Episode 18 - Escape From LA

Surf's up on the wild wild west coast! It's 2013, and anyone caught doing anything remotely fun is exiled to a run down Los Angeles where they're forced to listen to bad nu metal. Yes, it's John Carpenter's 1996 sequel Escape from LA, the final part in the Great Directors, Bad Films trilogy. It's gang warfare on this instalment of the Video Negative podcast, as Tim faces off against Dan and Ol over two very differing opinions of this much maligned/deservedly hated (whichever way you look at it) sci-fi yarn. Also featured: the gang run down the top 5 worst special effects out of the films they've looked at, Ol details why he loves John Carpenter so much, and plenty more inductees into the Vid Neg hall of shame. Plenty of mass debating on this one!

Episode 17 - Mars Attacks

We land on barren fields in the Arizona plains, as the three teenagers from Mars (neither of those are true) take on Tim Burton's surprisingly rubbish sci-fi/disaster parody/homage/rush job Mars Attacks, the second in the Great Directors, Bad Films season. Why does it take forever for things to get going? Why is such a talented cast misused so badly? Just how scared of this film was Ol as a child and which all time classic film does he hate? All this and more on the latest episode of the Indescribable! Unbelievable! Indestructible! Video Negative Podcast.
