The Martian Drive-In Podcast

In this one, I look at a neglected SF film from ten years ago, Jon Amiel's The Core - starring Aaron Eckhardt, Hilary Swank, Stanley Tucci, D J Qualls, Delroy Lindon, Richard Jenkins and Alfre Woodard. I then go onto a long rant about the years from 1930 to 1955 in science fiction cinema. There's also feedback.

This time Nick Sauer from Fantastic Television Blog and I look at 1984's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension and the five year space opera that is Babylon 5.

For the last Martian Drive In Podcast of 2012, I'm looking at 1932's The Island Of Lost Souls starring Charles Laughton and Bela Lugosi. (What is the law!) and the 1963 Mario Bava portmanteau movie, Black Sabbath starring Boris Karloff and Mark Damon.

In number five, Ian Mond from The Writer And The Critic and Shooting The Poo podcasts joins me in the Man Cave for a talk about the Curiosity Rover on Mars, a discussion on whether we should support homophobic Science Fiction writers when their stories get made into blockbuster movies and we chat two movies about time travel: FAQ About Time Travel (2009) starring Chris O'Dowd and Anna Faris and a challenging low budget movie from 2004, Primer which will do your head in with confused timelines and minimal exposition. We also have feedback!

For the fourth MDIP, Sonia Marcon, Grant Watson and I talk about Vincenzo Natali's 2002 science fiction thriller Cypher and an interesting 2007 thought piece of a movie The Man From Earth.
