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.

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.

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.

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
