Journey Through Sci-FiCyberpunk Cities - Escape from New York (1981) & Blade Runner 2049 (2017)This week, we’re joined by top genre journalists and hosts of the sci-fi podcast Robby The Robot's Waiting—Richard Edwards, Dave Bradley, and Tanavi Patel. Together, we dive into the dystopian visions of American cities depicted in John Carpenter's Escape From New York (1981) and Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 (2017). From the lawless, prison-like Manhattan of Escape From New York to the neon-soaked, rain-drenched streets of a future Los Angeles in Blade Runner 2049, we’ll explore how these films imagine the future of urban America and the grim possibilities that come with it.

Robby The Robot’s Waiting: The Sci-Fi PodcastS02 E04: Hasta la vista, Robby. It’s Terminator 2: Judgment DayJoin us on a trip back 30 years, as we rewatch Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Rightly regarded as a landmark in movie special effects, James Cameron’s 1991 classic remains a much-loved action film and a high point in the Terminator franchise. The film follows Sarah and John Connor (Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong) as they are targetted by an advanced, shape-shifting Terminator from the future (Robert Patrick). They are accompanied by a version of the original Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), sent back in time to protect them. Are we still fans, after all this time? Which of us saw it at...

Which is the definitive version of Douglas Adams' masterpiece?

While 2020 in cinema was as much about the films we didn’t see as the films we did – would Birds Of Prey be making it into top five lists in any other year? – TV has arguably never been better.

The premise of our "Christmas gifts" was to introduce our co-hosts to something they've not seen before. Having ventured into ’80s fantasy territory with Hawk The Slayer, before braving the Spanish Civil War chills of The Devil’s Backbone, we’re off for a jaunt to the decidedly odd Maine town of Haven.
