Gavin’s still in Singapore, performing in the play Tribes at the Drama Centre Theatre , and will be until 7th June, however  we’ve never been ones never ones to let a small thing like 350 kilometres get in the way of a natter , so we managed to get together for a podcast on skype this week to discuss the latest movies news, a heap load of trailers and review HBO documentary Going Clear: Scientology and The Prison of Belief, “comedy” Get Hard with Will Ferrell  & Kevin Hart, freaky sci-fi AI tale Ex Machina and Arnie taking care of his zombie daughter in  Maggie.

Guess podcaster Umapagan Ampikaipakan

…and we’re back!…..sorta. With Gavin still away in Singapore (for the play Tribes, which is running from 22 May – 7 June 2015 at the Drama Centre Theatre Singapore), I had to source some substitutes and that took a little longer than expected. Thankfully I was able to find someone in the form of Umapagan Ampikaipakan of BFM and the Cooler Lumpur Festival who in joins me on this week’s cast to ramble about all the geeky movie, TV and comic book news of the last few months.

Also on this week’s show we review Mad Max:Fury Road, Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland and SPY starring Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law and Jason Statham

Here’s the show notes for most, if not all the items we talked about on the show:

• Trailer for DC’s new TV show spin-off from Arrow and The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow
• First trailer for CBS’s new Supergirl TV show
• OK there WAS a second Supergirl trailer but it seems to have disappeared from the internets!
• Set pics from Captain America: Civil War showing updated costumes and first look at villain Crossbones
• Seth Rogen tweets the first set pic of Dominic Cooper in AMC’s Preacher TV show
• Second trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak
• Here’s a link to that Ron Perlman Book that Uma was talking about
• Trailer for new The Muppets TV show!

Cool Stuff

• Plans for a papercraft AT-AT Walker!
• Funny Jurassic Park themed ad seen online
• Awesome Stars Wars “Kirigami” (I think I mispronounced this throughout the podcast), single pieces of paper expertly sliced to create scenes from the movies
• Once you’ve watched Mad Max: Fury Road here’s a 2 hours Q&A with the cinematographer John Seale and 2nd Unit cinematographer David Burr ACS at ACS Victoria
• AMAZING silicone model of the “half” of Bishop from Aliens, with extra Lance Henrikson thrown in for good measure
