Going Rogue

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that any criticism of J.J. Abrams’ work must discuss the Mystery Box.
Check out Jon McCoy’s Episode IX Visual Sketchbook - it’s really fuckin cool! Also while you’re at it, Phil Saunders has also shared a heap of his work on the film with explanations of the process AND exact dates that really helped me piece together the timeline on this one.

We have a Patreon - if you like what we do, you can be part of it! There are bonus episodes too. I dunno how to promote stuff I don’t like ads either that’s why we don’t run any and instead rely on the generosity of our Patreon Subscribers!

Artemis Fowl is many things: a character, a book, a best-selling children's series, a long resident of development hell and a massive investment in a potential franchise. But as a film, it basically doesn’t exist.

If you want to support the show, we have a Patreon! You can subscribe for bonus episodes, plug-free versions of the show and the ongoing production of the show in general! Don't do it through the iOS app! Cannot stress that enough!

If you have any questions about this insane film please ask them! I will do my best to answer since I had to cut of lot of very minor details because they "sounded unhinged", "were visual nitpicks on an audio medium" and "made the episode longer than the movie".

You can follow the show on Bluesky or tumblr @goingroguepod, or for slightly less hinged content, follow @tansyg.bsky.social on Bluesky. If you want to get in touch, you can email [email protected] but please don't do that if you don't like the show just keep that to yourself!

2012’s Dredd is a nexus of pop culture rumours, mysteries and intrigue: but are we asking the right question when we ask who actually directed it?

If you wish this episode had been about the 1995 film, it wasn't because Jason Jenkins already wrote a much better breakdown of that breakdown than I ever could.
