Half an hour till this

If you want to know where to find me at 8pm tomorrow evening, I'll be surrounded by Scottish fellas and immersed in Flux - and the whole thing will be live on the internet at the other end of this link. I might just choose Passenger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee15...

Tomorrow evening I shall be paying for some unrelated and long forgotten sin of my past, by appearing LIVE on The Polis Box : Live!'s trial of Flux Chapter Six: The Vanquishers. Will I be extolling its virtues or condemning it to the inner ring of Satan's anus? Find out in 25 hours' time...

Seeing as our last episode was a day early, here we are Fixing Eric Saward on a Thursday rather than the intended Friday. I hope he's ready for our clean-up campaign! strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-197...

Still time to get your thoughts on The Vanquishers to us ahead of the big series finale - we’re live with @markdonaldson.bsky.social and J.R. Southall from @strangerscast.bsky.social from 8pm on Friday!

If anyone can find the fuck I give about these two, please get in touch

According to the BBC, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says Rachel Reeves is hiking taxes to pay for welfare. There's a mic drop right there.

Here's Wednesday's podcast already, our chat about the photo of Billie and Paul that emerged at the weekend and more generally, the thoughts we've had about what 2026 might bring. strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-196...

Wish it could be Christmas every day? Well, perhaps not every day, but December is almost upon us and between now and the big day we're going twice-weekly with our Doctor Who-themed episodes, in our busiest month since the sixtieth anniversary. Plus all the usual film reviews and more.

We turn our microphones to the topic of the recently finished Alien: Earth, and ask ourselves if eight episodes of Alien on the telly is all our dreams come true, or maybe too much Alien... strangersinspace.libsyn.com/tv-club-87-a...

Our thoughts on *that* photo (audio edition on Wednesday) - plus a bonus hour on the problems with RTD-1 youtu.be/_nCUwKrXa1U

A chat about Reeltime Pictures' Myth Makers series of interviews, with a slight focus on two in particular, in honour of @toohot4tv.bsky.social Dylan's recent book on the subject strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-195...

We review the debut album Tell Me It's Not True, by new indie band Silk Cuts; if C86 and Sarah Records is your thing, or even if you just like authentic sounding guitar music, they should be right up your street. They are certainly up ours! strangersinspace.libsyn.com/music-club-e...

When are we going to drop the P and start calling him Resident Trump? Or better yet, the Senior Citizen Resident of the United States. Scrotus for short

After Pinocchio, Frankenstein feels like the next logical step for director Guillermo del Toro. But would we be able to sit through yet another adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-ex...

On the feed in the second half of November... we catch up with the Frankensteins, partake of some Silk Cuts, and watch a pair of Myth Makers (so you don't have to), before finding Aliens on Earth, fixing Eric Saward, and starting a Hammer marathon with an early pair of Quatermass adjacent horrors...

If post-The Smiths indie is your thing (particularly the C86/Sarah Records end of the spectrum) - or even if you just like bands that play instruments and make lovely music - then here's the video of our review of the debut album from Silk Cuts; audio on our feed next week: youtu.be/rUACNg63QsA

We'll be back on Friday the 28th of November, for the grand series finale, with @strangerscast.bsky.social's J.R. Southall and Darlington's premier David Bowie tribute act @markdonaldson.bsky.social! See you then! youtube.com/live/Ee15Pbp...

Five sequels, a prequel and a TV series suggest 1990's Tremors must have been a huge hit - although that must have been on home media because the box office itself wasn't exactly stellar. What does the movie look like 35 years on though...? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-li...

Oh you lucky people youtu.be/0M22vNhLyBA

A new member of the team takes over the job of helping to choose another ten classic Doctor Who stories worth revisiting in a modern reboot - and we have a new Doctor to choose stories for too. But what stories could we possibly have chosen for her? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-194...

