Joined once again by his big brother Robin, Trev invites you to reflect on the past years movies in this review of the films of 2021... Part 1! After the diabolical state of the cinema in 2020 - when Covid put a stop to everything, 2021 was a welcome return to some sort of cinematic normality. With massive films such as the New Bond (' No Time To Die ',) and revisiting famous( Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Matrix Resurrections ) people slowly crept back into the cinemas, as well as streaming films a...

Well, its been nearly a year since Nath and myself began this podcast, and nearly 40 episodes have aired. Usually, we chat for one and a half to two hours, and we try our best to whittle the chat down to about an hour. Sometimes this is easier than others, when we make so many mistakes, or when we go off on a tangent that slows the episode or does somewhat off topic, or when we are perhaps a little too off the wall, massive chunks of the episode can easily be plucked out! Very often these delete...

Before Lord Of The Rings , which in my mind is the ultimate trilogy, Kiwi director Peter Jackson had made some pretty raw and grotesque low budget movies, showcasing the ingenuity of his film making talent, and creating some of the most extreme yet effective gore effects to splatter the celluloid! Three films that started a colossal and diverse career, yet three films that I Own But Haven't Watched Yet ! His debut Bad Taste (1987) (https://amzn.to/3doAWz1) - made with friends on weekends in his ...

I have been waiting for this most recent offering of the Dune Series more so than any other movie this year. Not that I am a massive Dune fan.. not at all... but I have always looked at the huge Frank Herbert novels and wondered what secrets and marvels this vast world holds. And with effects where they are, and the incredible filmmaker Denis Villeneuve at the helm, I was pretty confident that at last here was my IN! Having tried several times to enter the world through the David Lynch film, I h...

Never in the history of We Need To Talk About Movies Podcast has Trev and Nath seen the same film in such a completely different light as this one. Nath's choice this week is Bad Words , the 2013 comedy starring and directed by wholesome actor Jason Bateman as the offensive Guy Trilby, a role that clearly is trying to stick another feather in his proverbial acting cap.
