Is it better than Space Jam? Yippie-yi-yay!! Yippie-yi-o!! Finally, you guys voted and the time is here! Twisters!! Jade has been pleading for us to cover this film on the podcast since we saw it in cinemas and after much delaying, it finally won the public poll for the next episode. Now, I didn't expect to enjoy this film as much as I did but what a blockbuster! Tornadoes are a subject of fascination in our household so I hope you're ready for a few science facts in this episode....
Is it better than Space Jam? The chances of getting a believable performance from Ice Cube are a million to one, he said... We are very late to the party on this one but when we saw they made another adaptation of H.G. Wells' iconic story, this time with more Ice Cube, we scoffed and chose not to watch it. Then curiosity set in... Filmed during lockdown when everyone was busy buying loo roll and shaving their heads, War of the Worlds comes at the source material with more of a conspiracy theo...
Is it better than Space Jam? Dogs and Cats living together; mass hysteria!! We’re throwing it back in this episode to the early 00’s when CGI was a mixed bag and family films were…special. This week’s episode is no exception. Cats & Dogs is a short and sweet movie about, well, cats and dogs, going at it like they have for centuries. The difference here? I don’t know, some spy stuff too. And Goldblum’s in it. We chat about the film that spawned two more movies after this (which is insane),...
Is it better than Space Jam? There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea. We made it guys! We made it to the Batman film that features Kiss From A Rose! The last of our episodes on the Dark Knight (for this season at least), we're finally looking at Batman Forever, a complete change in style from what came before and Kilmer's in the cowl! As Batman faces off against three of his villains, Two-Face, The Riddler and angst, we chat about many things we like about this movie and a few thing...
Is it better than Space Jam? You wanna get nuts again? Come on! Let's get nuts again! Welcome to the episode where we talk about the Penguin and Catwoman and maybe, just maybe, the caped crusader might crop up every now and then to stop them. This is Batman Returns and if you were to stop me in the street and ask which Batman movie was under-rated and secretly top tier, my answer would always be this. Jade's first time watching this so strap in as we chat about DeVitos, Pfeiffers and Walkens ...
Is it better than Space Jam? You wanna get nuts? Come on! Let's get nuts!! In response to a certain someone not having watched these all their life, we put it to a vote and now we're covering the Batman movies, all the way from '89 to '95 (we already covered Batman & Robin) Tim Burton takes to the director's chair to give us a very stylish, dark and broody Dark Knight, played by Michael Keaton, as he takes on his greatest foe The Joker, played by Jack Torrance himself, Jack Nicholson. A s...
Is it better than Space Jam? It's the MIBs. Here come the MIBs! We're back to watching movies at home now after a stellar run at the cinema and we're throwing it back to the 90's with a Sci-Fi banger, Men in Black. Grabbing Will Smith from Bel Air and Tommy Lee Jones from Batman Forever, Hollywood threw them into an odd couple situation with some amazing looking alien effects, a rap song on the soundtrack and plenty of pug shaking to deliver a film that only entertained one of us...but which ...
Is it better than Space Jam? Fantastic Foooooooooouuuuuuurrr!!! Spoilers begin at 28:38. Our last blockbuster of the month (blimey, we've been spoilt haven't we?) and it's an absolute banger. This marks the first time this podcast has stepped into the MCU. Not out of choice, we just personally thought the MCU was done putting out interesting content...until now! Marvel's first family are back from limbo (the 20th Century Fox wasteland) and are given a very flashy vibe change and we're here fo...
Is it better than Space Jam? Life is precious. Enjoy every single second. You never know when...Good Luck. We hit a bit of a snag with our blockbuster marathon. We have to wait a week before the MCU releases their latest and while the dust has settled on the man of steel, we weren't sure what to talk about...until today! Ladies & gentlemen, Final Destination: Bloodlines. A soft reboot of sorts, it's time for the Final Destination franchise to rise from the dead and breath new life into Ne...
Is it better than Space Jam? If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a remake? Is it a reboot? No, it's Superman. He's back on the big screen after a few years off and the slate has truly been wiped clean. With Mr James Gunn taking over this new universe, what better way to start than with the Man of Steel himself. A brand new cast, a brand new franchise and most importantly, a brand new colour palette (my gosh, is this film colourful), is this ...
