Have you ever just been watching a movie, a regular, every-day movie, and then WHAM! A song bursts in and assaults you completely unexpectedly! You are shocked, you are lying bloodied and broken, your toe tapping reflexively... You have been blindsided by a musical, and you could be entitled to compensation. There's a strange trend in recent years of not showing any elements in the trailer that might indicate that the film is in fact a musical... Why is this? To explore the question we have looked at a couple of recent items that have followed the trend to varying different levels of success and quality.
In this show, Dion, Peta, Jill and Quinny are the musical chorus, while the films Mean Girls and Wonka, take centre stage, and Hazbin Hotel provides the foul mouthed, animated comic relief!
https://youtu.be/SvXYkQr1eg8
As always, a massive, musical, animated thank-you goes to our community of chorus line dancers and backup singers who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live and loud each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And an especially huge thanks to any of you kind enough to support us by chucking a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch... every bit helps us tap dance, fosse and slut-drop into the magical podcast you know and love...
If you feel so inclined, drop us a sub! The more subs we get the more Emotes You get! Every bit of your support helps us to keep our toes tapping and our mics live.
Don't fret if you can't be there for the recording though as you can catch them on Youtube usually later that very night. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss them!
What changes would you like to see us make moving forward?

Jurassic World: Rebirth
For a franchise that started with a single book and then a begrudging sequel, the fact that we are now 7 Films, two sub-titles, two Netflix animated shows and numerous games deep, tells us a lot about the state of the entertainment industry... (rather than the quality of that first book.) We have moved past the Jurassic park, beyond even the Jurassic World... we are now living in a post Jurassic planet. So if this film a true rebirth of a franchise, or the should this egg have been left in the incubator a bit longer.
Dion and Jill have seen this weeks film, but Quinny is definitely here for emotional support and colour commentary.

Quinny
M3gan 2.0
The B1tc# is B@ck is not the tagline for this movie... but it could very easily have been. After the surprise hit that was the first M3gan, Blumhouse have done what they do best, and that is turn around a moderately budgeted sequel in a surprisingly quick time. Does this make for an excellent film that expands the original property and deepens the lore and background of the character? No.
Does is make for an energetic romp that features not one but two murderous cyborgs with dead, doll-like eyes, doing martial arts and ridiculous stunts? Possibly. Listen in the full review to get the down low on the download.
D10n , Qu1nny and J1ll are all on board for this episode and you better believe they not only have opinions, but a bunch of ways the film could have been SO much better.
Synopsis
Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage, its creator, Gemma, has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy. However, as Emlia's self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking orders. Hoping to stop Emilia, Gemma decides to resurrect M3GAN, making it faster, stronger, and more lethal.

The Last 28 Years of Us
The last 28 years (or there abouts) of zombie films have really changed the face of the genre. With the introduction of fast zombies, and then the addition of different zombie types; like Rage monsters, infected, fungus monsters, behemoths, clickers, alphas, etc... we have come a long way from the barely threatening shambling shufflers of yesteryear. We're not even confined to the big screen any more, with Zombies being perfect fodder for prestige TV, as well as cinema screens. Two watershed moments are our topic for discussion in this show; the continuation of the genre re-defining 28 Days later series and the second season of the Televisual video game adaptation tour-de-force series The Last of Us.
In this episode both Dion and Jill are your designated survivors, while Quinny and Peta both try to outrun hordes of zombies in very different parts of the world.
Synopsis
It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.

Murderbot
This weeks comfort watch sci-fi sit-com; Murderbot follows a self-hacking security android (a "SecUnit") named Murderbot who has gained free will but prefers to keep it secret while watching media. The series, based on the boooks "The Murderbot Diaries" by Martha Wells explores Murderbot's reluctant journey as it navigates dangerous situations and forms unexpected bonds while trying to maintain its desire for solitude and media consumption.
The whole team is in for this one, Dion, Jill, Quinny and Peta, and in our own way we are all Murderbots... on the right day.
Synopsis
A media-obsessed private security cyborg, calling itself Murderbot, must hide its newly acquired autonomy, while completing dangerous assignments and being simultaneously drawn to humans and appalled at their weakness.

