Grave of the Fireflies

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

I'm not crying, you're crying! We go over one of the saddest things which we were all dreading watching, but don't worry, there's plenty to talk about aside from crushing brutal sadness, such as the interesting polymath who wrote the story and the extremely methodical guy who directed the film, and of course some Miyazaki too. And if you're wondering, you don't have to watch the film to listen if you can't handle it right now (and if you want, you can read the short story which we talk about too)

The news just broke that Netflix made less original content in Q1 2026 than any time in the past 8 years and this film came out 8 years ago, so the pattern is there. There aren't many spoilers about the film because nothing happens so it's definitely safe to listen to this podcast without watching it, which is good because it isn't even on Netflix anymore. Probably also isn't a spoiler to say that we tried to talk about almost anything else for almost an hour.

Happy birthday to Matt! Belated birthday, ok very very belated (scheduling is hard) we are talking about a movie that features and was partially conceived by Bob Dylan in 2003(!) with a murderer's row of stars and directed by the guy who would later make Borat. Is it weird? How could it not be? It's Matt's birthday pick! Next week we're back to the list for the second half(ish) of it.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

We're at the end of the fast and furious road for now, as we talk about the film that was supposed to be part one of the finale whose cliffhanger may get resolved in one movie, two movies, or something completely different, I guess we'll tentatively see you for Fast Forever in 2028, but before that we're getting back to the top 100 and bottom 100 rated films on IMDB

Matt is out sick this week because this movie was too much for his immune system. Mark and Luke talk about Torettos punching holes in buildings, favorite characters returning from the dead, cars going to space, magnets making stuff fly around, this film has it all.

The Fate of the Furious

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Suddenly Dom is a criminal! No not like that, he's not stealing DVD players, he's stealing nuclear launch codes. But for family, just not the family he can talk about right now. But really you're asking yourself "do they actually launch a nuke?" and also "is that even close to the biggest action set piece in the film?" and you'll just have to listen to find out.

And Matt makes music here:

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

You thought this franchise had peaked already? Think again. Cars parachute out of airplanes, drive between buildings, you get two head on collisions, Dom lifts a car, there's another computer chip that does something, and we're on our second Shaw of many. Rest in power Paul Walker, we'll see you again (digitally)

There's a baby now so the family's bigger, but so are the stakes, and so are the explosions, and so are the fights, and so is that tank and that plane and so on, and for the first time we have a Hobbs and a Shaw together onscreen (not that Shaw though, not yet) Friend of the pod Devin Carlen joins us because a big movie deserves a big podcast.

The Fast and the Furious (1954)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

For this one it's not the quality of the fast but the quantity, and all the furious is wrapped up in one frustrated and problematic truck driver. We take a break from the break we were taking from the main podcast to get into this 1954 Roger Corman-produced tawdry crime flick, because there's nothing better than diverting from the scenic route to take another, slower scenic route.

We get 3 fast 3 furious, and 3 out of 4 of us actually live in Japan. We get into topics like the Yakuza, Mario Kart, #bringbackmasculinity, and how much of this was actually filmed in Tokyo, and we smash lots of cars along the way learning to drift into staying on topic.

Plan 9 from Outer Space (w/ John Champion)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 02:43:09 +0000

John Champion was here for "Citizen Kane," so it makes sense that he's here for the Citizen Kane of bad movies.

Interestingly, Plan 9 was not quite on our "filth list." We're taking a side detour into unstruck work in support of the SAG/WGA strikes. This one is quite public domain and you can watch it here:

The Avengers (1998) (w/ Brian Clayton)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 02:39:40 +0000

#92 on the "filthy" list: Uma Thurman does not do the Queen's English very well, and Ralph Fiennes is a bit undercooked as John Steed, but at least Sean Connery seems to be having the time of his life.

Will #93 on the "filth" list be a yabba-dabba doo time, or a yabba-dabba don't time?

#95 on the "good" list. The combined word of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John pass judgement on Citizen Kane on the 'Citizen Kane' of podcasting. It's so intense that the cops showed up.

Starting next week with a discussion of the film "Ikiru" is "Films and Filth: The Citizen Kane of Podcasting."

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 03:00:00 +0000

It's been 25 years since this film adaptation of Carl Sagan's novel hit the screen, and that science vs. faith argument has only gotten louder and more shrill.

