    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Terminator Zero

    Terminator Zero There may be no fate but what we make, but if this new animated take on the time travelling killer robot franchise is to be believed, there may be no fate at all! Before Terminator Zero we have had 6 Terminator movies, a Machinima series (?) a TV show exploring the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey interactions of Skynet, the Terminators and the human survivors lead by John Connor. Now for the first time we're exploring what the rest of the world was doing at the same time... in Anime form thanks to Production IG and Netflix! We're all in the time bubble for this episode, though as we're all in the buff, our eyes are staying very firmly above the neck. SYNOPSIS In 1997 Tokyo, Malcolm Lee is developing Kokoro, an AI system intended to compete with Skynet. A day before Judgment Day, Lee finds himself and his three children pursued by an unknown robot assassin and a mysterious soldier from the year 2022 has been sent to protect him. https://youtube.com/live/DjTYDRszz0k?feature=share In this episode we also discussed: Trap Slow Horses Only Murderers in the Building and The Legend of Vox Machina A huge thank you to all our regular robotos who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - The Crow

    The Crow People once believed that when a franchise dies, a crow carries it to the land of the dead (direct to video). But sometimes, something so bad happens to a film series that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the franchise can't rest. The Crow is that franchise, and despite it languishing in Development Hell for nearly 20 years it has now been resurrected to shamble onto the screen once more. Caw, Caw, Bang! it's a new Crow film! Dion, Quinny and Jill are the revenants haunting this review, and in the post show they also talked about the following: Megalopolis: https://youtu.be/j9_nPeKnpfE?si=S7gYv-1b4FAJpXH6 Drag Race: https://youtu.be/cc9lK6UTduM?si=ElfBSegkEpLXAeb_ Tales of the TMNT: https://youtu.be/qZo7A_XBNeE?si=GonKFdfqah8FhN0U The Penguin: https://youtu.be/sfJG6IiA_s8?si=a3ZmlD2Q4h0hWHfb Mortal Kombat: https://youtu.be/NYH2sLid0Zc?si=iLejNmPei_5EAc1B Synopsis Soulmates Eric Draven and Shelly Webster are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Draven returns to seek bloody revenge against the killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right. https://youtube.com/live/vO3MaX0zhME A huge thank you to all our goths, emos and sad-lads who listen avidly to each edition of the show (and The Cure, probably), especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Sunny

    Sunny In a future where our closest personal assistants are cutesy robots with giant heads, how do we cope if they decide they don't like us? Rashida Jones stars in Sunny this stylish and bizarre Apple TV sci-fi series which clashes robotics, grief, the Yakuza and '60s Japanese pop music into a fusion nobody was expecting. The whole crew is on board for this one, wether they be cute Japanese robots, miserable alcoholics or morally questionable Yakuza folks... Synopsis Suzie, an American woman living in Kyoto whose husband and son vanished in a plane crash, receives a domestic robot from her husband's robotics company. https://youtube.com/live/pIX-bPn0sqI And in their post-review discussion they cover topics like: The Office Australia Wondla: Jackpot: A huge thank you to all our regular robotos who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Alien: Romulus

    Alien: Romulus We are now 9 films deep into the Alien cinematic franchise (if you include the AVP films, which we do) and we are really getting to the point where marrying the lore of the early films to the later ones has become a full time job. Well, let us introduce you to Alien: Romulus, the hardest worker in that full time job... Who along with their spiritual sibling, the game Alien: Isolation, and Alien: Covenant they are the heavy lifters of the Alien Lore wheelbarrow. It's not all just backstory and religious allegories though, this new film is chocked full with action, horror, tension and quotes from other films in the series. *Slaps roof* you can fit SO many quoted lines in this thing! Dion, Quinny and Jill are your terrified survivors of this horror show, and we're still waiting to find out if the "Facehugger incident" at the premiere will result in anything untowards. Synopsis Space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life-form in the universe while scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station. https://youtube.com/live/Fgf5WU2PDLA Other Topics covered in this episode: Alien: Monday https://youtu.be/ShGElGusepA?si=39k30SPp-ZoOqpQu Kraven the Hunter Trailer: https://youtu.be/I8gFw4-2RBM?si=ZBrRa_H3zjZDci8g Umbrella Academy Season 4 https://youtu.be/J--H5NbTHf8?si=17WU2U-kIgXyI_Ya As always, the company thanks you for your input to the Weyland Yutani conversation on the Twitch stream, live on each Tuesday (or Wednesday) night at 7:30pm AEDST.

