Mountainhead In this episode we check in with the billionaire class and see how they are doing! Turns out: Not great. With Mountainhead; the new film by Jesse Armstrong, we take a fly on the wall peek into the lives of 4 tech bros who have infinitely more money than sense, and somehow even less emotional intelligence that either. It's a tough watch and feels a little too close to current events at times. but we made sure to give it a rigorous once over. We also check out Predator: Killer of Killers the new Predator film from Prey director Dan Trachtenberg in this podcast, and see what other shows we have been entertaining ourselves with. The whole team in on board too, with Dion and Quinny playing the role of Tech Bros with ZERO money with Jill and Peta as the long suffering voices of reason.

Andor and Rogue One 9 Years ago (BBY?) Rogue One was released and a lot of people enjoyed the darker, more serious take on the Star Wars universe. However it felt like an outlier, and for many it didn't fit in with everything else in that galaxy Far Far away. 3 years ago Andor was released. It was show many thought was unnecessary, exploring the backstory of a secondary character many hadn't really embraced. "nobody asked for this" was a regular comment. Oh how that attitude was to change upon it's release! Today, the two seasons of Andor are a high water-mark for not just Star Wars, but TV dramas in general. And they way that they have re-contextualised Rogue One is nothing short of revalatory. In this podcast we look back at the two seasons of the show, and then dig down looking for the deep substrate foliated calcite at the heart of these shows and movies. Dion is our rogueish hero, Jill is the far less creepy non-cgi Leia at the end of Rogue One and Quinny is definitely the Glub Shitto of this podcast. Synopsis this story follows Cassian Andor, a thief and mercenary, five years before Rogue One. He's seeking his sister, Kerri, and becomes involved in the nascent rebellion against the Empire after killing two security guards. He then seeks refuge on Ferrix, where he and his friend Bix are drawn into a black market deal involving an Imperial tech unit. Season two then spans the intervening 5 years leading up to the events of the movie which will ultimately dovetail into Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope https://youtu.be/d2vka9fev3A A huge thank you to all the Rebel Scum who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you ISB operatives who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Batman Ninja Vs Yakuza League When it came out in 2018, Batman Ninja may not have been our cup of green tea, in fact it was definitely NOT. But is this sequel many years in the making, more to our tastes? Or has it gone off like sushi in the sun? It's Batman as a Ninja, with his Bat-boys in tow, going up against not the Justice League, but the Yakuza League... yes Yakuza League. It's much easier if you don't try to have it make sense. Just let the weird wash over you... This one was Quinny's choice and as such he's willing to refund anyone the $7 Dollars* it takes to watch it. jill has already claimed hers and Dion is not far behind. Synopsis: Only a day after returning from the past, Batman and his allies discover that the world is not quite the same as they left it. The entire island of Japan no longer exists and neither do the heroes of the Justice League. But before they can get a handle on what is going on, yakuza literally start raining from the skies. *Quinny will refund you in the form friendship and free podcasts; not actual cash. https://youtu.be/GgUt8I_L17s A huge shout-out to the Bat-fans and Bat-fam who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Perfect Blue Ani-May continues on and this time we are looking back nearly 30 years to the classic psychological thriller that introduced the western world to the intricacies of Japanese Idol culture and unhealthy parasocial fandom in that sub-culture, all through the singular vision of the acclaimed director Satoshi Kon. Based loosely on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by writer Yoshikazu Takeuchi, this film explores the trauma of sexual assault, the fear and uncertainty of dealing with stalkers, and the existential dread that comes from gaslighting and potential mental collapse from an unravelling reality. It is a far cry from the usual anime of the same time period and it remains as topical and relevant today as it was in 1997. Dion made the call for us to watch this, as he wanted a classic piece of Anime, what none of us were really prepared for was the uncompromising film that we watched. Jill was far more up to speed on the content and style while Quinny thought he'd seen it and then realised he probably hadn't. All of them had a lot to process from this episode. Please note the film does include some disturbing and graphic imagery of sexual assault, and our podcast does discuss the content. As such a heavy trigger warning if advised. Synopsis A pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past. https://youtu.be/BZ2cXEF3ar0 A huge shout-out to the beautiful flower children and hardened warriors who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Thunderbolts* Marvel has been pretty hit and miss of late, It's TV has been great but some of the films have felt a little under-cooked. We have had a new Captain America film which some thought flew too close to the sun so now it's time for the B-team lineup to take centre stage. Will this NEW film AVENGE the sacred timeline? Will it be a bolt of exciting lightning or more of a belated and low energy roll of thunder? Or...will it change it's title 4 days after release confusing the hell out of everyone?! All 4 of our team of loveable misfits are on board for this show and we each had a fair bit to say about Thunderbolts* especially that damn asterisk!

