Science Fiction Rating SystemRedlineThis week we watch the first of a trilogy of listener-picked films, one for each of us. First up is Redline, chosen for Sam because he's the most in to moaning on about Japanese animated stuff.

Science Fiction Rating SystemBrazilIn a very special episode we review Terry Gilliam's Brazil and are joined by Valerie Charlton who worked on the visual effects for the film for a fascinating interview on how some of the iconic shots were put together. Also, Sam is an idiot and deleted his own audio and Chris has gone AWOL, so listen as Alex and Sam try to recreate a podcast by picking through the remnants of a digital Chris.

Science Fiction Rating SystemJurassic WorldThis week it's Chris' choice of 2015 film to start the new decade, and predictably he's gone for Jurassic World. Alex has plans for a very different sort of JP film, Sam can't get over Quattro and Chris is just happy as long as there's dinosaurs.Next week it's Sam's pick for 2015, which was Michael Madsen's (not that one) The Visit (not that one, either)GIVE US 5 STARS ON ITUNES!Get in touch!Visit the Website!See the list so far!And we're on Twitter, Instagram...2020-01-1357 min

Science Fiction Rating SystemDuneFor the first of our new format birthday picks we watch Sam's choice, Dune. With Denis Villenueve currently deep into post-production on a big budget remake we return to the 1984 Lynch original to try and make sense of the plot, confront our childhood PTSD from that scene with the hand, and get into some pretty heavy Dune book spoilers towards the end of the pod. You have been warned.Next week we're watching Doom. Yes, the one with The Rock.Also, in an effort to help you out when we reference things elsewhere here...2019-11-111h 01
Science Fiction Rating SystemThe Matrix RevolutionsAlmost a year after we watched The Matrix we bite the bullet (time) and finish the trilogy with Revolutions. Is this film as bad as we all remember?

Science Fiction Rating SystemSoylent GreenThis week Chris is so excited for Soylent Green that we struggle to contain him. Listen as Alex and Sam try to keep him in line and talk through the '70s sci-fi classic with a twist as twisty as a bag of Twisters twisted around a twisty flagpole.

Every birthday we each get to pick a film we think has been treated unfairly by the list and re-watch and re-rank it! This year Sam chose Predator, Chris chose Independence Day and Alex chose Tron.

Science Fiction Rating SystemThe AvengersAs The Avengers: Endgame hits cinemas across the world we hop onto some super-heroic coattails and watch the first Marvel team up from way back in 2012.In a bumper episode we thoroughly pull apart a film that feels older than it is. Alex is in his element dishing out facts like confetti, Sam is hard to impress and Chris is maybe coming around to this sort of thing? Maybe.And don't worry, there are absolutely *no spoilers* for Endgame here (plenty for earlier films in the MCU though.)Next week it's...2019-04-261h 32

Nice!GIVE US 5 STARS ON ITUNES!2019-03-191h 12
Science Fiction Rating SystemThe Running ManIt’s the start of nostalgia season! This week Alex plucks a film from his childhood to see if it still holds up, and predictably Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved. In 1987’s The Running Man 2019 is a totalitarian hellscape where TV controls the world and the masses are oppressed by a minority, getting their kicks watching innocents throw themselves into a violent nightmare for a chance at redemption. Its only marginally less depressing than the real 2019 etc.Next week we visit Sam’s childhood by finally getting to watch The Transformers: The Movie. Watch a trailer here!...2019-03-121h 20
Science Fiction Rating SystemYor, The Hunter From The FutureMany moons ago Chris chose Yor over the Matrix sequels. After putting off watching it for months Alex, Chris and Sam are all pleasantly surprised by Yor’s brand of terrible. Cavemen, dinosaurs, Gimp Vader, the grandpa from Troll 2 and the greatest theme tune we’ve rated yet this week we watch the film that has it all! (But is still pretty awful.)We’ve gone long enough without any Trek and so next month we catch up with the original Enterprise crew for the last time in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country!See th...2019-02-2755 min
Science Fiction Rating SystemK-PAXThis week Sam becomes ever more familiar with editing podcasts as we discuss Kevin Spacey’s K-PAX and definitely not anything else related to Kevin Spacey that may be in the news right now. Chris is unwilling to jeopardise any future Hollywood link-ups whilst Sam and Alex are determined to write a better version of this terrible film.And if that’s not enough the debate over whether this is actually sci-fi potentially activates the dreaded Poppin’s Clause. Will K-PAX be our third film not to even make it on to the list? Tune in to find o...2019-02-1249 min

Science Fiction Rating SystemPredatorsRemember how great Predator was last week? What a well thought out, tightly scripted and tense action film it was? And remember Predator 2? How it took that formula and transplanted it to a city, adding police procedural stuff and weirdo cults to create some fresh and exciting?Well forget all that because this week we watch Predators, where gruff librarian Adrien Brody leads a group of dull Z-listers around a fake jungle in a vain attempt to locate the magic that made the original film so good.(P.s. these notes written by Sam, and...2018-09-1752 min
Science Fiction Rating System0066: Them!For a 2nd year running we celebrate Bug Week with some GIANT ANTS. In a wide ranging episode we dissect the film itself, and also get into projection techniques, an in depth ant quiz, the wonder of a Victorian man in Hollywood and much, much more!Note: We had a bit of technical trouble whilst recording, so if Chris and Sam seem to be laughing for no reason its because Alex sounded like an alien trapped in a washing machine for much of the podcast. Luckily, his voice is super sweet and clean for the listener.GIVE...2018-07-3154 min
Science Fiction Rating System0060: 2001: A Space OdysseyThis week we watch 2001, chosen by Matt Fitch, co-author of the fantastic new graphic novel Apollo, in stores now! We break down the film, Alex proposes an extra act break, and then when it comes to the all important ranking the pod erupts in all-out war. Not since Ghost in the Shell has a film proved quite so divisive. Will the gang manage to reach a ranking, or is a certain co-host so angry that this is the end of SFRS as we know it? Tune in for more drama than you can probably find in the film itself!2018-06-1358 min
Science Fiction Rating System0059: WestworldWestworld is big news again thanks to the HBO series currently airing its 2nd season, but how well does the 1973 original hold up?

We head back in time to look at the films we've each selected for our annual re-ranking process. Sam regrets his choice, Alex didn't think his would be so controversial, and Chris doesn't write (or probably read) these introductions and so clearly made a bad choice.We also get into what's changing about the pod, and how YOU can shape the future!

Science Fiction Rating System0044: Star Trek II-IV Preview Week (Sort of)This week we would have been previewing Star Trek II-IV, having a lovely quiz about Star Trek and chatting about Mr. Limpet.

Arnie comes back, Mark Hamill's career hits rock bottom, and Disney fail at making a billion dollar franchise. This week's films are a diverse selection of sci-fi and there's something for everyone.

Still, at least they're ranked now and its out of the way. No, wait, there's about eight million films like this so we'll be back. Sigh.
