  1. Nick Lowe’s Mutant Popcorn Extras, May 2026

    Nick Lowe’s Mutant Popcorn Extras, May 2026

    In this episode of the Interzone show, Nick Lowe, author of IZ’s Mutant Popcorn film review column, joined me to talk about the Odyssey and sf, about Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming adaptation of the epic, and about two other fantastic, fascinating versions of the Odyssey. Nick also recommended an amazing new Chinese film that I’m very keen to see: Per Aspera Ad Astra. It’s always hugely enjoyable to have Nick on the show, and this episode was especially fun, and one of my favourites.

    Nick Lowe’s Mutant Popcorn Extras, February 2025

    IZ’s Mutant Popcorn film critic Nick Lowe joined me on the show to look back at the sff films of 2024, to talk about some fantastic screenplays (including Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow and Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance), and to look ahead at some of the 2025 films we’re excited to see (including a read of some revealing IMDb tags). It’s the longest IZ show yet, full of great things, and was a lot of fun to make.
