    Unnecessary Star Wars Origin Films and War of the Worlds

    This week's show is largely a chat about the comparative lack of necessity for the Star Wars "Origins" movies, Rogue One and Solo. Meanwhile, coming soon on BBC 1 is a new adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. But of more immediate interest is whether Brian Terranova has experienced Jeff Wayne's seminal concept album...

  3. Obligatory Avengers Endgame Review: I Love You 3000, Tony Stark--SPOILERS!

    Obligatory Avengers Endgame Review: I Love You 3000, Tony Stark--SPOILERS!

    Right, so, yeah, we actually went and saw it. And honestly, by the time this little audio gem reaches your ears, the cinematic behemoth that is Avengers: Endgame should have well and truly graced your eyeballs. I mean, it's taken a good fortnight for us to wrestle our thoughts into some semblance of order and get this recorded for you, hasn't it? And let's be real, the buzz around this thing is insane; it's practically a foregone conclusion that it's going to snatch the crown for the biggest movie. EVER. So, settle yourselves in, maybe grab a cuppa, and prepare to have your eardrums massaged by the dulcet tones of yours truly, Christian Cawley, and the ever-insightful James McLean. We're going to be diving headfirst into some of the real standout moments, those breathtaking sequences that had us on the edge of our seats (and maybe shedding a tear or two, no judgment here). We'll also be picking apart some of the major themes that resonated with us long after the credits rolled. But, being the inquisitive minds that we are, we couldn't just let it all slide without a bit of scrutiny, could we? So, brace yourselves for a healthy dose of discussion, perhaps even a little debate, about the rather… flexible approach the film takes to the whole time travel conundrum. Let's just say, the science of it all isn't exactly airtight, is it? Still, inconsistencies aside, it was quite a ride, and we're eager to share our thoughts with you.

    Are Action Figures Ever Quite What You Expect?

    What's on your shelf? Any Doctor Who figures? Perhaps one or two classic Star Wars action figures from Kenner? Or did you prefer robots in disguise? Whether you still have those old toys, or you're simply a modern collector - or you just love the nostalgic reminiscences - Christian Cawley and James McLean are here to have a general chat about 1980s (and some 90s) action toys. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, MASK, and even Blake's 7 all get a mention...

  7. Macbeth Movie Director Kit Monkman Talks

    Macbeth Movie Director Kit Monkman Talks

    There has been much talk in recent weeks about the RSC's production of Macbeth, but turn your glance to the silver screen (and streaming platforms) and you'll find that Shakespeare's most abject analysis of greed, ambition, and lust for power, is wowing select audiences around the UK. Directed by Kit Monkman and starring Mark Rowley as Macbeth, Akiya Henry as Lady Macbeth and Al Weaver as Banquo, this is a stunning movie that mixes the traditional approach with a rich visual language, a tapestry of of vividly imagined locations presented as CGI set dressing for the story to unfold against. The movie summary is as follows: "Brilliant young general Macbeth pulls off a glorious victory in battle before returning to an indolent court where honours are dispensed by whim. Spurred on by prophesying drifters and an ambitious wife, Macbeth sets his sights on the throne. In Kit Monkman's adventurous new adaptation, this compelling tale of unchecked ambition, soured friendship, lost intimacy and the descent into nihilism is encountered in a strange and claustrophobic territory partly conjured by the mind." To find out more about the movie and its ambitious use of green screen, Christian Cawley spoke to Kit Monkman.

  8. Is Thor Ragnarok the Greatest Marvel Movie Yet?

    Is Thor Ragnarok the Greatest Marvel Movie Yet?

    The Marvel Cinematic Universe has fired a few massive hits off over the years, but have any been as massive (and dare we say, iconic) as Thor: Ragnarok? With its heavy 80s/90s feel, brave casting and a fresh new take on Hemsworth's po-faced Thor, Ragnarok does space adventure in a way that Star Wars: The Last Jedi simply cannot. We're not entirely sure how this movie has proven so memorable, but we do have an idea. Listen in as Christian Cawley and James McLean investigate how the amazing retro-themed visual and audio experience of Thor: Ragnarok has grabbed its audience. BeyondKasterborous brings you weekly discussion and news from the worlds of Doctor Who, The X Files, Star Wars and more. ---  Follow us online at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podkasterborous/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/kasterbeyond iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/doctor-who-the-podkast-with-a-k/id1045277918?mt=2 Website: http://www.beyondkasterborous.com
