For Martian Drive In Podcast 25, I look at two favourites. Firstly, the 1981 David Cronenberg directed science fiction/horror thriller Scanners starring Stephen Lack, Patrick McGoohan and Jennifer O'Neill and then the 1974 science fiction p0rn spoof, Flesh Gordon starring Jason Williams and the Great God P0rno.

For this one, pre-Newtonmas, my guest Rob Jan from 3RRR's Zero Gee program and I talk about the biggest movie franchise on the planet at the moment, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We span the years from 1944 to 2014 and geek out as only fan-boys can.

This time we go from cold war paranoia in THE 27th DAY starring Gene Barry and Valerie French, then to the craziness that was 1975 and Roger Corman's New World Pictures for DEATH RACE 2000 starring David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone and cars.The new voicemail number is 206 337 7721.

This time, I'm taking a break from movies and looking at some music from science fiction and fantasy. Enjoy!.

For 21 I look at the 1957 alien invasion movie Kronos starring Jeff Morrow and George O'Hanlon and a much better film, the 1980 Death Watch directed by Bertrand Tavernier and starring Romy Schneider, Harvey Keitel and Harry Dean Stanton. Two really different movies, then second one foreshadowing reality television in a dark and science fictional way.
