For 65 we go from 1997's story of genetic engineering and human determination GATTACA starring Ethan Hawk and Uma Thurman to the latest movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ant-Man starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas.
Rayguns, Monsters, Old-Fashioned Futures, from Georges Méliès to Guillermo del Toro, from Brigitte Helm to Milla Jovovich, from Paul Wegener's Golem to Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark. A podcast about our love of speculative fiction cinema, casting a sometimes critical eye over the genre.

Martian Drive-In Podcast 64 - Ex Machina Advantageous.
For 64 I look at two smaller, recent (2015) science fiction films that have a lot more to say that any 250 million dollar blockbuster you could name. First Alex Garland's AI film Ex Machina starring Domnhall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander and then Jennifer Phang's tale of the future of work, women and humanity Advantageous starring Jacqueline Kim and James Urbaniak.
Both fine movie, both well worth watching.
Martian Drive-In Podcast 63 - The Best of Christopher Lee
This time around, to honour the life and career of cinema's coolest Dracula, I look at the five best Christopher Lee movies, in my subjective viewpoint. If you want to argue or disagree, please do.
Martian Drive-In Podcast 62 - Live At Continuum 11
This time around Grant Watson and I recorded live at Continuum 11 - the Melbourne annual science fiction convention. Nominally we were supposed to talk about The Age Of Ultron but we ended up at Adam Sandler, Orson Welles and other subjects of interest. Also, I presented Grant the box of goodies he won by being part of the Patreon Campaign.
Grant's own Patreon campaign for his movie writings is FictionMachine so go and support him too.
