Screams From The Syndicate
Geek SyndicateHalloween is just around the corner and the Countdown To Abertoir continues, so we've pulled together some of our writing team to chat about our favourite horror movies. Your host is Dion from the Scrolls podcast, joined by regular cohort Phil Ambler. Joining them are GS film reviewer Phil Hobden, GS tv reviewer Dee (aka Faint Dreams) and special guests Conor Boyle and Nia Edwards-Behi.
It's a massive genre with examples to suit all tastes, so we've tackled the subject from several different angles. You'll get our first movie memories, great examples of phsychology vs special effects, the most beloved rubbish, how humour works in horror, the best remakes and adaptations and, finally, our all-time personal favourites.There's a lot of laughter, a little friction and one or two shocks along the way, but we all had a great time recording it. So much so that we over-ran by a good couple of hours. Herding cats - that's all I'm saying... The cut you've got here keeps things relatively focused on the topic at hand. If you enjoy this you'll be please to know that most of the rest of the material will be appearing as a clip-show podcast called 'After The Slash' on theFilmsploitation feed, soon.Dion utterly weasled out of declaring his own favourite horror movie and best-bad movie during recording. It was worth it just to drive Mr Ambler nuts, but we wouldn't want to bug any listeners. Best film - Ring. Best-Bad film - Warlock. (Shhhhhhhh, he still doesn't know.)Keep Screaming.Time for the links:For those interested in these things, the music that tops and tails the show is written & performed by the fabulous Norwegian band, Katzenjammer. The song is called 'Hey Ho, On The Devil's Back' and it comes from their first album 'Le Pop.' Click here to watch an hour long concert for free on YouTube. Fancy snagging their albums? Both 'Le Pop' and 'A Kiss Before You Go' are available at Amazon, among other retailers.Fancy getting in touch with us?

TDP 274: Claws of Axos - Special Edition
Tin Dog PodcastPlot The Axons land on Earth, desperately in need of fuel. They propose to exchange the miracle substance they call Axonite for some much needed energy. Axonite is a "thinking" molecule that can replicate any substance... or so they claim. As it turns out, the ship is a single organism called Axos whose purpose is to feed itself by draining all energy through the Axonite (which is just a part of itself), including the energy of every life form on Earth. The deception about the Axonite's beneficial properties was to facilitate the distribution of Axonite across the globe. Meanwhile, the Master, who was captured by Axos and used his knowledge of Earth as a bargaining chip for his life and freedom, escapes Axos and makes his way to the Doctor's TARDIS — his own having been seized by Axos. He plans to repair it to escape from Earth. Axos itself becomes interested in the Doctor's knowledge of time travel. It now plans to broaden its feeding base by travelling through time as well as space. The Doctor, realising this, plans to trick Axos into linking up its drive unit to his TARDIS so that he can send Axos into a perpetual time loop. After tricking the Master into completing the repairs on his TARDIS, the Doctor does just that. This results in every part of Axos dematerialising from Earth, including the Axon automatons and the Axonite. At the end, with the Master having escaped in his own TARDIS during the confusion aboard Axos, the Doctor returns to Earth, but not of his own volition. The Time Lords have programmed the TARDIS to always return to Earth, the Doctor states that he is a "galactic yo-yo!". Continuity Both the Doctor and the Master refer to the events of this serial in "Last of the Time Lords". "The Feast of Axos", a Big Finish audio play with the Sixth Doctor, tells the subsequent story of astronauts visiting Axos, still imprisoned in the time loop. The Axons reappear in the Eleventh Doctor Doctor Who Magazine comic strip "The Golden Ones", beginning in issue #425. In this story they are behind a brain-enhancing drink and associated anime show in Tokyo. The drink transforms children into Axons by "increasing the links between neurons in the brain" - in other words, the axons.[1]
