    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.

    TPToA Podcast 406 – Perfect Blue

    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.

    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.

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).

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.

    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.

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!).

    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!).

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.

    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).

    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).

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.

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Once more we return to a post apocalyptic landscape filled with danger and uncertainty, though this time its not irradiated and the verdant green jungles are spilling over with life! We are returning to the Planet of the Apes for the beginning of possibly a whole new trilogy, set hundreds of years after the death of Caesar (Andy Serkis), this new story follows Noa (Owen Teague) a young Ape whose journey will bring him in contact with a speaking human, Raka; a charming Orangutan (Peter Macon) and Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand) a Royal Bonobo with delusions of grandeur. There's no rubber masks here, these Apes are 100% CGI and ready to kick ass. Quinny is taking the role of the benevolent but bald Orangutan, Dion will be playing the Silverback Western lowland Gorilla, while Peta and Jill are probably the two well dressed human women forming complete sentences over in the corner. Several generations in the future following Caesar's reign, apes are now the dominant species and live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
