Films & Filth

This week we stare into the insectoid eyes of a sci-fi Hammer flick that doesn't shy on the occult.  Electrical Satan in the sky. Ken Ammi joins us again.  He's written a truly impressive number of books and gives presentations on topics such as religion, pop culture, and the occult.  Themes that obviously tie pretty well in this one.  Have a deep dive into his worldview at his website: http://tru...

The best superhero films really are the ones that throw the book out of the window and get away with it.  We've brought along animation aficionado and gaming guru, Sean Bell, to work it on out with us. Sean jams podcasts as a pro on the Computer Game Show.  If you've got an iota of gaming love in you, it's time to head for: https://tcgs.co/ Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things lik...

Matt and Luke had to call up Tommy Chong to get a contact high because there's, like, no weed here in Japan.  Our regular hype-man Mark Malek is also in on the call, though Matt fails to properly introduce him. It's the end of our non-sci-fi cheat month, but this one can be sci-fi if you get high enough.  Also, we talk about a fair amount about Godzilla. I could just say type Tommy Chong's name in...

Bringing in Dee Flowered, the Doris Day of dropping trou, for our continuing month of films that are not sci-fi. Matt wanted to do this from, like, episode two, but found an excuse right abouts now.

Welcome to the Celluloid Sanctuary!  For the month of May, we'll be covering a few films that are definitely NOT sci-fi.  We're starting up the engine to cover the quintessential March-December romance film.  To be honest, I'm not sure if there are others. Today's guest is a regular, Andrew Shearer.  You can see what he's up to with his filmmaking over at Gonzoriffic: https://www.instagram.com/gon...

We're using Noah as a springboard to get into all the bits and bobs that revolve around flood stories the world round.  We are generally an audio podcast, but today's guest David Mathisen has some images to share with you, and you can get into it with the raw video here: https://youtu.be/ium9ArENjF0 Then, why not get into David Mathisen's work a bit deeper here: https://www.starmythworld.com/ Plea...

Joining us is returning guest John Champion.  He's well steeped in 70's sci-fi weirdness from here to Bond, and takes the deepest dive into all things Star Trek here: https://www.missionlogpodcast.com/ The role of Luke today is mostly played by Mark Malek.  Matt screwed up the schedule, so Mark is pinch-hitting.  Hopefully he's put some music of his own up here by now: https://stunrunner.bandcamp....

We done like us some monster flicks in the Sanctuary, and this is one of the better ones Hollywood has produced. Joining us is Jake Rockatasky, who looks into the cult-like nature of a movement so controversial I'm not going to put the name in the description.  It's probably all for naught since it's in the link, though: https://www.qanonanonymous.com/ Please do rate, review, and subscribe us on A...

Don't be fooled by the smell of early 1960's sci-fi cheeze - if you dig in you'll find concepts that are not just ahead of its time, but even ahead of Philip K. Dick.  You likely haven't seen this one, but through the magic of YouTube and public domain, you should first give this early taste of sci-fi A.I. at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVgldYEoSoA&t=2133s Matt learned...