Trailer:
I am a security unit or SEC unit. I was built to protect and obey. Humans and humans are idiots. But now that I've hacked my programming, I can do whatever I want as long as they don't find out.
Speaker 1
Well.
Speaker
Now let's talk security. We need you to select the SEC unit to take on the mission this. Is the newest model available? There's the one behind it. That's a refurbished.
Speaker 3
Model. Ohh. Look at that piece. Of crap. Oh, wait, that's me.
Speaker
Which one is the?
Speaker 4
Least expensive that one, but you get what you. Pay for.
Speaker 3
True.
Speaker
Wouldn't be so creepy, but didn't stand so still. Can you hear? Us Ant.
Speaker 3
I could. I just didn't care. I was watching the entertainment channels on the company's satellites. I had watched 7532 hours of content shows like the rise and fall of Sanctuary Moon. Sleep with that. Stars captain. Ohh, what now?
Speaker
Sorry.
Speaker 3
Run. Stay calm. It'll be OK.
Speaker
I didn't know that the. Face. Yeah, it's kind. Of a sweet face.
Speaker 3
Stop staring at.

I have been noticing some anomalies with the secunia T and when I plugged into its system the unit was already rogue.
Speaker 3
Ohh.
Speaker 4
Itself murder. White House proverb. It's a killing machine.
Speaker
Murder bomb. You stop calling murder bots terrifying.
Speaker 4
I mean, that's what it calls itself. So I am just being respectful.
Speaker
Do you think we can trust it?
Mountainhead
In this episode we check in with the billionaire class and see how they are doing! Turns out: Not great. With Mountainhead; the new film by Jesse Armstrong, we take a fly on the wall peek into the lives of 4 tech bros who have infinitely more money than sense, and somehow even less emotional intelligence that either. It's a tough watch and feels a little too close to current events at times. but we made sure to give it a rigorous once over.
We also check out Predator: Killer of Killers the new Predator film from Prey director Dan Trachtenberg in this podcast, and see what other shows we have been entertaining ourselves with.
The whole team in on board too, with Dion and Quinny playing the role of Tech Bros with ZERO money with Jill and Peta as the long suffering voices of reason.
Check it out - we promise there's no AI in this AT ALL.
Synopsis
A group of billionaire friends get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis.

Andor and Rogue One
9 Years ago (BBY?) Rogue One was released and a lot of people enjoyed the darker, more serious take on the Star Wars universe. However it felt like an outlier, and for many it didn't fit in with everything else in that galaxy Far Far away.
3 years ago Andor was released. It was show many thought was unnecessary, exploring the backstory of a secondary character many hadn't really embraced. "nobody asked for this" was a regular comment. Oh how that attitude was to change upon it's release!
Today, the two seasons of Andor are a high water-mark for not just Star Wars, but TV dramas in general. And they way that they have re-contextualised Rogue One is nothing short of revalatory.
In this podcast we look back at the two seasons of the show, and then dig down looking for the deep substrate foliated calcite at the heart of these shows and movies.
Dion is our rogueish hero, Jill is the far less creepy non-cgi Leia at the end of Rogue One and Quinny is definitely the Glub Shitto of this podcast.
Synopsis
this story follows Cassian Andor, a thief and mercenary, five years before Rogue One. He's seeking his sister, Kerri, and becomes involved in the nascent rebellion against the Empire after killing two security guards. He then seeks refuge on Ferrix, where he and his friend Bix are drawn into a black market deal involving an Imperial tech unit. Season two then spans the intervening 5 years leading up to the events of the movie which will ultimately dovetail into Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

Batman Ninja Vs Yakuza League
When it came out in 2018, Batman Ninja may not have been our cup of green tea, in fact it was definitely NOT. But is this sequel many years in the making, more to our tastes? Or has it gone off like sushi in the sun?
It's Batman as a Ninja, with his Bat-boys in tow, going up against not the Justice League, but the Yakuza League... yes Yakuza League. It's much easier if you don't try to have it make sense. Just let the weird wash over you...
This one was Quinny's choice and as such he's willing to refund anyone the $7 Dollars* it takes to watch it. jill has already claimed hers and Dion is not far behind.
Synopsis:
Only a day after returning from the past, Batman and his allies discover that the world is not quite the same as they left it. The entire island of Japan no longer exists and neither do the heroes of the Justice League. But before they can get a handle on what is going on, yakuza literally start raining from the skies.
*Quinny will refund you in the form friendship and free podcasts; not actual cash.

is that Green Lantern
now say goodbye wonder Woman of course Yakuza families are all that exist
there is no government nor law enforcement within the ranks of the Japanese Yakuza are sacrificial assassins sent to kill the bosses of rival syndicates

Ani-May continues on and this time we are looking back nearly 30 years to the classic psychological thriller that introduced the western world to the intricacies of Japanese Idol culture and unhealthy parasocial fandom in that sub-culture, all through the singular vision of the acclaimed director Satoshi Kon. Based loosely on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by writer Yoshikazu Takeuchi, this film explores the trauma of sexual assault, the fear and uncertainty of dealing with stalkers, and the existential dread that comes from gaslighting and potential mental collapse from an unravelling reality. It is a far cry from the usual anime of the same time period and it remains as topical and relevant today as it was in 1997.
Dion made the call for us to watch this, as he wanted a classic piece of Anime, what none of us were really prepared for was the uncompromising film that we watched. Jill was far more up to speed on the content and style while Quinny thought he'd seen it and then realised he probably hadn't. All of them had a lot to process from this episode.
Please note the film does include some disturbing and graphic imagery of sexual assault, and our podcast does discuss the content. As such a heavy trigger warning if advised.
Synopsis
A pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past.