Dr. Erin Macdonald was last here for "Interstellar," so I suppose she is now our Matthew Mcconaughey consultant. We'd love to claim her as our science consultant, but ALL OF STAR TREK is currently claiming her in that capacity. She will also Explain the Universe to you at her website:

Tommy Tells Tales From His Own Twilight Zone (w/ Tommy Chong)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:49:23 +0000

The plan was to do an episode for Matt's Time Enough Podcast, but technical hijinks ensued and we just decided to go whatever the winds blew us. I think it worked out for the best. Of course, we give Tommy Chong his Rod Serling read, and then veer off into old-school radio, weird encounters with Muhammad Ali, the Beatle that Tommy never smoked weed with, the meaning of life, and the best way to smoke a joint.

Does Tommy Chong even need an introduction? Think "Cheech and Chong" if you're still scratching your head. Talking to him is a magical experience, and if you wanna mainline some Internet Tommy, why not head here:

The Wachowski's love for anime runs wild with this one. While it's a bit of a mixed bag, some of this is quite essential to wrapping your head around the Matrix.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 00:25:58 +0000

We're starting a full month of Matrix, so why not revisit our March 2020 dive into the first film. Listen as we can quite place our finger on something the movie is trying to say. We get that worked out in our brand-new "Reloaded" episode.

"Time Enough at Last" from Matt's "Time Enough Podcast"

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 00:20:31 +0000

Regular guest Andrew Shearer is also along for the ride.

This episode covers "Time Enough At Last," very likely the most iconic episode of the series.

Into the Spider-Verse (w/ Sean Bell)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 15:06:17 +0000

The best superhero films really are the ones that throw the book out of the window and get away with it. We've brought along animation aficionado and gaming guru, Sean Bell, to work it on out with us.

Up in Smoke (w/ Tommy Chong)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 25 May 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Matt and Luke had to call up Tommy Chong to get a contact high because there's, like, no weed here in Japan. Our regular hype-man Mark Malek is also in on the call, though Matt fails to properly introduce him.

It's the end of our non-sci-fi cheat month, but this one can be sci-fi if you get high enough. Also, we talk about a fair amount about Godzilla.

I could just say type Tommy Chong's name into a search engine, and click on the first link, but I'll save you the five seconds:

We done like us some monster flicks in the Sanctuary, and this is one of the better ones Hollywood has produced.

The Creation of the Humanoids (w/ Ken Ammi)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 26 Jan 2021 06:05:16 +0000

Don't be fooled by the smell of early 1960's sci-fi cheeze - if you dig in you'll find concepts that are not just ahead of its time, but even ahead of Philip K. Dick. You likely haven't seen this one, but through the magic of YouTube and public domain, you should first give this early taste of sci-fi A.I. at the following link:

Matt learned about this film from today's guest, Ken Ammi. Ken is a Christian-Jewish mystic who is happy to take a stroll through the halls of philosophical sci-fi with us, and has been prolific enough that he's basically written his own library. Have a deep dive into his worldview at his website:

Back to the Future Part II (w/ Taylor Morden)

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and sometimes a John — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 06:00:00 +0000

We get into the next step of Marty McFly's time tripping - all those whiplash time currents that make up this pop culture bonanza. Hoverboards, Pepsi Perfects, and 1989 Trump impersonation fuel this time trip.

Joining us is Taylor Morden. Last year, during the initial 2020 lockdown, he organized Project 88, wherein people in quarantine recreated the 88 scenes of Back to the Future Part II. Check that out here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcUUjWbVc4I&t=3631s
Even more impressive is his recent documentary "The Last Blockbuster," which takes a close look at the only remaining Blockbuster Video in Bend, Oregon. We get into that a bit near the end of this episode. You'll find the film available on Amazon, but why not get started at this website first?:

The Highlander (w/ Jonathan Melville)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 09:12:00 +0000

Full disclosure - this film is not our geek niche, though we give full and due respect to that niche (at least until the sequel). In fact - this turned out to be Matt's first viewing of the film. So, to balance the scales, we've got a guest, Jonathan Meville, who has fully immersed himself in the making of this cult classic. He recently published a fantastic book, "A Kind of Magic: The Making of the Original HIghlander," on that very topic and you should hit up this US Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Kind-Magic-Making-Original-Highlander/dp/1913538052/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=melville+kind+of+magic&qid=1609577883&sr=8-1 Or this UK one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kind-Magic-Making-Original-Highlander/dp/1913538052/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=kind+of+magic+melville&qid=1609577988&sr=8-1 Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Even better, we've got one of the story writers, Eric Stilwell, on as a guest.

Gimmie your Christmas!! You can say it's not sci-fi, but let's not forget Turbo Man, jetpacks, and the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger exists is pretty sci-fi.

While this is the most recent place to get your monster action - we're not sure it's the best. Nevertheless, there are quite a few monsters to discuss here.

