Star Wars Episode 1

To kick off Caravan Of Garbage in 2026 we've decided to celebrate the release of Star Wars' 49th anniversary. We're talking the original movie as it was first shown in May of 1977 with none of the Special Edition tweaks or even the addition of the title A New Hope which was added four years later. We're looking at the miracle of the movie that started it all, George Lucas' vision brought to life with the music of John Williams, special effects by ILM and the relatively unknown trio of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. Thanks for watching our Review

The Empire Strikes Back Episode 2

It's time to talk what many still consider the pinacle of Star Wars media, The Empire Strikes Back. Released three years after the first movie in 1980 it also came at a time when sequels were almost always inferior to the original. With the original trio of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia returning and George Lucas not directing but putting it all on the line to make this happen Empire was a massive success with it's darker nature and twist ending. And that green puppet man. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Return of The Jedi Episode 3

The anticipation for what was to be the final Star Wars film, Revenge/Return of the Jedi was at an absolute boiling point in 1983. What was to become of Han Solo? Would Luke Skywalker defeat Darth Vader and turn from the dark side? Will Princess Leia kill a giant peverted slug in a gold bikini? These questions and more were wrapped up at the end of the original trilogy which brings the Emperor of the Galaxy to the forefront of story now with a second and even bigger Death Star. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review on George Lucas' original trilogy and what some people consider to be the last true Star Wars experience

Sherlock Holmes Episode 4

Like Batman, Sherlock adaptations are always and forever. And now that a new Young Sherlock series has debut in 2026 it's time to take a look back at the Guy Richie series beginning in 2009. Starring Robert Downey Jr hot off his return to hollywood as Iron Man in 08' and Jude Law this strips things back to basics whilst modernizing other elements (mostly the punching and hats). Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Episode 5

Sherlock Holmes is back and this time it's A Game of Shadows! In this highly anticipated 2011 sequel we seen Robert Downey Jr's and Jude Law return as both Holmes and Watson to take on the criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty who has a dastardly plan to do a big World War I but early. There's drinking, dancing, explosions, mind chess, mind fights, falling off things and more!

The Last Starfighter Episode 6

Stop what you're doing everyone. It's time to continue our look at videos about video games that aren't actually based on video games. And you might be wondering what the movie Serenity for 2019 has to do with video games? It seems like some kind of beach side noir murder mystery starring a cigarette smoking Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. And yes that is true but there's also a deeper layer of story to this movie that has to be seen to be believed. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

S2026 · E7 · Mar 19, 2026

Gamer Episode 7

It's time for another look at a movie about and featuring video games but not actually based on a video game. This time it's 2009's Gamer starring Gerard Butler, Logan Lerman, Michael C Hall and directed by Crank duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Set in the far distant future of 2034 in a world where the game Slayers (an online third person shooter) uses real life death-row prisoners in a real life murder arena controlled by players safely at home. In many ways it's ahead of it's time and in many other ways it has aged horrible. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Stop what you're doing everyone. It's time to continue our look at videos about video games that aren't actually based on video games. And you might be wondering what the movie Serenity for 2019 has to do with video games?

Ready Player One Episode 9

In our final entry in our "movies about video games that aren't based on video games" we take a look at the be all and end all entry defined by those very specific parametres, 2018's Ready Player One. In a future bogged down in nostelgia to the detriment of a crumbling society it's up to a group of plucky internet savy individuals to unlock the mystery of the Oasis, a Virtual Reality space where your wildest dreams can come true. If your wildiest dreams are like, walking around and Batman is there or the Delorian or whatever. Probably the most unusual choice for Steven Spielberg to direct but hey, he certainly threw a lot of stuff in it. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E10 · Apr 9, 2026

War of The Worlds Episode 10

ALIENS ARE REAL. I mean, statistically the chances of there being life in an ever expanding universe is pretty much a lock. And to celebrate that and the return of Steven Spielberg to making an alien movie with Disclosure Day in 2026 we're going to take a look at three adaptations of the War of the Worlds, starting with the 1953 classic. An absolute astounding achievement in model work, design, alien monster suits, explosions and guys being stoic then running around for a bit. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E11 · Apr 16, 2026

War of the Worlds (2005) Episode 11

Aliens continue to be real on our journey through three very distinct War of the Worlds adaptations. This week it's the second collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise after Minority Report, War of the Worlds 2005. Interesting premise and time, post 9/11, Tom Cruise in his weirdest (publicially) era and a director who'd made two exceptional extra terrestrial propeties prior to this. This should be fantastic! And yet...Anyhow thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E12 · Apr 23, 2026