Can't wait to see who they cast Michael Sheen and David Morrissey as, when they come to make the film about this current bunch of frumpy nose-talkers

My @barnabyedwards.bsky.social's 2001: A Space Odyssey painting (or rather a postcard thereof! - available by following the links in his profile of course) in pride of place watching over my Stanley Kubrick signature

A Film Club Duet of two "alien possession" movies from either side of the turn of the 1990s, The Hidden and Body Snatchers. But how well do they stand up more than 30 years on? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-du...

Mischief, melodrama and Memorabilia; it's our tribute episode to Soft Cell following the untimely passing of Dave Ball last week (with special guest Eric Drass aka Shardcore): strangersinspace.libsyn.com/music-club-2...

The Three Doctors, masterpiece or mediocre? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/who-review-e...

No sign of Jane's Addiction but we do get Matt Smith, in Caught Stealing, a "crime comedy" from Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley and the director of Mother! - plus an unlikely pairing of two actors who've both played Orson Welles on screen. Cue car crash...? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-ex...

Celebrating my Neighbours fanhood at Halloween with another package to unwrap youtu.be/1UHxH441GIU

Rounding out Halloween week on the StrangersCast feed, it's the audio version of our Wholloween Challenge in which we choose the Doctor Who story that best fits its All Hallows' Eve broadcast slot strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-193...

Disney have gone and the BBC are presumably hoping they'll regenerate into another streamer, but in the meantime they're resurrecting RTD (again) to cough up another Christmas Special. What can it all mean? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-192...

Halloween is very close now, and so what better time to take a closer look at Jordan Peele's three horror-with-a-twist-of-sci-fi films as director, Get Out, Us and Nope strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-75...

Our thoughts on today's Doctor Who news (audio later in the week) youtu.be/JSA07MGhPOo

Something else came in the post today, something from even further away youtu.be/dmT4SrHSjU8

Something very special arrived in the post... youtu.be/sEwpl5Y0zIQ

The audio of our Wholloween Challenge will be out Friday for Halloween itself, but we kick the week off with a duet of the 2000s' Dawn and Day of the Dead - and wonder if the first of those is the only time Zack Snyder and James Gunn have worked together? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-du...

It's Halloween this Friday, but if you don't want to wait you can tune in right now to our Strangers in Space Wholloween Challenge - in which we try and figure out what the best Doctor Who Halloween Special might possibly have been... youtu.be/U2aXG3NKP9o

Turns out Paradise isn't as easy to build as Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas might have thought, in Ron Howard's languid but beautiful new Galapagos-set thriller Eden; our thoughts: strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-ex...

It's time to turn the question of good taste in Doctor Who to the producership of Philip Hinchcliffe, and ask the question how far is too far? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/blue-box-191...

Halloween starts this weekend on the Strangers YouTube feed, with our Jordan Peele retrospective, some Remakes of the Dead and our choice of the greatest Doctor Who Halloween special to come on the audio feed next week...

Just 10 days left to see my painting exhibition, Brave New Worlds: A Century of Science Fiction Cinema, at the Picturehouse in Exeter. You can also view it online here: barnabyedwards.co.uk/brave-new-wo... There are still some pieces up for grabs, so I'll add them below. Please repost! Thanks.

The name's Bond, Jimmy Bond. We go back to the beginning of 007's screen journey, a TV adaptation of Casino Royale that reimagines the secret agent as an American while Ian Fleming's debut novel had barely been published. strangersinspace.libsyn.com/tv-club-86-c...

Michael Apted, Gene Hackman, Tony Gilroy, Hugh Grant, Elizabeth Hurley, Sarah Jessica Parker; Extreme Measures has quite the genealogy. But was it any good? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-li...

Daleks on the streets of London, Daleks in a mine in Bedfordshire, will Doctor Who ever be the same again? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/who-review-e...

Every now and again something almost as delightful and moving and funny as Local Hero comes along, but it's usually no match for the real thing. Could The Ballad of Wallis Island actually be as delightful and moving and funny as Local Hero? strangersinspace.libsyn.com/film-club-li...
