155 - MORTAL KOMBAT!!! (shout it)

The worldwide event that brings together the heroes of Earthrealm and the villains of 'the other one' - it's the Filmageddon Podcast. This week, the crew discuss [MINOR SPOILERS - BUT NOT REALLY] the newest Mortal Kombat movie. Damn, is blockbuster cinema back? A silly statement? No one reads this far - so you'll have to find out. Featuring a whole host of characters (Electric Man, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya from Eastenders, Jax the Jaguar, K n' Oh, the two brothers). Should be a laugh. We've als...

154 - Godzilla vs. Kong (WE'RE BACK)

It's been a hot few months since Filmageddon sat down for an audio-only production, but the time is now: the Filmageddon Podcast returns. Do you need another film podcast in your life at this point? Yes. The time of airs and graces is gone, the crew are back discussing Godzilla vs. Kong (spoilers, obv) as well as the discourse around the film, the reaction online, what works and doesn't - and I swear to God there's like, a turtle thing that breaks the 4th wall in the movie. For real! For all our...

153 - The Chiodo Brothers

It's our absolute honour and privilege to welcome 2/3 Chiodo Brothers, Stephen and Edward, to the Filmageddon Podcast. We spoke to the creators of 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' (and their new festive feel-good offering 'Alien X-Mas' - now on Netflix!) all about their start in the industry, their history with some of cinema's most iconic characters, and their future plans for everything that still swirls around the genius minds of the Chiodo trio. We can't thank them enough for giving up their...

152 - Let's Get Freaky

Swapping bodies: disastrous - at least that's what cinema has taught us over the years. But what if a teenage girl and big chungus himself Vince Vaughn swapped bodies - except he's a serial killer!? Well - we have a slightly spoilery episode all about it - it's called FREAKY. And is it available on VOD in America? Yes. So let's get that out of the way before you ask. Join Frank, Adam, and Blair as they navigate his horror comedy, all with last night's booze still destroying their insides....

151 - The Last Witch Hunter / Watch Party Hangover

This week, we all gathered on a Twitch Watch Party to endure some of Vin Diesel's finest work, The Last Witch Hunter. It was quite an evening. Paddy Petrol. Noncing Priests. Vin Diesel with hair - for a bit. Can you tell what he's saying? Can anyone!? Join the Filmageddon team the morning-after as one clicks a magnet, another chomps a banana, and they all try to come to terms with the fact that The Last Witch Hunter some how made MONEY. Join us on Wednesday on our Twitch for our last QUIZ OF THE...

150 - Presidents in Movies

" I will not concede! " - the cries of a sad, bloated, racist narcissist jabroni hell-bent on lining his own pockets and the pockets of his backers before he is sent packing. Trump is on his way out, proving once again Filmageddon can out-live a presidency. Four more years? Perish the thought of still typing these episode descriptions out well in to my mid 30's upsets me. But there are a lot of iconic Presidents throughout cinematic history. Is Boss Nass a President? What makes a good President ...

149 - Luke Ibbetson (Cult)

Quizmaster Frank is dead...set on you having a good time! Absent this week, Film Friend and occasional Rocket League troll Adam Grundy steps in to hold the fort. This week, we're speaking with Writer/Director Luke Ibbetson on the release of his first feature film 'Cult', which is available for free on Amazon Prime! Luke talks us through what it was like to self-fund his debut feature, the creative process from page to screen, and what it was like to work and live in such intimate proximity to hi...

148 - Borat 2 (A Spoiler Episode Full of Bad Borat Impressions and Discussion of Rudy Giuliani's Pecker)

Jagshemash, his name is Borat, and 14 years after Sacha Baron Cohen first brought the deranged character to the big screen, Kazakhstan's number 4 reporter returns to...a smaller screen on Amazon Prime. The Filmageddon crew get into it with this SPOILER-laden episode. Very nice. My wife. You like?

146 - Rob Savage

This week, the Filmageddon crew embrace the spooky season. They are joined (virtually!) by Rob Savage , director of 2020's most talked about movie 'Host', as well as a plethora of illuminating shorts and more. We had the chance to ask Rob about what it's like working with such a close and creative team on films like ' Host' (out now on Shudder), how shorts like ' Dawn of the Deaf ' and ' Salt ' stand alone, and yet may also offer us a glimpse of things to come for him and his future projects. Ro...

