Sol, Ash and Avalon are joined by Mr Nick to traul through a fishermans feast of news. In this episode We berate the BBFC, discuss the gestation of Ghostbusters 3, take a gander at Preacher and Constantine, show shock at actual Star Wars News, ruminate on the possibility of The Wicker Man coming to TV, discuss exploding snail genitalia and linger for a while in Nicks Science Corner.

Sol and Ash are back! Accompanied by their silent partner ‘Dr. Whiskey’ they are here to take you through a handful of news items from the last couple of weeks. With only two hosts it should be easier to stay on target, but the grain is strong and frequent detours are unavoidable as we take a look at the prospects of a Cool Runnings II, Godzilla hitting 60, Ghostbusters reaching 30, some actual confirmed Star Wars news, the existence of Ball Lightning, the lost Fantastic Four, and Transformers being dumbed down for the next generation. The rants are strong in this one...   Cool Runnings II http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jan/19/jamaica-bobsleigh-team-qualifies-winter-olympics Real Star Wars News! http://www.aintitcool.com/node/65817 Listen?

Nights at the Round Table returns for their first episode of 2014! In a desperate attempt to get back on schedule and mark this year as different we've decided to break the show up into Seasons. Ash and Sol are joined by Pete and Chris from The Pharos Project to pick there way through a few News Articles from the first week of 2014, as well as picking which films they're looking forward to in the coming year.

Ash, Sol and the late Nick Mr Nick are joined by those two sons of filth Mr Paul and Mr Chris of the Pharos Project for a newscast! We take a look at the Make a Wish Foundations plan to turn San Francisco into Gotham City, deftly avoid mentioning a disgraced media personality, examine the roster of The Legion of Super Pets, apologise for factual mistakes on previous episodes and pontificate on the state of the stars (both Wars and Trek)!

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! Sol, Ash and returning regular Avalon are joined by newcomer Libby to cast an auspicious eye across some of the pop and geek culture news of the past week from the comfort of the NATRT Geekcave. From Air Conditioning units as weapons, to the Del Toro/Pearlman bromance and even stopping off for a quick 3D Printed pizza, the NATRT Gang also take time to provide you with a PSA on a virus currently doing the rounds.

Sol and Ash record from the comfort of the NATRT Geekcave to discuss their first seasonal film, Stephen King's directorial debut 'Maximum Overdrive'. Can the master of horror produce a cinematic masterpiece worthy of his name, or does it all come out smelling of diesel fumes and failure? Is Emilio Estevez a well respected actor? What will prove more painful for Sol and Ash, watching the film or trying to talk about it in a coherent manner for the podcast? And when it comes down to it, who made who? Some of these questions may be answered in this tortured volume of Nights at the Round Table. *CONTAINS SPOILERS* The Attitude Era Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/AttitudeEraPodcastThe Attitude Era Podcast Fundraising page: http://www.justgiving.com/Attitude-Era-PodcastAdentures with the Wife in Space: http://wifeinspace.com/ BONUS MYSTERY LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI4Ye4EZo00 Nights at the Round Table can be found on the web (http://www.nightsattheroundtable.net) or via Twitter (@natrtpodcast), Facebook (facebook.com/nightsattheroundtable), e-mail (feedback@nightsattheroundtable.net) or leave a voicemail for us on our UK number: 020 3290 2666 Follow the hosts:Sol is @Solace_AderynAsh is @RavenEvermore
In this exciting episode of The Nights at the Round Table Podcast our intrepid Antipodean podcaster Australian Nick embarks on a night out that will see him pontificate with peers, dice with directors, argue with actors and come face to face with people who have been part of the Hitchhiker's legacy for the past 35 years. If this was not cause enough for surprise then surprise soon gets turned to absolute astonishment when Neil Gaiman turns up! This very special episode of Nights at the Round Table was made possible thanks to our fellow podcasters at The Pharos Project, various audience members, and the cast and crew who not only gave their time to be interviewed but also provided us with some exclusive audio clips that can be heard throughout the podcast.

Ash, Sol and Nick attempt to record an episode with the help of friend to all the animals, Beastmaster Pete. Things start promisingly with Nick and Pete reviewing 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Live!', but rapidly go downhill as Nick attempts to explain what the fourth dimension is without the aid of a LSD/Tequila cocktail. We move onto more serious matters as we discuss the worlds plutonium shortage, and end the night by discovering that the Netflix catalogue is closely intertwined with the Bittorrent trends of its potential customers. There may also have been some drunken singing. Beastmaster Pete was kindly on loan from The Pharos Project podcast, found at http://www.thepharosproject.com.

Up from the depths of 'Prehistoric History'* rise Ash, Sol, Paul and Chris who prepare to do battle with a legend of British cinematic history... Gorgo! This 1961 classic was at least 3 years in the making. Mainly because it ran out of money. It's got minimal character development, no named female characters, and an Irish orphan that really doesn't deserve to survive the film. Yet, for some reason, we're able to talk about it for over an hour. What is its mysterious allure? Is it connected to Xulud? And how many times can the same building be destroyed without the audience getting suspicious? These questions may (or may not) be answered... * as phrased by the official trailer for 'Gorgo' (1961) Gorgo can be bought on import Blu-ray here: http://dvdworldusa.com/shopexd.asp?id=99136 (It is definitely region free) Waiting for Gorgo can be seen here: http://www.cinemagine.com/waitingforgorgo/ Paul and Chris are from 'The Pharos Project' (http://www.thepharosproject.com), and are partial to the occasional Dorkin's.

Ash & Sol are reunited with Australian Nick, who has returned from his sabbatical and is ready to tackle a week's worth of news. Star Wars is shooting on 35mm, #Batfleck takes the internet by storm, and a "totally legit" dentist is trying to clone John Lennon. In addition to that NASA have some pieces of space exploration history they can't wait to get rid of, and movie promotion reaches a new level of tastelessness which leads to a competitive showdown between Sol and Nick...

Ash & Sol are joined by Mr Chris and Mr Paul from The Pharos Project to discuss the new kid in town for UK conventions: Nine Worlds.

Ash, Sol, Nick, Avs, DT and special guest Mr Chris of the Pharos project would like, if we may, to take you on a strange journey as we explore our relationship with the sights and sounds of The Rocky Horror (Picture) Show. How did we discover this cultural phenomenon? Who are our favourite characters? How did DT react to seeing it sober for the first time? All these questions may or may not be answered...

We're back, and we're peering into the darkness to take a look at the John Carpenter classic 'The Fog', along with the award winning 'Death Waltz Records', and the cult film event organizers 'Cigarette Burns Cinema', and the event that joined all three together. We also apologise for our recent tardy release schedule and Ash reveals how his adult vinyl obsession can be almost entirely blamed on the Fraggles.

Ash, Sol, Nick, Avs and newcomer D.T. get together to discuss Star Trek Into Darkness. Before diving head first into a sea of spoilers they also cast their eyes over the trailers they saw with the film including After Earth and World War Z.

Sol, Ash and Nick gather once more around the table to investigate some of the past two week's news items. We stumble across the SyFy reboot of Blakes 7, revisit Veronica Mars and Netflix funded TV shows, mourn the loss of LucasArts and enjoy our very own 'And Finally: Kitten in a Tree' news article moment.
