The future isn't what it used to be in science fiction cinema. Aaron Wood & Paul Docherty talk about sci-fi movies old and new, asking the question: are modern sci-fi movies getting worse or are we just getting old?Two movies. Two decades. Every two weeks.

THE LOBOT MODS 012: Mars Attacks! (1996) / Attack The Block (2011)

They're here!!! In this final episode of LOBOT MODS season 1, we take a look at Tim Burton's sci-fi feature film MARS ATTACKS! and compare that with the 2011 UK action/sci-fi/monster feature ATTACK THE BLOCK. Two alien invasions. One by the skeletal would-be Martian overlords, the other from a bunch of ink-black plushies with radioactive teeth. Is the human race doomed? Not if John Boyega has anything to do with it.  In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty talk about the legacy of Cold War sci-fi cinema, and about the place of comedy in the speculative fiction genre... And about Star Wars... THE LOBOT MODS will return in ten weeks. See you in 2025!

episode THE LOBOT MODS 011: Planet of the Apes (1968) / Fantastic Planet (1973) cover

THE LOBOT MODS 011: Planet of the Apes (1968) / Fantastic Planet (1973)

Humans would make great pets! We take a look at the classic 1968 sci-fi feature film PLANET OF THE APES starring Charlton Heston, and compare that with 1973 animated science fiction film FANTASTIC PLANET. Two alien scenarios where humans are subjugated by an oppressive bureaucracy that seems all too familiar. Wild psychedelic fantasy? Or are these films expressions of contemporary existential dread? In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty talk about the ubiquity of Heston in the science fiction cinema of the day, and about how jazz-inspired animation may not have been the best direction Tom & Jerry ever took...

episode THE LOBOT MODS 010: Saturn 3 (1980) / Ex Machina (2014) cover

THE LOBOT MODS 010: Saturn 3 (1980) / Ex Machina (2014)

Mad men make mad mechanical people. Mad horny mechanical people.  We take a look at Stanley Donen and John Barry's 1980 feature SATURN 3 starring Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett, and compare that with Alex Garland's 2014 film EX MACHINA. Two wildly different takes on the Frankenstein archetype, both with wildly different takes on gender politics and libido. In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty talk about what merit if any sex scenes have in movies, and about Kirk Douglas' virility (which is what he would have wanted)...

THE LOBOT MODS 009: Moon (2009) / 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Two Artificial Intelligences hold human life in the balance. One is a monstrous, untrustworthy abuser. The other is Kevin Spacey.  We take a look at the legendary Stanely Kubrick classic 1968 feature 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, and compare that with Duncan Jones's low budget 2009 film MOON starring Sam Rockwell, Sam Rockwell and Sam Rockwell. Both have our desolate satellite and non-human caretakers in common. Do they share science fiction cinema greatness? In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty struggle to accurately remember SPACE: 1999 and debate whether having a rockstar dad is a valid sci-fi film credential...

THE LOBOT MODS 008: Rollerball (1975) / Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

Two future sports that tease the prospect of freedom. One is a meat grinder on wheels, the other is barely a game at all. We take a look at the classic 1975 feature ROLLERBALL starring James Caan, and compare that with Robert Rodriguez's big budget cyberpunk-ish 2019 manga adaptation film ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL. Do these films represent the future of death sports? Or the death of future sports..? In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty lament the lack of narrative velocity and question whether there is actually a playable game in either movie...

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
