Symptom 200. What an amazing journey over these last five years. For episode 200 we decided to imagine what it would be like if Sci-Fi Malady became huge and we became rich and famous. The answer of course is infighting, greed and insanity, resulting in us losing it all. Please enjoy what I think is our greatest production, symptom 200, Behind the Malady.

In February, well half of February, Sci-Fi Malady has found love. Well maybe, we know Ragemaster hates love stories and has the crew every action reviewed a pure love story? Well, they have now. This can only be great right? Pretty good? Ok? Can we shoot for Ok? It’s probably going to terrible. Or great. For sure great. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

It is here! Finally! We get to see the legendary Star Wars on the big screen one more time. The culmination of 42 years of story telling and the end of the Skywalker Saga. We find out that the best way to wrap up the “Skywalker Saga” is to tell us about how awesome Palpatine’s granddaughter is…?Yes, the final episode is all about how the Skywalker family failed to kill the Emperor, making Anakin’s sacrifice pointless, Leia lost the New Republic to the First Order and Luke ran and hide while Palpy healed up in hiding and secretly ran the first order, only to be foiled not by Ben Solo, who at least had some Skywalker blood…but by his own granddaughter Rey. Because why should the concluding trilogy of the Skywalker Saga be about them at all? It should about everyone but them and about how they were huge failures. The prophecy of brining balance to force? Meh, Rey killed the last Sith, who was ALL the Sith. Balance Smalance. All I can say is thank God this is over. Disney learned something from the failure of 8. Episode returned to feeling like Star Wars…but Rian Johnson left JJ in such a huge hole it was impossible to really dig out and this probably the best effort that could be made. The Mandalorian is good. The future of Star Wars is in good hands. Maybe whatever the next Trilogy is can build off that and return to being and feeling like Star Wars. Thank god this monstrosity that is 7, 8 and 9 is over. For us at Sci-Fi Malady they never happened. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

Hollywood, we don’t have a problem. In what we think is a first all three members of the Sci-Fi Malady crew have rated a movie a 10. We all agree that this movie is the perfect mix of drama, action, comedy and historical accuracy, combined with a moving and inspiration score and excellent cinematography and effects. Every scene is needed. No moment is wasted. The audience becomes engaged with characters and the drama is conveyed through the viewpoint of humanity and the astronauts family. Finally, what more can be said about the acting? It is a who’s who of the 90’s with an all star cast with many of these greats turning in one of their greatest performances. Apollo 13 is a fantastic movie that is about character, people and humanity at its core. It can be re-watched near infinitely and is simply a flawless masterpiece.

While we take a short break before getting into NASA November we are going to start uploading some of our interviews from Ghoulardifest. While there we met Don O’Malley from Don’s Breakfast Serial, a youtuber who reviews classic horror serial films and also creates his own serialized shorts. Don is also the owner of a rare edition Sci-Fi Malady collectors edition, last of its kind coaster. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

What’s new, we finish off September’s topic in October but its very early in October for once and October is Horror Month - so Tremors fits. right? This week we review Tremors 4, 5 and 6. Why? Well there just isn’t much to these films, although Scott tries to find a deep meaning in Tremors 5 and 6. What can we say. Four rips off back to future 3, 5 rips off everything ever made, Burt gets a son, Val and Rhonda’s daughter show up in 6, and yeah, the graboids find their way to the Canadian arctic, because, why the bleep not? Tremors 4, 5 and 6. three movies that never should been made, even Earnest from all the “Earnest Goes to…:” movies thinks so. Well maybe not, i have never asked the guy. ***Disclaimer, Sci-Fi Malady does not speak for “Earnest” from “Earnest goes to whatever” movies. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

July, or the last half of July and part of August, is James Cameron month at Sci-Fi Malady. We have already looked at ALIENS and Terminator, but this month we will look at his other films, such as Avatar and The Abyss and more. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

This one really isn’t a Sci-Fi movie, despite the Ragemaster’s best attempts to convince us. However, it is a well done action movie. District B13 is Taken meets Die Hard, meets Escape from New York. It is a fun, entertaining action film. This one wraps up Sci-Fi Malady’s summer vacation and leads us into our theme for July, James Cameron films. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

Sci-Fi Malady’s summer vacation continues with our review of The Host. It is a monster movie that makes a commentary on the evils of big government, society as a whole, and the goodness inherent in individuals. Mostly though, it is a Cloverfield Monster movie.

