In this week’s Mini Treatment, we chat about an upcoming sequel to the live action Pokémon movie that no one asked for, Gordon Ramsey being Gordon Ramsey, an Aussie tv show about a women’s prison and a psychological horror movie that features what might be the most horrific death we’ve ever seen.

We finally tackle the movie that made ‘fetch’ happen! Mean Girls was a cultural phenomenon, taking the teen comedy to a whole new level and giving an entire generation a raft of quotable lines that they’re still using well into their 30s. If you haven’t seen it, are you really a millennial?

Professional film-watcher Alex joins us this week to chat about a Harry Potter franchise sequel no one asked for, a popular documentary series that explores the growing fascist theocracy that is the United States, Nolan’s ability to make pretty-but-overrated movies, Netflix’s latest cash grab about two domestic abusers and some game Liam’s been playing that definitely isn’t a rip off of Animal Crossing.

The new and improved Sequel Treatment is HERE! No more long and meandering preludes to the actual topic, we’re now getting straight into the movie to keep all you short-attention-spanned dummies entertained. This week, we chat about the sequel to a movie that was supposed to be a reboot but ended up being a prequel: Days of Future Past.

In the very first episode of The Mini Treatment, we touch on an upcoming prequel in a little-known found footage franchise, a modern day slashic, the latest Star Wars cash-grab and the new Aussie horror film taking the world by storm.

We’re back with everyone’s favourite clawed crusader this week as Wolverine sinks his claws into a Japanese setting. Unfortunately, the change of scenery offers very little respite from the absolute tedium that is this movie’s plot. Seriously, who actually remembered this movie existed? No one!

The X-Men franchise throws it all the way back to the 60s this time, when Kevin Bacon attempted to orchestrate the Cuban Missile Crisis and start World War III. If there’s one thing we can take away from this movie, it’s that you don’t need to pay attention to any storylines, character development or even established canon from any previous films in the franchise. You can just vibe it!

Christ, what an awful movie. A blight on not just the X-Men franchise, but cinema in general. A cancer on the superhero genre. It single-handedly set human-mutant relations back 50 years. Hugh Jackman should hang his head in shame.

We sit down to chat about one of the most anticipated movies of the year! Ethan Hunt and his team are back in this action-packed film about a secret agent that goes rogue…. Again…. Honestly, you could be forgiven for getting confused about which Mission Impossible movie this is, they’re all pretty much the same at this point.

With a new director at the helm and a raft of new characters to explore, the third outing for the X-Men unfortunately buckles under the weight of just having too much going on. A movie that was a childhood favourite of many, The Last Stand unfortunately crumbles in the light of adulthood.
