In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 2005 American science fiction action film "War of the Worlds" directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, Miranda Otto, and Tim Robbins - with a memorable narration by Morgan Freeman. Based upon the 1897 novel by H.G. Wells, the film follows an American dock worker who is forced to look after his children, from whom he lives separately, as he struggles to reunite them with their mother during an extraterrestrial invasion of Earth that is devastating the cities of the Earth with giant tripod war machines - during which aliens are abducting and disintegrating humanity en masse and attempting to adapt Earth to their needs.
