The High Ground

Mando watch continues! This week's episode cannot be put into words. That is all we will say. Is the suspense killing you all? Watch the episode and listen to our review and you'll understand why. Spoilers.

We revisit our old friend, the Under 10 Minutes show, and discuss our thoughts on Disney's live action adaptation of MULAN. The first casualty of COVID from Disney's live action catalogue, MULAN's distribution on Disney + has maybe set a precedent for the other studios to follow. In our show we simply compare this version with the original 1998 animated version. Spoilers for various films.

Okay this is a big one. Both seemingly the "worst" of their respective series: GHOSTBUSTERS II the worst of the original cast's contribution, and GHOSTBUSTERS (2016) the...well, worst in general. Are they truly as bad as people claim? Or are they due reappraisal? We shall see...Spoilers for various films.

This week's Mando Watch focuses on Chapter 13: The Jedi. The live action debut of one of the best STAR WARS characters in a long time as well as a great cameo by an amazing 80s actor make this episode another great one. Spoilers. 

Once again, we lose another great pop culture icon. This time another from the STAR WARS family. What is there that can be said that already hasn't been said about the great figure of Darth Vader? We discuss the life and work of David Prowse and why he ranks as so iconic in the pantheon of perfect movie villains, and characters in general. Spoilers for various films.

In this second and final instalment of our DIE HARD vs LETHAL WEAPON series, we examine, compare and contrast the sequels of each respective franchise. Will McClane end up on top, or Riggs and Murtaugh? Whose villains are top-notch? And which police department will you root for: LAPD or NYPD? The debate ends now... Spoilers for various films.

We continue our weekly Mando watch with our discussion of Chapter 12: The Siege. Spoilers.

Since it is leading up to the season of good cheer, we thought it would be appropriate to dig up the age-old philosophical quandary of moviedom: which Christmas actioner is the best? Mr. McClane's antics in the Nakatomi Plaza, or the barely sane Martin Riggs and his unswervably loyal partner Roger Murtaugh's outings in downtown LA? It'll be a tough one. Spoilers for various films.

We look at the third episode of the somehow-keeps-getting-better Disney + Series, The Mandalorian. There's sea-faring, Imperials and some cool cameos. This is the way. Spoilers.

We continue our Quentin Tarantino retrospective series by looking at his fourth (and fifth, although we will debate about the status of that...) effort, KILL BILL. We've combined both volumes into one episode to make for smoother comparison and commentary. And also so we don't have to admit that he only has one film left! So join us on a journey of 70s pastiche, kung-fu, samurai swords, Bruce Lee-inspired outfits and revenge as we enter the world of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Wiggle your big toe. Spoilers for various films.