We're kicking of our monster month at the Sci-fi Sanctuary with this one. It features those weird, off-brand, pre-Jurassic Park dinosaurs, but at least they've been animated by the legendary Ray Harryhausen.

The Truman Show (w/ Miguel Conner)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 13:11:00 +0000

Lots of "metas" to wade through with Jim Carrey's first notable foray into a more dramatic role. We think a few Deep Thoughts, consider what it takes to make a satisfying life. and hold the film up to the mirror of Gnosticism.

And who better to join us on that journey than writer, podcaster, and deep diver into all things Gnostic, Miguel Conner. You can continue that dive with him over at his Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio, found at this link: https://thegodabovegod.com/

Luke is getting back into talking about large monsters, and you will want to hear him here - especially if you are into Monster Hunter: https://gintendo-namer.squarespace.com/monster-mash

When Worlds Collide

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 08:05:00 +0000

This one is a groundbreaking, early sci-fi feature - but it's also a mighty dry affair and serves up a heaping pile of 1950's weird racism. Matt and Luke try to unpack the ins and outs of this George Pal film about the end of the world.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (w/ Scott Atkinson)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:24:00 +0000

It's the Trek film so bad it's been effectively booted out of canon. But is it really that bad? Once we did our best to get past William Shatner's admittedly entertaining ego, we had a rollicking time and got into those deep questions about if we "need our pain," and "What does God need with a starship?" Joining us for the ride is Scott Atkinson, who you hear every week anyway on our intro. For more of his groove, check out this week's tunes from one of the many albums he's worked on with Matt: https://rovingsagemedia.bandcamp.com/album/atlantean-vibrational-sound Luke is getting back into talking about those larger monsters, and you will want to hear him here - especially if you are into Monster Hunter: https://gintendo-namer.squarespace.com/monster-mash

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 08:23:00 +0000

A year ago we watched Dark Fate, had a chat, and said we'd get back to it and T2 in a year's time. We stand by our word, homeslices.

The Thing (w/ Henrique Couto)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 08:13:00 +0000

Here's the Thing. Like, literally - we're talking about the Thing. Y'know - for our spooky October. Luke has always seen it as a seminal sci-fi/horror, while Matt had been afraid to watch it, but now he loves it.

Then there is Henrique Couto - director of spooky movies and narrator of spooky podcasts. He's got a fair amount to say about "The Thing," and if you need more, go here: http://hen.storenvy.com/

Preview! Monster Mash Episode 89

Monster Mash Podcast — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:00:00 +0000

What’s this? Luke’s other podcast, Monster Mash, is making its triumphant return? This is the comeback episode of Monster Mash, a podcast about the monsters from the Monster Hunter videogames. The podcast disappeared when Luke moved to Japan but it is back! It’s been slightly over two years but, energised by the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise we are podcasting about Hunting monsters again!This is a catch-up with the boys, their thoughts on Monster Hunter World two and a half years on and their speculations about the upcoming games and movie. Starting from next week, we’re picking right back up where we left off with a podcast about the Zorah Magdaros.

Re-Animator (w/ Andrew Shearer)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 08:37:00 +0000

The Sci-fi Sanctuary is getting a couple weeks spooky for this Octoberfest starting with "Re-Animator."

The Webster's Dictionary defines "re-animate" as to animate again. At least I assume it does - gI didn't actually check or anything. Also, Jeffery Combs.

And Andrew Shearer. He basically replaces Luke in this one since Luke was busy trying to become bonafide in a Japanese gym when we recorded this. Anyway, Andrew likes this one enough to have commissioned a script read of it with an all-female cast for his birthday a few years ago. Here is that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFnYDHMxe3I

The Fountain (w/ Von Galt)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 08:33:00 +0000

We've got a metaphysical, Hugh Jackman-sized puzzle box this week for you to solve with your interdimensional mind. All that, and some ruminations on Buddhism to get your thunker thinking - or better yet, not thinking. Today, we will talk about the iconic movie, "The Fountain", with Buddhist author, Von Galt. Von's recently released book, "Buddhist Mandalas: Explore Parallel Realities with Sacred Geometry" goes over the science behind everyone's energy field, which she calls your "Merkabah" and how everyone is a soul having a human experience according to her research. We will discuss these spiritual concepts touched on in the movie, "The Fountain" with Von: What is a merkabah that souls have? What is the Eternal Game of Samsara, the Wheel of Dharma, Enso Gamers, and Nirvana?

