I LOVE JUDGE DREDD
“Robo Sexuals- also known as pluggers, hoover bandits and socket jockeysT It’s been a long two months since the last 2000ad audio drama, and, although I didn’t have too much interest in this new disc, I have been looking forward to it none the less. After the last audio, Get Karter, hit home with its …
ZAGREUS
DOCTOR WHO: ZAGREUS “I AM ZAGREUS!” Over the years since their DOCTOR WHO audio drama series began, Big Finish have put out some real corkers, and the odd catastrophe. Titles like SPARE PARTS and THE CHIMES OF MIDNIGHT have become synonymous with classy, well written adventures. With ZAGREUS, release number fifty, the fortieth anniversary special, …
SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL
At last! At last!!! A summer blockbuster which genuinely busts some blocks. A summer blockbuster without a number at the end of its title, unencumbered by the crushing weight of the expectations engendered by its place in its franchise. A summer blockbuster inspired not by a comic book or a corny old television series?ut by …

WILLARD
Make no mistake, this classy, eerie remake of the forgotten early ’70’s horror chiller about a boy and his pet rats isn’t going to be one of the box-office blockbusters of the year. It really ought to be, but it just isn’t going to happen. It’s a dark, twisted film, almost art-house in its approach …
SUPERMAN SUPERMAN 2
In the words of Mr Samwise Gamgee ‘there’s an eye opener and no mistake.’ To think, I had never watched either of these movies properly, never paid Superman any respect until the tragic loss of Christopher Reeve when I decided to give these movies a try. My only real experience of the man of steel …

THE ROOF OF THE WORLD
Review By Liam O Brien Peter Davison hasn’t always benefited from the best scripts on Audio. Even the acclaimed SPARE PARTS is beaten hands down by pretty much every other Sixth or Seventh Doctor yarn, and its not the brilliant actors fault- indeed he is one of my favourite Doctors, but dry, uninspired scripts like …
GET KARTER
“What do you mean prepare to die? I just wanted a pen knife. . .” Another month, another Dredd, but this month’s audio prog is of a different breed to the previous releases. With Get Karter! Big Finish have made a foray into the darker side of the Dredd mythology, and come out with a …
WORMERY
ALIEN V PREDATOR
This really should be on of the worst movies ever made. Really it should. A bastard offspring of one generally highly-regarded SF movie franchise (the ALIEN saga) and one agreeable pulpy franchise (the PREDATOR flicks), ALIEN V PREDATOR has been on the cards for some time. The idea has its roots in a series of …
