This week Chris uses AI to try and solve the mystery of a long-forgotten childhood film, and predictably AI gets it wrong. No matter, we watch Explorers anyway, a black hole in our collective nostalgia knowledge, in which Ethan Hawke, River Phoenix and some other guy make their film debuts, spend a long time building a spaceship, and then make first contact in the least climactic way possible.

Next week, we finally watch Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home to celebrate Time Travel is Dangerous hitting streaming platforms.

Chris returns to the pod in time to watch Robocop 3! Join us as we try and work out which bits of the plot aren't in the earlier films, discuss casting via waist measurement, and promise that there are better films on the horizon.

Maybe next week's Explorers is one of them? Tune in to find out!

Also, go to Time Travel is Dangerous at the Ally Pally! Listen to find out how to get a free beer!

This week we belatedly celebrate Alex's birthday by watching Daft Punk's animated epic Interstella 5555. Join us for one of the most inscrutable quizzes Alex has ever made, and lwe try and fail to convince Chris this is worth his time, contend with an unprecedented mid-episode host exit, and then Alex and Sam continue to geek out about this strange and beautiful thing...

This week we celebrate 350 episodes by watching Mars Needs Moms, an odd CGI kids film that no-one remembers! Join us as we discuss the godawful motion capture, the curse of Mars films, and because Sam feels bad about making us watch this, there's a Mars quiz, too.

Here is the scene from Welcome to Marwen which inspired this episode

And here is Ice Cube's awful-looking War of the World remake

This week we fill a long-time listener request (maybe?) and watch Zathura, the spiritual successor to Alex's favourite film of all time Jumanji - even if the director really doesn't want you to think that.. Join us as we discuss some fine mahogany, ave a Jumanji-themed quiz, and Chris even gives us a quick review of Jurassic World: Rebirth. Also, Poppins rears its ugly head once more...but is it actually Questionable Content we're seeing here instead?

Next week it's Mars Need Moms. Yup.
