Clash Of The Titles - a movie podcast!

There’s a difference between dogs and children… right, Chris? Fighting its corner this week is John Wick! After hearing about the trials and tribulations Denzel Washington had to endure in 2004’s Man on Fire, it will take a whole lot for this to be topped. 

Joined again by Absolute Radio presenter and Friend of the Pod, Dave Berry, it’s time to settle this action packed movie-off once and for all!

You had one job Denzel! Hired to protect a family, you guessed it… he fails. Now seeking revenge on those who wronged him, today's high-profile target is 2004's Man on Fire - and we've got a special guest in the studio!

Putting up a fair fight this week is the much sprightlier John Wick. After the death of his wife, the legendary assassin played by Keanu Reeves has nothing left to live for, so when someone steals his car and kills his puppy well, quite frankly, he’s just about had it. Joining Alex and Chris to referee this blockbuster battle is Absolute Radio presenter and Friend of the Pod, Dave Berry!

It’s time for this week’s part two and taking the spotlight today is no other than Orphan (2009). After the death of their unborn child a couple adopt a nine-year-old girl Vera from an orphanage, when things suddenly take a turn for the worst…

Vera starts showing signs of violent and disturbing behaviour. But the real question is: are they up to the horror child standard set by Macaulay Culkin earlier this week? Listen in to find out who takes the disturbing-child-film crown!

If you didn’t know this was a film podcast, this could be perceived as a very dodgy episode title... Anyway!

In the red corner this week, we have The Good Son (1993). After Home Alone launched him into stardom, a violent and disturbing film was of course next on child star Macaulay Culkin's career path. That's up today!

On Thursday, it’s Orphan (2009). A psychological horror film which surrounds.. You guessed it.. An orphan. Another violent and unpredictable child leashes havoc on their family.

Earlier this week, Chris did his best to spread some Karate Kid nostalgia over to Alex. Well, now it’s part two - so it's time to strap on your black belts and brace yourselves. It's time for No Retreat, No Surrender!

Could the ghost of Bruce Lee be the ultimate rival for Mr Miyagi? Probably not. Is this film nothing more than a shoddy remake of the aforementioned Karate Kid? Probably. Join us for the second half of the ultimate Kung Fu film fight!

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting… This week we’re putting The Karate Kid (1984) against the one and only, No Retreat No Surrender (1986), in the ultimate karate movie face off!

First on the agenda is The Karate Kid, as we follow Daniel LaRusso’s bid to simultaneously win the heart of the girl he loves and the fight against his bullies! Can Mr. Miyagi teach him on time or is he just exploiting him for child labour? Grab your black belts and get ready for a kickass movie debate!

We’re still clinging to the icy edge by our fingernails, as Darwinism is pushed to breaking point by laughable choices and plot holes big enough to fall through: it’s time for Vertical Limit!

Join us for part two of our mountain melee, as we weigh up which of these intrepid explorers is laughably, lovably bad - and which is just plain bad. Strap some nitroglycerin to your back and let’s sacrifice others to save ourselves!

Strap your harness on and join us for today’s mountanside melee! First up, Sylvester Stallone searches for the Mountain of Youth amidst pangs of regret and machine gun fire - it’s 1993’s Cliffhanger!  

A truly harrowing opener is followed by a tiresome trudge, but at least we’re entertained by some bafflingly expensive stunts and some of the worst hostage negotiations we’ve ever seen. Hold on!

We’re raising another glass to our next vineyard vacation, as Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church test the audience’s ability to root for wholly dislikable characters in 2004 Oscar nod, Sideways!

Their nuanced take on an introspective trip through Californian wine country makes for a crisp, fruity affair - with notes of surprising unease! But how does it stack up against Monday’s pod favourite, Withnail and I?

We're toasting to bitter hopes of success this week, as these films' respective lads on tour take completely different paths to fuzzy introspection.

First up is a true cult classic that may earn a place in the Clashpod Hall of Fame. Plucked from the melancholic mind of Bruce Robinson, it's Withnail and I!