Ohh yeah you there we go.  Quinny  Specifically, set it up for that.  Dion  Or maybe that's? The beat E. Yeah, look, OK.

Sinners, Reacher, Invincible and Severance. We are doing our best to keep ahead of all the amazing TV releases out there at the moment, and seemingly we're failing pretty miserably occasionally. So in an effort to make up ground, we are doing two TV roundups of what's hot on the box. This week is Reacher Season 3, Invincible Season 3 and the second huge season of Severance. But as we had to move the show to accomodate a screening, we have also included a special bonus review of the film we saw; Sinners - The new film from Ryan Coogler, starring Michael b Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld and many many more. Dion, Jill and Quinny are the ones getting square eyes this week, so we hope you appreciate the many hours they have spent in front of the TV (and movie screen) for you... Sinners Synopsis: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. https://youtu.be/EQ-jtaIIjJk A huge thank you to all our Innies, Outies and Super hero man mountains who listen (perhaps) to each episode of the show, especially those of you Bootleggers who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

A Minecraft Movie, A Working Man and A More! 16 years ago in 2009 a game developer called Markus "Notch" Persson started seeing blocks in a game called Infiniminer... this sparked his imagination and he began to create blocks everywhere... everything in blocky shapes. simple colours and perfectly cuboid construction pieces. In 2011 his cave based game came fully to fruition and the world was introduced to Minecraft. 14 years later that game has had millions of players, and it's now a major feature film with Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Is the Movie as creatively free and experimental as the game its based on? You'll find out soon. We also checked out A Working Man, the new Jason Statham Movie that's not based on a video game but a comic book written by Chuck Dixon, directed by David Ayer, adapted by none other than Sylvester Stallone. Dion, Jill and Quinny are you hard working miners digging deep into this episode to find the valuable ore of exciting film-making and to sift through the slurry of tedious cinematic drek. Buckle up folks!! Synopsis: A Minecraft Movie: A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve. Synopsis: A Working Man: Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life of working construction. However, when human traffickers kidnap his boss's daughter, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined. https://youtu.be/OjzCapUFvkY A huge thank you to all our blocks, pigs, villagers and weird chicken jockeys who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!) while you're still building the 1:1 scale replica of the world in Minecraft.

The Electric State Simon Stålenhag may not be a household name, but his incredibly distinctive art has inspired hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. His books, "Tales from the Loop", "Labyrinth", "Things from the Flood" and "Sunset at Zero Point" as well as the novel basis for this film "The Electric State" have garnered a passionate fanbase and one of these books has already been loosely adapted into the @amazonprime series “Tales from the Loop”. That brings us to this new big budget Netflix adaptation of The Electric State, from Avengers: Endgame directors The Russo Brothers. Loosely based on the graphic novel, the film takes place in a reimagined version of 1997. Humans are isolated in their VR helmets in the wake of a global war against the robots, and around them the world is on the cusp of a complete technological meltdown. Amidst this dystopian setting a teenage girl named Michelle and a robot travel the U.S in search of answers to questions that may save her brothers life... Is the combination of @milliebobbybrown, @prattprattpratt and the @therussobrothers going to bring this story to enjoyable life? Or will it be a lifeless remote controlled robotic shell? Dion, Quinny and Peta are your road trip buddies this week, and we are sure one of them is a sneaky robot in disguise... but its up to you to decide who. Synopsis An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick. https://youtu.be/nsPeXBCpmpA A huge thank you to all our robots, VR soldiers and questionably moustachioed truck drivers who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!) via your Neurocasters.