It is summer and that means vacations for many people. Sci-FI Malady is no different. In the month of June we are travelling around the world reviewing different sci-fi films from different countries. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

Well, anything April is running behind. See, we told you were out of ideas. Actually, it has just been a busy time for the Sci-Fi Malady crew and will continue to be so. However this week we discuss Alita Battle Angel, which is more is more difficult than one might think. There’s nothing movie breaking wrong with Alita. It is not full of J.J Abramsesque plot holes or mystery boxes, it stays mostly true to the source material and is absolutely brilliantly and painstakingly visually rendered. The score is wonderful and the acting is mostly fantastic with an exception or the two. The movie is a quantum leap forward in CGI rendering, producing a computer generated person that can realistically emote and move. The problem is that story wise there isn’t much here. Alita regains her memory, or some of it, Ido comes to terms with his daughter’s death, Alita’s boyfriend is doing terrible things to get to Zalem, and Vector and Nova are going to kill Alita because they know she has the power to maybe kill them? Although even this doesn’t make sense because Zalem prevailed against and army of Alita’s. How is one actually a threat? We some motorball games, which really serves the same roll as the pod racing scene in a Phantom Menace - add some badly needed action to a dull film - and some pretty cool fight scenes, which again, serve as the lightsaber battles in Phantom Menace. Alita is an origin story. The problem is origin stories come later, after you develop a character people care about in other movies. Even Phantom Menace was an origin story, telling how Vader, The Emperor and the Empire came to be. The story we should have seen is whatever Alita 2 and maybe 3 will be. After watching Alita fight an epic war to save Iron City from the clutches of Zalem and uplift an entire population of the oppressed, we might care more about a slow, boring origin story. Again, from a technical film making point of view, Alita is a fine movie. it was just released in the wrong order. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

Well, it is a sad day. A trailer for a new Star Wars Movie has dropped and even nerds don’t care. The consensus of the Sci-Fi Malady crew is, meh. Great, we brought Lando back for fan service and the Emperor laughing is cool. But we also get absurdity, like Rey jumping a tie fighter, and the Emperor being back. Episode 9 will probably be good. Maybe an excellent movie. The problem is all the characters we care about are dead now and we weren’t given enough time to pass the torch to the new characters. Instead were told here’s Rey, Finn and Po and you will like because we are killing off just about everyone else. Imagine if Han was killed at start of Empire and replaced with Lando. You like Lando because you had time to come to like Lando, not because you were told “here is the new character you WILL like because the MOUSE says so, LIKE THEM STUPID FAN, LIKE THEMMMMMMMM!”Episode looks action packed. Looks fun. The Emperor and Lando returning - awesome. How do you solve the problem of the entire rebellion fitting into the Millennium Falcon? How do you undo Rey being Rey Kenobody? Force Ghost Luke is uninteresting at best and how great of a performance as Lando can 900 year old Billy Dee Williams really be expected to give? It is not that this teaser looks bad, its just that I don’t care anymore because well, I just don’t care about these boring, paper thin characters that have replaced the one’s I loved. Sorry.

February is Neil Blomkamp month on Sci-Fi Malady. I could go into more detail or I could just let you listen to what will one be on the rumored and fabled Ragemaster Sings album.

Merry Christmas from Sci-Fi Malady!This week, its not really a Sci-Fi Malady as we review a decidedly non science fiction movie - the greatest Christmas movie ever - Die Hard. I know, I know, this is a science fiction show, why are you reviewing Die Hard. Well, because it is Christmas and I wanted to. Next week we are back to sci-fi, but for this week, yipee kai yay sickies and shoot the glass. Somehow, this movie is the first and only movie we all gave a 10. Sci-Fi Malady RSS

Nope, I didn’t go away again for months. I was asked by Thomas from Sci-Fi Malady if I was doing another war on Christmas rant last week and I said no. I really thought I wasn’t. Then I was sent a story about a woman getting a self righteous note from her neighbor that her dragon Christmas display was inappropriate and she needed to learn the true meaning of Christmas. So, that of course led to this installment of their is no war on Christmas. Disclaimer - I was raised Baptist. I consider myself a Christian who just avoids the hypocrisy of the Church. I still think there is no war on Christmas, just people who want to celebrate secular Christmas without have Jesus jammed down their throat. It doesn’t mean you can’t make Christmas all about Jesus. Them celebrating secular Christmas doesn’t diminish your religious Christmas. Quick Rants RSS