War of the Worlds (2025) Episode 12

All good things must come to an end, like for example our War of the Worlds retrospective. But at lease we're going out on the lowest of the lows, the 2025 but filmed in 2020 Ice Cube "screenlife" adaptation. Considered by many to be one of the worst movies ever made with such a bizarre and terrible execution it's kind of hard to stay focused on one thing at a time when talking about it. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

S2026 · E13 · Apr 30, 2026

X-Men Episode 13

Cast your mind back to the year 2000. Okay great. And now think about the movie X-Men which introduced the world to the modern superhero movie with the likes of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Patrick Stewarts a bald guy, Ian McKellen as Magnet and Halle Berry as a much underused Storm. And with the likes of James Marsden coming back as Cyclops for Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 this decades old Marvel franchise has never been more relevant. And then there's the Bryan Singer of it all. YUCK. Anyways thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E14 · May 8, 2026

X2: X-Men United Episode 14

By 2003 superhero movies were well back in vogue. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man from 2002 had become a massive hit, a serious Batman reboot was in the works and of course we got the return of Bryan Singer's (yuck) X-Men franchise with X2: X-Men United. All your favourites are back! Storm, Cyclops, Ice Boy, Rogue, Magnet, Wheels, Gene Grey, all in support of whatever Hugh Jackman's Wolverine wants to do.

S2026 · E15 · May 10, 2026

X-Men: The Last Stand REDUX Episode 15

The only logical solution to wrap up our look at the original X-Men trilogy is a updated re-release of our Caravan Of Garbage review from 2019. Sure Bryan Singer is now gone (for now) but luckily Brett "The Rat" Ratner has stepped in to take his place to conclude the stories of Wolverine, Gene Grey, Professor X, Magnet, Storm, Cyclops and many more characters that would continue to never die and re-appear in future prequels and sequels.

S2026 · E16 · May 14, 2026

Total Recall Episode 16

Over the next four weeks we're taking a trip through some classic 1990's science fiction films. An interesting era which still encorporated old school film making techniques like model work, stop motion and rear projection plus early computer generated imagery. This week it's the action classic Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone from director Paul Verhoeven not to be confused with the 2012 reboot or the book its based on that has a completely different name and premise.

S2026 · E17 · May 21, 2026

Demolition Man Episode 17

Stallone, always on the hunt for the next action blockbuster, took a shot at sci-fi in 1993 with the release of Demolition Man. Set in the future of 1996 and then the future of 2032 it pits him against Wesley Snipes' Simon Phoenix having the absolute time of his life. And that's the whole movie real, just an absolute blast from the get go with somewhat accurate depictions of the future mixed in with absolute insanity like the three sea shells situation. Thanks for coming along with us on our 1990s sci-fi retrospective and watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E18 · May 28, 2026

Starship Troopers! Episode 18

It's absolutely bizarre that the first live action adaptation of Starship Troopers from director Paul Verhoeven bombed as badly as it did. Not only that but critics also seemed to have completely missed the not very subtle social commetary in relation to the rise of facism in western society. Now, for the most part I hope, people seem to know better and this movie is recognised for both its satirical nature and incredible action sequences. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Smallville's Supergirl Episode 20

Its time to return to Earth-167! Which you would obviously know as the universe of Smallville, the smash hit ten season long Superman original series that managed to introduce EVERY. SINGLE. DC. CHARACTER. before Clark Kent decides to put on the suit. This time we're going to be covering the storyline of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl as played by Laura Vandervoort introduced in Season 7. And we've discovered so much more about this show including how many character get clones or are clones (it's a lot which is exciting).

S2026 · E21 · Jun 19, 2026

The Supergirl TV Show Episode 21

S2026 · E22 · Jun 25, 2026

The Flash! Episode 22

For our final look at Supergirl, we're returning to the DCEU. And also Earth 89, Earth 789, Earth 30, Earth 66, Earth 203, Earth 789, and a reboot. That's right, we're taking a look at The Flash (2023), which aimed to be both a love letter to and the end of the Zack Snyder DC Universe, while also serving as an introduction to James Gunn's DCU. All your favourites are back: Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and Adam West as Batman, along with Wonder Woman, Aquaman, a pretty solid interpretation of Supergirl from Sasha Calle, and Ezra Miller's The Flash, I guess, if you're into that kind of thing. And it's awful.

