Is it better than Space Jam? Life is precious. Enjoy every single second. You never know when...Good Luck. We hit a bit of a snag with our blockbuster marathon. We have to wait a week before the MCU releases their latest and while the dust has settled on the man of steel, we weren't sure what to talk about...until today! Ladies & gentlemen, Final Destination: Bloodlines. A soft reboot of sorts, it's time for the Final Destination franchise to rise from the dead and breath new life into New L...

Is it better than Space Jam? If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a remake? Is it a reboot? No, it's Superman . He's back on the big screen after a few years off and the slate has truly been wiped clean. With Mr James Gunn taking over this new universe, what better way to start than with the Man of Steel himself. A brand new cast, a brand new franchise and most importantly, a brand new colour palette (my gosh, is this film colourful), is this ne...

Is it better than Space Jam? Life, uh, finds a way...again...again... After a short break we're back and so, it would seem, is the summer blockbuster. And who better to kick us off than Amblin Pictures ? Yes, this one is a massive love letter to Jurassic Park and Jaws but it's also a bit of a soft reboot for a franchise as stale as fossilized bread. Yet again, there's another island with big ol' reptiles on so hey, what could possibly go wrong?! With Monsters and Rogue One director, Gareth Edwar...

Is it better than Space Jam? Live action remake are like buses; You wait around and suddenly two come around at once. Turning cartoons into less colourful, less energetic and all around dull movies has been a Hollywood trend for a while now but now Dreamworks has thrown their hat into the ring and it's taken flight. Clearly an advertisement for Epic Universe (not a plug but if free tickets get sent our way, result!) How To Train Your Dragon is the first Dreamworks banger to get the real world tr...

Is it better than Space Jam? Let us be glad, let us be grateful! Needless to say, last year Wicked was easily one of our favourite movies and luckily for us, the musical has been split into two parts. We’ve had our intermission drinks, eaten our ice cream and now finally, Act 2 is here…For Good! In this episode, we hint at what’s been teased, how we think the film will improve on the story, what could be added and ask the important question; Will Wicked: For Good Be Better Than Space Jam? Our fi...

Is it better than Space Jam? 💩 Not gonna lie to you folks, this was a difficult one to get through. From the heights of Spice World , we're fallen to a new low and this is probably the worst film we'll ever cover on the podcast; The Emoji Movie . Art is dead and we killed it, The Emoji Movie is clearly a film that came out way too late and is written by writers who have no idea how teenagers (or even phones for that matter) work, but our job here isn't to get you to watch it. Our job is only to...

Is it better than Space Jam? Another Disney remake? Gosh, we are lucky, aren't we? This time, that little blue alien that you find on duvet sets in Primark gets the live action treatment. Originally planned as a Disney+ original, the powers that be decided that the trailer caused enough of a reaction to get it on the big screen, so here we are. From dreadfully miscast aliens, to surfing in Hawaii and all the Elvis songs inbetween, join Jade & I as we chat about what we liked, disliked and ha...

Is it better than Space Jam? People of the world, Spice up your life! Well, we took a very long, very unexpected break after season 4 ended with The Minecraft Movie but, like the changing of the seasons...the seasons have changed. Welcome to The Biscuits & Blurays Podcast: A New Legacy Season 5!! And we've picked a banger for you all. We're your hosts, James and Jade and this is Spice World. The Spice Girls were all the rage back in the 90s and sometimes that meant you get a movie. Is it a p...

Is it better than Space Jam? As a child, I yearned for the mines. As an adult, not so much... Right then, let's get this one out of the way. As time goes on, humans seem to get better and better at adapting video games. From the early Super Mario and Street Fighters to The Last of U s, Fallout and Sonic , we have mastered the formula, but every now and then, something comes along to take us right back to square one. Welcome to this episode about A Minecraft Movie. A film where we let Jack Black ...

Is it better than Space Jam? I don't care what universe you're from, that's gotta hurt! Welcome back folks as, yet again, we struggle to decide how to end a season. Luckily for us, Jack Quaid has answered our prayers by dropping a new action comedy, in cinemas now, so why not talk about it? Jack Quaid plays Nathan Caine , an bank clerk who doesn't feel any pain due to a condition he has. That won't stop him on a quest for true love however as this fun little movie gives us some unique action and...

Is it better than Space Jam? We're not quite done with season 4 yet. A few weeks ago, we announced our lineup for season 5 of our podcast but we forgot to check when films are being released and Disney , in their infinite wisdom, decided to drop Snow White so here we are to talk about it. You'd be appy to know that this episode was recorded away from the press and the media and we only invited each other. We won't be talking about any of the stories that surround this new live action remake but ...

Is it better than Space Jam? DO THE ROAR! Welcome to our final episode of season 4 guys (unless we squeeze Snow White in). We made it and what a Shrek-tacular way to end it, and how happy are we that we don't have to say Shrek-tacular anymore. Shrek Forever After is yet another entry into the ever growing franchise and certain lessons have been learnt. Whilst we feel it's a vast improvement, is it anything compared to the might of Shrek 2? Join us as we chat about what we like, what we don't lik...

Is it better than Space Jam? Like the title suggests, this is indeed the third one. The difficult third album. Shrek the Third had very big shoes to fill following the masterpiece that was Shrek 2. Does it deliver? Not even close. It's interesting that the wheels have fallen off so suddenly with this franchise and there's a lot to unpack. Timberlake , Live & Let Die for no reason, weak villains and just a sense that the franchise is getting a little bit tired, but join us as we chat about th...

