R. Martin aren’t done with us yet. We’re heading back to Westeros to follow a new kind of story. Gone are the multi-generational tales of Kings, Queens, Empires and Dragons; this time we’re focusing on a single Hedgeknight and the little boy who wants to be his squire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms adapts the first of the novellas that introduced these characters, and is a different direction for the whole Game of Thrones Behemoth. In this episode Dion is our Hedgeknight dujour, and Jill and Peta both show no interest at all of being his squire. Quinny is in a character entirely different book series. Synopsis A century before the events of “Game of Thrones,” two unlikely heroes wander Westeros. In an adaption of George R. R. Martin’s novella “The Hedge Knight,” a young and naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg, face a series of dangerous exploits. https://youtu.be/1qQtCQvvOpc As always, an chivalrous thank-you to all you Hedge-knights and hedge-days join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Wonder Man In this episode we are getting our thesp on and flexing our character actor muscles with the latest slightly rehearsed and barely directed dramatic reading from the beloved theatrical powerhouse that is Marvel Studios. Wonder Man (which is in no way connected to Wonder Woman) takes a sharp left turn in style and attitude from the usual Marvel fare. We follow two actors, desperate to get the role of a lifetime in a world where not only is superhero fatigue a real thing, but it’s also legally controlled; especially on film sets. Will this super powered Simon get his role that he has been building an entire career to achieve or will Trevor get 25 to life for his history? Three of the team, Quinny, Peta and Dion are in this improv group and they are “Yes, and” ing as hard as possible. Synopsis Small-time actor Simon Williams struggles to reckon with his personal life while hiding his super-powers as he tries to land his dream role. Meanwhile, a shady government agent leverages a new friendship in order to save his own job. https://youtu.be/I04EsGHOSr4 A huge thank you to all the ex-terrorist actors and wet behind the ears thesps who listen avidly to each episode of the show while they should be learning their lines… But also thank you, to those Agents and Damage Controllers who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week, and every week!

Send Help We love Sam Raimi, whether he’s making the best Spider-man Movies, the best Dr Strange Movies, or the best damn Evil Dead Movies ever! Well now he’s turning his talents to a new story, something a little different from anything we have seen from him before. In Send Help, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien are co-workers stranded on a deserted island after a horrific plane crash. Things do not go well for either. Dion, Quinny and Jill are stranded on this desert island podcast, and as usual Jill is the one voted most likely to survive. Synopsis A woman and her overbearing boss become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. https://youtu.be/GKzHoh9EQ3o A huge thank you to all the Corporate elites and their pathetic lapdogs who listen to each episode of the show while they prepare their next corporate merger… But also thank you, to those weird workers and functionaries who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week, and every week!

Wicked: For Good Is this, the second Act (don’t call it a sequel!) to Wicked (the smash hit musical of last year), a magical tour de force, or a misanthropical tour de farce? Does the film version of everything post intermission overcome some of the inherent issues of the stage show and elevate the material to defy gravity? Or is it all a sham waiting to be doused in water and melt away to nothing? We are here to check out if this Ozian festivating is 100% ozmapolitan or confusifying and disgustificating! It’s Wizardly Dion, Jill the good, and Quinny the cowardly lion with special guest Ardella (of Kansas)! Synopsis: Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda resides at the palace in Emerald City, reveling in the perks of fame and popularity.

