Dinosaur Man

We revive a long dormant format for this Shocktober episode, Alex takes a look at the career of film maker James Wan. Assessing and understanding his influence over the genre and modern landscape of horror films, from his breakthrough feature 'Saw' right up to recent efforts such as 'Malignant'. We take time to celebrate this titan of modern horror and truly appreciate the work he has done in bringing the genre back to the limelight. 

Spooky, scary skeletons send shivers down you pod!

In this episode Andy and Alex take it in turns to tell spooky stories to each other. Alex focuses on the latest spooky news while Andy just reads Reddit.

Will these terrifying tales turn you white with fear? Is garlic really the worst taste? What really happened in Alex's basement?

In a stunning move which no one predicted, Shocktober returns to the podcast for another triumphant installment. 

We kick things off with an old favourite format, Andy choosing his own adventure as laid out by Alex. This year, in celebration of the recent release of John Kramer's continuing escapades in Saw X, Andy finds himself thrust into a dirty bathroom to play a game with Billy the puppet. 

Does Andy make it out alive? Does he learn his lesson? Does Billy's tricycle still squeak?

Another fortnight passes and another episode of News & Reviews arrives, yet again we see a bumper week of new and less new releases. 

Andy has seen the latest DC offering ‘Blue Beetle’ and passes his judgment while considering superhero fatigue. 

Meanwhile, Alex brings reviews of Celine Song’s excellent debut ‘Past Lives’, Pablo Larrain’s reimagined Pinochet in ‘El Conde’, Disney+ sci fi ‘No One Will Save You’ and Canadian drama ‘Brother’. 

In the conclusion of our most insane theme month we've both watched 4 Shreks and 2 Puss In Boots films, we discuss the ups and downs, struggle to remember which Shrek is which and wax lyrical about a spin off series. If anyone ever makes us do this again, we'll stop the show. 

We interrupt Shrektember programming to bring you a hot and fresh edition of News & Reviews where we discuss a multitude of recent film and tv shows. 

Alex has seen British comedy-drama 'Scrapper', featuring a stand out performance by Lola Campbell. He also covers new documentary 'Once Upon A Time In Uganda', a brilliant and reaffirming love letter to movie making for entertainment. Andy covers more big budget affairs in animation 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' & big shark action sequel 'Meg 2: The Trench'

Well it's finally here, the long awaited and very cool Shrektember! 

This week we're kicking off this month long celebration of all things Shrek by discussing...all things Shrek! Andy gives a potted history of the evolution of Shrek, from book to worldwide cultural phenomenon which has spawned musicals, lunchboxes and Twinkies. 

We have a wonderful month planned, so stick around for more Shrek based nonsense!

Sandwiched in between two of our best episodes ever, this instalment of News & Reviews covers off some classic Dinosaur Man genres. 

We have Alex talking about 'Haunted Mansion' but not the one you'd expect, Andy watching Netflix actioner 'Heart Of Stone', powerful sex work documentary 'Kokomo City', a Shudder original in the form of 'Bad Things' and finally psychological thriller 'Alice, Darling'.

And so, it has come to this. Finally we've listened to your feedback and recorded the most requested episode of all time. 

Alex grills Andy on his life living gluten free, the restrictions and the discoveries that have along with it. We discuss the world's best biscuits, the problem of bread and which pizza chain has the best Gluten Free offerings as standard.

This. Is. Podcasting.

With another crop of hot and fresh releases, you know that means we're coming up with another News & Reviews episode. 

This week we're covering blockbusters and microbudgets alike, we have global sensation 'Barbie', much vaunted horror 'Talk To Me', powerful refugee documentary 'On Our Doorstep', Brazilian fantasy horror 'Medusa' & low key Serbian folk horror 'Vampir'.
