Admit One Movies

Reviews of Williams, Atomic Blonde, The Hitman's Bodyguard and The Dark Tower The local podcast with most of its listeners in the USA returns, with a working audio file this time (sorry, so sorry) and a load of goodies for your lucky fans. News and gossip to begin with, mostly DCEU focussed with discussions of The Batman and the next Wonder Woman (though not about Patty Jenkins giving a bitch-slap to James Cameron). A swift run through those notable film stars who have passed on since we were last on air. And one who hasn't (#Rourkewatch). Simon has a review of family documentary Williams which is less about the legendary F1 team, and more about the family behind the name. Mat reviews the Charlize Theron 90s set Euro-action flick Atomic Blonde, also starring James McAvoy. More Euro-carnage as Simon reviews Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson in The Hitman's Bodyguard, which also stars a foul-mouthed Salma Hayek. Final review this week sees Mat cast his eye over Idris Elba and Matthew McConnaughey in the long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King's legendary series of novels, The Dark Tower.

It's the August Bank Holiday, and it's blazing hot, so Mat and Simon retire to the pub to discuss some of the latest releases. Simon has a review of Formula One documentary Williams, telling the story of the last remaining F1 team with the founder's name over the door. Mat takes over to discuss the Charlize Theron retro action flick Atomic Blonde. Back to Simon for the Ryan Reynolds / Samuel L. Jackson action comedy The Hitman's Bodyguard, and finally Mat has a review  Idris Elba & Matthew McConaughey's attempt to take on Steve King's epic fantasy The Dark Tower. We have some more DCEU news and, sadly, a lot of celebrities to remember.

Mat and Simon, complete with furry audience member, take another full throttle dive through the world of film. This time they discuss Disney's streaming service and the affect on Netflix, the next movie from the creator of The Thick of It, Veep and In The Loop; Armando Iannucci. We take a look back at the careers of Martin Landau, Jeanne Moreau and the great Sam Shepherd. Reviews this week are Netflix documentary Icarus, low budget race relations comedy drama The Big Sick and Luc Besson's bonkers return to grand space opera Valerian and the City of a thousand planets.

Admit One Movies, Wiltshire's premier pub-based movie podcast returns with reviews of Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk and Despicable Me 3, as well as a look at the glut of trailers from Comicon including Blade Runner 2049, Thor Ragnarok, Justice League and the oddity that is Bright. We also look back at the lives of George A Romero and John Heard, sort of review War for the Planet of the Apes by basing our review on the other two films that Simon has finally seen and put our meagre support fully behind Jodie Whittaker as Doctor Who.

Admit One turns One! With reviews of Tom Cruise's The Mummy, Tom Holland's Spiderman:Homecoming, Michael Bay's latest robot stomp-fest Transformers: The Last Knight, and Edgar Wright's car chase opus Baby Driver.

Garrgh me harties as the good ship admitone sets sail with Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge. We stay on the beach with a review of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Ephron's Baywatch, examine the curious Colossal with Anne Hathaway and heap yet more praise on Gal Gadot and Chris Pine in the really rather splendid Wonder Woman. All this plus a splat of news, and a look back at the career of James Bond start, and legendary smoothie, Sir Roger Moore.

Eeek! Michael Bay has some terrible news. Don't worry though as Simon and Mat look at the latest Mummy trailer, discuss some casting rumours, maybe a Mr. Wheedon is thinking about Batgirl while revving up for reviews of controversial manga adaptation Ghost in the Shell and Ben Wheatley's seventies gunpocalypse Free Fire.

Business as usual then...

  Oscars, eh. There's no way they'll spanner that one up. Hey ho, Simon and Mat take a very brief look at Hollywood's starriest night out, run though as disappointing lack of news as they discuss The Batman, Star Trek: Discovery, Bad Boys for life, and the as yet untitled Han Solo Anthology movie.

It's a coming of age as AdmitOne turns 25 episodes young. The boys discuss some Han Solo spin off news, a look at the Golden Globes and a bizarre review of a film neither of them have seen, Collateral Beauty. After a guilty restock of beer, we get down to it with Reviews of Affleck Senior's gangster thriller Live By Night with Chris Cooper and Zoe Saldana; Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver bring Christianity to 16th century Japan in Martin Scorcese's Silence, and Affleck Junior stars alongside Lucas Hedges and Michelle Williams in Manchester by the Sea.

We've only been going six months, but sod it, let's review the year! The 2016 Movie Christmas dinner is served. A yummy roast potato is Mat's review of Office Christmas Party with Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman. The stuffing balls are Simon's spin through the many, many celebrity deaths of 2017 (but not Kirk Douglas). The boys tear through which films you really should be watching on TV this Christmas to provide you with some delicious carrots and parsnips, then there's a moist golden delicious slice of turkey as the boys choose their top three films of the year and a spoonful of sprouts as they also choose their three worst.... This Christmas special should have been released next week, but then we realised we screwed up the christmas films list. Hey ho! Thanks for listening to us for the past six months. You are all quite awesome. Happy Christmas!!!     Audition Template: 1 Mono Host track (with Speech Volume Leveler), 1 Mono Interview track (with Speech Volume Leveler), 1 Stereo Sound FX with effects, 1 Stereo Music Bed track. 44.1k, 16 bit, Stereo Master.

Finally Rogue One gets the Admit One treatment as Simon and Mat review the latest Star Wars film. Before the main event they pay tribute to Zsa Zsa Gabor, take a look at trailers for Trainspotting 2, Dunkirk, Blade Runner 2049, John Wick Chapter 2, Snatched, and the new movie from Zach Braff, Out with Style with detours into 80's action movies, the humour of Sandi Toksvig, ignore our own instructions to list the films to watch over Christmas (that's in the Xmas Special) and Mat struggles with the fact that Batman is boring....

Twas the week before Christmas ... and Simon and Mat are back in the pub doing what they do moderately well with a bumper edition of Admit One Movies packed with comment and attitude. In this episode the boys raise glass to Kirk Douglas not being dead, discuss the Golden Globe nominations, moan about the long-running Passengers trailer and the short running Silence trailer, love Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 trailer, discuss The Mummy trailer and the wider Universal Monsters franchise, puzzle over Baywatch, puzzle further over The Fate of the Furious and further still over XXX: The return of Xander Cage and the phenomenon of trailers for trailers while considering Spiderman: Homecoming. Reviews of Sully, Moana and Allied round out a very full show.
