LV-RMP Series Big things have small beginnings. Our LV-RMP series, where we explore every film in the Alien and Predator universe, finds director Ridley Scott making his long-awaited return to the genre, and franchise, that launched his illustrious career with 2012’s heady quasi-prequel Prometheus. A duo of young, ideologically divergent archeologists (Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green) believe... Continue Reading →
Compliance! We’re taking to the skies with the 1986 family sci-fi spectacular Flight of the Navigator from director Randal Kleiser. 12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer) walks through the woodlands near his Florida home to bring his irritating little brother back home before it gets dark. Instead, after losing consciousness due to a fall, David returns... Continue Reading →
OUTLANDER! We’re lost on the back roads of Nebraska, following the disorientating street signs to the Bargain Bin to revisit the cut-price kid cult King flick Children of the Corn from 1984. Newly-graduated doctor Burt (Peter Horton) and his girlfriend Vicky (Linda Hamilton) are in the process of relocating to Seattle, but their route takes... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Aidan We’re joined once again by our good friend Aidan all the way from Vancouver to discuss one of his childhood favourites, Martin Brest’s foulmouthed 1988 buddy caper Midnight Run. Disgraced former Chicago cop Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro), now working as an LA bounty hunter, is tasked with bringing in mob... Continue Reading →
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water (again), yet another Carcharodon carcharias is on the rampage in 1983’s stereoscopic sequel Jaws 3-D. Chief Brody’s eldest son Mike (a wired Dennis Quaid) has left the smalltown idyll of Amity Island to work at the sprawling SeaWorld theme park in Orlando,... Continue Reading →
We couldn't be more chuffed to welcome back one of our favourite podcasters, Em from Verbal Diorama, as she brings us Robert Zemeckis’ madcap 1988 live action/animated hybrid noirtoon Who Framed Roger Rabbit. As an avowed enthusiast of all things animated, Em was gracious enough to offer her expertise and insight once again, after her... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Matt In every sense, 1999 was a year of profound horror. I was sixteen going on seventeen, and careering towards my final year of secondary school. The queasy terror of receiving distinctly average GCSE results—though thankfully they were good enough to nudge me into a technical college, accompanied by a... Continue Reading →
LV-RMP Series We're the monsters of our own world. In the latest entry in our LV-RMP series, we continue our chronological journey through the Alien and Predator universes with Nimród Antal’s 2010 back-to-basics jungle-set pursuit thriller Predators. Waking up mid-plummet, black ops mercenary Royce (Adrian Brody) is chaotically parachuted into a dense, mysterious forest, surrounded by... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Patrick I haven’t had a pick on the podcast for a while now, so what better than Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s theatrical, queer, surrealist adaptation of Jean Genet’s Querelle De Brest huh?! It’s a film that comes to mind every now and then, despite only one viewing back in 2007. I... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Matt Discounting Piranha II: The Spawning—from which James Cameron claims to have been sacked, in a shrewd attempt to distance himself from, and disown it—and his underwater documentary work, he's only actually directed eight films, and for me, only three are worth your precious time: The Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day....
