Podcasts On Infinite Earths

Join us for on our D&D quest as Lewis & Tom Prime, guided by expert Dungeon Master, Also Tom, embark on an epic journey to save the town of Amit- I mean, YAMIT, from a dangerous shar- uh, MONSTER, threatening to ruin their Summer Fayre! Bear witness as two unlikely heroes face off against devious bridge trolls, a stubborn local mayor, a deadly underground beast and, most of all... EACH OTHER!

The best movie we've ever discussed? We'll let you decide.. that it is. This week we break down the perfectly-cast, perfectly executed Scooby Do! Discussing the 2002 cinematic extraordinaire we talk about peak-frosted tips culture, wonder what on Earth gets made in that toy-factory, Scooby's genuinely fantastic one-liners and we play the worlds hottest new game - Sugar Ray or Mills & Boon?!

Kicking off 2025 with our long overdue discussion of Con Air! Part of the holy trinity of Nicolas Cage films, we discuss the impeccable casting, Cage's flawless Southern drawl, the hilariously implausible secret prison cell hidey-hole, wonder if prison concessions sell pink stuffed bunnies and what's with the first aid box filled with garlic and chicken feet?

Merry Christmas! And nothing says Christmas quite like discussing one of the worst Christmas films ever made while we drink our way through this train-wreck of a film. We discuss the windows move maker transitions, the questionable morals of just about everyone, Larry's disguise homage to the pigeon woman from Home Alone 2 plus much more of the insightful analysis this film deserves!

"Sam Neil space madness A marinated spaceship Bayleaf Confidence." Yes, all our episodes going forward will have Haiku descriptions. We discuss the 1997 spiritual sci-fi nightmare fuel - Event Horizon!

Lewis and Tom reunite after a pre and post pub beverage to discuss the not the best but not the worst Wolverine movie! Wondering why anyone is doing anything, we discuss the physics of bullet train brawling, and reimagine the fight on the Greater Manchester Metrolink, ask if Hugh Jackman really wants to be here, we imagine Wolverine waking up next to Ant and Dec and who is Sir Longpork?!

We revisit our favourite decade in movies to discuss the fantasy comedy (?) Dragonheart! We play Dragonheart Sequel or Mills & Boon novel?! We try and figure out where and when this is actually meant to be, discuss the the varying accents of Dennis Quaid and David Thewlis and ask the question - did Sean Connery have a bratwurst in his mouth?

The Arnie film we didn't know existed and couldn't get enough of! This week we're discussing the fantasy/horror/sci-fi/action/terrible 1999 movie END OF DAYS! a.k.a Jingle All The Way 2: Hells Bells! We talk about Arnie's blended-pizza shake, Miriam Margolyes' superhuman strength, The Devil accidentally quoting Spice Girls and all our usual nonsense!

Lewis and Tom Prime reunite on Zoom to try and discuss John Carpenter's classic 1981 action film Escape From New York - covering everything from John Carpenter's 80's synth score to Kurt Russell's perfectly conditioned hair. We also give our thoughts on THE FLASH and look ahead to this summer's battle of the blockbusters between BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER!

For our 60th episode we discuss the John Landis horror classic! We question the geographical nonsense of sending someone injured on (clearly) the Yorkshire Moors all the way to London, the fantastic Rick Baker practical effects, David's very overly-trusting nurse, an incongruous Frank Oz cameo, inappropriately titled pubs, the absolute carnage of Piccadilly Circus and the surprising cost of day-time adult movies in the 80's!

It might be a New Year, but we're just as awful at analysing movies as ever. This week we visit the movie that kicked off the careers of Spielberg, John Williams, animatronic out of work sharks and the summer blockbuster itself! 

POIE is back! Just in time to ruin Christmas. This week, we discuss the all-time classic E.T.! We discuss the iconic practical effects, the heart warming story of childhood, the vaguely neglectful mother and confusing home dynamic, some curious 80's insults plus our all usual nonsense! Don't forget to rate and subscribe wherever you listen to us! 

We revisit the Cornetto Trilogy as we all get together for a rare in-person recording, get slightly inebriated and discuss the 2007 action-comedy HOT FUZZ! While we try and avoid just reciting the endlessly quotable film, we do break down the fantastic directing and editing we all come to love from an Edgar Wright film. We discuss the juggernaut of a great British cast, how it compares to its' predecessor Shaun of the Dead, we look all the big action scenes and set-pieces, lots of foreshadowing and all our usual nonsense! Warning : this is a really, really stupid episode. Enjoy!