In Time (w/ Ricky Varandas)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 08:08:00 +0000

Gettin' your sexyback with JT in this high-concept sci-fi set in a dystopian world where everyone's time to live is literally ticking down own their forearms. Luckly, Matt, Luke, and guest Ricky had plenty of time to get into the details of this one. Especially the classic car details.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (w/ Sue and Sarah from Women at Warp)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 08:03:00 +0000

Wrapping up 80's sci-fi/comedy month with a film that is, of course, a full-on genre sci-fi that manages to deftly jump into those comedy waters. Yes, it is the Star Trek that bonk bonks you on the head about the whales and treats you to some colourful metaphors. Joining us for this romp is an away team from the fantastic Star Trek podcast Women at Warp. They take a look at Star Trek from a multitude of angles with a feminist perspective, and it is fantastic listening for all.

Bill and Ted Face the Music

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 08:26:00 +0000

Checking back in with Bill and Ted after a 30 year break. Guess they need to finally write that world unifying song... or do they? We're rolling along with an honest-to-Zeus sequel returning us to this excellent world.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 08:23:00 +0000

As our 80's comedy sci-fi month continues, Matt and Luke get deep behind the zen philosophy of Bill and Ted with this dive into their first few films. That, and we make jokes of questionable taste which may or may not be funny (why not comment and review!). And yes - we will be following up with the new one in the soon-soon.

Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 08:47:00 +0000

Rolling through our sci-fi comedy month is this duo of films that are as 80's as you can get. There may have been Wall-E, and 80's Robot, but Johnny Five was first - unless we count the NES's R.O.B. and some early industrial robotics.

Twins

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 08:28:00 +0000

We've seemed to have stumbled a bit into a sci-fi comedy month - we'll be getting to Short Circuit and the Bill & Ted films (including the new one) later this month. This one doesn't seem so sci-fi on the surface, but once you consider the genetic experiment resulting in the twins, and that weird engine in the boot of the car, it gets a pass in the Sanctuary.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (w/ Andrew Shearer)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 08:14:00 +0000

It's astounding!! There's nothing more of a cult film than this one. It may have "horror" in the title, but it is far from lacking in science fiction double feature tropes. Matt may have made it to about 20 midnight screenings of this one, but returning guest Andrew Shearer went so many more times playing Riff Raff as part of the cast that would go wild in front of the screen. He's the Great Gonzo of microcinema, and you can get started at his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonzoriffic/ This is a musical, and we went all out with a tribute EP. Andrew dragged his daughter into the studio for the occasion, and Matt got into his first beatnik groove in a while: https://rovingsagemedia.bandcamp.com/album/rockin-the-horror And let's not forget those smaller, Pokemon creations. Luke gets into those at: https://twitter.com/lukelovespkmn

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (w/ Larry Nemecek aka "Dr. Trek")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 25 Aug 2020 10:10:00 +0000

Star Trek III is that one hanging on back at the party. You probably wouldn't notice them much, but if you strike up a conversation, you may be in for a good time. I hope we managed that here. Today's guest is Larry Nemecek, who straight up owns the name "Dr. Trek." He wrote the literal book on TNG in the 90's, is a consultant for a myriad of things Trek (including the loved and lamented "Star Trek: The Experience" in Las Vegas), played a bit of McCoy on one of the better Star Trek fan films, and now rummages through Gene Roddenberry's file cabinets for "The Trek Files" podcast.

Minority Report (w/ Charlie Robinson)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 10:39:00 +0000

In 2002, it all seemed so fantastically dystopian. But in 2020, it comes across more like reality spiced with a few gallows humor anachronisms. We get deep into the dark vibe that pulses from the heart of this Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise jam. And we've got the right man to get that weird with us.

Magical Mystery Tour (w/ Dan Richter)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 09:19:00 +0000

This Beatles flick is more bizarrely fantastical than science fiction, but today's guest certainly has some serious sci-fi cred. Dan Richter is at the center of a Venn diagram of the grooviest art of the 1960's. He played Moonwatcher, the lead ape in the opening Dawn of Man sequence in "2001: A Space Odyssey," and yes, we get back to that for a bit here as well. He was a friend of Yoko Ono when she was pushing the avant-garde edge in the mid-60's, and later served as John and Yoko's personal assistant for the three years that included the Beatles' break-up, the "Imagine" album, and Lennon's most politically active period.

Batman Begins

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 10:48:00 +0000

SWEAR TO ME YOU WILL LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST!!! We will be getting to more Nolan films, but this is the last of our 2020 Nolan month, which ends without a new Nolan film. We get into militarized police, suicidal caterpillars, and loud bug noises. Maybe Matt should have chosen a nice snowy temple to record in like the League of Shadows' instead of this mid-summer one.

