By way of Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is hitting cinemas in July, an epic fantasy action bonanza based on Homer’s Odyssey. Its use of scale and practical effects harken back to the movies and stories he grew up on, including this one, Jason and the Argonauts from 1963. Featuring groundbreaking effects from stopmotion and dynomation wizard Ray Harryhausen, he considers it the pinnacle of his work, with the giant bronze statue Talos, the seven headed Hydra and of course the skeleton battle sequence. Join us this week and the next two as we explore more of the inspirations behind The Odyssey and thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review.

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!

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

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.

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!