We go through the big hole space door this week to discuss the Roland Emmerich sci-fi sandy spectacular STARGATE! We talk Kurt Russell's impeccably flat buzz-cut, James Spader's effortless charisma, the unapologetic nerdy-ness of the entire film, some questionable companions for Ra, ask whether the film was slightly ahead of it's and of course we all wonder where Arnold Schwarzenneger could have fit into this film..

To honour the sequel nobody asked for it's the podcast nobody wants! Yes, this week we're discussing the 1986, sweaty-volleyball spectacular TOP GUN! We wonder how many communal showers are actually in the flight school, if 'Take My Breath Away' is actually just the elevator music, question Viper's brutal heartless response to (spoilers!) Goose's death, the not-so tighty-whitey's and Maverick and Goose constantly making a scene in every bar they visit. We also stray down tangent alley and imagine if Kathy Bates sounded Italian. Yep, we're back!

There's no escaping it. This episode goes off the rails quickly (no pun intended...). Tom announces his Cattlepunk album. Lewis spends far too long talking about juicy pears. None of us can quite fathom what compelled Kenneth Branagh to take the role of Dr Loveless. And Tom Prime wonders if the final act should have been a 70ft sake instead. Yes, that's about as deep as our analysis goes for Wild Wild West! We sure do love the 90s.

To celebrate our 2nd birthday we dive into the internet's simultaneously favourite and least favourite thing - THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT! We discuss reckless use of a Rancor on a sandy village, the Mos Espa Vespas, whether or not we really needed so much of Boba in a diaper, the strange sex life of Amy Seders' Peli and much more! But FIRST, we may tribute to JOHN WILLIAMS on his 90th birthday! 

Kicking of our first movie discussion of the year by visiting our favourite decade once again, the 90s! We discuss the smash-hit blockbuster MEN IN BLACK! With a Will Smith at the peak of his Will Smithiest, Tommy Lee Jones reinventing dead-pan delivery and some incredible practical aliens by Rick Baker, we can't help but love this sci-fi comedy! But don't worry, we still stray aggressively off-topic and coin a less than pleasant term for the neuralyzer... 

It's the episode no one asked for, no one needs and no one wants! it's our annual Podcast on Infinite Earths Quiz all about Podcasts on Infinite Earths! We quiz each other on 3 of our favourite movies and shows from last year to see how well we remember the objective nonsense we spit every week. Turns out, we don't remember much at all. Play along at home or just wait until we do a proper episode again if you want...

Continuing our annual tradition of only discussing bad Christmas movies, we discuss what is definitely the coal in the stocking of Christmas movies! We talk the sort-of remake, sort-of sequel to the genuinely fantastic HOME ALONE, which we should have discussed instead. We discuss the film's nonsensical plot surrounding a priceless garbage doll, the strange choice to frame the burglars as sympathetic protagonists, the overbearingly irritating child, the fact no one who made this film knows how VR works, the bizarre Buzz McCallister cameo and mostly just really wish we'd watched the original and long for Catherine O'Hara. 

Santa Claus has come early! As a special holiday treat here's last year's Christmas episode as we break down the greatest (?) Christmas movie ever made. We talk punching Reindeer, Sinbad the terrorist postman, the inexplicable fully functioning Turbo Man suit and much more!

On the eve of Spider-Man No Way Home, we look back at the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 2021 and the phase 4 so far! We discuss the hits (hello, WandaVision), the misses (hello, Eternals) our own personal highlights (hello, Shang-Chi) and our own personal low-points (hello again, Eternals...). We discuss problematic 'is that Mephisto' approach of the fans and creators, discuss some long over-due wider representation, the potential of the Young Avengers and then look ahead to some huge films and TV series to come! Also, Tom drinks Rhubarb Mead. Because.

This week Also Tom takes the reigns as Lewis nurses a hangover as we discuss John Carpenter's 1982 classic - THE THING! We discuss an alternate theory where the entire ensemble is just inhabiting the same fever dream, question how many Chess Wizard's they must go through, discuss the brilliant tension and paranoia layered throughout the film, the incredible practical effects and much more! 

