Remote Viewing

The usual suspects are back for episode 97 of Remote Viewing and they just won't shut up for the hour plus running time of this episode... which is kinda their job, but elroy is particularly guilty of not shutting up this time 'round! Elroy, Fiona and Brett talk up Luke Cage, Fleabag, Star Trek Beyond, ARQ, Citizenfour, Day 5, Hex and a whole lot more!

After yet another delay -- this time Elroy had to pack up the Remote Viewing studio, move to a new home, and set it all back up again -- Brett, Fiona, and Elroy at back at the mics catching up on the stuff they missed out on talking about while it was actually topical. Suicide Squad and Stranger Things feature in this mishmash episode which covers everything from netflix original series to kids animated movies.

It wasn’t our intension to have an extended break, a series of unfortunate events happened, unfortunately and the break just happened - But after several failed attempts we’re back! Fiona, Brett, Elroy, and for a very brief moment, Emma, talk about the new Ghostbusters flick - They mention a couple of other things too, but seriously it's pretty much all Ghostbusters this and Ghostbusters that. Chances are you’ve heard of it by now… but you haven’t heard us talk about it. but then, you haven’t heard much from us for a while now!

It's time we talked about all the versering that's happening between super powered beings in the movies! Tristan, Brett, and Elroy turn their nerd up to eleven in this episode and, with only a couple of deviations, they spend the whole time flipping between their thoughts on Superman vs Batman and the One-half-of-the-MCU vs The-other-half-of-the-MCU that is Captain America: Civil War. Do these nerds agree? Will it be war? Will it be civil? Who knows? Whatever you do, heed this SPOILER WARNING: There are spoilers! Like, all over the shop.

We’ve jumped back to the mics to continue on from the previous episode - discussing a few of the things we’ve seen, which didn’t make it onto the last show. Brett had made it to the cinema to see The Jungle Book, and tells Elroy and Fiona all about it… and given his hatred of kids movies I think everyone can guess the end result of that! Notice: This isn’t our Civil War episode. That’s coming soon!

After another long break, a new year, some holidays, some blockbusters, some duds, and a failed attempt at recording this episode, we finally got back to the mics and managed to record episode 92! There’s a lot to cover so there’s an extra half an hour or so of this ep! Brett, Elroy, and Fiona cover the gamut as we play catch up and discuss our media consumption of the last few months!

STAR WARS! You may not be aware of this, but there's a new Star Wars movie out. Well, there is and Emma, Brett, and Elroy spend the entirety of this episode discussing it and while there are spoiler warnings aplenty they manage to avoid actually spoiling the spoilery spoiler of all spoilers. It goes without say that, if you haven't yet seen The Force Awakens, then you should probably avoid listening to this episode - despite, as I said, the fact that we never actually say the thing that will spoil the thing that spoiler spoiler spoiler - Just go see the movie... then come back and listen to this.

It’s a full house on this episode of Remote Viewing! It’s actually our second take at episode 90 - we recorded a full episode, but the computer pixies made the files go bye-bye. In this second take Elroy, Fiona and Brett are joined by returning panelists Emma and Simon and they discuss all the stuff they’ve been watching: There’s Bond, Gothic Romance, Kids movies, and a completely unforced connection between just about all of the movies and TV shows that are discussed… see if you can pick up on it!

On episode 89 we celebrate future day, even though it’s now in the past, but we’ll blame that on the technical issues that plagued the post production of this show - While we’re on that subject, huge apologies for the random static which occurs during this episode. But looking (back) to the future, we talk about some of our (and your) favorite visions of the future!

The usual array of technical, social, and lackadaisical reasons have caused the delay of this episode's release. So late is it, that we don't even discuss the movie The Martian on it, because it hadn't even been released at the time we recorded this! We did however discuss a whole bunch of other stuff, and Fiona even left the house to see TWO movies in readiness for this episode! Elroy parked himself on the couch and caught up with a bunch of TV and movies, and Brett did what Brett does: read some books!

The regular team of Fiona, Brett and Elroy man (and lady) the mics again in this episode which covers a whole bunch of the movies, tv shows, and books that they’ve been consuming. Elroy hit the cinema to see The Man from UNCLE and hit the couch to watch a couple of new shows. Brett’s been reading up a storm and watching a lot of The Inbetweeners, and Fiona hasn’t seen anything, but we like having her around anyway. This episode also features a tribute to the work of Wes Craven.

