The Project Project

This week we've watched 2024's Project Dorothy, a low budget sci-fi thriller about a killer AI let loose in a factory, and the two criminals who have to put a stop to her plans. But does this movie make the most of its interesting concept and limited resources? Tune in to find out.

Meanwhile The Oscars happened and Lewis watched them all. We discuss the winners, losers and gimmicks of the night, and Lewis gives us his ranking of the Best Picture noms.

This week we've listened to The Mandrake Project, the new album from Bruce Dickinson, best known as the lead singer of Iron Maiden for most of the band's career. But for his first solo outing in 19 years, was this worth the wait? Tune in to find out.

Meanwhile we've both watched the last 3 episode of True Detective: Night Country and talk about the series overall. Lewis has also continued his Oscars best picture noms with Past Lives and Killers Of The Flower Moon.

Semi-resident Spidey-fan David joins us once again to discuss the webswinging adventured of Peter Parker as he fights to untangle the web of conspiracy spun by the nefarious Life Foundation - featuring an unsurprising appearance from Venom!

Meanwhile David has been doing solving some magical mysteries in Hogwarts Legacy and reading spooky Scottish horror The Haar. Lewis has been reading kaiju-adjacent novel Island 731 and gives us a brutal review of Bob Marley: One Love.

To celebrate the release of Madame Web we've travelled back to 1994 to read an incredibly 90's comic arc - The Arachnis Project. We're joined by Spidey fan (and friend of the pod) David to discuss the first 3 issues of this story arc, our personal histories with Spider-Man & our favourite iterations of the character.

David's also been reading about trees in The Lost Rainforests of Britain, watching Riz Ahmed lose his hearing in The Sound of Metal & getting spooked by It Comes At Night. Meanwhile Lewis has been watching Oscar nominees The Zone Of Interest & Poor Things, as well as a film by Matthew Vaughn called Argylle. And Sam has been watching animated marvel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem & playing multimedia masterpiece Alan Wake 2.
