In The Aisles

As Euro 2020 Fever grips the nation, we ignore its existence and instead discuss things we watched on the telly that didn't involve men kicking a ball from one side of a field to another.

James sticks up for Jeremy Clarkson's latest Amazon Prime series and shares his thoughts on BritBox's first original drama The Beast Must Die. Meanwhile, Dan ever at the forefront of the latest streaming content, discusses a seven-year-old Norwegian TV Series (Eyewitness) and a two-year-old film (Strange But True).

In Reel news, we debate the frustration of clickbait non-news stories and throw around ideas for a potential film script involving an evil Emma Thompson and her impact on a woman who can no longer drink Tea.

For our main review we visited cinemas yet again but this time it truly was worth it. Nobody is a film that everybody should see with somebody. Give this episode a listen to find out why. Hint... Because it's bloody awesome!

Daniel takes on Amazon's customer service and wins, and just to spit them we consume content everywhere but Amazon Prime Video. We cover Time (BBC), Loki (Disney+), Sweet Tooth (Netflix), and Lisey's Story (Apple TV+). Plus, Spiral - one of our most anticipated films of the summer - gets a bonus review. 

The Killing of Two Lovers is advertised as a "masterpiece" so it's this week's main review. A man discovers that his wife has a new lover and instead of living the cuckold dream, he goes down a road of despair that can only lead to violence...

UK cinemas have finally opened their doors to the viewing public so we take full advantage this week. James shows his support by attending not once but twice as he provides us with his thoughts on the long-awaited sequel A Quiet Place Part II. Then, returning to the familiar claustrophobia of his own home he also reviews Oxygen on Netflix. Dan's watchlist is strictly streaming content as he gives a final verdict on Mare of Easttown and revels in the marvel that is Bo Burnham: Inside.

Reel News features stories from both sides of the vast pond we call earth, Indiana Jones and Joker have sequels in the works but do we really need them? We also hold a non-existent minute silence in memory of a beloved British BBC drama that has recently been canceled.

Finally, for the sake of you, our listeners. We braved the uncertainty of a Post Pandemic theatre outing. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, is yet another highly anticipated franchise addition. After all the dread and horror of the last 18 months, is this finally a reason to leave the comfort of your own living room?

Dan pits the BBC against ITV in a crime drama head-to-head between The Pact and Innocent. James admires a Girl From Nowhere on Netflix, and struggles to get through Amazon Prime's latest anthology series Solos. 

In the new we dicuss the possibilities around Amazon acquiring MGM, and dissect an article that tries very hard to stay on Disney's good side while reporting on JJ Abrams' admission of the Star Wars sequel trilogy's failure.

We pull no punches in our Conflix of Interest about the latest popular topic: Should we be excited for the next phase of the MCU?

Cruella is our in-depth review and our opinions are divided on this new sympathetic origin story of the much-loved fashion icon and animal rights activist.

This latest episode marks our one year anniversary! To celebrate, we stick to the same old rigid formula and do nothing special to mark the occasion…

Instead, we discuss some of the latest content to hit streaming services and TV's across the UK. From the rise and fall of fashion icon Halston to the everyday comedic encounters of middle-class mum's in Motherland, Dan has it covered. Meanwhile, James takes a keen interest in history and gives us his thoughts on BBC's period drama The Pursuit of Love and Sky's Domina.

In Reel News, Zack Snyder can't help but make an appearance as the recent success of Justice League sparks renewed interest in a 'darker' Batman Forever Director's Cut. Plus, news is teased of an Attack the Block Sequel.

The constant mention of Zack Snyder on this very podcast (twice in this episode description) simply won’t die, much like the subjects of his latest film Army of The Dead, which we tackle for our main review. Will it be a return to form? Did he ever have form? Regardless, these are our thoughts.

This week we go global with content from Turkey (Fatma) and Spain (The Innocent). Meanwhile, James gives his preliminary thoughts on Apple TV's The Mosquito Coast and gives his final verdict on Amazon's highly praised Invincible. Back on home turf, Viewpoint and Line of Duty leave a sour taste in Dan's mouth for very different reasons.

Reel News offers some recommendation validation for one of us and it appears the recent box office success of Godzilla Vs Kong means that we have more uninspired sequels to look forward to...

Finally, In the last of our Awards Nominated Main reviews, we focus on the contender that has struck Oscar Gold. Nomadland may have wiped the floor with its competition in recent weeks but did we both fall head over heels for it?

Dan suffers bad customer service at a well-known fast food restaurant, but finds happiness in little-known rental offerings The Kid Detective and The Empty Man. James goes on a lesbian road trip with Netflix's Ride or Die, and returns to the UK with Starstuck on the BBC.

The Oscars happened. We talk about the failed attempt to honour Chadwick Boseman, which no-one actually tuned in to watch. 

Can you truly experience a film on your phone? Our Conflix of Interest discussion once again has a shocking twist. 

Promising Young Woman is a fresh, empowering revenge thriller featuring a Carey Mulligan performance for the ages. Can two toxic white males avoid causing offence, even if the review is positive? Probably not.

James is plagued by noisy neighbours yet again this week, leading him to ask the question 'Why are You Like this?' whilst coincidentally watching a Netflix show called the very same thing. The Looming Tower also features on his watchlist following a listener recommendation but will he ever follow this listeners advice again? Meanwhile, Dan shocks nobody by sticking to familiar territory as he sinks his TV teeth into British crime drama Too Close and yet another detective show from HBO, Mare of Easttown.

For Reel news, we baulk at Carrie Mulligan's latest career choice and talk about further baffling DC Universe decisions.

One might say that the pod is alive with the Sound of Metal, they would be right, as it just so happens to feature as our main review. To celebrate, we decided to list our favourite films about music, until we realised that isn't what the film is about at all...

Lockdown restrictions are beginning to ease but that doesn't stop us from consuming lots of media about race, the space race, and spacetime.

In space no one can hear you scream, but you can produce alternate history drama For All Mankind. On the BBC no one can hear you sing, because that is the premise of new reality show I Can See Your Voice. In Them on Amazon Prime, no one can escape surburban racists.

In the hope that cinemas will reopen, we list our most anticipated films of the summer. Also the BAFTAs happened, so we talked about them. 

Palm Springs is finally available in the UK. A film about repeating the same day over and over, where your actions mean nothing, limitations are a comforting excuse, and looking to the future is terrifying. Who could possibly relate to that?
