The Martian Drive-In Podcast

To honour the life and career of Rod Taylor, I take a look at two genre films he did, which also happen to be his two biggest hits: 1960's The Time Machine and 1963's The Birds. Please support the podcast at the Patreon micropayment page. Thanks. :-)

For the fifty first podcast I look at a couple of British horror flicks of yesteryear. First we have the totally crazy Ken Russell joint from 1988 The Lair Of The White Worm starring Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi then we go back to 1972 for the quirky but effective horror film Death Line a.k.a. Raw Meat starring Donald Pleasance Norman Rossington and Christopher Lee. Alex Pierce's Project Bond The Talk Show Bond ArchiveThe Patreon Campaign To Assist The Podcast

Just before Newtonmas I look at two more Australian genre films from the last couple of years. 2013's apocalyptic drama These Final Hours starring starring Nathan Phillips and Angourie Rice and the 2013 time travel drama Predestination starring Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. The latter is based on the Heinlein story, ...All You Zombies. Plus there's feedback!Donate to the podcast via Patreon. 

This time around Kirstyn McDermott and I look at a very effective Australian horror film The Babadook, directed by Jennifer Kent and starring Essie Davis. Spoiler Alert! We like it.Kirstyn's Web SiteLink To The Patreon Campaign where you can support the podcast for as little or as much as you like. 

This time I go from a missed opportunity, the 2007 fantasy adventure film The Golden Compass starring Dakota Blue Richard and Nicole Kidman to one of Hammer's most interesting flicks the 1968 Dennis Wheatley adaptation The Devil Rides Out starring Christopher Lee and Charles Gray. Link to the Patreon Campaign

This time around Iain Triffitt and I talk about the 2011 time travel/horror / high school satire movie Detention. But mostly we shoot the shit and have a great time with it. Iain's project Tweatre is here but Iain informed me that it is currently on hiatus, darlings. Feedback to kultguru@gmail.com or at The Paleo-Cinema Cafe on Facebook.

The Martian Drive In is a fortnightly podcast which looks at two obscure science fiction, fantasy or horror films.

For this episode, Rob Jan from 3RRR's Zero Gee and I look at the history of the DC Universe from the early days of Max Fleischer's Superman cartoons in the 1940s all the way to 2014 and beyond. Comparisons between Marvel and DC will be made and the episode is the longest MDIP yet.! Sit back and enjoy it. Voicemail can be sent to 206-337-5398 and emails to kultguru@gmail.com.

This time around I look at the genre media I consumed as a child. From proto-anime, through the quagmire that is the work of Irwin Allen to Supermarionation and the imaginative cartoons of Hanna-Barbera and Filmation.Voicemail can be sent to 206-337-5398 and emails to kultguru@gmail.com.

In this one, Paul Poulton and I provide a punter's guide to the science fiction and fantasy films for the rest of 2014. A biased and opinionated look at an extremely good year for genre works.

The two movies for MDIP 28 are the 1968 AIP Hippie Exploitation movie Wild In The Streets starring Christopher Jones and Shelley Winters and the 2001 post-apcalyptic tone poem, Ever Since The World Ended starring (amongst others) Adam Savage from Mythbusters.Email: kultguru@gmail.comThe voicemail number (US) is 206-337-5398.
