2023/10/25

Fire up your positronic brains and get down with your bad A.I. simulant-selves as we check out the new film from Gareth Edwards: The Creator. Cyberpunk, sci-fi military war-movie and zen Buddhist anti-imperial colonialism come crashing together in this visual treat. But is it actually a good film? That's very much a personal preference and one which will be hotly discussed in this podcast. Dion and Peta were our two intelligences on this podcast due to a sudden bout of food poisoning taking Quinny

Normally when we talk about sailing the high seas for our entertainment, it's a bit more tongue in cheek (and possibly referring to the high cost of streaming services and film in this hellscape of an economy).

OK folks, get ready for the movie discussion that has been on the tips of the lips of all concerned for some time now. How deep a cut is too deep and what do we do when Superhero Fatigue has finally hit us like a wrecking ball? with DC's Blue Beetle, we find ourselves in an uncertain universe, with possibly no history and probably no future. It was elevated from a TV movie to a cinema release almost at the exact same time Batgirl went the other way. The character is lesser known and the focus is

TPToA Podcast 327 – Deadloch

The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast ·

2023/08/30

This Podcast may be the most swearing and profanity riddled show we have ever done.... but it's also about a surprising Amazon Prime comedy-crime-thriller series set in the fictional Tasmanian seaside (and weirdly rural?) town of Deadloch. It's unashamedly weird, and it manages to be surprising at every turn. Plus it's creative use of the C word is borderline operatic. The pack of c***s in the review for this episode are Jill and Peta representing the non-Taswegians, Dion repping the ring-in Tassie

In a dystopian future where a community exists in a giant silo that extends hundreds of stories underground, 10,000 people live in a society tightly bound by regulations they believe are meant to protect them. They do not know why they are there. They do not know who built the Silo. They do not know why everything outside the Silo is as it is. They do not know when it will be safe to go outside. They only know that day is not this day. They also probably don't know what a "podcast" is, or even
