Ben & Rob probe the 1993 abduction horror film ‘Fire In The Sky’, starring Robert Patrick and D. B. Sweeney. The film adaptation of Travis Walton’s book about his claims of terrifying alien abduction had special effects handled by none other than Industrial Light & Magic, the famed FX house responsible for some of the most effective science fiction of all time. But how much of this tale of...

Ben & Rob grab their tinfoil hats and scan the skies for ‘The McPherson Tape’; a 90’s bootleg that convinced thousands that aliens were here to steal your daddies!

Ben & Rob dream a lil’ dream of Christopher Nolan’s 2010 masterpiece ‘Inception’. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard and Ken Watanabe as dream thieves trying their darndest to plant ideas in rich lad Cillian Murphy’s head. One of Christopher Nolan’s biggest box office successes and a huge cultural touchstone for many, is this sad story of somnambulist...

Ben & Rob have their last bite of their ‘Goebbels’ Golden Grilled Cheese Sandwich Series’ with “Blood & Gold”, a brand new German made movie starring Robert Maaser, Marie Hacke, Florian Schmidtke and Alexander Scheer, and directed by Peter Thorwarth, maker of “Blood Red Sky”.

Ben & Rob pick a card and pull an ace with Christopher Nolan’s 2006 movie ‘The Prestige’, starring Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson in a tale of mystery, magic and murder.

Ben & Rob grill ‘Mad Heidi’, 2022’s crowdfunded Swiss-ploitation phenomenon. Directed by Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein, ‘Mad Heidi’ stars Alice Lucy, Max Rüdlinger and Casper Van Dien (of Starship Troopers fame) in a grindhouse horror comedy re-telling of the children’s classic tale ‘Heidi’ with tons of extra gore, guns and gouda. Will Heidi triumph over the Very Swiss Leader’s plan...

Ben & Rob tattoo ‘Memento’ onto the chest of their series covering every Christopher Nolan movie ever! Released in 2000 and starring Guy Pearce as a memory impaired widower, and Carrie Ann Moss and Joe Pantoliano as his two competing manipulators. Told in a series of black and white flashbacks and colour scenes played in reverse order, is there ANY way our hosts can make sense of this shattere...

Ben & Rob cover Lee Cronin’s 2023 movie ‘Evil Dead Rise’, slamming shut the book of the dead and bringing their Evil Dead series to a close. At least for now; if we’ve learned one thing about the Deadites, they’re fond of a comeback tour. ‘Evil Dead Rise’ follows two sisters, Beth and Ellie, whose lives take a horrific turn when they discover a book of the dead, the Necronomicon, in their apar...

Ben & Rob begin their epic adventure into every Christopher Nolan ever, starting with his 1998 no-budget debut ‘Following’. Made on a budget of just $6000, ‘Following’ stars Jeremy Theobald as a lonely young writer becoming trapped in a web of deceit by a talented career criminal. But does this film manage to achieve the greatness that would come to define its director’s later work? And what c...

We made it gang! One hundred damn episodes! We celebrate by inviting on our FIRST EVER guest, the incredible Martin Serene. We talk from Supergirl to Se7en, as well as the upcoming release of his short film Bacon - you are not going to believe the sheer quantity of film nuggets we've got for you to CONSUUUUME! Happy 100 gang!

Ahhhhhh ok.... Todays the day we start our journey into Nolan's Batverse with Batman Begins! The first dark gritty Batman movie to exist and caused waves through the DC fandom when it was compared to its fun, goofy, bright, colourful predecessors. We cover everything; Ben should've turned the saturation up, we need to replace the royal family with Bees, Gary Oldman is in literally everything (you...

The frantic fuckup that is Batman & Robin falls under the EME microscope - frankly we needed one to find any point to Joel Schumacher's second Batman film. We weren't expecting to find so much joy! George Clooney dons the latex in order to defeat Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy. Bane occurs. CONSUME!!!

Oh god, we knew this was coming... Burton got banned and Schumacher got shuffled in to sell some Happy Meals. Rob & Ben dissect the stinking corpse of Batman Forever (1995) and find very few bones in the meat-pile. Come with us investigate BatNipples, Alfred's dementia and the new social media marvel #KeatonSpits. CONSUME!

Ben & rob dive into Tim Burton's Gotham once more and hang out with a flightless bird and a woman re-animated by street pussy. Batman Returns (1992) might be the most divisive entry yet in our Bat-Series with Rob head over heels and left Ben furious. CONSUME!

Ben and Rob delve into the Yin and Yang of two totally opposite personalities that are co-dependent on the other in the pursuit of their conflicting goals - a topic they have absolutely no experience of whatsoever on this podcast. Tim Burton's 1989 gothic fantasy masterpiece with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson takes the EME boys through Jeremy Beadle, duality of man and why Tom Hardy is the Ban...

Today marks the start of our Batman journey and this incredible, wholesome, hilarious and most importantly, bat shit insane movie, is a great is a great place to start.

Join us as we travel back to the swinging 60's, respect some ducks and foil...

Ben & Rob dive in to Madness In The Method, the 2019 directorial debut of our favourite Asknewniversee: Jason Mewes. We cover why Rob doesn't want to define Mewes by his past, why Ben is a good person when laughs at pain, and why this film confuses them in wonderful and woeful ways. CONSUME!

Ben & Rob invite Lets Talk Horror Podcast to the bottom of the barrel they inhabit, and then get the shovel out to dig new lows. Samurai Cop (1991) was made on a budget that barely covers dinner - with wigs, plastic swords and utter disregard for basic safety. Or filmmaking for that matter. CONSUME!

"It's good to cry. It separates us from the animals. Shows you have a soul." This week we cover Kevin Smiths masterpiece of a Walrus Horror, Tusk. We know what you're thinking, "Another Walrus horror movie?! But theres already SO MANY!" BUT HEAR ME OUT... This one is insane. Join us as we journey into this fever dream of a creature feature/body horror/comedy/insane walrus movie and yet again, are...

Oh dear. This one broke Rob. Ben valiantly defends Kevin Smith's latest Askewniverse offering, Jay & Silent Bob:Reboot in the face of frankly irrational anger from his co-host. Featuring almost every actor and running joke from Smith's entire directing career, is this one movie too many or a loving send-off? CONSUME and find out.

The Bad Movie Cult boys join us for a look at the terrifying depths corporate America will sink down to in the name of forcing cheeseburgers into the mouths of children. Released in 1988, Mac & Me is an E.T ripoff part funded by Big Burger, with enough bizarre choices to fill a season. CONSUME!

Rob and Ben find themselves reflecting on their broken brains, the birthday of the podcast and DIY identity politics. Also they mention Clerks II, the 2006 sequel to Kevin Smith's genius directorial debut. CONSUME!
