The wait is over. Did someone call the Doctor?

It’s been six long years, but we finally have another Doctor Strange movie to rave about!

Following on from the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, is about to face his biggest challenge. Charged with protecting a young girl who has the power to travel to different worlds, Stephen Strange must battle with foes known and unknown in director Sam Raimi’s MCU debut. Billed as the first MCU ‘horror’ film, Doctor Strange 2, expands the MCU in ways you couldn’t imagine. Which begs the question: is it any good?

On this week’s show we talk about fact based action/drama Silverton Siege which you can find streaming on Netflix. The film focuses on a real life event known as the ‘Silverton Trio’, where three anti-apartheid freedom fighters lay siege in a bank and took 25 hostages.

Check out the show to find out more.

Over on Anniversary Corner we look back at Cry Freedom (1987).

And on Hidden Gems this week, we bring you Boiling Point (2021) starring the venerable Stephen Graham (Snatch, The Irishman, Boardwalk Empire). In it he plays ‘Andy’, head chef at an upmarket restaurant in London, on a night that slips away from him. The night in question brings it all. From smug food inspectors, tardy staff, overbookings, a tense reunion with a celebrity chef, poisoned patrons, and to top it off, his own personal issues with alcohol. This is a night no chef would want crammed into a film, which is simply unmissable.

On this week’s show we talk about horror/thriller Choose or Die which is currently streaming on Netflix. When an 80s computer game finds its way to Kayla (Iola Evans), terrible things start to happen to her, and the only way for her to survive, is to play the game till the end.

There’s a serious 80s vibe to the movie and the low budget lends itself to an atmospheric take on a well-worn story, but the question is, is it any good?

Over on Anniversary Corner we look back at Saw IV (2007).

On this week’s show we discuss Robert Eggers’s The Northman. An epic tale of love, war, murder, and betrayal set during the Viking period. Visionary director Eggers’ previous films, The Witch and The Lighthouse, have amassed a cult following and critical acclaim and so it begs the question, is The Northman any good?

Check out the show to find out!

Also out this week is Everything Everywhere All At Once, a philosophical, martial-arts, sci-fi comedy from the Daniels (Swiss Army Man). The film currently holds a 9/10 on IMDB, but what exactly do the Flixters think?

We also review horror film X, and the new Michael Bay action/thriller Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

The question is, which of the three should you watch first?