Speaker
Ohh.
Speaker 2
The amount of ice sparkles.
Quinny
Holy ******* **** I have.
Dion
And they just got more.
Quinny
Like at one point in time I started to think, OK, are we going to start making their eyes bigger just so we can fit more detail and sparkle in? And then I realized that they weren't gonna do that. They were just gonna throw extra sparkle at the screen just like. Wherever the **** they felt like it was like you have a spot, you have a.
Speaker 2
Pocket Sparkle Pocket Sparkle pocket sparkle.

Speaker 2
Next. Sorry, what are we talking about this for? This one? For our very first one.
jill

jill
You're welcome.
Speaker 2
For. Annie May because it is both classic and new anime.

Thunderbolts*
Marvel has been pretty hit and miss of late, It's TV has been great but some of the films have felt a little under-cooked. We have had a new Captain America film which some thought flew too close to the sun so now it’s time for the B-team lineup to take centre stage. Will this NEW film AVENGE the sacred timeline? Will it be a bolt of exciting lightning or more of a belated and low energy roll of thunder? Or...will it change it's title 4 days after release confusing the hell out of everyone?!
All 4 of our team of loveable misfits are on board for this show and we each had a fair bit to say about Thunderbolts* especially that damn asterisk!
Synopsis:
Ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes -- Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker -- embarks on a dangerous mission that forces them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.

It's TV time again folks! We're back after our break, checking out Yellowjackets, Daredevil: Born Again, and the first look at Andor Season 2.

It's upon a time. A bunch of teenage girls got stranded in the wilderness. And he hunted their friends. They sit on their flesh. And then went completely nuts.
Speaker
How? People are willing to do some mixed up stuff just to see.
Speaker 1
The other day.
Speaker 2
I think Natalie knows what each.
Speaker 3
Spot is does she deserve to people like?
Speaker 2
Do you believe?
Speaker
Her.
Speaker 1
Instead of doing what was right for us, she did what she wanted to do. So tonight we'll give the wilderness what it wants.
Speaker
I'm worried about. What we're gonna have to tell people if we get back. This place will follow us for the rest of our lives.
Jill
Someone wants us.
Speaker 2
Dad, don't think for a second. I won't get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 5
Are you hiding something?
Speaker 2
Think about how screwed up we would be if we have survived a plane crash only to end up eating each other.
Speaker 1
Oh, I do.
Speaker 5
The only people that know about this are either us or dead.
Speaker 1
The only way to truly be safe?
Speaker 6
Is to be the only one left.
Speaker
This is not healthy. You really are insane. Secrets. Will be spelled Yellow Jackets, new season streaming February.
Dion
That's why. Yeah. That's OK, miss. It was like, oh, you're quiet. It's like, you know what? We're quiet because we had not. Crack the whip and I had forgotten I was all getting there tonight. Yes, we're doing the TV roundup, which is great. The second part, Part 2 of the TV round up.
Quinny
Oh. Hang on with with the the TV TV roundup, Yes. Isn't that when you meant? To do the.
Dion
Thing. Ohh yeah you there we go.
Quinny
Specifically, set it up for that.
Dion
Or maybe that's? The beat E. Yeah, look, OK.
Sinners, Reacher, Invincible and Severance.
We are doing our best to keep ahead of all the amazing TV releases out there at the moment, and seemingly we're failing pretty miserably occasionally. So in an effort to make up ground, we are doing two TV roundups of what's hot on the box. This week is Reacher Season 3, Invincible Season 3 and the second huge season of Severance. But as we had to move the show to accomodate a screening, we have also included a special bonus review of the film we saw; Sinners - The new film from Ryan Coogler, starring Michael b Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld and many many more.
Dion, Jill and Quinny are the ones getting square eyes this week, so we hope you appreciate the many hours they have spent in front of the TV (and movie screen) for you...
Sinners Synopsis:
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Quinny

