In this episode, join me as I discuss some of the misconceptions of the VFX industry and whether or not it has been getting worse over the past year. I breakdown what VFX actually is, why bad VFX can be a problem and some positive & negative examples of CGI within the industry. As well as this, I talk about the newest series on Disney+ called Light & Magic which takes an in depth look at the journey of the VFX company Industrial Light & Magic and what technology I've really appreciated coming from the development of the VFX industry. Enjoy :)

Marvel have been coming out with more content than was ever fathomable about 5 years ago with almost every month of the year containing Marvel content being watched and theorised on the Twitter-sphere. But, is it too much? Is the content actually meaningful and rewarding or have we had enough? Listen in as I explore this hypothesis using some of the films and tv shows that I haven't explored on the pod yet. Enjoy :)

In this episode, we are looking at franchise films again - but this time through two specific case studies of "legacy" franchise films (films that have a predecessor film(s) that released well before the newest instalment has released). These two case studies are Jurassic World: Dominion and Top Gun: Maverick. An in-depth exploration of these two films will aid in the question posed in the title of the episode - should we say goodbye to legacy franchise films? Enjoy :)

Spoilers for Jurassic World: Dominion -> 20:24 - 38:05

Spoilers for Top Gun: Maverick -> 46:08 - 55:00

In this episode, SHE'S BACK AND MORE EXCITABLE THAN EVER! It's the 50th episode and time to shake things up - talking about the question that everyone in the film space has been discussing since the pandemic began, is cinema dying? Three years on from the infamous Martin Scorsese Empire Interview claiming that "Marvel movies aren't cinema", I discuss what this means and the real life implications of this statement. This includes dissecting quotes from the articles written by Scorsese and a recent Netflix report of defunding "passion projects" being green-lit by their studio. Enjoy :)
