  • Review 12: Django or: Let's Foxx trot, or Take this Waltz

    We're back once again to bring you another film review courtesy of your friendly neighbourhood Film Reviewers! This time we cast our eyes over the latest Quentin Tarantino piece and sit down in front of our mic to tell all. Who played what, what was said and what happened? There's only one way to find out! So stop reading and start listening!

    Since we haven't stated it on the show recently, a brief re-introduction to our rating system may be needed:

    A perfect film would score 0. For every little niggle we have, every scene we think is terrible, every acting choice we don't like, points are taken away at our discretion. 0, -0.1, -0.2, -0.3, -0.4, -0.5, -1, -1.5, -2, etc. We have a cap of -20, but who knows what film maybe out there to break that!

    (Edit from the future: Yes, we know this review system was needlessly complicated. Don't worry, it only took us another 60 or so episodes to fully drop it...)

  • Review(s) 11: "Beasts Of Burton"

    Hello and welcome to this, the newest episode of BlokeBusters! Inside you will find our two intrepid hosts talking about a fairly underground director by the name of Tim Burton. We're sure many of you have seen a film or two of his and we wanted to give our own insights into the man's works. This is something that we want to do every now and again, so hopefully we'll be doing this a little more often. Unless we start getting emails or the like pleading with us to stop. And even then, it'll probably need to be a few of those.From Peewee's Big Adventure to Frankenweenie, we discuss, we discourse and we take the piss. For those of you who don't know that last one, feel free to look it up on UrbanDictionary.

    (Edit from the future: Sorry, that last bit was a stupid thing to say. Basically it means making fun of, taking liberties or otherwise pulling someone's leg but usually spoken in annoyance or anger)

  • Review 10: The Hobbit or: An Unexpected Podcast

    Welcome to the first podcast of the New Year! The Gregorian calendar flips over to January once again and we start our 2013 with a review of The Hobbit. Paul and Brian both went to see it, both liked the Lord Of The Rings films, so they should like this one, right? Guess you'll have to find out by giving us a listen!

    Also starting today, we have a new feature. It's basically a way to possibly let you know of the odd film (or feature length video) that you may not have heard of. Whatever should we call this new feature? Well we've got one name, but do let us know if you've got a better one.

  • Review 9: Xmas Special or It's A Wonderful Podcast!

    Seasons Greetings to you all. Happy insert holiday of choice here and (hopefully) a wonderful New Year. We've decided to release a special podcast for the holidays (think of it as a Christmas gift, or whatever the tradition is you care to follow) wherein we give short reviews of several holiday "classics". Seen it on the TV in the last few weeks? It might end up being talked about inside. So grab a cup of hot/cold seasonal beverage and drink us in along with it.

    A massive thank you goes out to The Attery Squash, who allowed us to use their song "Santa's Laughter Mocks The Poor" in place of our usual intro/outro. For the whole song (only a few seconds longer but without our blather in the middle) feel free to find them on YouTube/MySpace/Facebook/etc.

  • Review 8: Lincoln or: George Washington In The Privy?

    Good day to you all, and thank you yet again for downloading our humble podcast! This time we figured we'd give you all a treat and review yet another new film. So we headed to the cinema, purchased a drink and some snacks and sat down to watch "Lincoln". What did we think? How did it end? What was all that Top Hat business about? We answer some of those questions (and more) during our longest podcast to date! Share And Enjoy!!!

    As usual, Spoiler Alert!! Warning! This Podcast contains spoiler material for the film "Lincoln". Do not listen if you do not want the film spoilt!

  • Review 7: Wreck-It Ralph or: Insert Coin To Start

    This time on DragonBall Z... Goku has disappeared and it's up to our 2 intrepid hosts to give their thoughts on the newest Disney movie "Wreck-It Ralph". Video Games and Cinema come crashing together into one entity, and this time it's actually not about as much fun as playing the Cyberdemon Hell level of Doom 2! To the less video-game informed people out there, that's really not that much fun at all.

    We banter, we debate and we talk about film, games and the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. Spoiler Alert, it's 42. As always, we do spoil the plot of the film, so do make sure you either see the film or don't care about it being spoilt before you insert the magical coin into your listening device.

  • Review 6: Good Morning Vietnam or: Nanu Nanu Napalm

    Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING Everyone!!!!!!!!

    Today we decided to take on a film almost as old as one of the hosts as we delve into the 1987 film Good Morning Vietnam. Listen enraptured as we go into some favourite bits from the film, Robin Williams as a whole and the odd side-tracked moment or two littered here and there. Also, as an added bonus, you get to finally discover which of us has a relative who served in the Vietnam conflict. Nail-biting suspense, I think you'll agree.

  • Review 5: Looper or: That's Levitt-tation Holmes!

    Once again we delve into the recent releases to bring you our review of the "Time-travel" film Looper. What did we think of the make-up? How did we enjoy the scenery? Find out the answer to neither of those inside. Instead we delve into the questions the film raises, and nit-pick in the way that only film lovers can. As always, spoilers are waiting for you within, so take care!

  • MiniCast #1: "It's Showtime!"

    This time it's just little ol' Paul bringing you a MiniCast about the film Beetlejuice. This time it's a very simple, by the books review. Thought you might like a little change of pace in this solo outing. We couldn't bring you our regularly scheduled podcast, so Paul sat himself down and recorded a little something just for you. That's right, no-one else gets this particular podcast. Aren't you lucky!

    A slight change to the intro/outro this time. Due to the short nature of the podcast, we decided to give you a little taste of the film being talked about as well as a possible treat for those of you who liked the cartoon growing up.

  • Review 4: "Brooks Was Here"

    In today's comedic outing, we talk about which of Mel Brooks' films is our favourite. Paul picks the one with that guy, while Brian decides he's more into that other one with the woman. Which films are they? Why are they our favourites? You'll need to listen in to find out! We do discuss the plot of both films, so we'd recommend you only listen if you have seen both of the films (which we're sure most of you have) or if you don't mind spoilers (and believe us, even if it's spoilt, you will still love watching them!).

    In case you absolutely need them, here are the times we start talking about the films:

    Paul's film: Open - 2:40 = Name and Cast list, 2:41 - 31:37 = Film Plot, Discussion and Ratings.

    Brian's film: 31:37 - 33:11 = Name and Cast List, 33:12 - 1:04:44 = Film Plot, Discussion and Ratings.

    Apologies for the tapping noise in the background from time to time, the table was not co-operating with us this time. Not to worry though, it has been flogged and should not be a problem from now on.
