  • Episode 37 - Highlander & The Book of Elsewhere
    Mar 17 2025

    Wherein Andy and Justice ressurect the conversation of immortality by looking at the the 1986 film Highlander and the China Miéville and Keanu Reeves 2024 novel The Book of Elsewhere. What is the psychological nature of being an immortal? It seems to be something people wish for, and yet it is often depicted as something that inevitably leads to severe depression and a desire for death. We also discuss the curious situation of a China Miéville co-authorship and his recyclying of the transporter problem from Star Trek. Topics range from Christopher Lambert's bizzare acting choices to the 1980s' fascination with lightning and sparks to Keanu Reeves' refusal to shed the John Wick appearance. Will every character he plays from now on look the same?

  • Short # 66 - The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer
    Feb 13 2025

    Wherein Justice and Andy launch themselves into the conversation about the recently released trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. What does the retro-futuristic setting imply for its space in the MCU? Has anybody ever thought the powers of Marvel's First Family were cool? We sure don't, and we know you don't either. Ultimately, we wonder if this film can redeem the MCU or the failed Fantastic Four adaptations of the past. It probably won't.

  • Short # 65 - Star Trek: Section 31 Review
    Jan 31 2025

    Wherein Andy and Justice bemoan the horrifying experience of subjecting themselves to the new film Star Trek: Section 31. This marks the 14th Star Trek film and, given its quality, possibly the last for the foreseeable future. Why does this film exist? How could Michelle Yeoh (an outstanding artist) consent to this film's release? There is no one to blame but Alex Kurtzman.
