Prometheus - Caravan Of Garbage Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

The Alien franchise was flagging after the middling reception of the previous few entries including a crossover with the Predator franchise. In an effort to bring back both the prestige of Alien and Aliens plus the fan base Ridley Scott returned to the series with Prometheus. Set up as a prequel of sorts with echo's of future entries it assembled a steller cast, the help of Lost's Damon Lindelof and a huge budget. To this day it sits as an odd entry to failed to deliever on its promise but not without it's high points. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Oblivion - Caravan Of Garbage Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

It's our final entry in our 'That's a comic book movie?!?' series! And we're taking a look at an entry that's barely an entry, 2013's Oblivion. This is the first pairing of Tom Cruise and Joseph Kosinski who'd later reteam in the much more successful Top Gun: Maverick in 2022. Set in the apocalyptic future of 2077, there's a big triangle in the sky telling Tom Cruise what to do which you'd think would be fine but it might be bad actually.

Bulletproof Monk - Caravan Of Garbage Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

It's time for another look at a comic book movie that you might not think is a comic book movie! We're tackling Bulletproof Monk from 2003, the Chow Yun-fat and Sean William Scott lead action comedy that we discover is completely servicable and forgettable as a movie about a magic scroll that gives you some magic. The fight scenes are okay! The cast chemistry is okay! And the story is okay! What more could you want from a movie nobody has seen or ever talked about. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage revire

Barb Wire - Caravan Of Garbage Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

We're back with the next installment of our look at Comic Book Movies that people might not know are comic book movies! This week, the Pamela Anderson 1996 action vehicle Barb Wire. Based on the comic of the same name published under Dark Horse and Comics Greatest World it sees Barbara "The Wire" Kopetski facing a distopian nightmare future in the far flung future of 2017. And for a movie that isn't great it sure has it all. Fights! Motor bikes! Explosions! An extended stripping scene whilst Pamela Anderson gets hosed down for a really long time! What a time to be alive. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Timecop - Caravan Of Garbage Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

TIMECOP. Sorry I'm getting ahead of myself. Basically we like the idea of doing a series of videos on movies that you didn't realise were based on comic books. And in the first of four weeks we're taking a look at peak JCVD (Jean-Claude Van Damme), Timecop. A movie about a man who's both time and cop determined to stop financial criminality across the centuries whilst not really bothering with the actual ramifications. You can kill whomever in Timecop, it's totally fine don't worry about it. Hell of a movie though. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
