  • Subservience SPECIAL EARLY RELEASE EPISODE

    We're so honoured to bring you this special episode courtesy of Vertigo Releasing who asked us to do an early review of their upcoming digital release Subservience starring Megan Fox (Transformers, Expend4bles) and Michele Morrone (365 Days) with a supporting turn from Madeline Zima (Californication, The Collector).


    Rory and I were very excited to see this early release which sees a father struggling to cope with his wife's declining health who purchases a robot assistant to help take care of himself and his family. However the robot soon starts taking things a bit too far...

  • The Girl Next Door
    Jamie and Rory delve into this 2004 comedy that they both missed on initial release but Jamie saw in 2022 and became temporarily obsessed with (watching it 6 times). It's a weird jumble of a film that probably shouldn't work and yet somehow does. It also has what is undeniably one of the best performances of Timothy Olyphant's career.  Hosted on Acast.

    Jamie and Rory take a look at this 2004 monster-smash epic that tried putting the Universal monsters together long before anybody dreamed up the so called "Dark Universe."

  • Titanic
    A true box office smash and for a while the reigning champion for Highest Grossing Movie Ever Made, Titanic has a split reputation amongst critics being remember fondly by some as an epic love story that pushed the abilities of cinema to new heights and by others as a somewhat generic and bloated popcorn flick. Today Jamie and Rory are joined by Kirk Redgate to take a look back at James Cameron's epic and see how it feels in 2024. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Three To Tango
    The late Matthew Perry stars in this late 90s flick alongside Scream-Queen Neve Campbell and the most reliable smug-bad-guy actor in the world Dylan McDermott. With a sitcom-esque plot revolving around a simple and easily-fixed misunderstanding, Three To Tango attempts to tread a line on an edgy subject without crossing over into offensive territory. How successfully does it achieve this goal? Does the film play better or worse now than it did back then? Tune in and find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
