July 24, 2020022 - Karate is a way of communicating
Join us for another week of laughter, tv shows, movies and all things entertainment.
This week we're talking about:
The Art of Self-Defence. A dark "comedy", and I use the word comedy lightly, starting Jessie Eisenberg & Alessandro Nivola. A movie that explores a mild mannered mans journey into the world of karate.

The Adam's Family - Starring everyone you could possible imagine... From Oscar Issac, Snoop Dogg, Charlize Theron, Bette Midler, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll and many more. It's a blast, something for the young and old alike.

American Assassin - Starring Dylan O'Brien & Michael Keaton - One of Half Measures favourite actors to play Batman.

The Foreigner starring Jackie Chan & Pierce Brosnan. It's not your usual Jackie Chan adventure, though it's something you might want to explore next time you're lurking through Netflix on a Friday night.
We've also got a tone of other tv shows, movies, news, goofs, gags and chortles to share. Come and have a listen.

Join us for another week of laughter, tv shows, movies and all things entertainment.
This week we're talking about season four of F is for Family, Charlize Theron's latest Netflix Original: The Old Guard. Paul is "coloured" impressed with the director of Ad Astra and Dan drops the ball by not making time for any new content because he's neck deep in the kiwi classic Outrageous Fortune. We also test out a new segment where we pick an actress and actor and choose our favourite movies they've started in. Honestly, we're a bag of fun. Come and have a listen. And as always, be sure to get in touch if you've got a show recommendation or feedback.
