It’s impossible to talk about SF without discussing Isaac Asimov. Rob and Clive tease out some of the themes and ideas in the Robot books, and we find out if CycloMedia knows or cares about the Three Laws Of Robotics.
We have the feeling this’ll go to a two-parter….
CycloMedia’s love for Chuck Wagner is coming out. He’s landed us with a forgotten classic in America 3000, a film with more hairspray than would be allowed in any movie after 1989.
Prepare for lumpen sexism and clunky, ill-thought out satire… and that’s just from Rob and Clive!
Why yes, you can enjoy the whole thing on YouTube. Please to enjoy.
A rare treat for the good citizens of Reading (or at least those, like TLC and I, lucky enough to get a ticket) as the Town Hall played host to the brilliant Stephen Fry. Continue reading Wilde About Reading with Stephen Fry
A film that Rob couldn’t finish, a film that Clive hated. Coming out of the Avengers debacle, looks like CycloMedia isn’t going easy on us.
Join the hapless crew of the Ulysses, why doncha, as we try to find something nice to say about 90s time-travel clunker A.P.E.X.
Hey, why should we suffer alone? Come join the “fun.”

Ok, it’s just not funny any more. Yet more Avengers. This time the… let’s say below par adaptation of the classic 60s movie, starring two miscast main leads and Sean Connery in a role that contributed to his decision to retire from the world of films.
Hoo boy. You can almost feel the air of underwhelmage in this one.
Here’s the trailer. Looks like fun, eh? Don’t be fooled!
What do we do when the world ends? Continue reading Mad World
No, we’re not done yet.
Rob and Clive explore the slick, surreal and sexy world of The Avengers: the John Steed version, that is. Rob gets hot under the collar about a certain leather outfit, and Clive forgets who’s wearing the kinky boots.
Bowlers and brollies at the ready, Listeners!
The A To Z Of SFF respectfully dedicate this episode to the memory of Brian Clemens, whose creative stamp was all over The Avengers and so much great British genre TV.
Ok, Cyclo Media is REALLY on an Avengers tip.
This week, Rob and Clive dip their toesies into the very deep water of Marvel’s Avengers comics. From Doctor Druid to The Secret Wars, we cover it all.
Brace yourself, listeners. It’s about to get cosmic.
CycloMedia is clearly on an Avengers tip.
Rob and Clive pick apart Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron, rant about the character that should be in there, and find out that it’s not smart to laugh at the idea of AI rights.
And a quick peek at what we’re on about here:
