Can I change my score?

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt take on Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, a sprawling, noisy, and oddly funny adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland. Both hosts land on the same score (a rare feat!) but for very different reasons: Sophie’s swept along by the atmosphere, Matt can’t get over Sean Penn’s twitchy eyelids, and both are floored by how the film nails its sound design but fumbles its finale. Was it a masterpiece trimmed too long, or a messy epic saved by stellar performances? Expect nacho talk, Alana Haim cameos, and at least one argument about whether DiCaprio’s paycheck was worth it.

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt revisit The Wonder, Sebastián Lelio’s slow-burning tale of miracles, misery, and medicine in post-famine Ireland. Sophie’s swooning over the cinematography and Florence Pugh’s impeccable spoon work, while Matt’s digging deep into the film’s themes of belief, trauma, and small-town control. From fourth wall breaks to real-life mother-daughter casting trivia, the pair dive into why this Netflix sleeper might just be the Florence Pugh film people are sleeping on. It’s haunting, hypnotic, and yes – a bit woeful (in the best way).

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt dive into The Roses – a dark comedy about a marriage slowly (and sometimes violently) unravelling. Sophie’s sipping bubbly and hunting for more chaos, Matt’s quietly admiring the script’s British bite, and both wonder if Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch make the most believable toxic couple in years. Was this the dark romcom they were promised – or did the trailer oversell the carnage? Tune in for thoughts on marriages, murder attempts, and whether British passive aggression is the real villain.

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.

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!
