Cinema Classics Number 4 - "It's a madhouse! A MAAAADHOUSE!!!"

With the Kingdom having just opened it's gates to cinema patrons we here at Cinema Classics felt it was a good time to look back at the original 1968 classic 'Planet of the Apes'. Our regular Cornelius and Taylor (aka Mike & D.K) are both here sharing host duties. They're joined by first time Silver Screen guest and Planet of the Apes superfan Nita from Sci-Fi Queens Podcast. Our wise trio will discuss cultural impact, underlying themes, origins, personal opinions and much more, including a whole lot of quoting from both the movie and a particular classic Simpsons episode (you know the one, I'm sure). So obey the Lawgiver and step with us into the Forbidden Zone as we dissect this iconic science-fiction classic.

"Get your stinkin' paws off me you damned, dirty ape!"

D.K's Cult Classics Episode 17 - "Ah, they're young: young people don't have too much fear..."

This month DK is joined by returning guest Nigel AKA the Kaiju Whisperer, as they take a look at arguably the most respected, yet undicovered gem from the world of Toho: The War of the Gargantuas. What will the Cult Classics team make of Gaira and Sanda... or Russ Tamblyn, for that matter? Hopefully their words won't get stuck in their throat.

"I don't feel guilt. I don't think they do either..."

Episode 74 - "Three hidden challenges test worthy traits, revealing three hidden keys to three magic gates. And those with the skill to survive these strengths will reach the end, where the prize awaits."

Welcome "Gunters" to another new episode of this here Silver Screen Podcast. If you didn't infer from the reference, this time we're looking at Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's ode to geek culture 'Ready Player One'. D.K is our Parzival this episode, alongside co-host Mike (who's recovering from an Oasis-esque geek experience at North-East Comic Con). They're "clanning up" with two guests; returnee and Gundam fan Tobi and first-time guest (and another self-proclaimed 80s "anorak") Glenn. They'll be talking Easter Eggs, references, writing, direction, pop culture, how the film relates to the source novel and much more. So pause your copy of 'The Shining', strap into your X1 haptic bootsuit, grab your Zemeckis cube, dress your avatar like Buckaroo Banzai and join us in The Distracted Globe. No Sixers allowed!
