Alex steps into the captain's chair to host a very special bumper Star Trek show.  We follow one of cinema's strangest trilogies as the crew of the USS Enterprise fight an awesome villain, a terrible…

This week we would have been previewing Star Trek II-IV, having a lovely quiz about Star Trek and chatting about Mr. Limpet. But instead Sam is an idiot and deleted various files that made this episo…

We travel back in time 20 years (20 years!!!) to watch and rank three very different films that all wear their late '90s heritage proudly.  Ironic horror, gloomy miserabilism and Apollo Four Forty, t…

In a galaxy far, far away nothing is probably happening, but right here we're watching A New Hope and 2 ripoffs because pretty soon there's a new Star Wars film out, and that is still an exciting thi…

We revisit Independence Day and provide a definitive ranking for (probably) the most divisive film on the list.  Why is it is so bad? The wafer thin plot? The hideous level of AMURICA? The grating at…
