A new writer, another new director, and a litany of inconsistencies resulted in what might well be the worst movie of the franchise so far. In saying that, it’s still a Harry Potter movie so by definition, it still bangs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Love and loss take centre-stage in Harry’s fourth adventure, with our favourite magical malcontent forced to navigate his way through teen angst, the loss of a classmate, a fire-breathing dragon and the pitfalls of trying to find a date to prom. Oh, and Voldemort shows up at the end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We chat all things Azkaban this week! A new director put his unique stamp on the Harry Potter universe in the third outing, resulting in a film that completely altered the course of the franchise and set up the movies to come. But was it a change for the better? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets successfully mixes satisfying familiarity with new characters, settings and themes, resulting in what many consider to be a perfect sequel. We explore how it achieved that balance that so many sequels fail to do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We go back to where the magic began to discuss one of the defining cinematic events in the lives of anyone between the ages of 20 and 40: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Is the movie actually good, or are we all just living in a nostalgia-fuelled fever dream? Listen to find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
For our 20th episode, we go back and recap all the movies we’ve ever covered to find out which one is the best! Which movie will win? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The third instalment in The Conjuring universe sees the Warrens investigate the case of Arne Johnson, a man who brutally murdered his landlord and claimed the Devil made him do it. Honestly, watching this movie made us wish that Arne killed us instead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A Quiet Place Part II kicks off seconds after the first one left off, but not before we get a taste of the chaos that was Day 1 of the apocalypse. This movie expands the universe and successfully switches the genre from suspense/thriller to suspense/action, which is something that not many sequels manage to pull off. To put it simply, Daddy Krasinski nails it once again! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place throws the audience smack bang in to the middle of an apocalypse in which bloodthirsty creatures roam the wilderness and hunt humans via sound. A near perfect film, A Quiet Place is edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding cinema that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the credits roll. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s our very first spin off! We catch a glimpse of what life was like for Puss before he met Shrek, when he was friends with the horrifying humanoid egg known as Humpty Alexander Dumpty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this, the final(?) chapter of the Shrek franchise, Shrek is faced with an alternate reality created by the nefarious Rumplestiltskin in which he was never born. By reading that description alone, you already know it’s a better movie than Shrek the Third! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Join us as we chat about Shrek the Third: a movie that tried its best to recreate the magic of the first two but failed miserably, managing only to create an insipid, lifeless offering that is best confined to the cutting room floor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s always a daunting task to make a sequel to a successful film, especially one as universally-loved as Shrek. We discuss (in a much more sober fashion) just how Shrek 2 fares when compared to its predecessor. Spoiler alert: it fares VERY well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We’re getting into the world of kids’ films this week, as we VERY drunkenly discuss the 2001 smash-hit Shrek and what made it so great. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We’re back with Shanghai Knights! Chong Wang and Roy O’Bannon are off to England to bring Lord Rathbone, renowned Game of Thrones villain and the man who murdered Chong’s father, to justice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We delve into the buddy cop/western/martial arts genres with the flawless Shanghai Noon - a period piece starring Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, and Lucy Liu. It’s such a good film that all we can really do is recap our favourite scenes... Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s our first reboot! Universal Studios tried to create a monster movie universe in the vein of the of the MCU, but it fell flat from the start thanks to this lacklustre outing. To be honest, the less said about this movie, the better. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Rick is back with a new-look Evy and an American(?) son in the third instalment in The Mummy franchise. We discuss the surprisingly passable CGI, the abhorrently inconsistent writing, and the movie’s total lack of awareness of clichés. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Rick and Evy return this week in the second instalment of the Mummy franchise! There’s more action, more mummies, and a whole lot more men getting sucked dry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We’re off to Egypt this week as we take a deep-dive into the 1999 cult classic The Mummy. Featuring flesh eating beetles, 3,000 year-old priests, and a smouldering Brendan Fraser, The Mummy ticks all the boxes of a late 90s action/comedy flick. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The spooks continue this week with The Conjuring 2 as the Warrens fly to London to take on the Enfield Poltergeist. We chat about London weather and Billy’s filthy biscuit habit, all while doing our best English accents. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Spooky dolls, creepy colonial children, and a witch that just won’t quit - this movie has it all! Join us as we take a look at The Conjuring, the movie that spawned the second-highest grossing horror franchise ever and reduced us to three scared little bois. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Like so many sequels, Spider-Man 3 was crushed under the immense pressure of its predecessor. Too many characters, and by extension, too many parallel storylines, resulted in a cinematic mess that didn’t do justice to the two movies that came before. We chat about what went wrong and why, and openly mourn the movie we deserved but never got: Spider-Man 4. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The red and blue spandex is back in full force as Spidey gears up to fight the madman with the metal arms, Doctor Octopus! Widely considered to be one of the greatest sequels of all time, the critical and commercial success that was Spider-Man 2 took the character to lofty new heights. Join us as we discuss the reasons behind the superhero sequel’s popularity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We start with a nostalgic bang as we discuss one of our favourite childhood films: Spider-Man. The web-slinger’s inaugural cinematic outing was a genre-defining movie in many ways, but does it hold up nearly 20 years later? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