Is it better than Space Jam? Life, uh, finds a way...again...again... After a short break we're back and so, it would seem, is the summer blockbuster. And who better to kick us off than Amblin Pictures? Yes, this one is a massive love letter to Jurassic Park and Jaws but it's also a bit of a soft reboot for a franchise as stale as fossilized bread. Yet again, there's another island with big ol' reptiles on so hey, what could possibly go wrong?! With Monsters and Rogue One director, Gareth Edw...
Is it better than Space Jam? Live action remake are like buses; You wait around and suddenly two come around at once. Turning cartoons into less colourful, less energetic and all around dull movies has been a Hollywood trend for a while now but now Dreamworks has thrown their hat into the ring and it's taken flight. Clearly an advertisement for Epic Universe (not a plug but if free tickets get sent our way, result!) How To Train Your Dragon is the first Dreamworks banger to get the real world...
Is it better than Space Jam? Let us be glad, let us be grateful! Needless to say, last year Wicked was easily one of our favourite movies and luckily for us, the musical has been split into two parts. We’ve had our intermission drinks, eaten our ice cream and now finally, Act 2 is here…For Good! In this episode, we hint at what’s been teased, how we think the film will improve on the story, what could be added and ask the important question; Will Wicked: For Good Be Better Than Space Jam? Our...
Is it better than Space Jam? 💩 Not gonna lie to you folks, this was a difficult one to get through. From the heights of Spice World, we're fallen to a new low and this is probably the worst film we'll ever cover on the podcast; The Emoji Movie. Art is dead and we killed it, The Emoji Movie is clearly a film that came out way too late and is written by writers who have no idea how teenagers (or even phones for that matter) work, but our job here isn't to get you to watch it. Our job is only to...
Is it better than Space Jam? Another Disney remake? Gosh, we are lucky, aren't we? This time, that little blue alien that you find on duvet sets in Primark gets the live action treatment. Originally planned as a Disney+ original, the powers that be decided that the trailer caused enough of a reaction to get it on the big screen, so here we are. From dreadfully miscast aliens, to surfing in Hawaii and all the Elvis songs inbetween, join Jade & I as we chat about what we liked, disliked and...
Is it better than Space Jam? People of the world, Spice up your life! Well, we took a very long, very unexpected break after season 4 ended with The Minecraft Movie but, like the changing of the seasons...the seasons have changed. Welcome to The Biscuits & Blurays Podcast: A New Legacy Season 5!! And we've picked a banger for you all. We're your hosts, James and Jade and this is Spice World. The Spice Girls were all the rage back in the 90s and sometimes that meant you get a movie. Is it ...
Is it better than Space Jam? As a child, I yearned for the mines. As an adult, not so much... Right then, let's get this one out of the way. As time goes on, humans seem to get better and better at adapting video games. From the early Super Mario and Street Fighters to The Last of Us, Fallout and Sonic, we have mastered the formula, but every now and then, something comes along to take us right back to square one. Welcome to this episode about A Minecraft Movie. A film where we let Jack Black...
Is it better than Space Jam? I don't care what universe you're from, that's gotta hurt! Welcome back folks as, yet again, we struggle to decide how to end a season. Luckily for us, Jack Quaid has answered our prayers by dropping a new action comedy, in cinemas now, so why not talk about it? Jack Quaid plays Nathan Caine, an bank clerk who doesn't feel any pain due to a condition he has. That won't stop him on a quest for true love however as this fun little movie gives us some unique action a...
Is it better than Space Jam? We're not quite done with season 4 yet. A few weeks ago, we announced our lineup for season 5 of our podcast but we forgot to check when films are being released and Disney, in their infinite wisdom, decided to drop Snow White so here we are to talk about it. You'd be appy to know that this episode was recorded away from the press and the media and we only invited each other. We won't be talking about any of the stories that surround this new live action remake bu...
Is it better than Space Jam? DO THE ROAR! Welcome to our final episode of season 4 guys (unless we squeeze Snow White in). We made it and what a Shrek-tacular way to end it, and how happy are we that we don't have to say Shrek-tacular anymore. Shrek Forever After is yet another entry into the ever growing franchise and certain lessons have been learnt. Whilst we feel it's a vast improvement, is it anything compared to the might of Shrek 2? Join us as we chat about what we like, what we don't ...
