Films & Filth

This is an oft forgotten, psychedelic colour blast of science fiction featuring some heavy hitters in the cast and some wild design. It is a good movie? That's up for debate, but it is undoubtedly an endlessly fascinating production. We get deep into that, as well as FX tips on how to turn a butt into a vampire. Disney's first live action take on sci-fi is a strange one indeed. And who better to b...

We’re digging the film, but let’s be real, we’re going for the jugular of the comic book mythos. Still, Luke was blindsided by the quality of the DC Animated Universe, and Matt thinks there is nothing better than RoboCop voicing Batman. But the real reason we had to get to Batman was so that we could show Luke’s past attempt to actually be Batman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_86IACz5lk8&t=...

Matt and Luke get deep into the underpinnings of this very slow, but transcendental sci-fi classic by Stanley Kubrick. Do we let Dave in the pod doors, or just spin Pink Floyd on vinyl? Listen and learn. Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

It’s the big daddy of the (non-Japanese) monster movies and Luke has been chomping at the bit to chat about it. Meanwhile, Matt watched it long ago in film school. Hear us beat our chests at the gates of Skull Island!!!

Matt thinks this is not only a solid sci-fi, but one of the best (defacto) Trek films. Luke thought this was just a comedy to quote, but now he's looking at geek fan culture then and now. Could you make this movie today?

Oh Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars, Give me those Star Wars, Don't let them end. Oh Star Wars, If they should bar wars, Please let these Star Wars Stay.

Star Wars Month Continues! We’re gonna get controversial in this one because we’re getting properly stuck into Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Guess what: we bloody love it!

Okay, we covered a shit film for Star Wars month but now we’re getting stuck into some legit, canonical, George Lucas Star Wars. This should be good, right? Right?

We’re having a bit of a Star Wars month here in the Sci-Fi Sanctuary, preparing ourselves for the end of the saga when the Rise of Skywalker hits us at the end of the month. For now we’re . . . enjoying? . . . the most seasonal of the Star Wars films.

Here’s quite possibly the very first science fiction feature film. It’s a classic, a masterpiece, a touchstone and lots of other words that mean it’s very old and very important, but how is it as a film? Listen and find out!

Our newest film yet! We recorded this one right after leaving the cinema, so it’s something a little new and different for us. The episode is divided into three parts: first, there’s totally spoiler-free chat about the film’s quality. Then we get into the themes of the film. Finally, we deal with some specific moments and details.

Hey look! We’re talking about a film released this year. We can occasionally be relevant when we put our minds to it. This one was pretty unanimously derided when it came out, but Matt and Luke think there’s a little more discussion to be had than that.

This week, we’re talking about legitimately one of the greatest films ever made, and a personal favorite of both Matt and Luke. Plus, it stars the greatest actor of all time: Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you want to check out the Terminator knock-off Matt made when he was 12, you can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OUWeQ_hC_s Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitt...

21 Years before Megan Fox and Shia Lebouf starred in Transformers, Leonard Nimoy and Orson Welles starred in . . . Transformers. Matt was alive in the 80s and Luke bloody loves Transformers, so get ready for some dumb chat about a very dumb film.

We’re finally doing it. Skipping the foreplay and getting right into Joss Whedon’s cinematic directorial debut: Serenity. Spoiler alert, we really bloody like it. Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

Hello friends! Here’s a little bonus to keep you amused between episodes. This was originally recorded as the first in our Firefly podcast, Brown Pants. Unfortunately we lost the recordings of episodes 2 and 3. Then we kind of gave up on making a Firefly podcast and made this podcast instead. Next week: We get to the juicy stuff and actually cover Serenity (the feature length movie that comes afte...

Here’s the film our podcast is kind of named after. Matt’s watched it hundreds of times, but doesn’t know what Tinder is. Luke watches it for the first time but has been rejected on Tinder many a time. Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

This was recorded a while before even the first hints of the Marvel/ Sony news, so don’t expect any discussion of that. Instead, you get some Spidey fanboying from Luke, some unexpected Sam Raimi trivia from Matt and lots of Willem Dafoe love.

Here’s something novel - a podcast where two white guys talk about science fiction movies! Matt and Luke start at the beginning with a little bit of good old fashioned Star Trek.
