Serenity

Send us Fan MailEpisode 52 is here, and to celebrate a year of podcasting (and Rob's birthday), we have gone for a more contemporary movie this week in the form of 2005's sci-fi masterpiece, Serenity. For a movie that needs to work as both a sequel to a short-lived but much loved TV show and a motion picture in its own right, it truly is amazing what Joss Whedon managed to achieve here. Sure, word has it that Mr Whedon is actually something of a tool, but I implore you to separate the man from the art as Serenity really is one of the finest sci-fi movies of the last 20 years and proof that a great script and fantastic cast are much more important than a big budget.