Technical difficulties have hampered the post production of this episode, but it’s here at last! Fiona, Brett, and Elroy come to the mics again to bang on about the stuff they’ve been reading, watching, and listening to! Fiona saw the documentary Being Evel. Elroy’s been watching Terra Nova (so that you don’t have to) and Mr Robot (which you really should be watching too!), and Brett has been reading Abomination, and Station 11. This episode also has a bonus discussion topic: Just deserts! The team take some feedback and discuss some occasions when characters have received the comeuppance they deserve!

The usual suspects return to the mics in episode 85 of Remote Viewing: Fiona, Brett, and Elroy have been playing catch up! Fiona finally gets to give us her opinion of Jurassic World and Ant-man. Based on Anna's recommendation in the last episode, Elroy finally watched Ex Machina. Brett's been hitting the books and gives us the guff on Under the Skin and Abomination. Eventually the team get to discussing some of their all time favourite, most memorable, or goriest movie and tv show deaths - with help from a bunch of people who played along live on twitter and Facebook!

Anna, Brett, and Elroy take to the mics again in episode 84 to talk science fiction aplenty! Anna indulged in a double feature at the cinema, taking in Inside Out, Ex Machina, and a cheeky glass of red! Brett read The Annihilation School, a novel which makes mathematics sound sexy, and Elroy’s long stint of waiting outside the cinema for a new Marvel movie to be released finally paid off and he does exactly what you expect him to do and that’s sing the praises of Ant-man. And as an added bonus, once again hear Brett attempt to defend the uselessness of Aqua-man!

Brett, Emma, and Elroy return in this episode and discuss two films that couldn’t be further from each other: The latest instalment of the unstoppable cyborg franchise, Terminator Genesys, and the most recent feelings kicker from Pixar, Inside Out. There’s some classic science fiction book talk, some random movie and entertainment news, and some lovely listener feedback! Eventually Emma even manages to get a word in edge ways!

It’s a full house for episode 82! Fiona, Emma, Brett, and Elroy vigorously debate the quality of the latest entry in the Jurassic Park franchise: Jurassic World. The debate is somehow resolved using a combination of ebay feedback lingo and elephant stamps. Fiona talks Minions. Brett talks home invasion horror. Everyone revisits The Thing, Wayward Pines, Sense8, and a bunch of other stuff!

With the sequel series to Twin Peaks being discussed at the moment the team take the opportunity to discuss some current TV shows which fit into the weird mystery series mould. Elroy and Brett have been watching the new Netflix series by J. Michael Straczynski and The Wachowskis, Sense8. Elroy has a crazy, unsubstantiated, theory about the happenings in Wayward Pines. He also discusses the first few episodes of Between, and rants quite a bit! Oh, and Fiona watched Star Wars Episode 4... which she hired from a video store, because that's how she rolls.

This episode was almost as epic and chaotic to create as the movie we discuss the most on it is (Mad Max: Fury Road). We rescheduled and rejiggered until we finally cobbled together something of a jig saw puzzle of an episode for our 80th outing! Fiona gets to gush about Mad Max (and ‘It Follows’) in a 15 minute pre-recorded segment. Elroy and Brett are joined by Stacey and they discuss Brett’s missed opportunity to be a children’s television show host. Elroy goes on a time-travel rant that nobody can follow, and Stacey brought eurovision to the party... Oh, and _they_ talk about about Mad Max too!

With Fiona still on the bench sick (the reason we didn’t record last week) we’ve called Emma back to the mic! She, Brett, and Elroy go toe to toe about their thoughts on Avengers: Age of Ultron - It's a mild disagreement, lets just leave it at that! Brett has caught up on Daredevil, Em has been watching classic X-files and Elroy suffered through Jupiter Ascending, and a whole bunch of other stuff (mostly somehow or another related to the Avengers, like what a massive tosser Jeremy Renner is). Get well Fiona!

With Age of Ultron hours away from release and Daredevil just out of the oven Fiona, Brett and Elroy hit the mics again to squeeze another episode in before they go all Avengers bonkers and forget what it is that they've been watching and reading recently. As it turns out - pretty much as a result of everyone have at least watched an episode or two of Daredevil - this is an episode that is heavy on the comic book content! That said, Fiona did manage to leave the house to see Inherent Vice. Force this episode into your ears quickly, because there'll be another one coming out real soon!
