Rage Whale

Special Guests Gareth and Chris join together after seeing Deadpool recently. We discuss the movie briefly but not before James manages to take the piss out of them before they get a chance to talk. Kev asks Gareth about his first impressions and earliest memories of knowing us 3 which gives us some fun stories and a chance for James to continue making light of every conversation. Gareth gives us a reenactment of his experience at a 4DX cinema and Chris tells of his love of the original animated Transformers movie all while drinking Pina Colada and wearing a t-shirt with an Arse Penguin on it. Then we hand over to Gareth to take control and ask us about movies we love from each decade from the 80s onwards where we find out Drew is the opposite of Rain Man because he keeps mentioning movies from the incorrect decade.

We have some Show & Tell before we have an exhilarating chat about Fonts. We mention a 70s Clint Eastwood movie and how ridiculous the plot is which takes us on a journey of guessing ages and dates and finding out James may be a real life Rain Man when he nails too many dates in a row to be a coincidence. We have feedback played live on the show from Kate (Guest from Episode 44) which is powerful and very meaningful to us and we appreciate her massively. We then have an audience question played live from Emma (Guest from Episode 48) that we enjoyed answering about movies.

We talk everything about Deadpool & Wolverine which we all saw on opening weekend but we decided to release this 2 weeks later so everyone had a chance to see this epic anti-hero movie. We discussed all the surprises, the jokes, the cameos (which are not cameos but actual characters that serve the plot) and we decided to go and see it at the cinema for a second time. It was that good. This movie is a dream for fans of this universe, and can be enjoyed by any comedy fan or action fan, this has it all. Sit back, relax and listen to us go into it with fresh excitement.

We all saw the fun elements and the controversial parts of the Olympics opening Ceremony in France and Kev is wearing a band T-shirt and playing a vinyl of the highlight for him that seemed to bypass everyone else. The French metal band Gojira did an outstanding job. We somehow take an hour to get fully onto the subject of movies as this topic brings us onto other controversial subjects, crime and violence in the world and we can't help ourselves by stating our opinions. Just a reminder that these are our (often un researched in detail) thoughts on the subjects. We end with James telling us of some good and terrible films he saw recently and the big news of the week regarding Dr Doom and other Marvel news. We also discuss exciting New Trailers, The Boys and something frustrating about Cobra Kai.

The second part of our conversation with Emma where she turns the tables on us and asks us why we started the Podcast and rather than the usual flippant comment we actually discuss the benefits and how it's been a positive in our lives. We forget Emma is our guest and act like she is a therapist and we have to tell her about our thoughts and we want to show willingness to be truthful. The Podcast wouldn't exist if Emma didn't as she was the initial spark and catalyst into making this happen, so she is an important element of this project and we hope to have her back again soon. We hope you enjoy our openness and the frank discussions which is not the usual style of the show. We are nervous and excited to release this episode.

This is a special episode today as our guest Emma is interested in psychology, therapy, philosophy and social media/marketing which gives today a new vibe. With her subtle expertise she gets all 3 of us to open up about things we wouldn't have normally mentioned and makes us comfortable to be vulnerable and share some interesting stories. Some deep conversations but always with our trademark levity at times. Kev met up with Emma recently and she convinced him to go to the cinema to see Inside Out 2 which has hidden messages for the viewer that are actually PHD level therapy explained to younger viewers. This was an enjoyable time spent with the fun yet calming influence of our guest.

This episode sucks, quite literally as Kev and James explain the ways they used a hoover today, exciting stuff eh? We start talking about toys and decent into memories of Woolworths and Argos where Drew worked as a teenager, he was privileged to have seen the mystical Argos warehouse, apparently it doesn't resemble Santas Grotto as we all expected when we were children. The cinematic summer blockbuster is here, but is it any good? Twisters impressed all around, even Tom Cruise is a massive fan. We end discussing corruption and The Beatles make a short appearance, can you name the album before these guys?

We get a nice little 'Random Fact' from Drew to start with as we discuss that 'The Batman' has just been released for Free on Prime. We discuss the many new trailers that have dropped in the past week such as Gladiator 2, Paddington, Agatha, The Substance, Strange Darling and we argue over if Steve Rogers in Captain America is Dead or not and apparently The Red Hulk being Harrison Ford is news to Drew. We also talk about the rumour of new films coming soon or that are about to start filming such as The Devil Wears Prada 2, If Follows 2 and Mission Impossible 8.

Then, there is a nice little interlude. We end with James dropping off early which leaves Kev and Drew slightly tipsy being silly discussing Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Matthew McConaughey and Herbert the Pervert. We end on a lovely note with an audience question from Dani.

Lots has happened this week including the Euro finals, an attempted assassination of Trump (This is Ep 45 and Trump was the 45th President... coincidence much!), a new Eminem album and 3 of the most talked about Horror Movies of the year released in the cinema. We discuss MaXXXine, Long Legs and In A Violent Nature finally. Kev has seen them all but they weren't all in every cinema across the UK which was a disappointment for James and Drew. Some of us praise the independent filmmakers and companies such as a24 and NEON for pushing boundaries and giving movie goers unique, fresh and brave movie concepts (even if they don't always succeed at the box office) as opposed to the big companies mainly feeding us sequels and safe content.

The second part of our conversation with Kate. We had some technical difficulties but our podcast platform helped to recover it thankfully as Kate manages to bring our random chat back to the topics of movies after we discuss the chaos of our youth together. We discuss our favourite decades of filmmaking, top 3 directors and go into detail on them. Kate then gets distracted by a huge spider in her room that we name Keith.