Mickey 17 The novel this film was based on; Mickey 7 was being written by Edward Ashton, at almost exactly same time as the film back in 2021. Director Bong Joon Ho saw an opportunity and ran with it to create something pertinent, meaningful and as always, very weird... What remains then to answer is why the film version has solidly 10 more Mickeys!? Why do we need SO many more Mickeys? Robert Pattinson is Mickey 1-17 and in fact Mickey 18 as well... and his life...lives are the subject of this funny, poignant and occasionally silly film Science Fiction film. The whole team is in here, with Jill 41, Peta 99, Dion X and Quinny -3. With all their accumulated knowledge you'd hope they could say something intelligent here. And you would be right! Synopsis Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, this stars Robert Pattinson as an "expendable" - a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong. https://youtu.be/C4UflPhbDc4 A huge thank you to all our clones, copies and reprints who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you copies who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

We have a great show, but before we continue, there are a few housekeeping. I'm implementing to keep the Oscars running smoothly. OK, first, if your acceptance speech goes too long, instead of playing you off with music, we have something much more powerful. We'll cut to John Lithgow in the audience looking not angry but slightly disappointed.  Dion  Yes, that's what you.

Their eyes meet across a crowded gorge that may be the portal to hell, and from that moment Miles Teller and Anya Taylor Joy are falling, falling deep... into The Gorge. But, are you joining them in the fall into love or something worse?  Or are you sitting on the rim, looking down and taking pot-shots? Our review team is full this week with Peta and Jill on both sides of Apple TV+'s gorge, Dion as the evil corporate overseer, and in tonights performance the portal to hell will be played by Quinny.

Captain America: Brave New World In Captain America: Brave New World we follow on from the events of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Eternals, The Incredible Hulk, Winter Soldier, Endgame, Civil War and lets be honest here, 30 something other Marvel films and an indeterminate amount of TV shows.

Nothing political to see here at all... Dion, Jill and Quinny are each other's wing-people for this high flying adventure! Synopsis Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

A Different Man This week we are looking A Different Man, at a film that takes some pretty bold and experimental swings at a subject that many would be uncomfortable with; facial difference and the experiences of the people who live with it. Sebastian Stan takes on the role of Edward; a shy actor who has facial difference (it is not mentioned but it seems to be Neurofibromatosis type 1 or NF1). His life is upended when he tries an experimental procedure and suddenly his face is no longer different. It's multi layered, complex and very very odd. The whole team is in for this one and there's plenty to talk about here. Enjoy! Synopsis An aspiring actor undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. However, his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare as he becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost. https://youtu.be/sIK2LCOmz8o A huge thank you to all our wonderful weirdos who tune into to each episode of the show, especially those of you who have facial difference or in fact, any kind of difference... who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Companion Ain't love grand? Is there anything more delightful that the excitement and drama of a new relationship? Well, if it ends in someone covered in blood and multiple dead or dismembered bodies strewn around the lake-side mansion of an Eastern European multi millionaire... then maybe there's a few things that are better. Companion is the new, dark, genre-hopping comedy, starring Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher with thriller undertones and a smattering of rom-com for those of you who like the sweetness. It's also been rather divisive among the crew, so listen in and hear what Jill, Peta, Dion and Quinny have to argue over! Synopsis A weekend getaway turns bloody and violent when a subservient android that's built for human companionship goes haywire. In this episode we also discussed: The Royal Rumble!!!

