The Marvel Cinematic Universe has fired a few massive hits off over the years, but have any been as massive (and dare we say, iconic) as Thor: Ragnarok? With its heavy 80s/90s feel, brave casting and a fresh new take on Hemsworth's po-faced Thor, Ragnarok does space adventure in a way that Star Wars: The Last Jedi simply cannot. We're not entirely sure how this movie has proven so memorable, but we do have an idea. Listen in as Christian Cawley and James McLean investigate how the amazing retro-themed visual and audio experience of Thor: Ragnarok has grabbed its audience. BeyondKasterborous brings you weekly discussion and news from the worlds of Doctor Who, The X Files, Star Wars and more. --- Follow us online at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podkasterborous/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/kasterbeyond iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/doctor-who-the-podkast-with-a-k/id1045277918?mt=2 Website: http://www.beyondkasterborous.com
#TheLastJedi has caused a storm among #StarWars fans, but is it deserved? And does it really matter when the film is riding high and average moviegoers are loving it? Whether Snoke's early exit, inter-galactic FaceTime, Poe's "toxic masculinity", Hux's righteous passion, or Luke's final act, there is so much that people are disagreeing on. Christian Cawley and James McLean put their heads together to discuss what they love and hate about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. PLUS: pencils.
Star Wars, Blade Runner, Alien, Terminator -- all movies with special editions, directors' cuts, and reboot/sequel/prequel continuations that fundamentally alter the original stories. What's it all about? Are these franchises irreparably damaged by the changes? Do fans have the last word on what is canon, or the creator? James McLean and Gareth Kavanagh discuss.
Christian Cawley chats with Gareth Kavanagh in the latest BeyondKasterborous podcast, focusing on the career of Douglas Adams, taking in Monty Python, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (books, audio, TV, and cinema), a brief mention of Doctor Who, The Meaning of Liff, and even Hyperland. All of this nice leads to details from Gareth of his latest independent Room 5064 theatre production, We Apologise for the Inconvenience, which tells the story of Douglas Adams attempting to overcome writer's block...

Hitting subscription channel CBS All Action (and Netflix in the UK), Star Trek: Discovery introduces a new take on the Star Trek franchise. This week, Christian Cawley and James McLean investigate the new world, which takes place within the old continuity, and introduces characters such as Michael Burnham, Saru, some brand new Klingons.... and, um, Sarek. Why is Star Trek so welded to its established history? Does the new approach (character-led storytelling) work? And why did we wait two episodes for Jason Isaac to appear? These, and other questions, may (or may not) be answered in this week's BeyondKasterborous!
PodKast with a K co-founder Brian Terranova has decided to step down from the BeyondKasterborous team. This week, Christian Cawley remembers some of the high points of his pan-Atlantic collaboration with Brian, covering their work together on Kasterborous.com, the Time Leech comic strip, and of course, the PodKast with a K. Listen out for some clips from the first few podKasts back in 2007.

James McLean and Gareth Kavanagh take an in-depth look at Dino De Laurentiis' memorable 1980 movie Flash Gordon in this brand new BeyondKasterborous podcast. Considering the quality of the actors, the relationship between the movie and its forebears, and the soundtrack -- not to mention some contentious issues with the direction and post-production -- you've probably already hit play. If not, you're surely bored, and should consider destroying a planet...
A bunch of famous names on the international convention circuit are getting together to create a serialised fictional work set in and around those very locations. In this week's BeyondKasterborous, Star Trek: Voyager actor Manu Intiraymi tells us about The Circuit, his concept, the actors and actresses involved, and how fans can play an active part in production...

It's podKast time! While we're busy working on our various satellite projects for BeyondKasterborous, we've got a #DoctorWho commentary for you, in which Christian Cawley, Brian A. Terranova and James McLean take a look at the oft-maligned, original Doctor-lite episode, Love & Monsters...
In this week's PodKast with a K, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova reveal the latest stage in the podKast's evolution: BeyondKasterborous, our new home on the web! Familiar name? Well, maybe, but if you want to know why we selected it, and where we're going next, then it's time to hit play. And welcome a new era (which will, no doubt sound exactly the same as the last...)!
