Effectively Speaking

Effectively Speaking takes a long look at a single special effects sequence from a movie or TV show. Eric and his guests discuss the good, the bad and the ugly, explain how it was made, and give it a final rating. Since 2017 the show has covered everything from Star Wars and Doctor Who to folk horror and Space: 1999, in nearly 200 episodes.

Start here:
• Star Wars: A New Hope: the very first episode
• Doctor Who: City of Death: with guest Mark McGee
• Blood On Satan’s Claw: a folk horror benchmark