Dion
To me, severance is something I try to avoid, especially if my boss walks in and goes. I would like to discuss severance and I'm like please no.
Quinny
Hmm. Unless there's an extraordinarily good package to go along with that severance.
Dion
Yeah. Well, we just watched Milchak. That was quite a package that went along with severance, indeed.
Speaker 7
Yeah.
Quinny
And as as you said, Jill, that man couldn't move.
Speaker 7
Yeah. Hello to Jill and hello to Cody and hello to me. We're here and hello to everyone.
Dion

A Minecraft Movie, A Working Man and A More!
16 years ago in 2009 a game developer called Markus "Notch" Persson started seeing blocks in a game called Infiniminer... this sparked his imagination and he began to create blocks everywhere... everything in blocky shapes. simple colours and perfectly cuboid construction pieces. In 2011 his cave based game came fully to fruition and the world was introduced to Minecraft. 14 years later that game has had millions of players, and it's now a major feature film with Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Is the Movie as creatively free and experimental as the game its based on? You'll find out soon.
We also checked out A Working Man, the new Jason Statham Movie that's not based on a video game but a comic book written by Chuck Dixon, directed by David Ayer, adapted by none other than Sylvester Stallone.
Dion, Jill and Quinny are you hard working miners digging deep into this episode to find the valuable ore of exciting film-making and to sift through the slurry of tedious cinematic drek. Buckle up folks!!
Synopsis: A Minecraft Movie:
A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve.
Synopsis: A Working Man:
Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life of working construction. However, when human traffickers kidnap his boss's daughter, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined.

Yeah, we're doing a Minecraft movie and a working man, and anything else with a in the title. OK. OK,
Guilty Viewing Omissions
We have hit a milestone that we never expected to achieve; 400 shows! thats a LOT of podcasting folks, a metric tonne of it in fact! So how do we choose to celebrate this momentous achievement? We watched our guiltiest cinema sins! That's right those films or series' that we had never got around to watching; The films that will automatically make all your friends say "Oh my god, you haven't seen X?!?!" What better way to celebrate than with shame!
For Quinny it was the 1965 classic The Sound of Music. For Peta, the Stanley Kubric classic, 2001 a Space Oddysey. Jill took on the entire Back to the Future trilogy! She is very dedicated.
And Dion, in an effort to educate himself and also appease a question that has been asked of us since... well, since forever... "When will you do a Smallville retrospective?"
Now he may not have watched all 220 episodes, but he definitely watched three.

The Electric State
Simon Stålenhag may not be a household name, but his incredibly distinctive art has inspired hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. His books, "Tales from the Loop", "Labyrinth", "Things from the Flood" and "Sunset at Zero Point" as well as the novel basis for this film "The Electric State" have garnered a passionate fanbase and one of these books has already been loosely adapted into the @amazonprime series “Tales from the Loop”.
That brings us to this new big budget Netflix adaptation of The Electric State, from Avengers: Endgame directors The Russo Brothers. Loosely based on the graphic novel, the film takes place in a reimagined version of 1997. Humans are isolated in their VR helmets in the wake of a global war against the robots, and around them the world is on the cusp of a complete technological meltdown. Amidst this dystopian setting a teenage girl named Michelle and a robot travel the U.S in search of answers to questions that may save her brothers life...
Is the combination of @milliebobbybrown, @prattprattpratt and the @therussobrothers going to bring this story to enjoyable life? Or will it be a lifeless remote controlled robotic shell?
Dion, Quinny and Peta are your road trip buddies this week, and we are sure one of them is a sneaky robot in disguise... but its up to you to decide who.
Synopsis

Dion
Oh, hello and welcome to the periodic table of awesome. And tonight I think I'll write a straight anyway, I feel like I'm very electric. He's very electric. An electric powered evening everything is live. All. Everything's great. Hello kuni.
Quinny
Is that the state you're in?
Dion
Peter. That is the state I'm in. There's the there's the, the one that.
Quinny
Excellent.
Dion
Had to do all right, OK. No, sorry. Can't do a Norwegian accent because. I don't care if it was written by.
Quinny
I mean, I'll give it a red hot go, but you're gonna hate it.
Dion
Yeah. I mean they only Norwegian accent I can do is from the chef, from The Muppets. So.
Quinny
With me.
Dion

Speaker
Peta

Quinny
You're feeling like.
Dion
I know I just do it to annoy Europeans. Fine.
Peta
Can't remember what.
Mickey 17
The novel this film was based on; Mickey 7 was being written by Edward Ashton, at almost exactly same time as the film back in 2021. Director Bong Joon Ho saw an opportunity and ran with it to create something pertinent, meaningful and as always, very weird... What remains then to answer is why the film version has solidly 10 more Mickeys!? Why do we need SO many more Mickeys?
Robert Pattinson is Mickey 1-17 and in fact Mickey 18 as well... and his life...lives are the subject of this funny, poignant and occasionally silly film Science Fiction film.
The whole team is in here, with Jill 41, Peta 99, Dion X and Quinny -3. With all their accumulated knowledge you'd hope they could say something intelligent here. And you would be right!
Synopsis
Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, this stars Robert Pattinson as an "expendable" - a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong.

