For our final look at Supergirl, we’re returning to the DCEU. And also Earth 89, Earth 789, Earth 30, Earth 66, Earth 203, Earth 789, and a reboot. That’s right, we’re taking a look at The Flash (2023), which aimed to be both a love letter to and the end of the Zack Snyder DC Universe, while also serving as an introduction to James Gunn’s DCU. All your favourites are back: Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and Adam West as Batman, along with Wonder Woman, Aquaman, a pretty solid interpretation of Supergirl from Sasha Calle, and Ezra Miller’s The Flash, I guess, if you’re into that kind of thing. And it’s awful. Thanks for listening to our Caravan of Garbage review.
It’s time to enter the universe of Earth-38, more commonly referred to as The Arrowverse. Amazingly we’re haven’t really covered much of this in Caravan Of Garbage and the Supergirl 2015 series seems a good a place as any. This version again sees the character of Kara Zor-El arrive from Krypton a little late to encounter a fully grown Superman and finds herself directionless despite having all the powers all of the time. Blending a bit of The Flash/Arrow with the likes of Alley McBeal/The Devil Wears Prada it definitely does its own thing for good or ill or for middling results whilst also managing to introduce characters like Martian Manhunter, Bizarro Supergirl, Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olson, Brainiac, Maxwell Lord, Lex Luthor and more! Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review
It’s time to return to Earth-167! Which you would obviously know as the universe of Smallville, the smash hit ten season long Superman original series that managed to introduce EVERY. SINGLE. DC. CHARACTER. before Clark Kent decides to put on the suit. This time we’re going to be covering the storyline of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl as played by Laura Vandervoort introduced in Season 7. And we’ve discovered so much more about this show including how many character get clones or are clones (it’s a lot which is exciting). Thanks for listening to our extended Caravan Of Garbage review
The Fifth Element (Extended)
It’s finally here! Apologies for the delay and video version coming soon I promise. To conclude our look at classic 90s sci-fi we’ve hit The Fifth Element! A wonderful action adventure movie starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich and Gary Oldman sporting three of the most insane hairstyles every committed to film. Wonderful special effects, great world building, action scenes that pack a punch all under the direction of a really crook bloke. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.
It’s absolutely bizarre that the first live action adaptation of Starship Troopers from director Paul Verhoeven bombed as badly as it did. Not only that but critics also seemed to have completely missed the not very subtle social commetary in relation to the rise of facism in western society. Now, for the most part I hope, people seem to know better and this movie is recognised for both its satirical nature and incredible action sequences. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
Stallone, always on the hunt for the next action blockbuster, took a shot at sci-fi in 1993 with the release of Demolition Man. Set in the future of 1996 and then the future of 2032 it pits him against Wesley Snipes’ Simon Phoenix having the absolute time of his life. And that’s the whole movie real, just an absolute blast from the get go with somewhat accurate depictions of the future mixed in with absolute insanity like the three sea shells situation. Thanks for coming along with us on our 1990s sci-fi retrospective and listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review
Over the next four weeks we’re taking a trip through some classic 1990’s science fiction films. An interesting era which still encorporated old school film making techniques like model work, stop motion and rear projection plus early computer generated imagery. This week it’s the action classic Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone from director Paul Verhoeven not to be confused with the 2012 reboot or the book its based on that has a completely different name and premise. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
The only logical solution to wrap up our look at the original X-Men trilogy is a updated re-release of our Caravan Of Garbage review from 2019. Sure Bryan Singer is now gone (for now) but luckily Brett “The Rat” Ratner has stepped in to take his place to conclude the stories of Wolverine, Gene Grey, Professor X, Magnet, Storm, Cyclops and many more characters that would continue to never die and re-appear in future prequels and sequels. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review
By 2003 superhero movies were well back in vogue. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man from 2002 had become a massive hit, a serious Batman reboot was in the works and of course we got the return of Bryan Singer’s (yuck) X-Men franchise with X2: X-Men United. All your favourites are back! Storm, Cyclops, Ice Boy, Rogue, Magnet, Wheels, Gene Grey, all in support of whatever Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine wants to do. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.
Cast your mind back to the year 2000. Okay great. And now think about the movie X-Men which introduced the world to the modern superhero movie with the likes of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Patrick Stewarts a bald guy, Ian McKellen as Magnet and Halle Berry as a much underused Storm. And with the likes of James Marsden coming back as Cyclops for Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 this decades old Marvel franchise has never been more relevant. And then there’s the Bryan Singer of it all. YUCK. Anyways thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.
Early access! All good things must come to an end, like for example our War of the Worlds retrospective. But at lease we’re going out on the lowest of the lows, the 2025 but filmed in 2020 Ice Cube “screenlife” adaptation. Considered by many to be one of the worst movies ever made with such a bizarre and terrible execution it’s kind of hard to stay focused on one thing at a time when talking about it. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!