Inception (w/ Santiago Velasquez)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 07:42:00 +0000

The original idea was so do a Nolan month that would be capped off by Christopher Nolan’s new sci-fi, “Tenant.” In our weird world, that one has been pushed back to mid-September or more, but we’re rolling the ball anyway with 2010 action-blasting epic puzzle box, “Inception.” Joining us today is Santiago Velasquez, who played in a punk rock band with Matt in the 90’s, and is now a man of his own means, making PG-13 erotic female combat videos over at his site, Sleeper Kids World.

Interstellar (w/ Dr. Erin MacDonald)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 14:56:00 +0000

This week we’ve decided to add some class to an intellectually superior sci-fi film, but Matt and Luke are not the ones up for that job. Fortunately, we do have Dr. Erin Macdonald on the microphone, who is fully qualified to go deep into things like gravitational waves and the different zones of black holes. She is currently science advising for - all of Star Trek. Now, this film is not Star Trek, but it lives those Roddenberry ideals as hard as the best Trek does.

Total Recall

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 13:46:00 +0000

I think we’ve already made it clear that this is an Arnold positive podcast, and this one is about as Arnold as you can get. Director Paul Verhoven went as ultraviolent as possible (unless you count some of his other films), and we dive down into the nitty-gritty of this Martian civilizing, blood squib blasting, and absolutely tripped out mind-fragger of a film.

Independence Day (w/ Mark Malek from "Quaranstein")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 13:30:00 +0000

Luke is British and watches this every Independence Day. Mark is American, got sick in the theatre watching this, and would definitely not vote for Bill Pullman. Matt mostly just giggles like a loon. That’s three-fourths of the Gospel truth on ID4, and all of it if you’ll take in that Luke has “John” in his middle name. Today’s guest, Mark Malek, was involved in “Quaranstein,” a quarantined Frankenstein hybrid that you can read about here: https://filmthreat.com/reviews/quaranstein/ And Mark actually contributed the music you’re hearing between segments in this episode: https://stunrunner.bandcamp.com/ Luke also raps about Pokemon (sometimes literally) at Luke Loves Pokemon: https://soundcloud.com/user-454066594-507028725

Space is the Place

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 12:30:00 +0000

We rolled tape on this Blaxploitation, Afro-Futurist jam on May 24th, not knowing that the next day the whole world was gonna straight up open that putrid can of worms called “racism,” that had been taking up way too much space on the shelf. It’s not that we regret what we said here, but we obviously omit George Floyd, who was still thankfully walking at the time, and we jokingly dismiss white supremacists. We would have given them more firebrand hell the next day. Black Lives Matter. Why? Because the sheep that has come near the wolf’s mouth is the one that needs your attention at the moment, not the ones that are safe in the herd. This is why we’ve gotta put Black Lives Matter at the tip of our tongues at the moment. Lest us not forget, this film may be fantastically weird, but Sun Ra’s core metaphysics have never been more important than the moment you are calling Now.

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 07:32:00 +0000

Everyone loves this one, right? It’s like a Platonic solid of a movie. Luke and Matt needed some heavy artillery to do this one justice, so we are joined by Dave Turner of “The Computer Game Show” and “Star Call's” podcasts. Geek love is thrown at the flick, uncomfortable questions about yo’ momma are asked,and we try to flux capacitate our brains into the weird mechanics of time travel.

Godzilla

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 26 May 2020 12:39:00 +0000

Matt and Luke take on this monster of a flick from atop a rugged Japanese mountaintop. Be warned, the original is not one of the fun Godzilla flicks, but it happens to be the legitimately great one.

Color Out of Space

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 20 May 2020 07:44:00 +0000

It’s like the color, maaannn. And the space. And crazy Nic Cage having a go with Lovecraftian sci-fi horror.

Is he mad because he’s angry?…. crazy? Probably because he’s both? But hey, Matt and Luke are here to compare this film about a slow apocalypse in progress with your current experience living a slow apocalypse in progress. One thing this film definitely has is top notch vehicular action, Mel Gibson when he still had charm, and the creepiest villain this side of, uh, modern Mel Gibson.

Silent Running

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 05 May 2020 05:02:02 +0000

Bruce Dern pulls off the greatest social distancing, self-isolating hat trick ever as he murders his crewmates on the cargo ship Valley Forge, and heads off into deep space with only a couple of cute drones for company. Oh yeah, and the last vestiges of nature as the Valley Forge had been commanded to destroy its biodomes and return home (hence the murdering). How will Luke and Matt take on this philosophically deep movie with visionary design from sci-fi effects legend Douglas Trumbull (who also directs here)? Probably sophomorically.

