About this episode

The episode discusses various science fiction films with plenty of spoilers.

Recorded months ago, it was a tough edit (as I say near the end of the episode), but I also got a job in the interim and there's been less time for unpaid frivolity. Tardy or no, we hope you enjoy our ramblings on the topic of SF films and, as always SPOILERS ABOUND! Listen at your own peril for having plots of the movies mentioned told to you in advance. If you want to just listen to the parts about movies you've seen, we provide this handy set of timecodes. Enjoy! 00:00 Intro and audio woes 01:25 Stalker 17:05 Annihilation 18:56 Blade Runner 31:08 Akira 31:58 Akira slide 38:13 Dark City 43:45 Paprika 54:55 Moon 1:06:18 Robot & Frank (no spoilers; we promise)
