The red-headed stepchild of the Alien franchise gets a brisk going-over from Rob and Clive. Surrealist French director meets a series that badly needed a shot in the arm. It’s pretty out there. Worryingly, they find lots to like in Alien Resurrection. Have they been out in the depths of space maybe that little bit too long?

What can you say about James Cameron’s classic reinvention of the Alien mythos that hasn’t already been said?
Well, nothing, really, but Rob and Clive will give it the ol’ college try. Ripley as Final Girl? The themes of motherhood? Sure, why not, we’ll give it a go.
It’s not Game Over quite yet…

A highly influential take on the notion of the superhero team that would arguably lead to the cinematic version of The Avengers that we know and like quite a bit. But who are The Authority, and why should we care?
Rob, Clive and CycloMedia lay out the characters and story beats of a comics series that still has a lot of bite.
Alien. The movie that redefined SF horror and made the names of Sigourney Weaver and Ridley Scott. Is there anything more to say about this stone classic? Well, CycloMedia thinks there is, and it’s down to Rob and Clive to sort it out.
Who says podcasts can’t have a visual component? See, this is what I get up to when I’m left alone with Final Cut Pro.
Cripes! CycloMedia was deeply unimpressed with last week’s exploration of Douglas Adams. Join Rob and Clive as they try to placate the crazy calculator with a chat about Dirk Gently and Doctor Who. Let’s hope it goes a bit better this time around…
After some huffing and blowing from CycloMedia, who hates the notion of anything Apple-based with a passion (the darn thing won’t even have Appletise in the commisary), we’re pleased to announce that you can subscribe to the A To Z on iTunes!
It’s now easier than ever to get our epic triviality into your earholes. Just click on the link below, or the one in the sidebar. Your choice. They both do the same thing.
Off we jolly well go, then. In this first edish (it’s a word, look it up) of the A To Z, Rob and Clive discuss that most English of SF writers, the esteemed Douglas Adams.
It doesn’t quite go as planned…
