484: Big Finish recast Capaldi, Matt Smith joins new Star Wars movie, and more

This week's show is a news round up, looking at the key scifi/cult TV and movie stories of the past few weeks.

Did you know the Twelfth Doctor had been recast by Big Finish? That there was a new Star Wars movie with Matt Smith? Or an upcoming Blu-ray release of the BBC's Chronicles of Narnia adaptation?

If not, you'll learn about them here, along with news of Thunderbirds - FAB at 60, and Hammer's The Curse of Frankenstein getting a 4K remaster.

Christian Cawley brings you five key stories, and when that's all done, Patreon members get an exclusive "after show" chat between Christian, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh, recorded in 2024.
