Yesterday Disney had a proper important money meeting with proper important money people and discussed/revealed a heap of future Disney, Disney+, Marvel and Star Wars projects.

In this episode we watch trailers, react, and talk about what was said.  

It's a biggie people.  Strap in for a LOT of stupidity, theories and fan girl-ing!!.

JACKIE CHAN ACTING!!.  I mean proper acting.

OR

Jackie Chan vs Bond!!

Really - either of those tag lines can sell this movie.

This movie is worth watching JUST to see how good an actor Jackie Chan is.  Not to disparage his movie career.  Obviously he does act, but this is something better.

Listen and Enjoy!

While scrolling through Youtube one day I saw a video called "Ghosts of War - the ending explained!!".  That piqued my interest, because I knew about the film, but after the October horror binge I went on, I really didn't fancy another 'scary movie'.

This, however, is an un-ashamedly B-movie, World War Two,  haunted house film, with a particularly smart twist at the end, so it was in for a viewing.  Soldiers go in, jump scares abound, but its the 'why' that's really good.

Listen in and enjoy.

This movie turned up out of nowhere.  Having seen a trailer a while back, I decided we should watch this.

What did we think?  Was Ice Cube in Anaconda?  Why wasn't Danny Trejo in this?  How did we get onto Zombie boobs?

We're all over the place here people, a bit like Joel.

Ahh yes.  The epic Tom Cruise film that's just not epic and suffers from having Tom Cruise in it!!.  If we're honest - it's just Kickboxer with swords and armour!!

Wondering what I'm on about.  Listen in to find out.

This story follows a group of Israeli Mossad officers as they try to capture, and extract, Adolf Eichmann in 1960.  This was a story I was not aware of, but it's a really interesting story.

Yes there are a few niggles, and its based 'on a true story', so its mostly true...but it is mostly good.

Listen and Enjoy.

I read the book.  We all watched the film.  We did a podcast.  Eldest daughter read the book.  I read the sequel.  We re-recorded the podcast.

Here it is.  Our dive into the Oasis, the compare and contrast of book vs film.

Enjoy!!

The best, most quotable, most amazing comedy film EVER.....FINALLY, through foul means, I managed to get Nieve to watch this with me.

I love it.  I still love it.  I hurt myself laughing so much.  But is it still the best thing evah!!  Does Shirly still cut the mustard?. Is that Kareem Abdul-Jabaar? And is it actually a re-make of an older film?.

Listen in and find out....and don't call me Shirly.

I LOVE this film.  This it the pinnacle in psychological horror.  There's only one death, but there's so much tension and fear and its just utterly brilliant.

Today the Girls and I sat down to watch it, and I was not disappointed.  I love editing and re-listening to their reactions as much as I enjoyed re-watching the film itself.  

While it's truly a classic, my worry is that younger audiences will never see this film unless they have a reason to seek it out.  In an age of indistinguishable special effects, mega budgets and blockbuster superhero action movies, classic films are less 'thrilling', less interesting, and just plain old.....but they are far better then people realise.

This film now has a special place in my heart....for a completely different reason.

Spike Lee's movie about 5 black Vietnam vets, returning to Vietnam to find the body of their Platoon leader, is not without flaws, but its a good movie.  

Certainly its time that there was a film about Black soldiers in Vietnam, but this addresses not just the effect of the war on these characters, but interestingly, how it affected the Vietnamese as well.

Worth a watch?
