In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt speed straight from the cinema into the podcast booth to talk all things Formula One, the glossy new Brad Pitt movie that’s basically Cars meets Top Gun: Maverick with a midlife crisis twist. Sophie’s swept away by the racing, the soundtrack and Brad’s perfect abs, while Matt’s deeply unconvinced by the physics, the plot, and the pit stop strategy. Did this high-octane blockbuster cross the finish line? Or did it just spin off into soft-focus nonsense? Tune in to find out.

In this unusual solo episode of Can I Change My Score?, Matt ventures into the rebooted DC universe without Sophie, who flat-out refused to see another superhero movie. So it’s just him, a cinema ticket, and a whole lot of thoughts on James Gunn’s new Superman. From red pants and infrastructure damage to Lex Luthor’s lack of rizz, Matt muses on masculinity, missed punchlines, and whether we really need another cinematic universe. Is hope enough to save the Man of Steel? Or just another excuse to get punched through a building? Tune in to find out.

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt finally watch Oppenheimer – two years late but still armed with Barbenheimer merch. They marvel at Cillian Murphy’s hollowed-out cheekbones (powered by a single almond), admire Christopher Nolan’s unexpectedly accessible storytelling, and grapple with the hour of post-bomb political fallout. It's a film about big ideas, bigger bombs, and very small lunches. Tune in for the full fallout.

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt return from their podcast hiatus to tackle Jurassic World Rebirth – a dino-sized sequel Matt hoped would rekindle some '90s movie magic. Sophie’s spooked (but not impressed), Matt’s heartbroken (but unsurprised), and both hosts wonder how a film shot on real film can still feel so flat. Was it a thrilling resurrection or just another fossilised franchise cash-in? Tune in to find out.

In the latest episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt don their imaginary tiaras and head back to the cinema for Disney’s long-awaited live-action Snow White. From balcony seating to bold dwarfs and belting ballads, they dive into the sparkle and spectacle of the updated fairytale. Was Rachel Zegler’s performance truly “stellar”? Did the CGI dwarfs look a bit… Tintin? And was there enough Disney magic to stir the emotions – or did it all feel a little too polished and perfect? The duo talk songs, setpieces, and that hedgehog wave, and then decide if this royal remake deserves a higher score – or a poisoned apple.

In this episode, Sophie and Matt dive into Last Breath, the new survival drama based on the harrowing true story of a deep-sea diver trapped on the ocean floor. Sounds intense? Not quite. Despite a starry cast and life-or-death stakes, our hosts felt surprisingly little tension and even less emotion. Was it too faithful to real events to work as a film? Did Woody Harrelson really need to be there? And why didn’t it feel suspenseful when it absolutely should have? Tune in as they unpack all of it and see if their score go as low as the bottom of the North Sea.

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt explore Matt and Mara, a quiet yet captivating Canadian indie film about old flames, life choices, and the subtle tension of wanting more. The film follows Mara, a poetry professor, as the unexpected return of her former friend Matt unsettles her carefully constructed life. They discuss the film’s understated performances, its painfully awkward yet deeply human moments, and the existential dread of poetry classes. Was this a thoughtful character study or just a meandering story about nothing? Listen to the podcast to find out!

In this episode of Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt tackle The Brutalist, a three-and-a-half-hour epic packed with architectural ambition, immigrant struggles, and questionable Hungarian accents. They unpack Adrian Brody’s tormented portrayal of a post-war architect, the film’s sweeping cinematography shot in VistaVision, and the unexpectedly welcome built-in intermission. But does the movie’s historical weight hold up when they realise it’s not based on real events? Sophie is enthralled, Matt remains skeptical, and they both question if The Brutalist is a masterpiece – or just a really long film with beautifully grey lighting.

In this episode of Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt unravel the gloriously unhinged Smoking Causes Coughing, a French satire blending Power Rangers absurdity with horror anthology chaos. From the grotesquely charismatic Chief Didier (a womanising rat puppet oozing green slime) to bizarrely staged campfire horror stories, this film revels in its own surreal nonsense. They debate its deeper meaning—if one exists—while marvelling at its deadpan humour, gory superhero antics, and titanium prison-bed luxury. Matt is all in, Sophie remains unconvinced, but both agree: this is weird cinema at its most ridiculous and unexpectedly brilliant.

In this week's Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt tackle the Oscar-dominating sensation Emilia Perez. Described as a “Disney movie on crack,” this genre-bending musical dives into a kaleidoscope of Broadway-esque numbers, emotional upheaval, and dark undertones. They explore Karla Sofia Gascón's powerful portrayal of the titular character and Zoe Saldana’s swan-like grace, while questioning the film’s peculiar tone and setting. From gyrating bed scenes to heartfelt family struggles, the duo debate the film’s unconventional approach, its Netflix marketing woes, and its long-term impact. Scores shift as they ponder: is it too weird or just weird enough?
