    It’s episode 286…and I will make the land desolate so that your enemies who settle it shall be appalled by it.

    Mad God (2021) is the singular vision of Phil Tippett, the stop motion genius behind Star Wars’ AT-ATs and RoboCop’s ED-209. Over the course of 30 years he slowly created what some believe to be his opus–Mad God–a nightmarish film with very little clear story, but an awful lot of grotesque imagery.

    We talk about a film that is both an impressive technical exercise and a hollow procession of misery, the nauseating levels of skill required to produce it, whether we’d be sad if Gromit died and whether the individual behind dozens of screens showing a babbling baby’s face should give more thought to workplace safety.

    All of which leads to one question: How would you survive?

    Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Your land shall become a desolation and your cities a ruin.

    Next month, we’re watching a couple of ‘Space Madness’ films - Solaris (1972) and Aniara (2018).
