It's the final episode of The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, and our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas have been hit with the dreaded writer's block. Tasked with coming up a worthy denouement to the show after nearly six years of antics, Jon and Fil find themselves truly stuck. How can you possibly do a big blow-off meta episode about the fifth and final instalment in the Die Hard franchise, 2013's A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD ? Will the boys defeat the burnout in ti...

In this penultimate episode of The Pod Charles Cinecast, your hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas are back with a Brucie Bonus, as we see the return of BRUCE WILLS US – the bonus series where we occasionally dip into the films of Bruce Willis. With Christmas nearly here, we'd figure we'd dip into one of Bruno's most magical movies, that would be a sure-fire holiday classic had it been set in December, DISNEY'S THE KID (2000) . Bruce Willis plays a self-absorbed 40-year-old image consultant who...

The heat is on. We are too close to the truth. Maybe it's the UFO Universe Magazines we've been reading, but we are pretty sure we are being followed. The truth is out there, and someone doesn't want us to find it. Be careful with who may be following you. And for the love of god, if an alien gives you a gift, make sure it's an ashtray. That's the only way you'll be believed... Follow the BREADCRUMBS...

Do you ever find yourself getting very anxious? You are sitting at your desk and realise you aren't breathing properly? Is it because you said something stupid at work, on a date, or in front of someone you are trying to impress? Does this cause you to spiral out of control thinking the most irrational thoughts about yourself and that everyone hates you? No? Well, it must be nice being so well-adjusted...

There was more to Billy Bob Thornton's phobias than we could even imagine. The man is a freak, who believes that mythical dragons existed, and are still roaming the world in the form of the Komodo dragon. When he's not looking over his shoulders, fearing that today just might be the day that a Komodo dragon attacks, he is probably going to be found watching his favourite TV show, My Little Pony. The man is a confirmed Brony. But let's just hope that's not all he's doing in his spare time... Foll...