Dragonball: Evolution

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 15:04:03 +0000

We is getting ballz deep in these Dragonballz!! Should I have used those Z's? You'll find that our view is that a few rectified mistakes might have made this a charming film, but those few mistakes made a lot of poopy in the bed. Ending April Ain't Sh!t with this very questionable film. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Planet of the Apes (2001)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 00:34:00 +0000

Maybe this bit of Monkey Magic isn't so much bad, but horribly misguided. It's like a puzzle where none of the pieces fit together, but a few of them are still quite pretty on their own. Is it enough to finally make monkeys out of Matt and Luke? Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (w/ Norman Lao and John Champion from "Mission Log")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Sat, 18 Apr 2020 10:51:00 +0000

Taking a break from our bad movie month to do a really good movie - with really good guests. The sci-fi geek who would besmirch the name of Khan is a rare breed indeed, and none of the four fellers in this discussion would dream of doing that. John Champion and Normal Lao join us from "Mission Log: A Star Trek Roddenberry Podcast" to get under the hood of this sci-fi classic with us and do Shatner impressions. John's already done a lap with Khan a few years back on Mission Log, but this is definitely a film you can double dip. Norman wasn't there for that conversation, so we wanted to give him the floor as the man certainly has things to say.

Ready Player One

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 10:03:00 +0000

Are you to live free, or not? Matt doesn't like this reference heavy dystopian fantasy. Luke sees the bet, raises, and profanely rages against this movie with his fist in the air. Now, this month is April Ain't Sh!t. - movies at least one of us actively dislikes. We didn't know that this one about lost people in a crumbling world - escaping into the digital - would end up being quite this relevant and timely. Damn reality.

Batman & Robin

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 13:09:00 +0000

This week, our latex-rubber nipple firm up for a discussion about Joel Schumacher's magnum opus. Matt is still pissed about his opening night impressions, while Luke is blinded by the Schwartz. But it's all in good gay fun. Why not have a gay time with straight men who like to wear pink?

Ghostbusters (2016) (w/ Andrew Shearer from Gonzoriffic)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 15:33:12 +0000

Matt and Luke, joined by Andrew Shearer from GOnZoRiFFiC, bop this train wreck of a film over the head with a shovel, toss it in the boot of a ‘79 Oldsmobile named “Bitch,” and sink it in the cold waters of Lake Erie. Or do they? Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Wherever you happen to be hearing us, really.

Bonus - Star Trek: Picard ("Et in Arcadia Ego Parts 1 & 2")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 13:43:45 +0000

Did “Star Trek: Picard” land with our intrepid podcasters? Listen and find out. We take a deep dive into this synthetic future and Matt romantically serenades Luke, and you, dear listener, with the Picard theme on a cello Matt doesn’t actually own. Please do subscribe, rate, review and all of that here, or on your podcatcher, or on YouTube.

Pacific Rim

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 08:13:00 +0000

Guillermo del Toro's 2012 film shows us a 2020 where the world must unite to fight monsters. Idris Elba plays a supporting role. So pop open a Corona Beer, sit back, and see if Matt and Luke can find any way to relate this fantastical film with the real 2020. Do like us here, subscribe and all that. We are also on Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, other podcasts, and all those sorts of things.

High Life

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 15:18:46 +0000

This indie flick takes an unflinching look at some dark, mature subject matter. Matt and Luke aren't really qualified for that, so we mostly prattle on about space dildos and Robert Pattinson's career choices. Do subscribe, like, and all of that. We're on Facebook and Twitter and searching "Matt Luke Sci-Fi" should get you where you need to go. Add "Sanctuary" if you're confused. This episode's music is all Nude Witchcraft, and doesn't live at the normal site, it lives here: https://damagedtape.bandcamp.com/album/nude-witchcraft-ep That one even has a fake trailer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoS4nRbrVtg

Bonus - Star Trek: Picard ("Nepenthe" and "Broken Pieces")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 13:05:24 +0000

The existential dread of “Star Trek: Picard” meets the warm fuzzies of TNG. How does that all work out? You most likely have your own answer to that question, but feel free to listen to us and hear the Sci-Fi Sanctuary take on that issue. We stopped even trying to weed out our own colorful metaphors talking about it, because “Star Trek: Picard” certainly doesn’t bother. I may sound a little cheeky, but we are absolutely digging this show.