    TPToA Podcast 371 – Time Bandits (2024)

    Time Bandits We are turning back time to 1981 and at the same time it’s 2024 (in fact we're jumping all around the timeline, and all over the magical map)!  In 1981 Time Bandits was a Terry Gilliam film nominally aimed at kids with a stacked cast and a deeply weird premise. Time Bandits in 2024 is an Apple TV original series directed by Taika Waititi with a deeply weird cast and a stacked premise. Is it actually any good? Let’s find out together shall we? Synopsis Young history buff Kevin (Kal-el Tuck) can scarcely believe it when five weirdos emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. In this show we also talked about some other fun topics, which are well worth checking out. We talk a bit about: Batman: Caped Crusader - the new animated show on Amazon Prime Star Trek: Prodigy - The surprisingly good second season of which is on Netflix right now. Trap - the new film from M. Night Shyamalan and the upcoming wave of D&D based Lego Minifigs coming soon! A huge thank you to all our regular weirdos and bandits (and any who are neither) who listen avidly to each edition of the show, especially those of you joining in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!). If you haven’t done so before, take your reality hole exit to join in on our live show 7:30pm next Wednesday!

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Deadpool and Wolverine

    Deadpool and Wolverine It's the culmination of the Deadpool trilogy.  It's the wrap up of 24 years of X-men films and FOX owned superheroes, plus it's the gentle nudging of the Mutant agenda into the 616 cinematic universe... and it's the ONLY MARVEL Movie coming out this year. It was always going to be huge! We just didn't know HOW huge. Huge Jackman that is! Sorry. It's the biggest summer blockbuster this year and its more chock-o-block with references and cameos and in jokes than one of our usual podcast episodes. But is it actually any good?! Listen in dear friends and find out! The whole team are gon' give it to ya this time round. With Dion and Quinny arguing over who gets the tight red suit and who gets the claws. Meanwhile Peta and Jill are off saving the multiverse instead! Deadpool's peaceful existence comes crashing down when the Time Variance Authority recruits him to help safeguard the multiverse. He soon unites with his would-be pal, Wolverine, to complete the mission and save his world from an existential threat. As always, a meta-aware thank-you to the variants and forgotten cameos who join in with the heroic conversation on the Twitch stream, live on each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDST. And an especially huge thanks to any of you Deadpool or Wolverine Variants who are kind enough to support us by putting some of that sweet Marvel Cash into our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch... every bit helps us to get that cloying taste of Disney out of our buttholes.

    The Periodic Table of Awesome podcast - The Acolyte

    Star Wars: The Acolyte Somewhere along the line Star Wars became a Small screen universe, where the tales of Jedi and Sith and rebellions and empires got compressed into episodic dramas. The Acolyte continues the trend but now asks some very pointed questions about the Jedi, their unwavering belief in what is "right" and their complete lack of oversight. It's mind-bogglingly expensive, its incredibly divisive, and it's made the anti-woke brigade VERY angry. It must be Star Wars! Dion, is going deep nerd, Jill is Gonking, and Quinny is the droid you're looking for in this occasionally heated podcast review. Synopsis: An investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…. As always, a very force-ful thank-you to the imperial remnants and New Republic types who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live on each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDST. And an especially huge thanks to any of you Force users who are kind enough to support us by Jedi-Mind-Tricking others into putting a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch... every bit helps us to get that sweet-sweet star wars merch.

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Twisters

    Twisters Beware, you are entering The Suck Zone! Following cold on the heels of the original movie; Twister, 28 years later we are ready to get blown away by Twisters: the sequel that feels more like a straight remake than a true follow on from the story. But who cares right? Big wind goes swoosh! Hillbillies go "Yee-Haw!", and little budget line goes up... The whole team is in the house for this one, but Peta has taken the twister by the tail and lead us into a rewatch of the original film as well. While, Jill and Dion are out re-enacting their favourite moments, Quinny is taking on the role of the F5 twister with great gusto. Synopsis Haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado, Kate Cooper gets lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. She soon crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures. As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves in a fight for their lives as multiple systems converge over central Oklahoma. A huge shout out to our regularly scheduled windbags who keep us company blowing their hot air into the live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. An especially gargantuan thanks goes to any of you delightful disasters kind enough to support us by flinging your debris into our jar via Ko-Fi!
