In the second episode of Franchise Wars we look at a long-standing rivalry between us in a galaxy far, far away: ATTACK OF THE CLONES against THE PHANTOM MENACE and REVENGE OF THE SITH. Find out which prequels are better than others, or indeed if any of them surpass any other. There might be blood. Spoilers. (Originally recorded 12/11/19)

*This episode had to be split in two as we pressed stop instead of pause at one point. We’ll get there guys, don’t worry.

After recently watching the 1996 Paul McGann outing DOCTOR WHO: THE MOVIE, we discuss our thoughts on this fairly enjoyable, if not long-term, adventure. I mean, if you can’t call Eric Roberts hamming it up to the absolute maximum enjoyable, then what can you call enjoyable? Spoilers. (Originally recorded 12/11/19)

We premier a new series in this episode: Franchise Wars, in which we take instalments of various cinematic sagas and franchises and pit them against each other to see which (if any) comes out on top. Two films enter, one film leaves! In the inaugural first episode we look at the two greats of the sci-fi horror sub-genre, Ridley Scott’s seminal 1979 classic, ALIEN, and James Cameron’s just-as-good (maybe better? Listen and find out!) 1986 sequel, ALIENS. Spoilers for various films. (Originally recorded 4/11/19)

In another Under 10 Minutes instalment, we ponder why the latest entry in the Terminator franchise has flopped at the box office, as well as considering if the franchise itself has now grown stale, formulaic, and has outstayed its welcome. Spoilers for various films. (Originally recorded 4/11/19)

In today’s episode we look at who our favourite Batman AND Bruce Wayne actor combination is, and have a brief discussion of the whole pantheon of actors who have portrayed the Caped Crusader over the years. Spoilers for various films. (Originally recorded 29/10/19)

To wrap up our Halloween special episodes, we look at the shambling hordes and the intestine-ripping fiends we all know and love, from their appearance as we know them in the late great George A. Romero’s 1968 classic, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, all the way up to now, where they’re everywhere. We discuss their cultural relevance, their impact on our perception of culture, and how it really wouldn’t have been possible without the foresight of the aforementioned Godfather of the Undead. So barricade the doors, stock up your supplies, gather your survivors, and get out your long-planned zombie apocalypse plans (let’s be honest: we’ve all got one, right?) for the last of our spooky specials. Spoilers for various films. (Originally recorded 22/10/19)

*We did originally intend to end our Halloween specials with a vampire episode but we messed up recording on that so this is the final episode. We will re-record at a later date.

The final trailer for the last Skywalker saga film has dropped. We commentate on the trailer as we watch it (multiple times) and discuss our theories, expectations and how we think it’ll all end. Watch along with us if you like and get into the spirit (Force?) for the release of the end of an era. (Originally recorded 22/10/19)

Seeing as it’s approaching Halloween, we have a good ol’ long-winded discussion about everyone’s favourite overblown, sequel-ridden, gorefest of a decade: the 1980s! It was a time when Freddy, Jason, AND Michael were roaming the celluloid, stalking and slashing young, rather good-looking people; it was a time when horror was thought to cause a moral panic; it was a time when makeup maestros like Rick Baker, Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero were coming into their element; and, well, it was a time when we had this weird thing the kids today probably wouldn’t have a clue how to operate or describe: video. Remember that? No? We sure do. Spoilers for various films. (Originally recorded 15/10/19)

In our latest bite-size nugget, we look at the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel worst sequels to pretty decent movies. We also kind of get distracted and talk about the worst sequels in general, too. Don’t say we don’t give you extra bang for your buck. Spoilers for various films. (Originally recorded 15/10/19)
