When it hasn't been your day, week, or even your 28 years *clap clap clap*. This week we're talking about 28 Years Later. We talk about the return of Boyle and Garland, movies that switch tones midway, and potential themes framed as a question.

No it's not Groundhog day, this week we're talking again about How To Train Your Dragon but this time it's the 2025 live action (ish) version. We talk about what the point of this type of re-make is, losing comedy but gaining drama, Gerard Butler still being in top form, and how othering it is to point at people.

This week we're talking about the original (no not the book you've gone back too far if you're thinking about the book), it's the 2010 FULLY animated, no flesh actors, How To Train Your Dragon. We talk about if Dragons understand what's happening, bad bangs, the tragedy of this father/son relationship, and what may be Gerard Butler's greatest acting performance.

This week we're joined by guest Kyah Green (host of The Fandom Show) to talk about the shocking (if you didn't play the game) second season of The Last Of Us. We get into games vs TV, character likeability, Ellie's competency, and splitting the season for reasons.

This week we're talking about Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning. There's a lot to unpack here and it ain't all pretty so bear with us. We talk about the problem with being absurd and self serious, the franchise's inability to make a new leader, and not understanding the difference between what's cool to do and what's cool to watch.

This week we're getting into the entire second season of Andor. We talk about the differences between destroying and building, the successes and failures of being a cog, putting people in the Disney de-aging machine, and the meaning of legacy.

Time to go back to where it all began... in film form because it's based on a 60's tv show... it's Mission Impossible (1996). We talk about how Tom Cruise looks like a baby here, the excitement of action set pieces with no gun fights, the film's reception then vs now, and how it's time to let directors have fun with Mission Impossible again.

You can take the Hell out of the Kitchen but you can't take the Devil out of the Matt. You know what we mean. This week we're talking about season one of Daredevil: Born Again.
