Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials - Caravan Of Garbage Nov 05, 2026

Show notes

After a brisk one-year wait, The Maze Runner returned with its second entry, The Scorch Trials. And it's shocking to some, but not others, the huge drop in quality in terms of narrative. The boys from the maze are dumped into a wider world of baffling conspiracies and various encampments as they hunt for... a cure for the newly revealed zombie virus, or safety, or maybe the answers to another mystery I've already forgotten. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

647 Rest in peace Patrick Stewart & Primetime Nov 02, 2026

Show notes

Very sad week with news of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart after a brief battle with illness at the age of 86. We celebrate his life and the many iconic performances and roles he took on, plus his passionate advocacy. In additional sad news, we discuss the deaths of both veteran Star Trek actor Walter Koenig and legendary voice actor Eric Bauza. Plus, we talk about some DCU canon updates in relation to The Suicide Squad, Batman's age and casting, and what death means in this universe, huge budget revelations for Deadpool & Wolverine and Elden Ring, trailers for Dune: Part Three and a new Avengers: Doomsday, and we review the movie Primetime with Robert Pattinson (we don't actually review it with him; he couldn't make it, unfortunately, but he is in the movie). Thanks for listening.

The Maze Runner - Caravan of Garbage Oct 29, 2026

Show notes

The 2010's were absolutely choked with movie adaptations of young adult dystopian novels where the world is bad but there's a special girl or guy and also there's a sci-fi twist but also an evil organisation or government. And let's be honest they didn't always work with a few notable expections, one of which being The Hunger Games. But we looked at those already so we're gonna talk about the Maze Runner trilogy starring Dylan O'Brian and directed by Wes Ball. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li - Caravan Of Garbage Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

You can blame the MCU for giving the good people over at Street Fighter HQ the idea they could make a series of prequels leading up to an actual Street Fighter movie. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li from 2009 tells the origin of Chun Li as played by Kristin Kreuk as she takes on the villaneous Shadaloo headed up by the always Irish M. Bison. Hilarious and baffling movie all round with an incredible performace by Chris Klein and the inclusion of some of your favourite characters like Balrog and Vega handled completely wrong. There's a lot to unpack with this one and I'm not even sure we covered it all. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie - Caravan Of Garbage Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

1994 gave us two video game to movie adaptations of Street Fighter, Street Fighter starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, which, although fondly remembered now, was much maligned at the time for being cheesy and inaccurate, and the anime adaptation Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie. The second of which adheres much closer to the video games and managed to turn a tidy profit despite a limited release. It's famous for brutal fight scenes, a wide character roster and a completely out of nowhere Chun-Li nude shower sequence. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

Blade Runner 2049 - Caravan Of Garbage Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

There are very few legacy sequels that match or potentially surpass the original, often they end up being tired retreads of what came before. Blade Runner 2049 is one of those few exceptions, coming 35 years later and helmed by Denis Villeneuve it reintroduces us to the ruined future with updated elements like more compliant Replicants, AI girlfriends, horrendous poverty and Harrison Ford in a t-shirt. It also has Ryan Gosling as K doing his own version of Blade Running around with hologram Ana De Armas. Incredible movie. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
