Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the latest from Paul Thomas Anderson, wherein the director's quirky sensibility meets a political action thriller - but is that a match made in heaven? With @mattbarberuk.bsky.social and Luke Molloy.

Tomorrow evening I shall be paying for some unrelated and long forgotten sin of my past, by appearing LIVE on The Polis Box : Live!'s trial of Flux Chapter Six: The Vanquishers. Will I be extolling its virtues or condemning it to the inner ring of Satan's anus? Find out in 25 hours' time...
Last call for your Viewer Evidence on The Vanquishers - we’re live with @markdonaldson.bsky.social and @strangerscast.bsky.social’s J.R. Southall on YouTube tomorrow night from 8pm!
FRIDAY : the trial of Flux reaches it’s conclusion with The Vanquishers going before the court, with guests @strangerscast.bsky.social’s J.R. Southall and @markdonaldson.bsky.social. But is it guilty or not guilty of crimes against #DoctorWho? Send us your thoughts for Viewer Evidence!

Seeing as our last episode was a day early, here we are Fixing Eric Saward on a Thursday rather than the intended Friday. I hope he's ready for our clean-up campaign!

According to the BBC, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says Rachel Reeves is hiking taxes to pay for welfare.

There's a mic drop right there.

Here's Wednesday's podcast already, our chat about the photo of Billie and Paul that emerged at the weekend and more generally, the thoughts we've had about what 2026 might bring.

Wish it could be Christmas every day? Well, perhaps not every day, but December is almost upon us and between now and the big day we're going twice-weekly with our Doctor Who-themed episodes, in our busiest month since the sixtieth anniversary. Plus all the usual film reviews and more.

We turn our microphones to the topic of the recently finished Alien: Earth, and ask ourselves if eight episodes of Alien on the telly is all our dreams come true, or maybe too much Alien...

We review the debut album Tell Me It's Not True, by new indie band Silk Cuts; if C86 and Sarah Records is your thing, or even if you just like authentic sounding guitar music, they should be right up your street. They are certainly up ours!

Or better yet, the Senior Citizen Resident of the United States.

After Pinocchio, Frankenstein feels like the next logical step for director Guillermo del Toro. But would we be able to sit through yet another adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel?

On the feed in the second half of November... we catch up with the Frankensteins, partake of some Silk Cuts, and watch a pair of Myth Makers (so you don't have to), before finding Aliens on Earth, fixing Eric Saward, and starting a Hammer marathon with an early pair of Quatermass adjacent horrors...

If post-The Smiths indie is your thing (particularly the C86/Sarah Records end of the spectrum) - or even if you just like bands that play instruments and make lovely music - then here's the video of our review of the debut album from Silk Cuts; audio on our feed next week:

Five sequels, a prequel and a TV series suggest 1990's Tremors must have been a huge hit - although that must have been on home media because the box office itself wasn't exactly stellar. What does the movie look like 35 years on though...?
