The Last King Podcast

Happy Chinese New year, as we welcome in the year of the dog. However here at the Last King we feel It's more like the year of the panther! Marvel's "Black Panther" that is, arriving in cinemas worldwide and closing off the MCU's third phase.

But before we discuss the eighteenth entry in the Marvel franchise, we talk about the film, Ladybird. A film by mumblecore darling "Greta Gerwig" in her directorial debut. Featuring "Saoirse Ronan" in her Oscar nominated performance as the titular character. So tune in now to find out our thoughts on these two very different types of films.

It's the day(s) right after Valentines Day, and what better way to enjoy your post coitus cuddle, than to listen to your friends at the last king podcast. It's an all movie episode, starting with "Cloverfield Paradox", a film literally nobody saw coming until the Superbowl. Why does J.J Abrams still try to push this brand?

And in the main segment, it's a double feature of" I Tonya" and "The Shape of Water". Both films featuring strong female leads, with Margot Robie and Sally Hawkins both contesting for the Best Actress Academy Award . Which actress did we find do the more compelling performance? Well tune in to find out!

In celebration of the recent anniversary of the original O.G princess animated film "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs". We decided to revisit the entire category of the Disney princess films. Including possible new additions in light of the newly acquired FOX animated film library. So from the classic fairy tales of old to the modern CG output of the current generation. Sit back, slip on you comfy glass slippers and enjoy our prettiest episode yet. And as always #nobeastiality

It's over Nine-Thousand! In this episode we talk videogames and movies, starting with the recently released "Dragon Ball Fighter Z" and "Monster Hunter World." Two hotly anticipated games to kick of the new year. And in our films segment we discuss Ridley Scott's "All the Money in the World" and a film that's finally arrived here in Singapore, "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri." Tune in to hear what we think now.

It's our second episode of 2018, and it looks like nothing's coming out anytime soon. So let's continue the recap of last year with a Netflix show, one we feel needs a bit more attention. We're talking about "Glow" a.k.a The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. From the folks who gave us Orange is the New Black. A lighthearted tale of people chasing their dreams amidst the chaos of professional wrestling in the 80's.

Then in our main segment we review "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" or what we call the feel bad film of the year. Yorgos Lanthimos directs Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell in quite possibly the most heart-breaking and equally most bizarre films we've seen. With amazing performances from both leads as well as it's supporting cast, listen in now and hear whey we think this ranks as one of the best films of 2017.

Back from our much deserved holiday break with a brand new episode for a brand new year. The boys fire up the podcast station, and do a little bit of catch up from last year.

In videogames we bring up "Yakuza Zero", the prequel to Japan's answer to the GTA series. In films we mention the "Jumanji" reboot and the indie flick "Ghost Story" starring Casey Affleck. And we throw some shade on the Netflix original "Bright" and speaking of Netflix.

We review the much anticiapted fourth season to "Black Mirror". Does it top the amazing Season 3 or will it finally crack under the pressure? #lastkingpodcast #mirrormirror

Tis the season to be porgy! Hello Last King fans, the boys are taking a break and will be away for the holiday season. But not before delivering one more episode before locking up the Last King studios. In the first segment we go over the non pop culture stuff that we felt fit to talk about. And in the main segment we choose our own personal favorite moments of 2017 before we forge on into 2018. Happy Holidays to everyone and see you again in mid January.

In a special Death Star sized podcast, we give our thoughts on "The Last Jedi". Twice in fact! Or more accurately, once as a spoiler free review then again in our spoiler heavy ramble style. Does the new movie finally expand the universe, or is it another retread of empire? You know we have the answers and the droids you're looking for. But first we have to recap all the adventures in a galaxy far away one more time. So sit back, relax and let us take you through hyperspace in a special all Star Wars double episode.

Hello Last King fans a new episode! It's approaching the year end and we feel the need to wrap up the show with one final game review with XenoBlade Chronicles 2. Also in the main segment it's all about the 2017 Video Game Awards. We feel the need to address some things. With the controversy of Player Unknown Battlegrounds getting nominated for game of the year, to all the announcements and reveals.

Who you trying to get crazy with, Ese? Don't You Know we're loco? Loco for new releases that is! And this week we get derailed rather easily with the Kenneth Branagh vehicle "Murder on the Orient Express". A star studded ensemble comes together to retell one of Agatha Christie's most famous works. Does it live up to previous attempts or does it go off the tracks? But before that we paint our faces and step into the land of the dead, Disney/Pixars "Coco" gets the last king treatment and safe to say it delivers all the feels.