Severance and Skeleton Crew This week we are dipping our toes into a strange and disquieting corner of psychological sci-fi and then going on a child-friendly jaunt through inner and outer space! Most people don't see Severance as particularly child-friendly, but it's all in how you read it. And Skeleton Crew may not feel like a psychological exploration of the self, the Id, and reality through the lense of dystopian corporate misery... but that's only coz you're not digging deep enough! The "Innies" of Dion and Peter are teamed up with the Space Pirates of Quinny and Jill on this very confusing rollercoaster of confusion. Enjoy! Synopsis “Skeleton Crew” follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy, crossing paths with the likes of Jod Na Nawood, the mysterious character played by Law.   https://youtu.be/VpLELtF8PUc A huge thank you to all our Innies, Outies and space pirates who listen (perhaps) to each episode of the show, especially those of you Outies who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Two for Wednesday Sophomore seasons of TV can make or break a show. You can hit gold for one season, but can you follow it up? In this episode we look at some of the second seasons entering the market right now, including Arcane, The Diplomat and Silo and then look back at times from the past when maybe the second bite of the TV pie, was more sink than swim.

The Apprentice As the world looks on in disbelief at a system that has seemingly shifted towards the far right and the election of a convicted felon, we thought it was about time to have a look at what may be a really interesting and intelligent movie about a really awful person. Or two, in fact: Donald Trump as played by Sebastian Stan and Roy Cohn as portrayed by Jeremy Strong. The title The Apprentice is interesting as it encompasses a reference to  Trump's later TV show, but also his role in learning at the foot of Roy Cohn, as an apprentice to his particular brand of deal making. Or as others have called it; Vileness. The whole crew is in for this one though many of us wish we weren't. The second half of the show we cover topics like: Look Back (anime): http://youtu.be/Z9b4m-khnzM?si=ZdokrZswA2efNsWR Godzilla's 70th birthday: https://youtu.be/YF7kFeFeZ9M?si=81Mch5D0Qgj7oru6 Queen of Tears https://youtu.be/Gg2D8zrzlOA?si=tCUXYstqBYmHV21Q Lin Manuel Miranda's new concept album of "The Warriors" https://youtu.be/D2JxjF434YE?si=ki6_AW45XvlwmpKx Please note this episode was recorded before the election and as such still features elements of hope and humour https://youtu.be/nlaZ447cKvU A huge shout-out to the voters, and fans of democracy who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story occasionally a single interpretation of a character becomes so indelibly linked to that character, that the world will be unable to see it as anyone else for potentially generations. These performances become iconic, embedded into the fabric of our reality. For many Moses will always look like Charlton Heston, God will sound like Morgan Freeman and Dorothy will always Be Judy Garland. So to will Superman always be Christopher Reeve. Nearly 50 years on he is still intrinsically tied to the part. And even though his later life was changed by a tragic accident, he still embodied the spirit of a hero throughout. This documentary explores his life, his challenges and unpacks what made him a hero for so many. Due to Jill being the only person who caught the film this episode also includes reviews of two other films: Nightbitch: Starring Amy Adams - in which a new mother tries to cope with motherhood and also at night becomes a dog. https://youtu.be/918prRymA-U?si=dCmw98G9noL10zOW   and Lee: Starring Kate Winslet -  Based on a true story of Lee Miller a model turned photographer who then turned her lens onto the human face of suffering in World War 2. https://youtu.be/DmFYkiUAAA8?si=__MIt6IaPogI4UvZ   A huge shout-out to the magnificent lady dogs, Lady war journalists and super heroes who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

