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 […]
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, […]

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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Perfect Blue 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 Rose of Versailles (2025 film) It’s Ani-May folks, and the first anime film out of the blocks for this month is Jill‘s choice, a feature length re-interpretation of the groundbreaking Shojo Manga (and then Anime series) The Rose of Versailles. Is the modern take as beautiful as the original Manga? Does it feel as opulent as the 1979 Anime? Listen in and find out how we go eating cake and storming the Bastille! Dion and Quinny are the two […]
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 […]
Daredevil, Yellowjackets and Andor S2 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. Will Disney’s refreshed take on Daredevil unleash our worst angels. Are the ladies in Yellowjackets still probably mostly mentally unwell? Or are the actual demons in the woods? Join in with the team as we sit our butts on the couch and enjoy the best the Boob Tube has to offer. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A Different Man This week we are looking A Different Man, at a film that takes some pretty bold and experimental swings at a subject that many would be uncomfortable with; facial difference and the experiences of the people who live with it. Sebastian Stan takes on the role of Edward; a shy actor who has facial difference (it is not mentioned but it seems to be Neurofibromatosis type 1 or NF1). His life is upended when he tries an […]
Companion Ain’t love grand? Is there anything more delightful that the excitement and drama of a new relationship? Well, if it ends in someone covered in blood and multiple dead or dismembered bodies strewn around the lake-side mansion of an Eastern European multi millionaire… then maybe there’s a few things that are better. Companion is the new, dark, genre-hopping comedy, starring Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher with thriller undertones and a smattering of rom-com for those of you who like […]