97th Academy Awards Recap
The 2025 Awards season has closed out, much the same way that liberty has died; with thunderous applause and too much Timothee Chalomet. We watched a bunch of the Awards favourites ahead of the Oscars, saw some of the Emmy's missed the SAGs and the BAFTAs and then came back together for the 97th Academy awards of whatever... and discussed them AND the Razzies in this fullsome podcast!
All 4 hosts are in for this and nobody announced the wrong film when opening the envelope. Well almost nobody. DION!!!
Synopsis
Awards shows are truly stupid and huge waste of time and money...but here we go anyway.

Let me explain what we're doing tonight. We have a great show, but before we continue, there are a few housekeeping. I'm implementing to keep the Oscars running smoothly. OK, first, if your acceptance speech goes too long, instead of playing you off with music, we have something much more powerful. We'll cut to John Lithgow in the audience looking not angry but slightly disappointed.
Dion
Yes, that's what you. Everyone, you want a slightly disappointed John Lithgow at your Oscars because hey wasn't going to play the full intro to the Oscars. Because that would also breach copyright. Not going to do that. We're just going to have some talking and that's going to go. Hello. Welcome to the table. My name is Dion and I'm joined by Peter and Jill and Quinny, and we're tonight. We're talking about the night of nights. We dressed up for it. The Oscars. Yep, I love. Everyone didn't get the memo, including myself. Made a mental memo.
Peta
This is the shirt that. Ran in.
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Jill
This is out after, after after, after party.
Quinny
Yeah, yeah. We've been to Vanity Fair. We've been to the one that some of the other. I was. I was about to say we've been to.
Jill
Elton John's Elton's off party.
Quinny
One at Yeezy's house and then I went. No, we never go into the park.
Dion
Yeah. And like it's two, it's two days later. 'S just trashed and we're recovering.
Quinny
Yeah, they're all over it.
Jill
Three days later.
Quinny
Is.
Dion
It's really good and I'm not even going to put putting up the bother putting up the spoilers logo because come on, it's post, it's already gone.
Speaker 7
Hmm.
Dion
Not spoiling anything if you haven't seen the Oscars by now are the winners. What are you doing?
Peta
But we're not going to spoil the movie plots, right?
Dion
You guys out live?
Peta
A lot of.
The Gorge
Grab your sniper rifles, trip-mines and laser guided minigun turrets, friends... because it's time for a good old fashioned love story! Their eyes meet across a crowded gorge that may be the portal to hell, and from that moment Miles Teller and Anya Taylor Joy are falling, falling deep... into The Gorge. But, are you joining them in the fall into love or something worse? Or are you sitting on the rim, looking down and taking pot-shots?
Our review team is full this week with Peta and Jill on both sides of Apple TV+'s gorge, Dion as the evil corporate overseer, and in tonights performance the portal to hell will be played by Quinny.
Synopsis
Two highly-trained operatives (Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy) are appointed to posts in guard towers on opposite sides of a vast and highly classified gorge, protecting the world from an undisclosed, mysterious evil that lurks within. They bond from a distance while trying to stay vigilant in defending against an unseen enemy. When the cataclysmic threat to humanity is revealed to them, they must work together in a test of both their physical and mental strength to keep the secret in the gorge before it’s too late.

Captain America: Brave New World
In Captain America: Brave New World we follow on from the events of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Eternals, The Incredible Hulk, Winter Soldier, Endgame, Civil War and lets be honest here, 30 something other Marvel films and an indeterminate amount of TV shows. The key takeaways are that Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is Captain America, he still flies around in a wing suit and this time he's fighting the forces of evil in his own government, as well as red angry man who happens to be the President. Nothing political to see here at all...
Dion, Jill and Quinny are each other's wing-people for this high flying adventure!
Synopsis
Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.
A huge shout-out to the magnificent men, women and others in their flying machines... you super heroes who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT. And especially to those who have decided to drop some dead presidents (that's cash) for us. Thanks for supporting us directly via our Ko-Fi jar and now also by subscribing on Twitch! You ALL rock!
If you like what we do, drop us a sub! Every bit of your support helps us to (hopefully) keep entertaining you and making more emotes!
