[Drift #76]

Our Marvel shows continue with this tiny treasure of a movie.

For the best experience combine this with our School of Movies YouTube episode on Ant-Man and the virtue of the small.

Also when this goes out in podcast form it will be on the new feed so be sure to find and subscribe on iTunes. You’ll know immediately which one the new Digital Drift is.

Also come to our new podcast blog on Podbean and click FOLLOW. We’d like to see how the social networking works on there.

James Carter of Cane and Rinse, Lorin Grieve of A Year of Steam and Mike Hearn of Walter the Wicked (who created the art you see below) join us to discuss the pint-sized pugilist of the Marvel universe and why we loved this story so much.

Marvel have changed the way long-running movie series’ are produced with multiple interlinking stories. Considering the blockbuster status of every one of them why does occasionally going small actually benefit them in the long run.

Question of the Week: Which movie with an epic scale and massively high stakes, had you absolutely gripped, and why?

We bring our Terminator shows to a close with a discussion about the brief but brightly burning TV series. This managed two seasons, which is more than most Fox shows and the ending is abrupt but satisfying, hinting at greater depths in further episodes.

However, in it’s lifespan it managed some of the most cerebral, emotional and fascinating moments in Terminator mythology leaving the three most recent movies in the dust.

The central trio of performances grow exceptional over time and are backed up by a network of strong support characters, expanding beyond the typical small group of the movies and  outlining a saga across time that is epic in scale. Yet at its core this is a deeply personal story about a mother and her son, John’s maturing into the man he has heard so much about from others and the enormous burden Sarah feels, but cannot set down.

It’s worth your time and money.

The episode is divided into two with a spoiler section clearly flagged, in which we discuss the endgame.

Listen to Tiger’s Eye! Search for New Century on iTunes today and get into some superb audio drama.
