Episodes

  • The third in our series where we try and palm off old episodes as something new and exciting. So, it's THE ATOMIC AGE PART 3, where we chat about films that were created in the shadow of the Oppenheimer bombs. Today, it's a movie containing not one but two robots with flame throwing phalluses. Enjoy!

  • The first in our series where we try and palm off old episodes as something new and exciting. So, it's THE ATOMIC AGE PART 1, where we chat about films that were created in the shadow of the Oppenheimer bombs. The 1951 movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still is an absolute classic. The 2008 movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still, is definitely NOT a classic. Enjoy!

  • Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we're reposting our episode on the multi-Golden Globe winning Oppenheimer. We know it doesn't have any robots in but the film deals with a subject that has cast a long shadow over the robot films of the 1950s and 60s. There are no spoilers, just in case you haven't seen it.


    WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
