Forty years ago, Walt Kelly's comic strip character Pogo famously intoned: "We have met the enemy, and he is us." Now, as the evidence for climate change becomes overwhelming, we learn the hard reality behind that witticism. The possible destruction, and certain transformation, of the ecosphere has been brought about by our own activities. What will our new world look like? How will we - can we - adapt? The clash of a rapidly changing environment with earth's self-styled ruling species, humans, provides ample creative fodder for this riveting anthology of original science fiction.

From obscure VHS finds to the biggest box-office smashes, we dissect films with spirit and cinematic passion. Whether it’s a forgotten gem, a modern blockbuster, or Hollywood’s latest attempt at a reboot, we’re watching, debating, and occasionally yelling into the void about it. Think of us as the late-night movie conversation you wish you had — unfiltered, unapologetic, and always chasing the magic of great (or gloriously terrible) cinema. New episodes every week, your cinematic fix, served with a side of sarcasm.

We talk about all subjects from movies to aliens, to conspiracies. The subject matter is serious, but humor makes it fun.