A mini bonus episode as Lewis flies solo without the usual co-pilots of Tom and Also Tom! He just about keeps the podcast in the air as he discusses all the big trailers, announcements and behind the scenes teases from this year's DC FANDOME! 

This week Lewis and Also Tom discuss Marvel's What If? with some incongruous soundbites sent in by the absent Tom Prime! We break down each episode, what we liked, what we didn't, discuss the potential future of the series and wider implications for the MCU and much more! 

This week we jump on the wayback machine to a golden era of Hollywood to talk about a Disney and pop-culture classic; THE JUNGLE BOOK! Well, two of us do, while one of us watched Con Air by mistake. Buckle up as two of us try to discuss an all time animation great while one of us tries to figure out where Nicolas Cage might fit into the story. We talk all things Sherman Brothers, Disney's 9 old men, some cultural and casting choices which don't hold up to much scrutiny, the standout musical numbers, some beautiful animation and much more! 

We're back! And more ridiculous than ever. This week we talk the sci-fi and pop-culture classic - THE TERMINATOR! Bear with us as we stumble through some of our most irreverent and frankly stupidest tangents ever which include a time-travel flesh suitcase, strange encounters with Bill Paxton and a Swiss-army robot penis. We also talk the enduring appeal of the franchise, James Cameron's directing, the true specimen of a man that is Arnold Schwarzenegger, the iconic Linda Hamilton, some terrific and infamous practical effects and it's Tom v Lewis Round2 on whether or not a camel can out-run a horse!

In brightest day, in mediocre podcast, no movie shall escape our sight! Yes, this week we discuss the infamous RYAN REYNOLDS ridiculous CGI caper GREEN LANTERN! We talk about whether the movie is actually THAT BAD and praise the unabashed comic book-ness of it all! We talk THAT costume, the surprisingly impressive cast, lots and lots and lots of exposition and much more nonsense!

This week we get up to all sorts of mischief (get it... cause.. y'know) as we discuss the fantastic first season of LOKI! We break down the HUGE reveal at the end, what it means for the entire MCU going forward and when we might see certain characters again. We discuss the great cast, the wonderfully 80's themed bureaucratic TVA, the few elements that perhaps didn't work and our hopes for season 2!

Join us in the not too-distant future in the lawless land of Australia (sorry, Australia) as we discuss the move that made Mel Gibson a star - MAD MAX! Or, Slightly Irritated Max? Or Mad Goose, really. We discuss this impressive low-budget, stunt-driver-car-crashing fest and how we kind of wish we watched Fury Road instead. We talk the production, the enduring franchise, break-down all the major players and wonder if Toecutter's gang is in fact a band of improv-drama-students!

En-Sean-Connery! This week we discuss the Michael Bay-iest of Michael Bay movies - THE ROCK! A movie where everything is the most thing it can be! We walk some absolutely nonsense exposition - thermite plasma anyone? The enduring appeal of Sean Connery, some choice lines by Nichola Cage, a surprisingly decent character drama hiding amidst all of the fire plus the bizarre architecture of Alcatraz! Who built Big Thunder Mountain underneath?! 

This week we discuss an all-time movie classic, Steven Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK! We talk all things Jeff Goldbum and his majestic bare chest, the remarkably CGI and practical effects which still hold up, the meticulously layered plot of tension that only Spielberg can craft and of course that iconic JOHN WILLIAMS score that still gives Tom the tingles... but that's another matter entirely.

This week we look at a pop-culture classic in the form of the Rob Reiner directed, 1987, THE PRINCESS BRIDE! A movie which splits the podcast as we debate whether it's an all-time great, overrated or something in between! We look at our favourite scenes, discuss the legend that is Andre The Giant, ask if Peter Falk is the most intimidating grandfather ever, look at some impressive swordsmanship, the incredible cast, questionable stunt-double hill-rolling and we delve into the history of how we ended up going from aspiring actors to recording podcasts on a Saturday afternoon! And much more! We cannot promise there will be no Andre The Giant impressions.