145 - #Alive (#살아있다)

BLEEEEUUUGH!! That's the sound a zombie makes. It's international, much like the Filmageddon crew, who are back together discussing Netflix's new Korean zombie horror film #Alive. Look past the hashtag in the name and you'll find a little gem. The crew fully dive in discussing what works, the differences between Western and Asian approaches to the zombie/horror genre, as well as the odd back-story behind this and the upcoming film #Alone. Alive. Alone. Alone. Alive. Very confusing - but stick wi...

143 - Project Power

An odd one this week (we explain at the start), but we're looking at the Netflix powder keg of crap 'Project Power'. Jamie Foxx leads the charge, along with cameos from some of Hollywood's big hitters 'Machine-gun Kelly' and Casey Neistat from Youtube. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe you should stop drinking before work then. We're talking some truly WTF moments including: what the deal was with the 'powers'? Why the soundtrack? And of course, which Youtuber would you like to see fight to the ...

142 - I'm Thinking of Ending Things (With Spree)

HIGH ENERGY is pouring out of the veins of our three heroes this week. We're chatting Charlie Kaufman's newest mind-f*ck #ImThinkingOfEndingThings, as well as the controversial Joe Leery-led #Spree. Bit of a mixed bag, right? Well there's also chance to talk a nearly decade-old #Moneyball as well as hearing two idiots explain how they don't truly understand baseball to a man who clearly does, but has the patience to listen. And may you too have the patience to hear about a Charlie Kaufman film t...

Coming to you LIVE (recorded) from a hotel room in New York City and a tiny studio in Bangkok, the Filmageddon team talk all about #BillAndTedFaceTheMusic and of course, the always delayed but the "they actually released it?" movie #TheNewMutants, the newest and last edition to the 20th Century X-Men series. Boy, bye! Frank and Adam talk about what it's like to get back on a plane after so long, the weird hoops you have to jump through, as well as their shared hatred for the term 'British Holida...

Frank, now trapped in a hotel room, leads Adam (perpetually trapped in Bangkok) through the offerings from Warner Bros's '#DCFandome' event - including all brand new trailers and teases of #TheSuicideSquad #WonderWoman84 #TheBatman #BlackAdam #JusticeLeagueSnyderCut (okay, not so much focus on that). There's also a killer idea for a Mummy revival that will probably appear on other podcasts in like 3 weeks after they say it. Not saying it's a stroke of genius but Universal, if you're listening: w...

After a week of spookies, the Filmageddon crew gathered around the hot pot to watch Seth Rogan's new offering 'American Pickle'. Spoilers? Yes. Yes there are spoilers. And discussion about pickles. Frank describes what seltzer water is to two people who are dangerously stupid. There's also heated debate about movies where actors play multiple roles - good or bad? Then things take a turn when the crew describe which distant relative they'd least like to turn up 100 years later. Plus - which dista...

Real talk, no judgement. They're super proud of this episode, it's a fun one. Host is directed by Rob Savage and stars Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drando...

MONKEYS IN FILMS: not enough or too much? Don't answer, you know the truth. But which one would you...nevermind. This week we're talking about the 389 films Blair has seen while overseas, Frank's double trouble (including Yeon Sang-ho's #Psychokinesis (it's on Netflix, the #TraintoBusan director love train keeps on chugging through this podcast) and Adam's romp through #GunsmithCats and the 2020 Thai horror film The Maid (a Netflix jobbie again!) - PLUS: - How long has Clint Eastwood got left th...

What if I told you cinemas were open? What if I told you that cinemas were open, and hundreds of people didn't die in the forced opening of the economy? It's real! It's happening! Just not where you are. This week, the Filmageddon team talk Train To Busan: Peninsula, as well as Last Action Hero & Waiting. Some time to riff on how stupid people are who don't mask up? To talk about what it's like to visit in the cinema in 2020? Because one of us did that. Can you believe it? Spoiler, but it ha...

This week, the team talk Netflix's new filler The Old Guard, A24's 'First Cow', as well as some past hits such as The Peanut Butter Falcon and Lucky.

With a lack of cinema releases this week, the Filmageddon crew look inward, for a bit. Frank and Adam discuss two movies they saw this week, 1979's 'The Muppets Movie' and 2017's Thai documentary-drama 'Die Tomorrow'. Hey, it's one hell of a double bill. Happy to sad. All the emotions.
