Is it better than Space Jam? Snow dad's better than no dad. Christmas movies are all about jolly old Saint Nicks and Grumpy old Scrooges. Take a minute and spare a thought for the snowmen who don't really get the love they deserve. And this one's in a band! Michael Keaton is a snowman. That's the movie. The guy who played Batman once is now a snowman. Half of this household like the fact that Mr Keaton is a lot colder. The other half is bored by a family drama hidden behind a weird animatroni...
Is it better than Space Jam? Come in and know me better, man! Christmas is here and, like many people, a family favourite around this holiday season is The Muppet Christmas Carol. And why shouldn't it be? The Henson company is in fresh new hands and we're off to a flying start with Brian Henson taking the lead. The usual suspects are all here. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo & Rizzo but, this time, Sir Michael Caine has entered the game. In this episode, we chat about what we love about this mo...
Is it better than Space Jam? What's this? What's this? A Christmas episode? Tim Burton fans everywhere, rejoice! We're finally talking about a film he had a huge hand in making but didn't actually direct! The Nightmare Before Christmas is the best possible film we could think of to slowly transition out of musical month and into the festive season. And with stop motion animation too? We are blessed. A modern fairytale, if you will, join us as we rip this film a new one. (Spoiler alert! We jus...
Is it better than Space Jam? There's gonna be some big old spoilers in this one, folks! It's here! We made it! We held in the baby long enough to see the latest Wicked movie! A year has flown by since the world was plunged into the land of Oz and now, here we are again, older, wiser and much much darker. The intermission is over and Act 2 has begun. Wicked's second act, for us personally, isn't as strong as the first so hopefully, the movie is better. We chat about what we liked, what we didn...
Is it better than Space Jam? Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more. Musical month continues here at Biscuits & Blurays and as we slowly wait for Wicked: For Good to come out, what better time to talk about the film that started it all? A timeless classic and one that has been seen by billions of people (it came out in 1939 so take that with a pinch of salt) The Wizard of Oz is a beautiful film, packed full of witches, lions and tigers and bears. Oh my! But is it perfect? Well,...
Is it better than Space Jam? I hope Disney know my cinema seat is still warm from the first time I watched this... Another day, another Disney live action remake, and with it being Musical Month over here at this podcast, it fits in perfectly. In a desperate scramble to recover some money from their recent flops (let's face it, that's what it is) Moana is the latest Disney classic to be thrust into the real world. A teaser dropped yesterday and Jade and I are here to tear it to pieces as best...
Is it better than Space Jam? Come with me and you'll be in a world of Pure Imagination. Folks, the spooky season is over. Did you enjoy it? Good! And as we're mid show week in our every day lives, let's talk about musicals this month. First up, let's chat about Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Usually watched around Easter but after building the Lego set, let's bring it forward. Gene Wilder leads the way on a tour of the factory that has more health and safety violations than ever bef...
Is it better than Space Jam? Happy Halloween Everybody!! Five episodes we've done over this spooky season and what a season it's been. The most wonderful time of the year so let's celebrate by reviewing one of the most talked about films of the year. Weapons is a movie by Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian, and he given us a gift this year. A horror mystery that, honestly, split opinions upon its release. That said, it's a favourite in our house because it's such a rollercoaster. In our spec...
Is it better than Space Jam? Scream if you wanna go Aster! Our penultimate Halloween this year and it's one of my favourites. Ladies and gentlemen, Ari Aster has entered the game. With some rousing performances that made everyone sit up and take notice (except the Academy) Hereditary is a slow burn in typical Aster fashion but what a ride it is. Such a ride in fact, it makes you want to stick your head out the window. A first time viewing for Jade so let's chat about the things we like, the t...
Is it better than Space Jam? You'll Float Two would have been a better title. We are still very much in spooky season and what kind of Halloween would it be without Pennywise the Dancing Clown (it just accured to me he doesn't dance in this one so the name needs changing, sir.) IT: Chapter Two was highly anticpated and with that long wait comes an extended run-time, a de-aged Finn Wolfhard and a heck of a performance from Bill Hader but what else does this sequel have to offer? How does it co...
Is it better than Space Jam? Now don't close your eyes, and don't try to hide... Our second Halloween episode is here and it's time we travel back to when Disney used to make films based on their rides. Pirates of the Caribbean came first and shivered everyone's timbers. Hey, I know! Let's make a family film based on The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy. Great idea, that. We are fans of the ride (in Paris) so we slapped this one on to chat about as I was under the impression this was a g...
Is it better than Space Jam? Can I Keep You? We're back from a little break folks, and we had a swell time. So much so that we almost forgot that we just entered the spookiest time of the year; October. To celebrate, we're pushing back our Tron episodes (we didn't really fancy watching them in the end) and we're giving you 5 Halloween episodes this year. Welcome to the first one! Casper is the friendliest ghost you'll ever know. So much so, they made a movie about him in 1995. Join us as we c...
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...