Is it better than Space Jam? Shrek-tacular Shrek-tacular!! Welcome to our episode about everyone's favourite Shrek movie, Shrek 2. Everyone is back for another adventure but, my gosh, what an adventure it is. With the animation getting smoother as each film goes by, more bangers are included in the soundtrack, more cats are wearing shoes and more orges are turning human, and everyone fancies him! Shrek 2 is believed by many to be the height of the franchise by many so join us as we chat about wh...

After being asked for ages to cover the Shrek movies, we finally caved so please join us as we have a Shrek-tacular time. We're starting off strong with the first one, a movie that has made an unbelievable cultural impact, much like this podcast hasn't, and changed the game forever.

Is it better than Space Jam? Freedom! Beauty! Space! Jam! Happy belated Valentine's Day to you all and although last week we were still in the midst of a Sonic marathon, we made up for it this week with Moulin Rouge , a jukebox musical to rival all other jukebox musicals. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor lead us on this beautifully tragic tale about love overcoming all obstacles with some absolute bangers thrown in. It's an energetic blast of passion, directed by Baz Luhrmann and, in this episode...

Is it better than Space Jam? My finger is on the button! Here we are folks, at the film that made us drop everything and review the Sonic franchise because we wanted to talk about this movie so much. Sonic 3 picks up where the second left off, however, a chaotic force is on the rise in the form of Shadow the Hedgehog , a darker version of Sonic , and it's up to our favourite blue friend to stop it. Now, we do we get a bit off track in the episode, asking the important question "What the hell was...

And to celebrate our 100th episode, we offer you the sequel to the episode we just did because we weren't aware we hit 100. Sonic is back, still fast as f**k, boy, and he's got some friends this time. Tails has joined in on the fun in an attempt to stop Dr Robotnik who has teamed up with Knuckles , one million percent muscle. It's what you got in the first one, just more of it basically. Join...

Is it better than Space Jam? Gotta go fast!! Now, I know what you're thinking. "Hey! This isn't the Homeward Bound episode you promised!" and you'd be right but why not dip our toes back into the world of Sega . Sonic the Hedgehog probably wasn't the easiest film to make, what with Sonic 's original design uniting fans across the world to reach out and express their distaste but the producers listened and we wouldn't be where we are now without it. Demoloshing Birds of Prey at the box office, we...

Is it better than Space Jam? Go West!! Life is peaceful there!! Let me tell you folks, I have been trying to get Jade to cover this on the podcast for ages and the day finally came! Fievel Goes West was a firm favourite for me growing up but now is the time to view it through adult eyes and ask; Is Fievel Goes West Better Than Space Jam? With plenty of Don Bluth bangers to choose from, this is what we picked, so why not join us as we chat about scorpions (again) , Fawlty Towers and all things We...

Is it better than Space Jam? Bangarang!! Continuing our early 90's Robin Williams movies with a film that didn't do particularly well upon it's release but made a big impact on those growing up with it (ask your millennial friends), Hook . Steven Speilberg gives pirates a bash and why not have everyone's favourite flying child Peter Pan grown up. With an all star cast, a big budget and one hell of a set, Jade and I chat about the flick and ask ourselves; Is Hook Better Than Space Jam? Get in tou...

We hope you had a wonderful celebration and to kick of 2025 's podcast episodes, let's dust of the board games, throw on our loin cloths and run like hell! Jumanji is the first episode this year as we felt that it was the perfect film to watch over this time of year.

From late night tv hauntings, to flying green witches and all the Madame Webs inbetween, its been a fun year so it can only mean one thing; The Golden Biscuit Awards 2024. Jade and I have compiled our winners and losers (even some of you have voted for your favourite) as we give out awards to the films that most deserve it. Obviously, it's just a...

That said, here we are at Deck the Halls. DeVito vs Broderick . What a grudge match this is. Actually, it's more of a slog really. How many lights is too many Christmas lights? DeVito goes insane and takes Broderick with him in this " delightful " Christmas corker so join us as we chat about it and ask; Is Deck the Halls Be...

Superman , previously nicknamed Legacy , has teased us with a look at what is ahead. With Brainiacs , Daily Planets and all the Jimmy Olsen's you could possibly want, we watched the Superman trailer and discussed a few things we liked, a few things we'd like to see more of and ask; Will Superman Be Better Than Space Jam? It's certainly shot up t...

Maybe the Christmas spirit hasn't quite hit us yet but here we are.

In December, we get festive. We did it last year so why not do it again this year. We're starting with Elf , a 2003 comedy about an Elf 's journey to discover his true family and purpose. Now, both of us have only seen this once before and we're not super fans. Sadly, our feelings towards the film haven't chang...

Consider your stockings full to overflowing. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic. Arguably, it is the first cult classic, and because we are the theatre kids we are, it's your latest episode of the podcast.

Is it better than Space Jam? Minor spoilers ahead in this one. We finally made it folks. A film that literally everyone we know is talking about has finally arrived. Wicked is here! Here at Biscuits & Blurays , we always think a filmed production is always better than a movie adaptation. Luckily, that isn't the case here. Split into two seperare movies, we find our seats, settle down, read the programme and let act one wash over us. There's a lot to like here, but it's not without it's quest...

Yes, we didn't fancy chatting about the original classic, we feel like everything about that movie has already been said so we've decided to see what Tom & Jerry can bring to the table. (Spoiler Alert; It's not much) We chat about what we liked, what we didn't like and what genuinely baffled us as we ask; Is Tom &...
