July 22, 2022 S1M0NE
We're back, we've survived the heat, and we're here to continue Accidental Andrew Niccol Season with S1M0NE! Join us as we discuss deepfakes, the future of cinema, how much of this film is intentional, we pitch loads of different endings and Gun Machine is born. And there's even time for a quiz!
Here's the article about the increasingly backward facing state of Hollywood and music that Sam vaguely references.

Next week, Accidental Andrew Niccol Season concludes with (Peter Weir's) The Truman Show!

July 08, 2022 In Time
This week, we watch we kick off our accidental Andrew Niccol season with In Time, a film with a premise so stupid that Chris' brain momentarily breaks, any attempt at a plot breakdown descends into time related madness, and Alex gradually realises this film is not as good as he maybe thought because he's written another hour of material in his own head. Also, Chris has plans for a dark harem, Alex goes mad and throws his mic, and Sam really wants to know where time comes from. It's a wild episode.
Next week, S1M0N3!

July 01, 2022 Next (2007)
We return after an unexpected hiatus with Next, in which Nicolas Cage plays himself, or maybe a clairvoyant magician who seems to share a lot of interests with Mr. Cage. Join us as we try and work out if this film actually has a villain, discuss the worst FBI agent in the history of cinema, and try and work out what on earth this film's gimmick actually is supposed to be.
Next week we watch we kick off accidental Andrew Niccol season with In Time

June 18, 2022 Robocop 2
"Maximum thrash."
(apologies if you've got this episode twice, something went haywire on the backend!)
This week we celebrate the 32nd anniversary (weird) of Robocop 2. The first film has been in the top 10 since all the way back on episode 22, can the sequel fare as well? Join us as we discuss why you might bankrupt a city, animatronics, wrestling tie-ins , days of the month beef, and much more!
Next week, Next, next.

June 10, 2022 Star Trek: Nemesis
This week we reach the tenth and final proper (yeah, I said it) Star Trek film, Star Trek: Nemesis. As is often the case with Trek, it's a bumper episode. Klingon psychological warfare, the worst baddie in history, the problem with Riker's back, lots of griping about Data, and lots, lots more!
And if this wasn't enough, we also get into a bit of Obi-Wan Kenobi chat!
Next week, the big hitters keep coming: It's Robocop 2!

June 03, 2022 Outland
This week Sean Connery is sent to Io to sort out a corrupt mining colony, armed with a shotgun and in a bit of a mood. Also, we bring you the only comprehensive breakdown of the music in the club scenes in this film available anywhere on the internet. I think.
Next week, we take our annual trek to the stars with Star Trek: Nemesis

May 26, 2022 The Great Wall
"Chinese Woman Stares at Matt Damon: The Movie"
This week, America and China throw a load of money at a JOINT VENTURE and end up with The Great Wall, a blockbuster action film with, er, Matt Damon as the lead. Matt Damon, seriously? We discuss the history of clapping, foxes, Alex has a quiz, Chris lets us know how much he likes chopping, and: Matt Damon, George Clooney, Pig?
Oh, and here's a bonus fox fact check.
Next week, Sean Connery and a shotgun in Outland!

May 19, 2022 Monster Trucks
"Big Frack's got involved."
This week we watch a film in which a hyperintelligent black blob is stuffed into a suspiciously old-looking child's monster truck. Also, Chris gives us a science lesson about the lack of wheels in nature, Sam has a problem with quip timing in films in general, and Alex just wants to have fun. Also, Sam drops a late twist and the faint sound of "chim chimney" can be heard in the distance as the pod descends into bureaucratic chaos.

May 12, 2022 Vanilla Sky
"Cirque de Horny"
This week we're back to our full complement as Chris returns from the razzle dazzle of filmmaking to join us for a thorough look at Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky! As well as working through the plot, we have time to discuss Alex's trip to Legoland, the new Avatar 2 trailer, lucid dreaming, alternate endings, an much, much more!
Next week we are watching some trucks that have monsters in them, but they aren't just monster trucks, they're Monster Trucks!

April 28, 2022 Cowboy Bebop
Chris is still away on location so Alex and Sam soldier on for a second DUO REVIEWO. This time, it's Alex's birthday pick, Cowboy Bebop, the film of the anime of the manga of the same name. Join us as we discuss the perils of adapting TV shows for film, which other films this film really really rips off, and get whistful for our missing co-host, especially when neither of us know how to pronounce a big word.
Next week... sorry, we still don't really know, but hopefully we will back to our full complement!
