George Miller returns to the 'Mad Max' saga with Furiosa; a prequel story surrounding the character introduced in Fury Road. This time played by Anya Taylor Joy, in brilliant fashion, we see a younger Furiosa seek revenge on the one who took it all from her.

At times, the film can leave you breathless with its epic action set pieces. It is extremely pleasant on the eye, and Miller has worked wonders to expand further on an already well developed world of his. The wastelands have never looked as good, Hemsworth is wild, and Taylor Joy brings in the ferocity within this latest thrill ride.

Released in 2001, 'Jurassic Park III' sadly didn't' reach the same heights as its predecessors. With a very troubled production, its evident that the film didn't really know what it wanted to do or say - but as a kid, I enjoyed the film nonetheless!

In this revisit, I'll be diving in to the films background, development and overall thoughts on this messy affair that saw Sam Neill's Dr Alan Grant be whisked off to Isla Sorna, where more dinosaur mayhem, plot conveniently, unfolds.

John Krasinski brings us 'IF', a beautiful story which sees a young girl make it her mission to reunite IF's with their respected children. There is so much to enjoy and love about this film; its heartwarming, emotional, funny, but deep within its core are many themes ranging from love, growing up and grief.

With a fantastic script, exceptional score (courtesy of the brilliant Michael Giacchino), stunning visual effects and brilliant actors in Cailey Fleming and Ryan Reynolds, 'IF' has certainly cemented itself as one of the films of the year.

David Leitch brings us 'The Fall Guy'; a love letter to stunt work in film. Along for the journey is Ryan Gosling, who I adore in comedic roles, and the ever brilliant Emily Blunt - both bringing their A game in a match made in heaven.

Though the overall plot isn't as good as I hoped for, it still has some fantastic action set pieces, as well as laughs for all with its meta jokes regarding the film industry. Biggest highlight though goes to Gosling and Blunt who's chemistry oozes into every scene, making it all the more entertaining.

Time to get the party hats, because its EPISODE 200!

All the waffling has led to this, and joining me on this celebratory episode are my good friends, and fellow film enthusiasts, Ben, Arun & Andrew, as we have a good ol' natter about all things cinema.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the pod since it started!

'The Phantom Menace' celebrates its 25th Anniversary; a film that defined a generation, even if it was met with mixed responses from fans and critics. Being a 90's kid, this film was everything to me growing up. Though the flaws stick out more the older, and dare I say wiser I have become, there's still some dazzling moments within this film that are up there as some of my favourite Star Wars sequences.

Alex Garland delivers with another stunner, 'Civil War'. giving audiences an up close and personal look at a nation violently divided. With some breathtaking and pulsating, and at times, anxiety inducing moments, 'Civil War' is a gripping feature that sits firmly in the best of 2024.

After years of waiting, we finally have answers - and a conclusion - to the story of Rick Grimes.. for now anyways! 'The Ones Who Live' is the epic love story between two of tv's big hitters; Rick and Michonne, as they search for eachother, and themselves, in this dark and unprecedented world.

With an increased budget and gripping storytelling, 'The Ones Who Live' breathed new life into The Walking Dead Universe, and definitely surpassed many of my expectations. However, it wasn't all plain sailing, and certainly has a few bumps I can't quite ignore.

The directorial debut from Dev Patel is, to put it simply, epic. 'Monkey Man' brings the action, grit and culture in a stomping feature that is easily one of the best of 2024. The film excels on so many levels; from the fight choreography, dazzling colours, and the performance itself from Patel is just outstanding. A film that needs to be seen on the biggest screen.

With the highly anticipated release of 'Alien: Romulus' due in August, I thought I would revisit and discuss the highly divisive 'Alien: Covenant' released in 2017 - because WHY NOT.

Ridley Scott returned again to the directors chair, however the films overall narrative and tone is a tad jarring considering it merged both the Prometheus plot along with that of being a prequel to Alien.

But in the midst of the messiness, I still had a real great time with the film. Michael Fassbender's portrayal as David was excellent in Prometheus, but even better in Covenant. The film feels darker in tone in places, and I found the themes of creation and existence extremely compelling throughout.