The Substance Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. You should try this new product, The Substance. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect, you. And there's only one rule: You share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy. Right? If you respect the balance… what could possibly go wrong? Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley take on this incredibly incisive look at the world of female stars and what happens when they age; by way of Director Coralie Fargeat's careful eye. Jill, Dion and the younger hotter version of Quinny (who disappointingly looks exactly the same) are here for this exploration of body dysmorphia, female disempowerment, sexual politics and showering people in gouts of blood and viscera. It's a good time! Synopsis Elisabeth Sparkle, renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday as her boss fires her. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself. In this episode we also cover the following topics: PAX 2024 Cult of the Lamb: https://youtu.be/ctX3jVORkkk?si=4VqmK0dv4eRmaz-R Joker 2 Folie a Dux: https://youtu.be/_OKAwz2MsJs?si=zpSDJl-z6vOLytIy Megalopolis: https://youtu.be/pq6mvHZU0fc?si=I2V_Ht3GL6zryEM0 How to Make Gravy : https://youtu.be/K_Fwe9Q6NB0?si=M-TiRin5VyAFQKDg The Office (Australia) https://youtu.be/S2VzpidF5Sg A huge thank you to all our beautiful people who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you young enough and pretty enough to join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Wolfs Wolfs is the grammatically problematic new Apple TV movie starring the charisma power duo of Brad Pitt and George Clooney. They take on the role of "fixers" who have been called to deal with a dead young man in a high profile D.A.'s expensive hotel room. Hilarity ensues. The whole team is back for this one though lets be honest due to Covid, Jill's viewing of the film may have been entirely in another state of consciousness. ;) Synopsis Two rival fixers cross paths when they're both called in to help cover up a prominent New York official's misstep. Over one explosive night, they'll have to set aside their petty grievances and their egos to finish the job. https://youtu.be/A48Torb3K6Q This week's show also covers a bunch of other bits and bobs we have been watching, here's a list of the topics!

Magical Menagerie - Show-Cuterie! This week we are calming down from all our international travels and interstate excursions... our Movie Premieres, interviews and general excitingness... This week we are plonking ourselves firmly on the couch and checking out the new TV that has dropped into our streaming services in a "Magical Menagerie" of Witches, Wizards, Goblins and Gangsters as well as the occasional Penguin. We are sharing our thoughts on three high profile premium format spinoff shows that are the talk of the televisual town; the Wandavision follow-up "Agatha All Along", The second season of the divisive "Rings of Power" and the spinoff to Matt Reeves The Batman, the equally cleverly titled "The Penguin"... The crew is all back on deck as we surf these airwaves and round up the good the bad and the occasionally naked! Apologies to all our regular Twitch viewers for the quality of this weeks show, technical issues really did us a number. But the Podcast is about as slick as it always is. So maybe just go listen to that... https://youtu.be/mkJ2N55-wLQ?si=4HqX07mUkWA-DekU A huge thank you to all our regular Coven of Witches, Wizards and weirdos (and any who are neither) who listen avidly to each show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Transformers One You got the touch!!! Now get into this podcast and prepare for the POWER! With the upcoming release of the new Transformers animated film we have had a big week of talking about Transforming robots and "plastic crack". Regular host Quinny is joined by special guests Lisamaree Chiu and Jason Murray from the Transformers Collectors Club of Australia to get down and dirty with this exciting, lore heavy re-exploration of the Transformers story on the big screen. SYNOPSIS TRANSFORMERS ONE is the untold origin story of OPTIMUS PRIME (Chris Hemsworth) and MEGATRON (Brian Tyree Henry), one day to be sworn enemies, but now close friends; Orion Pax and D-16. Two working class miners struggling to rise above their life of servitude. All that changes however, when they find a map to a lost artifact called the Matrix of Leadership. They are joined by B-127 (Bumblebee) and Elita One on their epic journey that will change the fate of Cybertron forever. But we know you want MORE, so as part of this weeks show, with huge thanks to Access Reel, we got the opportunity to not only go to the Australian Premiere of the film, but also sit down with the Director Josh Cooley, and the producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura!

