Rob And Clive take a look at a neat little SF short that elegantly describes one way life on earth may have come about. Science in our science-fiction? Well, maybe just a tiny bit. We can’t be too educational, can we?
Check out the full film. All 4 minutes of it!
60s espionage-adventure doesn’t get any more sparky, charming and downright fun than Adam Adamant Lives!
Join Rob and Clive as they don their cloaks, grab their sword-sticks and launch themselves into the fray in exploration of this great little dose of escapism from the golden age of Brit-TV.
Clive mentioned the peppy, parpy theme tune, which for some reason is excised from most CosmicYouTube uploads of the show. Here it is in all its glory…
and here’s the first episode.

CycloMedia points Rob and Clive at a story about a supercomputer with a mysterious agenda. How very appropriate.
A For Andromeda is a classic piece of British TVSF that would be well worth your attention. If only there was a way to see it…
A stone classic from Rob, Clive and CycloMedia. With two different versions to choose from, what will our hapless crew make of the proto-feminist classic, Attack Of The 50 Ft Woman?
Those of you with a giantess fetish, front and centre, please…
A look at the directorial debut of Joe Cornish (sort of Ant-Man co-writer): the alien-siege hoodie-centric action-comedy Attack The Block.
This is one on which Rob and Clive have to disagree. But can they come to a conclusion that will satisfy CycloMedia?
There’s been a great deal of ant-icipation over the last part of Marvel’s Phase Two output. But never mind, now we can all enjoy the ant-ics of Paul Rudd and company.
What do Rob and Clive, marooned ten billion light years from home and 600 years in the future make of it all? Does the movie match the hype, or is it all just a bit of an ant-iclimax?
Cyclomedia provides Rob and Clive with some 50’s Z-grade movie hokum. Join the crew of the Ulysses as they explore… the Angry Red Planet!
Warning: this episode contains rat-bat-spider-monsters.
Yes, it’s available to view on Dailymotion. Give it a look!

More short story action from Rob, Clive and that thrice-damn’d CycloMedia. This episode, they look at Samuel R. Delaney’s “Aye, And Gomorrah…”, a bracing antidote to the macho American view of what space explorers should be like.
Are we not men? Interesting question…
Dangerous Visions, the anthology in which “Aye, and Gomorrah…” appears, is back in print for the first time in decades. It’s one of the most important collections in SF, and and any selfrespecting fan-being should own a copy.
This time, Rob and Clive look at a classic bit of SF from one of the masters, Robert A. Heinlein. If you’re expecting macho space battles and right-wing posturing, think again. ‘–All You Zombies–’ is a time travel tale with one hell of a familial twist…
How complicated is it? Well, why don’t we let Ray Stevens try to explain…
As anticipated, Cyclomedia wouldn’t let it lie. We’re back with more on the legendary Isaac Asimov, including a spin round the epic Foundation Saga, and a general muse about what it is that has made the author just such an enduring favourite.
I mean, even here in the 27th Century the guy’s a big deal.