S2026 · E23 · Jul 9, 2026

TROY Episode 23

We continue our epic and cinamatic journey towards Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey by taking a look at a second inspiration behind his adaptation. This time it's Troy from 2004 from director Wolfgang Peterson. Loosely based on Homer's Iliad and the story of the Trojan War it pits (pun intended) Brad Pitt's Achilles against Eric Bana's Hector, Orlando Blooms Paris against Brendan Gleeson's Menelaus, a city of stupid people against a horse and a whole lot more. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E24 · Jul 16, 2026

Gods of Egypt Episode 24

The time of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is upon us. And to cap off our look at three inspirations of his 2026 epic we're going back ten years to 2016's Gods of Egypt. Directed by Alex Proyas the mind behind both The Crow and Dark City adapts, in the loosest of terms, ancient Egyptian mythology with some of the whitest people in entertainment.

S2026 · E25 · Jul 23, 2026

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Episode 25

Despite being released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit remains the pinnacle of blending 2D animation with live action photography. Set in Hollywood after World War II, it follows Detective Eddie Valiant as he unravels the murder mystery involving famed toon Roger Rabbit, his wife Jessica Rabbit, and the terrifying villain Judge Doom. It's also famous for bringing together, for the first time, Disney and Warner Bros. characters like Donald and Daffy Duck, plus Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. Next week we'll look at a not as good live action/animation hybrid, and the week after that one of the worst to do it in the lead up to Coyote VS ACME. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E26 · Jul 30, 2026

Looney Tunes: Back In Action Episode 26

Looney Tunes: Back In Action has been much requested since we covered the original Space Jam in 2021. And in the lead up to Coyote vs. Acme in 2026 and in the spirit of blending live action with 2D animation here we are. And oh my goodness this he Brendan Fraser we love him! It also has Bugs Bunny and we love him also! And it's got spies which we also love and Batman which we love and running around which I guess we love and aliens which alright and a monkey crystal that turns people in to monkeys which wait maybe this movie isn't good? Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E27 · Aug 6, 2026

Space Jam 2: A New Legacy Episode 27

It's a very upsetting time for us all having to revisited Space Jam 2. I mean sure it stars four times champion NBA superstar LeBron James plus the Looney Tunes plus every IP Warner Brothers has ever had their sweaty hands on (Game of Thrones, The Matrix, Gremlins, Harry Potter, Clockwork Orange, IT, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, The Joker, Rick & Morty, Mad Max etc). The result is a more Ready Player One than Roger Rabbit which some people might like but I don't like that. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E28 · Aug 13, 2026

Resident Evil Episode 28

On the eve of a brand new Resident Evil movie from director Zack Cregger we aim to achieve something heroes only dream of, taking a look at all six movies from the original series. Beginning with Resident Evil from 2002 it introduces us to a world seperate from that of the video games lead by Alice (Milla Jovovich) and directed by Paul WS Anderson whom would return for later entries in the franchise. And boy is it a sight! Laser hallways, kicking zombie dogs in the head, red AI girls I guess. Alright. Let's get started. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E29 · Aug 20, 2026

Resident Evil: Apocalypse Episode 29

We are off and running with our look at the six Resident Evil movies! Well the six starring Milla Jovovich as Alice and either produced or directed by Paul WS Anderson. Second up is Resident Evil: Apocalypse the entry that is most closely tied and based on a specific video game from the series. Jill Valentine joins the team and we get the introduction of Nemesis, a big gross mutant guy with a secret past I'm not sure the movie even tries to keep secret. And there's a lot of running and jumping and shooting etc. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E30 · Aug 27, 2026

Resident Evil: Extinction Episode 30

The end of this third entry in the franchise officially marks the halfway point of our look at the six Milla Jovovich/Paul WS Anderson Resident Evil movies. And it might just be the highpoint of the series. Undead crows, dried out beef jerky desert zombies, a Mad Max setting plus the inclusion of both Claire Redfield and Albert Wesker, essential video game characters! These movies are good and will almost certainly without question remain good from here on out. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E31 · Sep 3, 2026

Resident Evil: Afterlife Episode 31

Oh no it looks as if the Resident Evil movies might be on the decline after the incredible (by Resident Evil movie standards) third entry. Paul WS Anderson finally returns as director for Afterlife, a movie that takes some elements from the previous movies (Alice clones, the character of Kmart, not being able to remember your memories) and hits the ground running in what many are describing as a movie they might have seen around the time it came out but it's actually impossible to say. It does have the first appearance of Chris Redfield as played by Wentworth Miller. But don't get attached. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E32 · Sep 10, 2026

