Ben from FilmFloggers and Sean from Review It Yourself team up to take on a topic that will surely endear them to listeners' and other podcaster's hearts: CGI.

The expected 30 minute run time turns out to be wildly ambitious for these waffling pair of c---- (retracted by Sean).

Ben and Sean try to understand why CGI has become has prevalent as it has-by taking on some of the worst CGI imaginable.

Discussion Points:

-Sean tries to weigh the pros and cons of CGI.

-Tom Cruise films.

-Mummy Action.

-THAT Scorpion King CGI.

-The toll stunts have taken on actors/actresses' bodies.

Relevant Questions:

-Did the cost of insuring actors make the rise of CGI inevitable?

-Are the priorities of modern-film-making wrong?

-Did The Mummy Returns (2001) lose the charm of The Mummy (1999)?

-Does bad CGI take you out of a film?

-Was Titanic (1997) the 'last hurrah' for practical effects?

Irrelevant Questions:

-Is Ben regretting giving Fiona control of FilmFloggers Instagram?

-Can Sean brighten up Ben's mood?

-Is Sean's American accent getting any better?

-Is Sean's British accent worse?

-Who is worse, Dakota Fanning or the kid from this film?

-Has Sean been dreaming about Tom Cruise?

Quotes:

-"If you can't make it look good, just leave it alone".

-"Oh God I'm going to side with you now, God it's finally happened".

-"Lord of the Rings came out the same year"-Ben makes a devastatingly good point.

-"Whinge-Fest is probably more appropriate for us".

Thanks for listening!