Aliens continue to be real on our journey through three very distinct War of the Worlds adaptations. This week it’s the second collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise after Minority Report, War of the Worlds 2005. Interesting premise and time, post 9/11, Tom Cruise in his weirdest (publicially) era and a director who’d made two exceptional extra terrestrial propeties prior to this. This should be fantastic! And yet… Anyhow thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.
Also don’t worry this isn’t an accident posting before the video version is available. Naturally sometimes those intense edits are available a little later so we’re going to try scheduling the extended audio earlier just as some bonus early access. Thanks for listening!
ALIENS ARE REAL. I mean, statistically the chances of there being life in an ever expanding universe is pretty much a lock. And to celebrate that and the return of Steven Spielberg to making an alien movie with Disclosure Day in 2026 we’re going to take a look at three adaptations of the War of the Worlds, starting with the 1953 classic. An absolute astounding achievement in model work, design, alien monster suits, explosions and guys being stoic then running around for a bit. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.
Ready Player One (Extended)
In our final entry in our “movies about video games that aren’t based on video games” we take a look at the be all and end all entry defined by those very specific parametres, 2018’s Ready Player One. In a future bogged down in nostelgia to the detriment of a crumbling society it’s up to a group of plucky internet savy individuals to unlock the mystery of the Oasis, a Virtual Reality space where your wildest dreams can come true. If your wildiest dreams are like, walking around and Batman is there or the Delorian or whatever. Probably the most unusual choice for Steven Spielberg to direct but hey, he certainly threw a lot of stuff in it. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
Stop what you’re doing everyone. It’s time to continue our look at videos about video games that aren’t actually based on video games. And you might be wondering what the movie Serenity for 2019 has to do with video games? It seems like some kind of beach side noir murder mystery starring a cigarette smoking Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. And yes that is true but there’s also a deeper layer of story to this movie that has to be seen to be believed. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
It’s time for another look at a movie about and featuring video games but not actually based on a video game. This time it’s 2009’s Gamer starring Gerard Butler, Logan Lerman, Michael C Hall and directed by Crank duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Set in the far distant future of 2034 in a world where the game Slayers (an online third person shooter) uses real life death-row prisoners in a real life murder arena controlled by players safely at home. In many ways it’s ahead of it’s time and in many other ways it has aged horrible. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
The Last Starfighter (Extended)

Sherlock Holmes is back and this time it’s A Game of Shadows! In this highly anticipated 2011 sequel we seen Robert Downey Jr’s and Jude Law return as both Holmes and Watson to take on the criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty who has a dastardly plan to do a big World War I but early. There’s drinking, dancing, explosions, mind chess, mind fights, falling off things and more! Thanks for watching our Caravan of Garbage review
Like Batman, Sherlock adaptations are always and forever. And now that a new Young Sherlock series has debut in 2026 it’s time to take a look back at the Guy Richie series beginning in 2009. Starring Robert Downey Jr hot off his return to hollywood as Iron Man in 08′ and Jude Law this strips things back to basics whilst modernizing other elements (mostly the punching and hats). Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review.
The anticipation for what was to be the final Star Wars film, Revenge/Return of the Jedi was at an absolute boiling point in 1983. What was to become of Han Solo? Would Luke Skywalker defeat Darth Vader and turn from the dark side? Will Princess Leia kill a giant peverted slug in a gold bikini? These questions and more were wrapped up at the end of the original trilogy which brings the Emperor of the Galaxy to the forefront of story now with a second and even bigger Death Star. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review on George Lucas’ original trilogy and what some people consider to be the last true Star Wars experience
It’s time to talk what many still consider the pinacle of Star Wars media, The Empire Strikes Back. Released three years after the first movie in 1980 it also came at a time when sequels were almost always inferior to the original. With the original trio of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia returning and George Lucas not directing but putting it all on the line to make this happen Empire was a massive success with it’s darker nature and twist ending. And that green puppet man. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.
To kick off Caravan Of Garbage in 2026 we’ve decided to celebrate the release of Star Wars’ 49th anniversary. We’re talking the original movie as it was first shown in May of 1977 with none of the Special Edition tweaks or even the addition of the title A New Hope which was added four years later. We’re looking at the miracle of the movie that started it all, George Lucas’ vision brought to life with the music of John Williams, special effects by ILM and the relatively unknown trio of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. Thanks for listening to our review.
Wrath of the Titans (Extended)
Two years after the success of the Warner Brothers Clash of the Titans reboot Sam Worthington returned to the role of Perseus for WRATH of the Titans. This time around Zeus and Hades have to content with the fact they no longer posess the power they once had in addition to Ares the God of War releasing Kronos from the underworld. And that’s pretty bad because he’s a big walking volcano. Thanks for watching our final Caravan of Garbage review for the year and all the support you’ve shown in 2025
Clash of the Titans (Extended)
There’s going to be a delay on this week’s Caravan Of Garbage video version and editor Ben From Canada wants everyone to know it’s Doug Ford’s fault. Caravan of Garbage: (Protected Content)
Video version slightly delayed sorry due to illness but it’s still coming!
