In The Aisles episodes

  • Episode 106 - Three Thousand Years of Longing

    We discuss shopping etiquette with your partner, and Dan reveals his very specific bathing requirements. 

    A mostly positive watchlist features Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Devil in Ohio, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Welcome to Wrexham, and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

    Reel News covers the two hottest topics in "the biz" - Harry Styles' spit and the new Cloverfield Sequel.

    Three Thousand Years of Longing is a box office flop and reviews are mixed. We let the genie out of the bottle and took a look for ourselves, then wished we hadn't.

  • Episode 105 - Top Gun: Maverick

    This week we dig into the latest that streaming services have to offer, alongside some that have flown under the radar. James reviews Under the Banner of Heaven and The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power. Meanwhile Dan gives his thoughts on The Resort and Fall, a film that will likely not draw a box office crowd, but does it deserve to?

    Reel News focuses in on the recent purge of negative reviews for Amazon's most expensive show of all time and we give credence to the rumour that Taika Waititi may not be retuning for another Thor instalment. 

    For our main review, in the absence of anything worth our time, we resort to a film that's been out for months but still shows no signs of running out of fuel. Tom Cruise is back in the cockpit for Top Gun: Maverick.

  • Episode 104 - Nope

    The boys try to have the most boring conversation ever about Netflix audio levels. Dan praises Predator prequel Prey, and recommends Apple TV's Five Days at Memorial. James reviews Red Rose, From and She-Hulk. 

    In Reel News, it's good news for House of the Dragon but Cineworld and The Caped Crusader are in trouble.

    Jordan Peele's latest Neo-western sci-fi horror Nope is the main review.

  • Episode 103 - Bullet Train

    In this public transport themed special we choo choose to talk about a wide range of content. The first stop is 'What we've been watching' which includes Colin Farrell and Viggo Mortensen's attempt to rescue Thirteen Lives and Alex Garland's polarising horror film Men. Meanwhile on an alternative platform James discusses his underwhelming reception to The Sandman but finds joy in the Alicia Vikander's Irma Vep.

     

    Next, we veer off track and pull into the Reel News station to breakdown Warner Bros' cancellation of the film nobody knew existed, Batgirl. And, as we approach the end of the line, we maintain full steam ahead for this weeks main review, Brad Pitt's latest action film, Bullet Train. Is it worth purchasing a ticket for the ride? You'll have to climb aboard to find out....

  • Episode 102 - Brian and Charles

    With the UK heatwave a distant melting memory, attentions turns to the last sizzling hot content. Including: The Gray Man, Norm Macdonald: Nothing Special, Bosch: Legacy, Black Bird, and sleeper hit horror film The Black Phone.

    A long - some might say rambling - edition of Reel News focuses on the supposed decline of Netflix and their looming content crisis.

    Everyone has felt lonely at some point in their lives. Eating lunch by yourself, joining an empty Call of Duty lobby, we've all been there. But have you ever been so isolated that you built a robot using a washing machine and a mannequin head? That is the story of Brian and Charles, a lovely British comedy with a heart of silicon.

  • Episode 101 - Thor: Love and Thunder

    As record breaking temperatures continue to sweep the UK, we head on indoors to escape the sunshine rays and instead soak up the glorious world of film and TV. James has a plethora of content this week, from the stop motion spectacular Mad God through to a cinematic indictment of the adult entertainment industry with Pleasure. Then its over to Paramount+ as Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe

     

    Meanwhile Dan wears his Big Boys pants to review Channel 4's Big Boys... and also gives his thoughts on Netflix's Girl in The Picture. Then to round of our watchlist we deliver our final thoughts on Stranger Things and The Boys which have just wrapped up their respective seasons.

     

    Reel News is very Marvel centric and only serves as a way to build up to our main review. This week its the film that everybody has a varying opinion on, its Thor: Love and Thunder. Is it worth a trip out to your local cinema or is this just more proof that phase 4 of the MCU has become a bit lacklustre.

  • Episode 100 - Jurassic World: Dominion

    We celebrate reaching 100 episodes by botching the intro but then delivering high quality comments on a wide range of media including; We Own This City, Sherwood, The Midwich Cuckoos, Stranger Things, and The Boys.

    In Reel News, we react to the early reactions to Thor: Love and Thunder, and react with both confusion and anticipation to news of the Joker sequel being a musical starring Lady Gaga. 

    Jurassic World: Dominion is upon us and as a great character in a classic film once said, "That is one big pile of sh*t."

  • Episode 99 - Everything Everywhere All at Once

    The Platinum Jubilee may be a distant memory for most but that doesn't stop us from recounting our 'Platy Jubes' experiences before James takes us on a deep dive into Disney Plus's Obi-Wan Kenobi, not to mention a final take on the hidden gem that is Outer Range. Dan, resorts to revisiting his youth with Cape Wrath aka Meadowlands and then give a preliminary review on The Boys Season 3.

     

    Reel News ignores any concerns around Tom Cruise's problematic religious beliefs and instead focuses in on the box office behemoth that is Top Gun: Maverick alongside signposting some valuable Reality TV resources

     

    For our final review, we deliver you a timely review of a film you will most likely struggle to see, its Everything, Everywhere all at once. It may not be instantly available but dont let that dampen your cinematic appetite, it may well be worth the wait...

  • Episode 98 - Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

    As the world lurches from one crisis to another, content is now more important than ever. James steamrolls through The Lincoln Lawyer, The Essex Serpent, Conversations with Friends and Chivalry. Dan reviews Shining Girls and Outer Range. 

    Plus, a vintage review of Road to Perdition reveals one of the most shocking Glow Ups of all time, and Guess That Film makes a welcome return.

    $700 million can't be wrong, the MCU is still alive. But can Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness pull this podcast out of its superhero fatigue?

  • Episode 97 - The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

    This episode arrives to you later than expected courtesy of an idiotic admin error... Regardless, its still brimming with predictable content such as the obligatory watchlist that consists of a half naked Alexander Skarsgard in The Northman, Netflix Anime Bubble and further streaming choices sure to dampen any party-like atmosphere. Namely, HBO's The Staircase and the final season of Ozark .

     

    In Reel News we cover off a range of topics that the world has swiftly moved on from, including the 'soon to be made in to a film' Amber Heard & Johnny Depp Trial, a disruptive turn of events in the latest entry into the Fast and Furious franchise and a ringing endorsement that Cinemas are not yet dead.

     

    It would appear that talent is just about everywhere you look. This podcast is testament to that... But will these two podcasts hosts buckle under The Weight of Unbearable Talent. Nicholas Cage's latest leading man entry features as this weeks main review.
