On this 150TH EPISODE special, I'm joined by my good friend Arun, as we journey to a galaxy far far away, and discuss one of, if not THE greatest trilogies in film history; Star Wars. George Lucas changed the face of cinema when the original dropped in 1977, and what has followed has been nothing short of remarkable. Star Wars has become a huge staple in the pop culture world that continues to grow and grow to this day. With that, catch all our thoughts as we discuss (and gush over) this epic trilogy.

Having blown audiences away in 2018 with ‘Into The Spider-Verse’, Miles returns with a whole bunch of new Spidey’s in the jaw dropping and dazzling sequel; ‘Across The Spider-Verse’. The film is visually stunning, and has again pushed the boundaries with its animation. The sequel is bigger, grander, darker, and frankly, better than the first and will once again take audiences breath away with its outstanding story, in addition to some gorgeous and astonishing visuals.

After quite some time, we have finally been treated with some new Spider-Man 2 footage! Due for release later this year, and exclusively to PS5, this is my most anticipated game of 2023 - having been such a big fan of the first couple of games Insomniac have dropped. So as a first for the pod, I’m diving into the gaming world to discuss and give my thoughts on this fantastic game play footage.

Rounding up the Monsterverse revisits with this episode, as we discuss 'Godzilla vs Kong'. After a few delays, the film dropped in 2021 directed by Adam Wingard - and it did SO well at the box office. It seemed the perfect film for cinemas at that time, having not long reopened following the pandemic.

With a tonne of gorgeous colour and epic action, as too excellent cinematography from Ben Seresin, the film really is a fun watch and a great time seeing these two heavyweights battle out for the first time since the 1962 original.

Released in March 2017, 'Kong: Skull Island' was a surprise hit - and another great piece in laying the foundation for Legendary’s successful Monsterverse. With some gorgeous visuals and cinematography, as well as excellent monster action and performances from its leads, the film pleased fans and critics alike; not only having success at the box office, but also receiving an Oscar nomination for best Visual Effects.

Catch my full spoiler thoughts in this revisit, as we cover it all from the films announcement and buzz at 2014’s Comic Con, to its overall release and reaction.

The Guardians are back on the big screen for a final outing and mission together. Helmed once again by James Gunn, who brings all the beats that you would expect from a Gunn film and from this dysfunctional team/family. Though the film does have dips and flaws, it certainly is the best Marvel film in the last couple of years. Joined on this episode by my good friend Ben M to talk all things Guardians and MCU.

Picking up where Part One finished on our revisit, myself and my good friend Nat go over the epic final battle for Middle Earth, as well as the emotional goodbye and send off to this wonderful trilogy.

Just like Frodo and Sam’s story, it has taken us a very long time to get to the final stage of the journey! But I am once again joined by my good friend Nathaniel McCartney Williams on this episode, as we discuss the final instalment of the epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy; ‘The Return of the King’.

Because we are big nerds, and there is a LOT to dissect, this revisit is split into two!

The 'Evil Dead' franchise returns to the big screen with the latest installment 'Evil Dead Rise', directed and written by Lee Cronin - and good heavens was this an experience in the cinema!

With some fantastic nods to the original, and its creator Sam Raimi's style of filming, on top of a menacing script and brilliant performances from its leads Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan, 'Evil Dead Rise' is certainly winning over fans and critics and going fairly high in my series' overall ranking. Its gnarly, its fun, its Evil Dead, right?

Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage star in this latest release from Chris McKay; 'Renfield’. Being the Count’s familiar, Renfield is manipulated and controlled leading Renfield to breaking point and wanting out of this toxic relationship – cue the laughter and body count, as the film has a good chunk of both!

Penned by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), the film does have that comic book feel within this world, as well the editing and action (and blood) that the film showcases. The performances from the 2 leads are of course brilliant, and the film overall is a good laugh – even though the subplots within this release are quite underwhelming.
