    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Masters of the Universe (2026)

    Masters of the Universe (2026) 450!!! Holy crap people!!! This is our 450th episode! and its about Masters of the Universe! Thats a whole lot of Podcasting… For this momentous milestone we are doing what we do best: diving headlong in and compounding some Elements of Awesome into something great: this is us mixing in a half tonne of “‘80s nostalgia” a few cups of “sweet ass toy-line”and then filtering it through the lens of “Summer blockbuster movie” with just a dash of “music by Queen”! We are heading to Eternia and checking out The Masters of The Universe movie from director Travis Knight! (We keep it spoiler free for the first half) Join us as we find out: Is this tentpole He-Man based action-adventure film juiced up with The Power of Grayskull or has it been brought low by the evil forces of Skeletor (or Jared Leto in this case)? Dion, Quinny and Jill are all arguing over what their Masters of the Universe name should be, mostly because nobody wants “Rim-job” or “Felch-or”. Synopsis After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia, where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto).To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe. https://youtu.be/4kmireaj30c A huge shout-out to the  heroic warriors (and the evil forces of Skeletor) who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And especially to those who have decided to stop their search for the diamond ray of disappearance and other powerful artifacts of Eternia to be super lovely, generous weirdos of all species!

    The Periodic Table of Awesome podcast - Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

    Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) has taken the rocket powered leap from the small screen to the big screen and he’s brought his little green pal, baby Yod…. Ahem.. sorry… Grogu with him. It’s been 7 long years since Star Wars was in cinemas last, so here we are, finding out if this latest offering is worthy of being in “the movies” or if it’s actually just five TV show episodes in a trenchcoat. In this podcast you will find out if… this is the way. Or if it’s more “wrong way, go back”. Fire up the hyperdrive with New Republic Commander Jill, badass bounty hunter Dion and Underground-Fight-Club Hutt gladiator Quinny. I have spoken. Synopsis: The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu. https://youtu.be/MA2cRCQb_ow A huge shout-out to the bounty hunters and Rebel Scum who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And especially to those who have decided to stop their search for errant imperials and other dangerous remnants of the evil empire to be super lovely, generous aliens of all species! Thanks for supporting us directly via our Ko-Fi jar and now also by subscribing on Twitch!

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Remarkably Bright Creatures

    Remarkably Bright Creatures This week’s pick isn’t a loud franchise sequel or a cinematic universe tentpole. Instead, it drifts in on quieter currents. Remarkably Bright Creatures began life as a much‑loved novel, the kind that lives on bedside tables, book clubs, and “you should really read this” conversations. Its screen adaptation arrives via Netflix. It leans into reflective storytelling rather than spectacle. At its heart is a gently unfolding story about unlikely connections, emotional repair, and the strange ways people – and creatures, help each other survive. It’s the sort of film that invites thoughtful discussion rather than demands instant hot takes… which makes it incredibly dangerous for one of our podcasts. On review duty this episode are Jill, Dion, and Quinny: One of them is a secret cephalopod and you’ll never guess who…. https://youtu.be/lmp9LLXrAGY A huge shout-out to the sexy cephalopods from all the seas and oceans who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And especially to those who have decided to be to be generous to us stupid humans and drop your underwater booty into our aquarium.

    The Periodic Table of Awesome Podcast - Mortal Kombat 2

    Mortal Kombat 2 It’s been 5 years since the last Mortal Kombat film was almost apologetically released onto our screens in a mid-covid streaming-first market. It was a moderate success at the time and folks were generally taken with the humour, the action beats and the relatively lore-accurate storyline. They were less interested in the new lead character Cole, who had never appeared in any MK story up to that point and whose main power seemed to be getting the seven shades of shit kicked out of him. Director Simon McQuoid has taken his licks on that one and has made the smart decision to follow up on that first story with a very different focus, and a lot of improvements. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation sits at the very top of the pile of worst sequels, and most crushing disappointments ever. Lets hope that this sequel doesn’t need the same tag line “Destroy your expectations”. It’s a 1 vs 1 match tonight with Dion in the red corner, and Quinny in the other colour non-descript corner (he can’t tell he’s colourblind!) we can only assume Peta and Jill are having their own knock-down drag-out fight in some other arena! Synopsis Johnny Cage joins other fighters in the ultimate, no-holds-barred battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn, a powerful tyrant who threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. https://youtu.be/TaiIWS05TCw A huge shout-out to the Kombatants from all realms who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And especially to those who have decided to be to be super lovely, generous humans and drop your Kombat Koins into our Koffers!

    The Periodic Table of Awesome podcast - Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord

    Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord Star Wars has become an increasingly Televisual universe and who would have thought so many years ago, that animation would actually give us some of the most epic and anticipated match-ups the fandom has ever wanted. Maul: Shadow Lord is the latest animated offering from Lucasfilm this time exploring a part of the history we know very little about. And the machinations of one of the coolest and most intimidating villains: Dryden Vos. Also Maul is in there too jumping around and being all mopey and shit. Will this show align into a unified Solo inclusive Timeline? will anyone care? GONK! Synopsis Set shortly after the Clone Wars, we follow the former Sith Lord as he rebuilds his criminal syndicate, Crimson Dawn, during the early reign of the Empire. Based on a Force vision, Maul targets the underworld, confronts Inquisitors, and seeks to corrupt a disillusioned Twi’lek Jedi Padawan, Devon Izara, to be his new apprentice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjw8vciJgKY A huge shout-out to the Sith lords and ladies who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And especially to those who have decided to stop their search for errant Jedi and other dangerous insurgents to be super lovely, generous humans!

    The Periodic Table of Awesome podcast - Deadloch Season 2

    Deadloch Season 2 Instead of a return to the sleepy seaside Tasmanian village of Deadloch, Season 2 of the hit show takes us right up the top end! With a cast of wonderfully weird characters, both new and old, crocodiles, bogans, dismemberment and a million creative ways to say “it’s f****n hot“, Deadloch proves that “The Kates” are a creative force to be reckoned with. Who would have thought that chaos lesbian cop dramedy would be right at top of the “most anticipated” list for 2026!? The whole team is in for this review and be aware it is VERY VERY full of swearing…. moreso than usual! That means a lot of the C-Bomb! You have been warned! Synopsis Dulcie and Eddie have headed to Darwin to start investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy. But when the body of a Top End icon is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a sweatier, stickier investigation. https://youtu.be/IV3X2vwAms0 A huge shout-out to the Barra Bashnanza competitors and Crocodile owners who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.
