In the guest chair this week is Jonathan Liang, who spent many a car ride around the time of the millenium doing Matt and Jo-Na-Thon's Sci-Fi Sanctuary.  None of that is on tape.  But this is!

If you'd like to see what Rod Roddenberry is up to these days, watch Star Trek.  He's taken up the family business and is an executive producer on all of the modern series.  He is also the ring-leader of a fantastic series of science fiction podcasts (with a heavy Trek focus) over at this link: https://podcasts.roddenberry.com/ Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, T...

Tom is a British journalist who has written for Atlantic Today, The Independent, Newsweek, The Mirror, and the list goes on. His focus is a objective look at the military-industrial complex's influence on cinema and he co-wrote a fantastic book called "National Security Cinema," which focuses on that very thing.

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....

It seems the older the movie, the more ribald our conversation gets.  This one is from 1936 - you have been warned.

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...

We get into the next step of Marty McFly's time tripping - all those whiplash time currents that make up this pop culture bonanza.  Hoverboards, Pepsi Perfects, and 1989 Trump impersonation fuel this time trip. Joining us is Taylor Morden. Last year, during the initial 2020 lockdown, he organized Project 88, wherein people in quarantine recreated the 88 scenes of Back to the Future Part II.  Check...

Continuing our trek through Trek this week. Aging actors, creepy mind violations, and knee nuts are among our deep dives for this final voyage of the original cast. Joining us is James Farley, a co-host from the Computer Game Show Podcast. Actual the second of those guys to head into the Sanctuary. You’ll find that podcast here and do dig around on the site for Star Calls, which should certainly r...

Full disclosure - this film is not our geek niche, though we give full and due respect to that niche (at least until the sequel). In fact - this turned out to be Matt's first viewing of the film. So, to balance the scales, we've got a guest, Jonathan Meville, who has fully immersed himself in the making of this cult classic. He recently published a fantastic book, "A Kind of Magic: The Making of t...

"How about the space trip?" Space trip will be realized in the near future. As Apollo landed before for 30 years or more in the moon. you may do the mystical experience. We will offer a wonderful reception then. "Have a good trip!"

Ending our monster month with a whole lot of them damn bugs. Gotta kill them all!! That or get into all the socio-facist implications of this under the radar satire, which is far more fun to do in podcast form. To get all this rolling on the right track, we have today's guest, Tom Secker. Tom is a British journalist who has written for Atlantic Today, The Independent, Newsweek, The Mirror, and the...

Christmas bonus for you!! It may be television, but it rates with any of the Trek films. And we can do this because it's chronologically before Star Trek VI. Even better, we've got one of the story writers, Eric Stilwell, on as a guest. Along with writing this, he served as a production assistant and script coordinator for TNG, so the man has some tales to tell. Some of them are at his blog: https...

Gimmie your Christmas!! You can say it's not sci-fi, but let's not forget Turbo Man, jetpacks, and the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger exists is pretty sci-fi. Matt used to bum around on Christmas with guest Mark Malek while they both ignored their families, so he seemed like good fit here. See him bury himself or something in this year's Quaranstein: https://youtu.be/HZJzDgqZNOw Please do like, s...

While this is the most recent place to get your monster action - we're not sure it's the best. Nevertheless, there are quite a few monsters to discuss here. A bit of a weird one for us with Matt beaming in his end of the audio from the day room of a Japanese hospital - I guess that's fitting for a Godzilla flick. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple P...

We're continuing our plunge into the monstrous this month with this medium sized monster - a Diddy Kong if you will. It's a weird mismash of 30's film styles which is strangely also a direct sequel to King Kong.

We're kicking of our monster month at the Sci-fi Sanctuary with this one. It features those weird, off-brand, pre-Jurassic Park dinosaurs, but at least they've been animated by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. As an added side tangent, this is probably the closest we're going to get on covering "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twit...

Lots of "metas" to wade through with Jim Carrey's first notable foray into a more dramatic role. We think a few Deep Thoughts, consider what it takes to make a satisfying life. and hold the film up to the mirror of Gnosticism. And who better to join us on that journey than writer, podcaster, and deep diver into all things Gnostic, Miguel Conner. You can continue that dive with him over at his Aeon...

This one is a groundbreaking, early sci-fi feature - but it's also a mighty dry affair and serves up a heaping pile of 1950's weird racism. Matt and Luke try to unpack the ins and outs of this George Pal film about the end of the world.

It's the Trek film so bad it's been effectively booted out of canon. But is it really that bad? Once we did our best to get past William Shatner's admittedly entertaining ego, we had a rollicking time and got into those deep questions about if we "need our pain," and "What does God need with a starship?" Joining us for the ride is Scott Atkinson, who you hear every week anyway on our intro. For mo...
