Skip and Drew celebrate 16 years of ‘knowing’ each other with show 22. And what a way to relaunch the podcast, by downing Absinthe and testing out GarageBand on Skip’s new MacBook Pro. This show is all about Iron Man which Skip and Drew review for your pleasure, after seeing it on the opening night, at that fine cinematic experience by the sea establishment, The Apollo Paignton.

Find out what we think about Robert Downey Jr as he dons the Iron Man suit, battling his company, alcohol and the shadowy terrorist group know as the Ten Rings. Drew remarks on Cate Blanchett’s remarkable performance as Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts and Art Malik’s role as ‘Yet another Arab Terrorist’ (YAAT).

This podcast was recorded under the influence of Absinthe and as such your hosts Skip and Drew cannot be held accountable for the inane banter that ensues.

Drew, with Skip finally recovering his sense of humour discuss the films they have seen since the last show was recorded in July 2007. Most of them you’ll have already seen, but that doesn’t stop your hosts from having a good old bitch!

We find out what the top movie weapon as voted for in a poll of 2,000 film buffs and we also discuss what was been predicted as the 50 biggest movies of 2008 according to the Times Online. Surprisingly just under half features sci-fi/cult genre films with the top five dominating the list.

We also end the show on a sombre note as we lose two big entertainment stars.

Recorded live in the Summer of 2007 before Skip lost his sense of humour along with his gall bladder.

Coming from the gay streets of Soho London (well the only gay street in the village, Old Compton Street) and County Hall, Skip and Drew venture to the big city to see the Holy Grail that is The La Georgina Experience aka the Star Wars Exhibition.

The guys at The Works are running a competition for new horror flick Hatchet, due for release this Friday 5th October 2007.

You can go to www.hatchetmovie.co.uk for details but in a nutshell people send in their cinema ticket from opening week to go in the draw to win 25 classic horror dvds.

Yes we’ve been off air for a while, but do keep an eye for new podcasts coming soon on the Gay Sci-Fi Nerds website.

Skip and Drew review the second TLA Releasing movie, Hellbent which is currently up for grabs in the GSFN competition. Was this a slasher movie worthy of Drew’s attention or did he hate it along with most of the other teen slasher flicks he so despises? In addition to giving away a copy of Hellbent, Lee at TLA Releasing UK is also offering a copy of Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds. For a chance to win Hellbent or Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds check the competition page.

GSFNews includes Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Doctor Who’s new companion, Heroes World Tour, Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, including David Hewlett’s (Stargate Atlantis’ Dr Rodme McKay) directorial debut with “A Dog’s Breakfast” and more.

Music is provided by Paper or Plastic with “Gay Bar”.