Speak No Evil In this US Blumhouse remake of Speak No Evil, (a blisteringly fast-turnaround of the Danish original film from 2022 of the same name) James McAvoy, Aisling Franciosi, Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy learn the true meaning of making new friends as an adult: abject horror. Parenting, social niceties, politeness and vicious murder and death all play their part in this extremely well thought out "Elevated Horror". the real question comes in when we explore how necessary it might be, given the original came out barely 2 years prior and was also mostly in english. Dion and Peta are out this week, so Jill and Quinny are going though the horror show together. Errata: in the podcast Quinny regularly says the other version of the film is Dutch. it is not, it is Danish, and it was released in 2022, not 2023. We apologize for the mistake. Synopsis A dream holiday turns into a living nightmare when an American couple and their daughter spend the weekend at a British family's idyllic country estate. In this episode we also cover topics such as: The Perfect Couple The Franchise Kaos Lower Decks Season 5 https://youtube.com/live/AZRT_FrNBt4 A huge thank you to all our friendly psyhopaths and killers listen avidly to each edition of the show (and The Bangles, probably), especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Terminator Zero There may be no fate but what we make, but if this new animated take on the time travelling killer robot franchise is to be believed, there may be no fate at all! Before Terminator Zero we have had 6 Terminator movies, a Machinima series (?) a TV show exploring the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey interactions of Skynet, the Terminators and the human survivors lead by John Connor. Now for the first time we're exploring what the rest of the world was doing at the same time... in Anime form thanks to Production IG and Netflix! We're all in the time bubble for this episode, though as we're all in the buff, our eyes are staying very firmly above the neck. SYNOPSIS In 1997 Tokyo, Malcolm Lee is developing Kokoro, an AI system intended to compete with Skynet. A day before Judgment Day, Lee finds himself and his three children pursued by an unknown robot assassin and a mysterious soldier from the year 2022 has been sent to protect him. https://youtube.com/live/DjTYDRszz0k?feature=share In this episode we also discussed: Trap Slow Horses Only Murderers in the Building and The Legend of Vox Machina A huge thank you to all our regular robotos who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

The Crow People once believed that when a franchise dies, a crow carries it to the land of the dead (direct to video). But sometimes, something so bad happens to a film series that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the franchise can't rest. The Crow is that franchise, and despite it languishing in Development Hell for nearly 20 years it has now been resurrected to shamble onto the screen once more. Caw, Caw, Bang! it's a new Crow film! Dion, Quinny and Jill are the revenants haunting this review, and in the post show they also talked about the following: Megalopolis: https://youtu.be/j9_nPeKnpfE?si=S7gYv-1b4FAJpXH6 Drag Race: https://youtu.be/cc9lK6UTduM?si=ElfBSegkEpLXAeb_ Tales of the TMNT: https://youtu.be/qZo7A_XBNeE?si=GonKFdfqah8FhN0U The Penguin: https://youtu.be/sfJG6IiA_s8?si=a3ZmlD2Q4h0hWHfb Mortal Kombat: https://youtu.be/NYH2sLid0Zc?si=iLejNmPei_5EAc1B Synopsis Soulmates Eric Draven and Shelly Webster are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Draven returns to seek bloody revenge against the killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right. https://youtube.com/live/vO3MaX0zhME A huge thank you to all our goths, emos and sad-lads who listen avidly to each edition of the show (and The Cure, probably), especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Sunny In a future where our closest personal assistants are cutesy robots with giant heads, how do we cope if they decide they don't like us? Rashida Jones stars in Sunny this stylish and bizarre Apple TV sci-fi series which clashes robotics, grief, the Yakuza and '60s Japanese pop music into a fusion nobody was expecting. The whole crew is on board for this one, wether they be cute Japanese robots, miserable alcoholics or morally questionable Yakuza folks... Synopsis Suzie, an American woman living in Kyoto whose husband and son vanished in a plane crash, receives a domestic robot from her husband's robotics company. https://youtube.com/live/pIX-bPn0sqI And in their post-review discussion they cover topics like: The Office Australia Wondla: Jackpot: A huge thank you to all our regular robotos who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Alien: Romulus We are now 9 films deep into the Alien cinematic franchise (if you include the AVP films, which we do) and we are really getting to the point where marrying the lore of the early films to the later ones has become a full time job. Well, let us introduce you to Alien: Romulus, the hardest worker in that full time job... Who along with their spiritual sibling, the game Alien: Isolation, and Alien: Covenant they are the heavy lifters of the Alien Lore wheelbarrow. It's not all just backstory and religious allegories though, this new film is chocked full with action, horror, tension and quotes from other films in the series. *Slaps roof* you can fit SO many quoted lines in this thing! Dion, Quinny and Jill are your terrified survivors of this horror show, and we're still waiting to find out if the "Facehugger incident" at the premiere will result in anything untowards. Synopsis Space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life-form in the universe while scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station. https://youtube.com/live/Fgf5WU2PDLA Other Topics covered in this episode: Alien: Monday https://youtu.be/ShGElGusepA?si=39k30SPp-ZoOqpQu Kraven the Hunter Trailer: https://youtu.be/I8gFw4-2RBM?si=ZBrRa_H3zjZDci8g Umbrella Academy Season 4 https://youtu.be/J--H5NbTHf8?si=17WU2U-kIgXyI_Ya As always, the company thanks you for your input to the Weyland Yutani conversation on the Twitch stream, live on each Tuesday (or Wednesday) night at 7:30pm AEDST.

Time Bandits We are turning back time to 1981 and at the same time it's 2024 (in fact we're jumping all around the timeline, and all over the magical map)!  In 1981 Time Bandits was a Terry Gilliam film nominally aimed at kids with a stacked cast and a deeply weird premise. Time Bandits in 2024 is an Apple TV original series directed by Taika Waititi with a deeply weird cast and a stacked premise. Is it actually any good? Let's find out together shall we? Synopsis Young history buff Kevin (Craig Warnock) can scarcely believe it when five weirdos emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. In this show we also talked about some other fun topics, which are well worth checking out. We talk a bit about: Batman: Caped Crusader - the new animated show on Amazon Prime Star Trek: Prodigy - The surprisingly good second season of which is on Netflix right now. Trap - the new film from M. Night Shyamalan and the upcoming wave of D&D based Lego Minifigs coming soon! A huge thank you to all our regular weirdos and bandits (and any who are neither) who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Deadpool and Wolverine It's the culmination of the Deadpool trilogy.  It's the wrap up of 24 years of X-men films and FOX owned superheroes, plus it's the gentle nudging of the Mutant agenda into the 616 cinematic universe... and it's the ONLY MARVEL Movie coming out this year. It was always going to be huge! We just didn't know HOW huge. Huge Jackman that is! Sorry. It's the biggest summer blockbuster this year and its more chock-o-block with references and cameos and in jokes than one of our usual podcast episodes. But is it actually any good?! Listen in dear friends and find out! The whole team are gon' give it to ya this time round. With Dion and Quinny arguing over who gets the tight red suit and who gets the claws. Meanwhile Peta and Jill are off saving the multiverse instead! Deadpool's peaceful existence comes crashing down when the Time Variance Authority recruits him to help safeguard the multiverse. He soon unites with his would-be pal, Wolverine, to complete the mission and save his world from an existential threat. As always, a meta-aware thank-you to the variants and forgotten cameos who join in with the heroic conversation on the Twitch stream, live on each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDST.

Star Wars: The Acolyte Somewhere along the line Star Wars became a Small screen universe, where the tales of Jedi and Sith and rebellions and empires got compressed into episodic dramas. The Acolyte continues the trend but now asks some very pointed questions about the Jedi, their unwavering belief in what is "right" and their complete lack of oversight. It's mind-bogglingly expensive, its incredibly divisive, and it's made the anti-woke brigade VERY angry. It must be Star Wars! Dion, is going deep nerd, Jill is Gonking, and Quinny is the droid you're looking for in this occasionally heated podcast review. Synopsis: An investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…. As always, a very force-ful thank-you to the imperial remnants and New Republic types who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live on each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDST. And an especially huge thanks to any of you Force users who are kind enough to support us by Jedi-Mind-Tricking others into putting a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch... every bit helps us to get that sweet-sweet star wars merch.

