Dinosaur Man

Welcome back to the podcast, this week we'll be mostly reviewing movies that have come out anytime between a week ago and 10 months ago, a real diverse spread today. 

Paul joins the pod again to drop his reviews of sci fi epic 'Dune', long awaited and long delayed James Bond entry 'No Time To Die', comic book sequel 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' and Netflix's remake of the Danish thriller 'The Guilty' which stars Jake Gyllenhaal. Alex takes part in reviewing the horror sequel 'Halloween Kills', the middle entry in the revived timeline of Michael Myers, he also reviews the documentary 'MLK/FBI' from earlier ths year.

Alex is joined by Paul again for a look ahead at what could be the latest revival of the slasher movie within the horror genre. We close out Shoctober by discussing the recently released 'Halloween Kills', the upcoming 'Scream' and 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and what this means for the future of a subgenre that rises to prominence every 20 years or so. 

Paul also proves his horror knowledge in a quiz segment that delves into box office, kill counts and much more besides. 

This week Alex is joined by semi regular guest Paul to bring reviews of some of the special programming from the recently wrapped up 65th BFI London Film Festival. Between satellite screenings around the country and at home screenings on BFI Player, this year had a packed schedule with plenty for everyone. We take time to review six of this year's offerings ahead of their upcoming releases.

Julia Ducournau's French thriller 'Titane' is the Palme d'Or winning follow up to 'Raw' and has been the subject of much discussion and hype since it's premiere there. Kristen Stewart stars as an imagined version of Princess Diana during a pivotal Christmas with the in-laws in 'Spencer', Edgar Wright's much anticipated time warping thriller 'Last Night in Soho' stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy, 'Flee' is a much talked about animated documentary detailing the journey of a young gay refugee from Afghanistan, Jeymes Samuel opened the festival with his stylish western 'The Harder They Fall' which stars Jonathan Majors and Idris Elba, finally Lee Haven Jones' strange Welsh language horror 'The Feast' features a dinner party unlike any other.

Shocktober contiinues with another special episode, Andy is tasked with assembling a Blumhouse style horror film from some predetermined categories and seeing if he can bring in a successful movie whilst remaining under the famously tight budget constrictions in place. 

Which concept does he choose? Who does he cast? Will anyone want to watch it? Listen in to find out. 

It is Shocktober! The ghouls and goblins are about, ghosts are washing their sheets and Draculas are enjoying fine wine. Of course with the oncoming spooky season comes the spookiest day of all, Halloween!

What better way is there tokick things off than with a horror anthology film? Alex made Andy watch 2007's 'Trick 'r Treat' and here we are breaking it down section by section in a number of key categories. We tackle all the things you want from Halloween, spooks, scares, laughs & horniness! 

As spooky season draws in we have a farewell to News & Reviews for a few weeks, don't worry though we're not leaving you with anything but a bumper episode. We've got brand spanking new releases and things we've caught up with from earlier in the year.

Reviews this week are of David Lowery's medieval fantasy 'The Green Knight', Netflix revenge actioner 'Kate', neon tinged assassin expoits in 'Gunpowder Milkshake', quiet drama 'After Love', horror juggernaught 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' and live action/animation hybrid 'Tom & Jerry'.

It's a special episode this week, much like when Two and a Half Men were in CSI for a storyline (everyone remembers this right?), it's a podcast crossover! This is not a cheap attempt at boosting ratings like the CSI one, but more an informative deep dive by Rory M Spence of Doghair Presents into the original MCU.

Join Alex and Rory as they explore Disney's first foray into the MCU some 50 years before Iron Man came out. There are tropes to be explored, scientists to be berated and crime rings to be thwarted.
