Digital Gonzo 106: Firefly [Part 2]
This is the second of three shows discussing Firefly and Serenity. This episode we look at the troubled production run and the myriad decisions made that hamstrung this potentially glorious series and ensured nobody saw it, that those that did were somewhat confused and that only a few would even notice its cancellation. Those few have grown in number in the years since with more Browncoats riding in every passing month, discovering...

Digital Gonzo 105: Firefly [Part 1]
After many months of teasing Gonzo finally covers one of the most beloved Sci Fi shows of all time. If you’re one of the people that saw this when it was originally aired then please let the other six know because they will probably adore this episode. Cut off some way before its prime, this exists as a cautionary tale never to trust a Fox but also as a wistful glimpse of what might have been one of the (empirically speaking)...
Digital Gonzo 80: Prometheus
Special Extended Edition: This version of the podcast now includes my final analysis at the end (around the 1.44 mark), answering many of the questions raised by the film by examining the original script by John Spaihts. This is viewable below with a rather neat visual element. 33 years after the original film, the director that started off the series returns to the same universe to start a new one. Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS is...
Digital Gonzo 83: Alien vs. Predator
This is the sixth of seven reviews of the ALIEN anthology and also the fourth of five reviews of the PREDATOR movies. Director of two of the Resident Evil movies and producer of the rest, Paul WS Anderson helmed the first PG-13 foray for these licenses, combining them into one family-friendly Jurassic Park-style romp. If you’ve not seen it the plot could be adequately described on the back of a matchbox or indeed with crude,...
Digital Gonzo 81: Alien 3
This is the fourth of seven reviews of the ALIEN anthology. David Fincher’s directorial debut has been maligned by most and loved by few. It’s a flawed, filthy, foreboding and occasionally really effective story. The end result of thirty script rewrites and years of troubled development. We get our teeth into how studio meddling by Fox left this project multibuggered to the point where it almost ended up an Alan Smithee...
Digital Gonzo 47: Predator
This is the first of a two part series focusing on the dedicated Predator movies. We’ve held back on the Alien vs. Predator series for now, to achieve some semblance of narrative consistency but we will cover them later as a postscript to the Alien saga. This first episode is all about the 1987 original (and some would say best). What seems at first an exercise in machismo actually becomes a fascinating study in hunter and...
Digital Gonzo 35: Blue Sun – Audio Drama
What you have here is the first few chapters of a book I’ve been writing and re-writing since 2001. It’s a sci-fi fantasy novel codenamed here as Blue Sun. Currently I’m rewriting the entire story in a completely different setting with a view to publishing this first as a digital novel and secondly as an audio drama similar in tone to this. To differentiate the two versions, the current book code name is New Century. If I get it...
Digital Gonzo 22: Back to the Future Part III
The third and final Back to the Future review podcast rounds off the trilogy. This Western take on time travel is, at its core, a tender love story concerning a reclusive scientist meeting the first woman who takes a genuine interest in both him and what he does. There’s also a flying train. James Batchelor and Neil Taylor of GameBurst join me once more to sing the praises of this, the sweetest and possibly most epic of these...
Digital Gonzo 20: Back to the Future Part II
The second portion of the Back to the Future review podcasts, this time tackling Part II. Neil Taylor and James Batchelor of GameBurst join me once again. After last week’s brain-melting discussion on theoretical time travel we take more of a look at the movie’s production, the hurdles that Bob’s Zemekis and Gale had to leap to get this sequel made, the nightmarish tangent universe and the fascinating occurance,...
Digital Gonzo 19: Back to the Future
After the resounding success of the Star Wars review podcasts I decided to carry on talking about my favourite movies for the foreseeable future. This week we kick off a new trilogy maybe more dear to my heart than even Star Wars: Back to the Future. Neil Taylor of GameBurst returns once again and we’re also joined by Giles Thomas of the DC Community. The focus for this first one is actually the brain-bending complexity of the...