Following cold on the heels of the original movie; Twister, 28 years later we are ready to get blown away by Twisters: the sequel that feels more like a straight remake than a true follow on from the story. But who cares right? Big wind goes swoosh! Hillbillies go "Yee-Haw!", and little budget line goes up... The whole team is in the house for this one, but Peta has taken the twister by the tail and lead us into a rewatch of the original film as well. While, Jill and Dion are out re-enacting their favourite moments, Quinny is taking on the role of the F5 twister with great gusto. Synopsis Haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado, Kate Cooper gets lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. She soon crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures. As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves in a fight for their lives as multiple systems converge over central Oklahoma.

Welcome to Wrexham Welcome to Wrexham is definitely not the kind of show we would normally ever cover on The Periodic Table, lets get that out front now. But in much the same way Ted Lasso was also not the kind of thing we thought we would ever get invested in, (and then gave it perfect scores!) Wrexham slides in behind the goal posts of our hearts, and scores a ripper goal from the square, and nobody is offside with it at all! The team on the field tonight was essentially a striker and a Goalie, but hot damn, Jill and QUinny kicked some reviewing goals with this one! And the help of the chat, i'm pretty sure we won the night! Synopsis Docuseries chronicling the purchase and stewardship of Wrexham AFC, one of professional football's oldest clubs, by two Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. A huge thank you to all our Supporters and flag waving Wrexham fans who have joined the chorus for the show each week, often bringing their own Paul mullin style enthusiasm to the proceedings, (we're almost sure they see this as them joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream).

Dion is away, but Quinny, Jill and Peta are playing the music and lighting the lights on this muppet show tonight... Synopsis: "Ideas Man" takes us into the mind of the singular creative visionary; Jim Henson, from his early years puppeteering on local television advertisements, to the worldwide success of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and beyond. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard captures Henson's restless creativity, ambition, and artistic evolution in the style and spirit of his complex subject.

Sugar "A genre-bending contemporary take on the private detective story set in Los Angeles," this week's review follows John Sugar, a private investigator recruited by a wealthy movie producer to investigate the disappearance of his granddaughter. As simple as the premise sounds, in the world of John Sugar everything is definitely not what it seems. The show is a smaller more intimate affair this week, with half the team either boarding or disembarking from planes as we record. So its Quinny and Peta playing the roles of Private Eye and the "dame wearing red"... in your heart of hearts, you know who is who. Synopsis: Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long-buried.

ATLAS In March 2014 a game was released, a game in which a lone pilot would fight a futuristic war both inside and outside of an AI driven Mech suit. That game was called Titanfall. This is not that game. This is a netflix movie called Atlas; a film about a lone pilot in an AI driven Mech Suit fighting a futuristic war, both in and out of the suit. It's totally different. The mech suits are filled this week with DION, and QUINNY as the AI guidance systems and Jill and Peta the competent but angry pilots... Our only hope of enjoying this movie? To laugh at it copiously...from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Synopsis: Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.  A huge thank you to all our AI overlords who download and process our audio each show, often adding binary comments of vague approval, (we process this as them joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream).

Shogun This weeks review is not of the '80s 5 part serial based on James Clavell's seminal book, Shogun... but in fact the 2024 10 part serial based on James Clavell's seminal book, Shogun... just for clarity. It is the fictionalised semi historical story of John Blackthorne, a navigator/pilot who winds up in Japan and rises through the ranks of the Shogunate in a time of incredible upheaval. It also includes some extraordinary swearing and blood and guts. In this kabuki-like episode the part of the Anjin will be played by Quinny-san whilst the dangerous wannabe Shogun will be played by Dion-sama. Our terrifyingly smart translator come badass warrior will be played by Jill-kun. Shōgun follows "the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds, John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.

They then had adventures in the Sandman adjacent universe of the Dead Boy Detectives! following on from an appearance in Doom Patrol this newly recast and reimagined story now nestles neatly in the Netflix fold.