The Matrix

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 15:11:32 +0000

You can't really have a Sci-Fi Sanctuary if you're not gonna invite Morpheus into it. We may not take the red pills in said Sanctuary, though. Yet, in light of this movie, Matt goes headfirst into the Gnosticism, while Luke serenades you with excerpts from the Matrix/Pokemon fan-fic he wrote when he was twelve. Said fan-fic is here: https://catfish.it.cx/trsrockin/trsrockin.com/pokematrix.html This week's music is from "The Electrick Book of the Dead," found here: https://rovingsagemedia.bandcamp.com/album/the-electrick-book-of-the-dead

Dr. Who and the Daleks

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 04 Mar 2020 21:48:00 +0000

Doctor Who mania quickly stoked this feature film, now on the big screen in colour and starring classic actor Peter Cushing as a man named, uh, Dr. Who. What could go wrong? What could go right? Regardless of what your opinion of this film is, a lot of things did go wrong in the recording of this episode of Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary. We had a Whovian expert as a guest, but he ended up inaudible. I suppose the silver lining is that we can bring him in another time for a better movie. But if you want to have a chaser after this podcast, ghost guest Josh previously got into the the nitty gritty of Doctor Who novels, games, comics, and other esoterica at his Oncoming Storm podcast, which you can find here: http://www.theoncomingstorm.libsyn.com/ Meanwhile, have a shout towards Luke and Matt at Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/415874449046073/ Or Twitter: https://twitter.com/mlsfspod?lang=en

Star Trek: Picard ("Stardust City Rag" and "The Impossible Box")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 14:07:45 +0000

Flash Gordon

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 07:36:00 +0000

This one is still a bit of a thing in the UK, and it's certainly a bit of a cult classic in the US. Matt and Luke take a bite into this eight course cheese dinner and try to Queen as hard as we can. Spoiler - we may not be very good at it. Have a subscribe and a share, and find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/415874449046073/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mlsfspod?lang=en

Star Trek : Picard ("The End of the Beginning" and "Absolute Candor")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 16:02:35 +0000

A little more of that Picard you dig so much. Episodes 3 and 4 may move at a relaxed pace, but we've got plenty to say about the philosophy behind the show. If you dig the cello interlude, you can find it here because Matt recorded exclusively it for this podcast after hearing it in Picard's holo-study. Where are we, mo-fos?

Forbidden Planet

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 14:27:00 +0000

It's one of those sci-fi chestnuts we've just got to address. It may be serious, but don't call it Shirley.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 15:03:59 +0000

In this very special episode, Luke teaches Matt to pronounce both "Jason Statham" and "zeitgeist," as Matt keeps mumbling the former and deranges the latter We also cover this spinoff of the Fast & Furious series, which has a transhumanist bent that was enough for us to call it sci-fi. This is basically Matt's first F&F movie, but Luke has had the run of all of them as we consider it's place in the franchise. Like, subscribe, and all of that.

The Fifth Element

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 11:07:00 +0000

This pansexual, fabulous, candy-coated sci-fi romp could have only happened at the time that it did. The Willis and Chris Tucker are in their prime, and Milla Jovovich definitely makes herself known. Gary Oldman's worth seeing as well, but he hates this movie, so whatever. We've opened up a portal to the 90's, declined Chris Tucker's credit card, and given Milla's '94 singer-songwriter album a spin. If you like this, do like us and subscribe on stuff like Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Perhaps throw a review our way as well. Type in some combination of the words in our podcast and you'll find us at Facebook and Twitter as well.

Star Trek: Picard ("Remembrance" and "Maps and Legends")

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 14:39:15 +0000

How many podcasts are going on about Picard? Probably quite a few. Still, here’s our fun-sized take on the first two episodes of the series. That’s only like 20% of the candy bar - and that’s all we’ve seen of this.

The Black Hole (w/ Andrew Shearer from Gonzoriffic)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 06:00:00 +0000

This is an oft forgotten, psychedelic colour blast of science fiction featuring some heavy hitters in the cast and some wild design. It is a good movie? That's up for debate, but it is undoubtedly an endlessly fascinating production. We get deep into that, as well as FX tips on how to turn a butt into a vampire. Disney's first live action take on sci-fi is a strange one indeed. And who better to bring in to chat about it than Andrew Shearer, director of "Space Boobs in Space" and the ringleader of the Gonzoriffic Underground Film Collective. He also happened to live across the street from Matt when they were kids. If you search for Gonzoriffic, it'll send you in the right direction, but here's how to open a portal to their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonzoriffic/

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 15:22:20 +0000

We’re digging the film, but let’s be real, we’re going for the jugular of the comic book mythos. Still, Luke was blindsided by the quality of the DC Animated Universe, and Matt thinks there is nothing better than RoboCop voicing Batman. But the real reason we had to get to Batman was so that we could show Luke’s past attempt to actually be Batman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_86IACz5lk8&t=1s

2001: A Space Odyssey

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 13:51:00 +0000

Matt and Luke get deep into the underpinnings of this very slow, but transcendental sci-fi classic by Stanley Kubrick. Do we let Dave in the pod doors, or just spin Pink Floyd on vinyl? Listen and learn. Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

King Kong (1933)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 12:16:00 +0000

It’s the big daddy of the (non-Japanese) monster movies and Luke has been chomping at the bit to chat about it. Meanwhile, Matt watched it long ago in film school. Hear us beat our chests at the gates of Skull Island!!!