Resident Evil: Retribution Episode 32

We've been looking at the Paul WS Anderson/Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies for what feels like one hundred million years. And it's a crying shame that all of us are coming to realise that these movies might not actually be good. In addition to Alice coming back as always we also get the return of Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon and Oded Fehr characters confirmed long dead. PLUS the introduction of more beloved game characters Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong! All this feels like it should add up to something but we're sorry to report that is not the case. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E33 · Sep 17, 2026

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Episode 33

Our long and winding tour down the Resident Evil road is coming to an end with The Final Chapter. Time to say goodbye to Milla Jovovich's Alice and the one or two other characters that they bothered to bring back in this sixth entry. The stakes have never been higher! The clock is ticking on the 27 people left on planet earth to release an anti-virus which would stop all the Resident Evil in its tracks. And there's secrets to be revealled! Secrets that don't make any sense especially if you've been paying attention to any of these movies which we have sort of. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Blade Runner Episode 34

It's impossible to list all the visual design elements, tropes and world building influence that Blade Runner had on popular culture upon its initial release in 1982. Despite bombing in a most spectacular fashion, Ridley Scott managed to literally redefine the future of sci fi despite the atrocious Harrison Ford/Rick Deckard voice over. Here we look at the definitive version from 2007 that restores original scenes, removes others, including said voice over, and changes the ending in a manner that completely alters the meaning of the entire film. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review and be sure to return next week for the follow up! It's not Blade Runner 2049.

S2026 · E35 · Oct 1, 2026

Soldier Episode 35

In between Blade Runner, original Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 there exists a movie positioned snugly in the middle, set in Ridley Scott's groundbreaking universe. 1998's Soldier, starring Kurt Russell and directed by Paul WS Anderson, was written by Blade Runner scribe David Webb Peoples and incorporates many elements from the 1982 original directed by Ridley Scott. It's mostly small visual cues and blink and you miss it easter eggs, but this is unmistakably supposed to take place after the origins events from 2019. None of it makes the movie better. Doesn't make it worse, though. But it's still all not very good. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

S2026 · E36 · Oct 8, 2026

Blade Runner 2049 Episode 36

There are very few legacy sequels that match or potentially surpass the original, often they end up being tired retreads of what came before. Blade Runner 2049 is one of those few exceptions, coming 35 years later and helmed by Denis Villeneuve it reintroduces us to the ruined future with updated elements like more compliant Replicants, AI girlfriends, horrendous poverty and Harrison Ford in a t-shirt. It also has Ryan Gosling as K doing his own version of Blade Running around with hologram Ana De Armas. Incredible movie. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

S2026 · E37 · Oct 15, 2026

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Episode 37

1994 gave us two video game to movie adaptations of Street Fighter, Street Fighter starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, which, although fondly remembered now, was much maligned at the time for being cheesy and inaccurate, and the anime adaptation Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie. The second of which adheres much closer to the video games and managed to turn a tidy profit despite a limited release. It's famous for brutal fight scenes, a wide character roster and a completely out of nowhere Chun-Li nude shower sequence. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

S2026 · E38 · Oct 22, 2026

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li Episode 38

You can blame the MCU for giving the good people over at Street Fighter HQ the idea that they could make a series of prequels leading up to an actual Street Fighter movie. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li from 2009 tells the origin of Chun-Li, as played by Kristin Kreuk, as she takes on the villainous Shadaloo, headed up by the always Irish M. Bison. Hilarious and baffling movie all round, with an incredible performance by Chris Klein and the inclusion of some of your favourite characters, like Balrog and Vega, handled completely wrong. There's a lot to unpack with this one, and I'm not even sure we covered it all. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

S2026 · E39 · Oct 29, 2026

The Maze Runner Episode 39

S2026 · E40 · Nov 5, 2026

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Episode 40

After a brisk one-year wait, The Maze Runner returned with its second entry, The Scorch Trials. And it's shocking to some, but not others, the huge drop in quality in terms of narrative. The boys from the maze are dumped into a wider world of baffling conspiracies and various encampments as they hunt for... a cure for the newly revealed zombie virus, or safety, or maybe the answers to another mystery I've already forgotten. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!