In a Podcasts on Infinite Earths classic, we discuss the diesel-punk 2003 flop - The League of Extraordinary Gentelmen - LXGEEEEE! We delve into a film packed to the rafters with expository dialogue, the most over-complicated and nonsensical plot you'll ever see, some forgettable and some enjoyable performances and yet we still find a lot to love about this pre-Avengers team-up movie! Both ahead of it's time while being WAY behind the times with some not-really-okay behaviour, we look at all the big action scenes, why the Nautilus had to be so inexplicably huge, the potential the movie never fulfilled and we ask a question we never thought we would ; what if all bees sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger?

This week we discuss the superhero (attempted) satire - MYSTERY MEN! The movie we unanimously agree misses the mark throughout but just about scrapes by with some fantastic one-liners and the superb William H Macy! We talk the tropes it parodies and the obvious ones it doesn't, the modern day satires which have done a better job (The Boys!), Geoffrey Rush's surprisingly fun turn as the superbly named villain Casanova Frankenstein, surprising cameos, on-set drama, the director who hasn't directed anything (seriously who is he) plus go off on our usual tangents and discuss the UK equivalent of Paul Reubens and what our ideal superhero power would be! 

Put on your finest leather and let's head to the Blooodbath club because this week we're discussing BLADE! A Marvel film before Marvel films were all we could watch, we talk about the direction comic book movies COULD have gone if they'd leaned into Blade instead of X Men! We play a game of 'sh*t or salvation' as we look at writer David S Goyer's eclectic writing credits, we discuss the film's superb action scenes, some very weird-90's-movie moments (ie. Pearl the obese vampire) and the various times humans get thrown impossible distances and how much 'La Magra' sound less like an ancient vampire and more like a teenage holiday destination! Plus all the usual nonsense! 

It's the Snyder Cut of Podcasts on Infinite Earths! Yes, a longer than it has any right to be episode as we delve into the marathon of a film that is Zack Snyder's Justice League! We break down the HUGE differences between this and the 2017 version, discuss the major talking points like Cyborg's integral role, the suggestive slow-motion hot-dogs, if Aquaman only saves Scandinavians and Amber Heard's accent. We talk all things Darkseid, the Knightmare future, the rumours surrounding the future sequels plot points and does Ezra Miller know how to run? Spoilers - no he does not. 

This week we visit another Paul Verhoeven classic with the head-exploding spectacular - TOTAL RECALL! We discuss whether or not the entire film is a dream or really happening, whether or not the satire really lands or if it's overshadowed by some LOUD Arnold Schwarzenegger. We count how many individual times someone gets kicked in the crotch, if everything somehow exists in the Robocop universe and discuss the many, many incredibly over the top practical effects and animatronics plus all our usual terrible movie analysis! 

On a special bonus show we discuss all things WANDAVISION! In a spoiler filled show, we break down the things we loved about the series, the bits we didn't, the fantastic performances across the board, the ridiculous amount of fan-theories, what we expect to happen now that the show finished (asides form us just being sad there is no more WandaVision) and we dive into the biggest philosophical debate of all time we decide what is more profound - the Ship of Theseus discussion or Trigger's Broom from Only Fools and Horses? 

Buckle up, this is a silly one... To celebrate THIRTY ONE episodes we look at one of the biggest pop-culture movies of our lifetime - Marvel's Avengers Assemble! A.k.a Witty-Quips; The Movie! Well, I say we look at it, as usual we end up on some strange tangents which include imagining every Samuel L Jackson line spoken by Snagglepluss, if Jim Carrey was Loki and what the fastest time is for completing a Rubik's cube! We do also manage to discuss the film, breaking down the stand out sequences, the world building of the MCU, our favourite OG-Avengers, some of the ridiculous technology  (looking at you, eye-scanner-remover-thingy!) and much more! 

For reasons unknown, we revisit the B-list movie world of the AVP franchise! Discussing the sequel to the 2004 Alien vs Predator, we try our very best to find some semblance of positivity in a very bloated movie... We talk the incessantly dimly lit scenes, the excessive cast of characters you struggle to care about, the many lines this movie crosses and whether or not the franchise has just decided this movie no longer exists! We praise some relatively decent practical effects and then breakdown some of the movies bigger, more baffling set pieces! 

This week we plug our brains into a pop culture classic ; THE MATRIX (1999) a.K.a quiet actors run away from bad future! We break down iconic scenes, debate which pill WE would take and the influence this film has had on modern cinema. We discuss the Keanu renaissance of late, the many many mindless action scenes plus all our usual nonsense!