Galaxy Quest

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 16:58:17 +0000

Matt thinks this is not only a solid sci-fi, but one of the best (defacto) Trek films. Luke thought this was just a comedy to quote, but now he's looking at geek fan culture then and now. Could you make this movie today?

Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 14:53:15 +0000

Oh Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars, Give me those Star Wars, Don't let them end. Oh Star Wars, If they should bar wars, Please let these Star Wars Stay.

Star Wars - The Last Jedi

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 14:31:00 +0000

Star Wars Month Continues! We’re gonna get controversial in this one because we’re getting properly stuck into Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Guess what: we bloody love it!

Star Wars - The Phantom Menace

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 02:18:14 +0000

Okay, we covered a shit film for Star Wars month but now we’re getting stuck into some legit, canonical, George Lucas Star Wars. This should be good, right? Right?

Star Wars- The Holiday Special

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 01:46:02 +0000

We’re having a bit of a Star Wars month here in the Sci-Fi Sanctuary, preparing ourselves for the end of the saga when the Rise of Skywalker hits us at the end of the month. For now we’re . . . enjoying? . . . the most seasonal of the Star Wars films.

Metropolis

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 06:20:00 +0000

Here’s quite possibly the very first science fiction feature film. It’s a classic, a masterpiece, a touchstone and lots of other words that mean it’s very old and very important, but how is it as a film? Listen and find out!

Terminator: Dark Fate

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 02:16:53 +0000

Our newest film yet! We recorded this one right after leaving the cinema, so it’s something a little new and different for us. The episode is divided into three parts: first, there’s totally spoiler-free chat about the film’s quality. Then we get into the themes of the film. Finally, we deal with some specific moments and details.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 23:11:03 +0000

Hey look! We’re talking about a film released this year. We can occasionally be relevant when we put our minds to it. This one was pretty unanimously derided when it came out, but Matt and Luke think there’s a little more discussion to be had than that.

The Terminator

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 23:26:04 +0000

This week, we’re talking about legitimately one of the greatest films ever made, and a personal favorite of both Matt and Luke. Plus, it stars the greatest actor of all time: Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you want to check out the Terminator knock-off Matt made when he was 12, you can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OUWeQ_hC_s Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

Transformers (1986)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 13:07:48 +0000

21 Years before Megan Fox and Shia Lebouf starred in Transformers, Leonard Nimoy and Orson Welles starred in . . . Transformers. Matt was alive in the 80s and Luke bloody loves Transformers, so get ready for some dumb chat about a very dumb film.

Serenity

Matt and Luke — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 05:57:45 +0000

We’re finally doing it. Skipping the foreplay and getting right into Joss Whedon’s cinematic directorial debut: Serenity. Spoiler alert, we really bloody like it. Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

Bonus Episode: Firefly Episode 01: Serenity

Matt and Luke — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 12:56:00 +0000

Hello friends! Here’s a little bonus to keep you amused between episodes.This was originally recorded as the first in our Firefly podcast, Brown Pants. Unfortunately we lost the recordings of episodes 2 and 3. Then we kind of gave up on making a Firefly podcast and made this podcast instead.Next week: We get to the juicy stuff and actually cover Serenity (the feature length movie that comes after the TV series, not the feature length pilot before the series).Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

Logan's Run

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 00:16:00 +0000

Here’s the film our podcast is kind of named after. Matt’s watched it hundreds of times, but doesn’t know what Tinder is. Luke watches it for the first time but has been rejected on Tinder many a time. Don’t forget to rate and review on iTunes, follow on Twitter, tell your pals.

Spider-Man (2002)

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 16:50:00 +0000

This was recorded a while before even the first hints of the Marvel/ Sony news, so don’t expect any discussion of that. Instead, you get some Spidey fanboying from Luke, some unexpected Sam Raimi trivia from Matt and lots of Willem Dafoe love.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Matt and Luke's Sci-Fi Sanctuary — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 03:55:00 +0000

Here’s something novel - a podcast where two white guys talk about science fiction movies! Matt and Luke start at the beginning with a little bit of good old fashioned Star Trek.