The Running Man and The Long Walk In the late 70’s Stephen King was still a ways away from being a household name; he had released Carrie, Salem’s Lot and The Shining and his star was certainly on the rise… but he wanted more. That “more” came in the form of a pen-name that would allow him to try different ways of telling stories: Richard Bachman. Under this name he wrote 4 novels from 1977 to 1982 before his ruse was discovered. This podcast we are reviewing the adaptations of two of those books; The Long Walk from 1979 and The Running Man from 1982. This is the second attempt at an adaptation of The Running Man and this one contains almost 98% less Arnold Schwarzenegger. Are they trudging to the finish line or do they barrel along at a breakneck pace? Join in with Dion, Jill and Quinny for their rambling and occasionally sprinting thoughts on these two thematically similar but structurally opposite films. Synopsis – The Running Man In the near future, “The Running Man” is the top-rated show on television, a deadly competition where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Desperate for money to save his sick daughter, Ben Richards is convinced by the show’s ruthless producer to enter the game as a last resort. Ratings soon skyrocket as Ben’s defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite, as well as a threat to the entire system. Synopsis – The Long Walk Teens participate in a gruelling high-stakes contest where they must continuously walk or be shot by a member of their military escort. https://youtu.be/ICkzbDZhr6c A huge thank you to all perambulating peeps who trudge through each episode of the show, especially those of you joggers, sprinters, or light shufflers who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Frankenstein (2025) The long and storied history of Frankestein and his monstrous creation has been a staple of the cinema landscape since the very beginnings of film. We have seen so many adaptations and interpretations of the Frankenstein monster that some have burned into our psyche in an almost archetypal fashion. From Mary Shelley’s initial creation to today we have seen the monster take a front seat, while the original ideas and meanings have been more and more confused. So how does a creator explore the classic horror story and find something new? with great difficulty if “I Frankenstein” is anything to go by. Well if anyone can do it and do it well, it’s our man Guillermo Del Toro! In this review, Dion is the mad scientist, Jill the voice of reason and caring in a cold heartless world…and Quinny is of course the simple creation: The monster whose origins are born from scientific folly and not from human kindness. Synopsis A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life in a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. https://youtu.be/y80V_oiAqWU As always, an assembled thank-you to all you crazy mad scientists of mirth who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Predator: Badlands The Predator franchise has been long and incredibly varied in it’s scope and quality. From the very first film which was, lets be fair, a macho man monster movie… to the ongoing saga that has been explored in Comics, Games, Movies and animation. The character of the Predator has crossed over with a massive range of other IP’s from Batman and Judge Dredd to Archie (?!) and even the ENTIRE MARVEL UNIVERSE… But thus far we’ve never seen them as anything other than an antagonist. Well all that is about to change in Predator Badlands! Young Yautja hunter Dek is ready to take on the most deadly planet in the galaxy to prove himself to his family. He is going to need to learn a lot about working together with others to survive. Dion, Jill and Quinny are the Predators in this review, and they are hunting down a great film! Synopsis: Cast out from its clan, an alien hunter and an unlikely ally embark on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. https://youtu.be/qucmg5g0zds A huge thank you to all the Predators and Prey who listen to each episode of the show while they hunt their next target… But also thank you, to those weird animals and deadly plants who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week, and every week!

Nacho Libre Is this your Lucha Libre inspired high flying, wrestling based adventure comedy film? NO! … it’s NACHO comedy film! not… your… nacho. get it? Ugh. From the mind of Director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Minecraft) comes the story of Ignacio; friar, cook, and secret lucha wrestler. Jack Black stars in this 2006 comedy. And with the unnecessary fart noise of Nacho Libre ringing in our ears, we bid a fond farewell to wrestle-tober; a month where we all learned something and that wrestling films are the friends we body slammed along the way. So now it’s wrapped up just in time for the Spooky season of halloween to sneak on in, for a bit of fun to round out the month. The whole wrestling team is in this episode, and even though they are all wearing lucha masks… you can tell who is who. Synopsis Ignacio (Jack Black), or Nacho to his friends, works as a cook in the Mexican monastery where he grew up. The monastery is home to a host of orphans whom Nacho cares for deeply, but there is not much money to feed them properly. Nacho decides to raise money for the children by moonlighting as a Lucha Libre wrestler with his partner Esqueleto (Héctor Jiménez), but since the church forbids Lucha, Nacho must disguise his identity. https://youtu.be/VNjDltT-Fks A huge thank you to all the mini estrella (and Maxi too) wrestlers who listen to each episode of the show while they train for their big moment… But also thank you, to those hard bitten old wrestlers who never took off the mask, who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week, and every week!
