This week we equip our wrist blades and prepare for combat, as we join Dek and Thia on an adventure in 'Predator: Badlands'. We discuss the latest film in the Alien/Predator franchise, comparing it to the rest with a draft pick, dissecting the world building and getting to the bottom of those difficult Yautja Father-Son relationships. Enjoy!

Badlands is right! The planet they visit is literally called 'The Death Planet'. Nothing quite says 'bad' like a planet known for death...even the grass is deadly. We won't be booking a trip anytime soon.

We have a special kind of episode today, as we talkabout movies in a chattier style, taking questions from our listeners and answering them live on the pod with next to no prep. We discuss the best trilogies, and speculate whether or not Dune and Spider-Verse will enter that conversation; we make some suggestions for how to save cinema and we give our Letterboxd Top Four. Plus we play a game, where Gwilym tries to guess the movie scream. We had a lot of fun recording this one and hope you have fun listening to it. Enjoy!

The episodes have been coming thick and fast recently, and it doesn't stop there. We've got you a brand new wrapped episode talking about some of the recent big releases. Two men you can't confuse 'Roofman' and 'Chainsaw Man' rocked the big screen this month, alongside The Boss Bruce Springsteen and Colin Farrell's Lord Doyle. We also discuss 'Steve', 'Gen V' and 'Mr Scorsese. Plus we have a big discussion about some of the decisions made over at Disney, and pay homage to the late great Diane Keaton. Enjoy the episode!

Chainsaw Man's next tale takes place in a Macau casino, where he has to ignore a gambling habit to defeat the final music Boss...Bruce. 'Deliver me from a Ballad of a Chainsaw Man'...coming to a cinema near you soon!

Happy Halloween one and all and welcome to an episode helping you continue the spooky festivities into November. We've got a double bill episode this week with our discussion about 'The Evil Dead' and 'Evil Dead II'. We talk all things Sam Raimi, with one of us deciding that perhaps we're not his biggest fan, and the other declaring their immense love for him. This episode splits us in half, with a heated discussion towards the end; don't fear though, the podcast is still full of love. Hear our thoughts on the horror classics and find out if we gave either of them a place on our DVD shelf.

Let it be known that if Gwilym turned into a Deadite, Ellis would not hesitate in shooting his head off. It's just too risky!

This week we go tron and tron and tron about a film that looked good but tasted off, it's the latest film in the Tron universe: 'Tron: Ares'. Yes, in a month that's seen reports of Disney turning down both Fincher and Soderbergh Star Wars projects, we've watched the film that the mouse house did decide to green light. It's an episode full of plot hole conversation, Sci-Fi movie draft picks and an unhealthy amount of references to 'Morbius'. Enjoy!

Tronsformers is inevitable isn't it. Where they're using the program to create big giant robots to fight the Transformers that have returned to art. The worrying thing is we'd be seated and ready for it, and we know it would be horrific.

This week we talkabout everyone's new favourite film: Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another'. But did we enjoy it? Did we think it deserved a place on our shortlist for films of the year? No spoilers here, but we will tell you there's plenty of chat about the performances, cinematography, story, politics and general mastery on show throughout this film. We discuss the political mirroring to today's world, rave about those rolling hills and conduct a draft pick of Leonardo DiCaprio movies. Enjoy!

Sometimes it's just one podcast after another, and on Monday morning when you expected a new episode, perhaps you thought we'd change the format. Well fear not, we just released it a day late...silly us.

This week we talkabout the latest movies, TV Shows and pieces of entertainment news. We give our thoughts on 'The Simpsons Movie 2' announcement, speculate what could be next for Martin Scorsese and pay tribute to the legendary Robert Redford. Plus we give some early thoughts on 'Marvel Zombies' and 'The Paper'. We have full reviews of Spike Lee's new joint 'Highest 2 Lowest', A Coen brother movie 'Honey Don't' and the latest Stephen King adaptation 'The Long Walk'. And unbelievably that's not all. We also have thoughts on 'Black Rabbit', 'All of You' and the newest 'Demon Slayer' movie. It's jam packed as our monthly episodes always tend to be. Enjoy!

In the Xenomorph's next trip to Earth, he lands on a start line, surrounded by young heroes from across America Mr Xeno is given no choice but to take part in the long walk. Will his feet stay in tact? Will he make it to the end? Will he just eat the other competitors? We'll have to wait and see. 'Alien: Amble'...coming to a cinema near you.

This week we talkabout a film full of fantasy, doors, awkward conversation and I guess romance...it's 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey'. We discuss just how bold and beautiful this big journey really is, deciding the relevance of lighthouses when Willem Dafoe's not hanging around, and dissecting school theatre performances. We talkabout the leading pair of Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, finding out who is best for the box office and who is best for movies in general. We also conduct a draft pick of 21st century romance movies. It's jam packed and a lot of fun, even if we are utterly confused by the messages that we assume this movie is trying to put across. Enjoy!

For any new listeners welcome to the podcast. We absolutely love movies and talking about them together. Feel free to comment below letting us know you're here. Or give us a follow on Instagram and TikTok.

This week we talkabout a legacy sequel like no other, as Spinal Tap reunite for a follow up to their 80's documentary, with Marty DiBergi back in the directing chair to follow one of England's loudest rock bands as they gear up for a reunion concert. This is 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues'. Does the film follow in the originals footsteps? Do the cameos land? What do we think of the band members and their new careers? Ultimately we decide if the sequel goes to 11, or if it is crushed under it's own Stonhengian weight. 

We for one hope the end continues again...perhaps one last tour for the band would be a hit! Elton John perhaps wouldn't show up this time round though...

This week we talkabout one of the films from the Summer; a horror that took the world by storm: 'Weapons'. As the children from a classroom in America all ran off in the dead of night, we witness a handful of characters and their involvement to the case. We talkabout the film and it's greatest scenes, we analyse the cast, ranking the five top billed stars and conduct a draft pick of 21st century horror. It's the first in a slightly new direction which focuses on newer releases more frequently. We hope you enjoy!

Let us know what upcoming releases you'd like to hear us dedicate an episode to next. Comment your suggestions below.
