The Redeemables

Let's face it, if you listen to The Redeemables then you probably disagree with the majority of the Academy Award nominees and winners so we made our own awards show celebrating the best films and performances of 2024 and we asked you, the listeners, to vote. This episode we read out all the winners and it's hosted by the best in the business - BJ! Thanks for voting and thanks for listening!

We are doing something different for this mini - we are each listing the top five movies we are excited about coming out in 2025.

But first we have a Blockbuster Quiz to navigate - join us and play along.

This episode we cover off Michael Bay’s lowest ever BoxOffice ranked film – 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi. We talk mercenaries, panic rooms, oil money, Hillary Clinton, John Krasinski and the age old art of Gadaffi-ing a stranger in a public place. The movie has just been added to Netflix so check it out and come join us for the ride!

As a tip of the cap to our Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas episode we have run with our Top Five Drug Movies - and it turns out there is a heap to choose from! Who would have thought...

For the quiz this time BJ hits Kenny & Duff with a hotly contested, rapid fire quiz based on movies set in one city.

Before we recorded this podcast we had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-coloured uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Please enjoy...

You know when you're watching a terrible film and you can't work out why that great actor is in it?

We sure do, and we made lists of our top five ever such appearances.

But before we get to that we have a quiz that Duff employed AI to write for him. What could possibly go wrong...?

The Great Wall is the most expensive Chinese film ever made and the most expensive monster movie ever made so how can it not be awesome? Right? We went over the Wall together and came back changed forever. Tune in and find out if we redeem this Matt Damon "classic" from the critics harsh words or do we nail it to the cross? Thanks for listening!

Ever watch a movie and think "wow, I never knew they had this in them?" Of course you have.

So have we, we even made a list of top five such performances for your entertainment.

Before that though enjoy a quiz with the boys - and the usual unhinged and inappropriate banter.

Someone said we don't do enough Action films so here it is, an action film literally called American Assassin. We came for the Dylan O'Brien show but was it enough to carry another CIA action thriller? We discuss books made into movies, child stars becoming legit actors, Michael Keaton's renaissance, NUKES, Istanbul and heaps more...

Few people love and appreciate a movie montage like Duff. So we decided to do our Top Five Movie Montages, but did he understand the assignment?

First though we celebrate the genius of Jim Carrey by drafting his movies. Kenny is the undefeated draft king, can one of the other boys knock him off his throne?
