Dinosaur Man

We're joined by frequent guest Anthony to discuss the recent release of 'Joker' in full. We talk about where this film leaves the landscape of comic book movies, whether the talk of it being a masterpiece is justified and whether it delivers as an overall film.

This week we're joined by special guest Paul to review one of the most hotly anticipated and widely talked about films of the year, Todd Phillips' 'Joker'. Starring Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, is it everything it's been built up to be or does it fall short of expectations?

Alex also talks about Shola Amoo's semi-autobiographical tale of a boy brought up in foster care whose life is changed dramatically when his birth mother takes him back to London.

In addition to these reviews we chat about the 'Birds of Prey' trailer and Martin Scorsese's comments on MCU movies.

We're a day late but don't worry about it, we're still as informed as ever. This week we're particularly informed about Lulu Wang's family drama 'The Farewell' and comedy horror 'Ready Or Not' starring Samara Weaving.

 We discuss Spider-Man rejoining the MCU and Jurassic Park stars returning to the lost world.

After a week in Hogwarts School defending the world of magic the boys are back to their usual tricks. Andy and Alex both review James Gray's 'Ad Astra' before Andy delves into the world of 'Rambo: Last Blood'. 

Well well well, look who finally pulled their wands out and produced this patronus of a podcast a mere 10 months later than originally intended? 

Alex and Andy return with their take of the sixth year of Harry Potter's story at Hogwarts, they continue the trend of causing chaos at every turn and ruining fairly important character arcs with boneheaded ignorance.

Just 2 more of these episodes to go, we'll try and get the next one out faster. 

Just the one review this week for 'IT Chapter Two', the conclusion of the losers club's battle against Pennywise and his evil forces. It's a long old film so we didn't have space for any other reviews this week as a result. 

We've got a brace of films for you this week which might be as far apart from each other as it's possible to get. 

Andy reviews the third instalment in the Mike Banning action series 'Angel Has Fallen', but is it the best yet?

Alex talks about Pedro Almodóvar's new film 'Pain And Glory', a portrait of a filmmaker wracked with damage coming to terms with the events of his formative years.

Okay guys so this week is even more of a bumper week that usual. We have three film reviews alongside a whole heap of trailer news and D23 info. 

In addition to all this, Alex gets into the news that Spider-Man is now out of the MCU after Sony and Disney were unable to agree terms on a new co financing deal. This section is fairly in depth so if you want to skip to the reviews the timecode is listed above for each section.

Alex and Andy are here like two ageing movie stars to talk about the latest in the world of movie news & reviews. This week in addition to the usual chat about Disney+ and Harry Styles, they also bring you book recommendations.

Our review this week is of 'Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood', the ninth film from Quentin Tarantino. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, will this film appeal to his fans or be a swing and a miss?

In a week where two popular characters get their own spin off franchise thank goodness for this podcast where we never change the cast. Andy has seen the Fast & Furious property 'Hobbs & Shaw', Alex has not. Is it the feel good action romp of the summer or will it not hit in the same way the main franchise does?
