Will Ross from the Film Formally podcast joins us on our discussion of Steven Soderberg’s Solaris. Ghost dogs and fake wives a-plenty. If you have any thoughts or questions, please let us know via [email protected] or follow us on Twitter.

This is our 50th episode. A cause for joy! An occasion to celebrate! And we’re doing so by announcing our hiatus. After next week’s Off Script, Ron and Bram will take a little time off, to regain some perspective and recollect their thoughts. We will be back, don’t you worry about that, we’re just simply ...

Sean Connery runs around a mining facility on one of Jupiter’s moons, trying to unravel a conspiracy which causes the crew to become suicidal. Outland crawls at an almost contemplative pace to give its viewer all the time to really see these fantastic sets through these fantastic compositions. This time, Ron and Bram are joined ...

Bram went out of his way and rewrote all the scenes we’ve had so far, whilst adding two more scenes, whilst getting all the Arabic wrong. Luckily, there’s Ron to touch up and rewrite the rewrites which have been rewritten. Loads of fat being stripped and fluff being thrown out in this greasy new episode. ...

A day on the job with Averie, a physical carrier of digital goods. We meet her right-hand Raniya (although only by voice), we meet her parents, and we enter skyscrapers, one thriving and one unfinished. And all the while we have an itching that Averie might be quite done with being a glorified USB-drive. You ...

The second and final adaptation of a William Gibson text was seen by even fewer eyes than the first. The fact that it features Christopher Walken, Willem Defoe and Asia Argento (a cursed threesome) hanging around in beige hotels did not help. Ron and Bram are joined by critic Kaj van Zoelen to make sense ...

For our third and final brainstorming episode we are joined by Rami Ismail (50% of Vlambeer) to discuss the misrepresentation of the Arabic language, culture and Islamic religion by Western media. Is the Pyramid of Giza actually surrounded by a desert? How accurate is the yellow filter? Does anyone get to finish their prayer ever? ...

A lone whisperbike carries our heroine Averie over the tarmac of a desert highway, a setting in which introduces some advanced water technology. All because Ron went extracurricular on last week’s set-up and gave our film its very first scene. You can read this week’s scene here (PDF). (Please bear with Bram’s audio quality this ...

The very first adaptation of a William Gibson property was highly anticipated. Directed by a visual artist and music video director and adapted by the father of cyberpunk himself, this film could’ve, at the very least, been a singular piece of cinema. But there’s a reason why Johnny Mnemonic is not the film that comes ...

And so it all starts with a scene that has been floating around in Bram’s head for half a decade. A new screenplay, a new saga. This time, we’re discussing the origins of cyberpunk via William Gibson and Ridley Scott, and how we would like to go into a different direction with our (you’ve guessed ...
