This week, we begin a new season of films - it's Ladies First/Night! Our respective partners pick their favourite science fiction film for us to watch starting with, er, Unbreakable. Join us as we discuss what's gone wrong with the decision to watch this film, Alex's secret director's cut of the film, and the many ways this isn't very good.   Next week, we watch another film: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (it is at least definitely sci-fi) See the new list!

Hi, we're back! This week, we take a quick break from your normal pod-based rating system for the latest in our long-dormant series of spoilercasts! Alex is a busy bee so Chris and Sam hop online to chat about The Creator, Gareth Edward's latest sci-fi flick.  It's not all bad, but it's mostly bad.  And just in case the name of this episode wasn't enough of a clue, be warned: SPOILERS of The Creator, pretty much from the start. Next week, it really is Unbreakable. Sorry for the break, plans are afoot to guarantee you receive a weekly dose of pod action every single week. Pr ..read more

This week, we almost watch a listener request and return to probably our favourite genre of sci-fi: old, mad, black and white sci-fi. Join us as we discuss some improbably bad acting, filming in Westminster Abbey, stapling eyes to octopuses, and the enigma that is Quatermass himself. Next week, it's Ladies First! A new season kicks off with, er, Unbreakable? See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website! Watch us on Youtube! See the old list! Download the soundtrack! Buy our Merch!

This week, we watch The Hunger Games, Chris' birthday pick. Long-time listeners may remember us devoting 15 minutes to this way, way back several podcast formats ago, but here we are with a full on SFRS rating treatment. Join us for a long discussion about the problem with siloing off all your manufacturing into distinct districts of a country, and...er...no, it's mostly just moaning about that. I mean have you seen the fishing district? What on earth is going on? Also, a district that just builds nukes? What? Next week we finally get back to a listener's request and watch the wrong film ..read more

This week, the long-lost spoilercast for season 3 of Star Trek: Picard finally returns from pod hell for everyone to have a listen to! Recorded in May, join us as we discuss why this was better than every other bit of modern Trek. Also, there's a mailbag that has also been to the other side of the galaxy and back- sorry about that, correspondent! Next week, it's The Hunger Games! See the new list! Play along at home!

It's birthday season on SFRS, and this week watch Sam's choice of birthday pick: Alien: Resurrection! Join us as we dissect this most messy of Alien sequels. Directors speaking the wrong language, a mysteriously destroyed blu-ray, and a scriptwriter trying to wriggle out of responsibility when it's all his fault. It's a downer, but it's a fun downer!

We reach the end of this strange, never-ending sequence of sci-fi and non-sci-fi films with The Cell, a film about a serial killer's mind. Join us as we try and find Jlo's career highlight, discuss the many problems with late '90s culture, and work out that most, if not all, of this film is entirely pointless... Next week it's time for some birthday picks yet again, starting with Sam's choice - it's Alien Resurrection! See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website!

This week, join us for a third and final trip ????? ????! It's Sam's turn to choose a non sci-fi film and he picks Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Join us as we descend into hell, hear about Alex's insane 24 hour Twin Peaks marathon, and discuss how wrong the bad press was for this film when it released. Next week, it's the science fiction film paired with this one - The Cell! See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website! Watch us on Youtube! See the old list!

If you thought last week was bad, then we can only apologise. Alex makes us watch Gamer and the nicest thing your humble typist can say is at least we only have to watch it once. Join us for a long discussion about how to soundtrack a trailer, how not to make a film, and the perils of nominative determinism. Next week, the third and final instalment of this entire ridiculous Below Zero series concludes with Sam's pick- it's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch!

This week SFRS: ????? ???? continues, with Alex's pick, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. No, not Jumanji, which at least one host didn't realise, but the Rock vehicle that came a lot later.  Join us as Alex finally gets to talk about his favourite film of all time, Chris thinks this might not actually be Poppins after all, and Sam pitches us on a new computer game. Also, Mr. Limpet returns. Next week, Alex backs up his Poppins choice with a related sci-fi classic - no, wait, it's Gamer. See the new list! Play along at home! Get in touch! Visit the Website!