This week we discuss a modern classic(?) as we rewatch the non-stop action Brendan Fraser vehicle THE MUMMY! We cover all the important topics like how to pronounce the many confusing pronouns and we settle once and for all what runs faster - a horse or a camel? We discuss how many comic-relief characters is too many, the enjoyably silly action set-pieces, some top-notch costing, John Hannah's Scottish accent which won't be tamed, the shiny-oily body of Imhotep and much more! 

Jumping the shark already, Lews, Tom and Also Tom, quiz each other on three of the film's discussed during 2020! Play along at home or just listen to how little we know our own show! And make sure you submit YOUR drawing of Han Solo reversing a horse for a chance to win... nothing!

On a very *special* Christmas show, we pull yet another Anrold Scharzenegger movie out the stocking and talk about the 90's festive, comedy (?) romp - JINGLE ALL THE WAY! We ask how many 90's movies are about neglectful dads missing Karate recitals, and why most lines in the movie are screamed by the actors. We talk Sinbad's deranged postman surely heading to a federal prison, where a $75million dollar budget actually went, how the worst-named Christmas parade came to be, punching a Reindeer and the cheery message of greedy consumerism sprinkled throughout! 

This week we turn the nostalgia dial up to 11 as we discuss the 2018 POKEMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU! We ask all the important questions like ; Do humans eat the Pokemon? Do humans and Pokemon have relationships? And just what on Earth is going on in this film? We talk the enduring power of the Pokemon franchise, the great performance by RYAN REYNOLDS, a stand-out scene with Mr Mime and the great job creating the world of Ryme city and beyond.

Paying tribute to the late, great Sir Sean Connery we watch HIGHLANDER (1986) and my goodness do we have opinions on this movie.. Like - why backflip out of a room when you can just run? Find out what 'ghost haggis' is all about as the "cult classic" makes us question what a Scottish accent actually is and why the NYPD have an 'ancient sword specialist'? We try and figure out what on Earth is actually going on amidst the clumsy editing and dodgy ADR. We discuss some truly exquisite acting on both ends of the spectrum, Clancy Brown's scenery chewing performance and find out what Tom says is the 'most ridiculous thing I've ever heard'! We talk about Sir Sean's role in the film, his uncanny ability to pull off just about any role he is given and the legacy he's left for cinema.

As we kill time finalising our Highlander episode, Lewis and Also Tom talk all things THE MANDALORIAN! But first we have to talk about the Great British Bake Off... (Hermine was robbed!). Then - We delve into the mystery of THE CHILD! We talk about some of the The Mandalorian's highlights including the KRAYT DRAGON, Moff Gideon, Pedro Pascal and the intriguing lore of the Mandalore religion! We talk some of the shows issues,  wonder what other wider Star Wars mythology/characters might come into play and discuss where we want the show to go in the upcoming episodes and seasons! 

In a bonus news show, NOT TO BE MISSED Tom Prime and Lewis discuss all the big geek news which has broken over the past few weeks. We give our thoughts on Jared Leto returning as JOKER in the clearly non-existent SNYDER CUT along with Joe Manganiello and all the original cast it seems! We wonder how much of the Spider-Verse we will get in SPIDERMAN 3, lots of DC TV series and, somehow, end up on a wild journey as we cast real life actors in The Simpsons! Steve Buscemi as Moe, anyone? 

We head to the Wizarding World this week as we discuss the first entry in the Harry Potter franchise! With our usual questionable franchise knowledge, we discuss the wider movie series and it's legacy. We are once again in awe of the genius of John Williams' score. We question the reckless practises of Hogwarts school, discuss the plethora of amazing British actors, whether or not moving stairs are all that necessary, if magic has an anti-Irish agenda and much more!

In today's show we discuss the all-time Arnie classic PREDATOR (1987)! Your quintessential, 1980s action John McTiernan film! We talk about the cliche 80's movie tropes, Carl Weathers' Mandalorian-esque introduction into the film, the emotionally unstable rag-tag team, the iconic Predator design and the design that never was. We break down each grisly death sequence, the gizmos and gadgets used by Predator, Arnie's timeless one-liners along with our usual questionable impressions and irrelevant tangents!
