0098: World on a Wire, Part 1

April 2nd, 2019  |  1 hr 3 mins

In a list first we tackle a film so long we had to cut in two. Also it was originally a TV show that was in two parts anyway, so everything worked out OK. Join us as we watch the film that was The Matrix before The Matrix, a captivating and strange...

This week Alex hosts and possibly stars in Attack the Block, Joe Cornish's hoodies vs. aliens sci-fi romp. It doesn't take us long to decide we have serious issues with the film and then spend a long time trying to come to terms with it.

Dr. Who is a big deal, a bigger deal than makes any sense to any of us here at SFRS. But let it not be said we aren't willing to learn so this week we watch a Dr. Who film and partake in a wide ranging Dr. Who quiz to brush up on our knowledge.

0087: Under the Skin

January 14th, 2019  |  1 hr 5 mins

This week is an uncharacteristically nuanced and deep look at Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin, in which we attempt to separate authorial intent from the audience’s experience, discuss the merits of ambiguity versus a cold hard narrative, and stop Chris getting into beef with Scotland. Well, almost.
