The people have spoken, and a studio has listened! We wanted a Predator movie with a simplified plot, in the jungle, with Arnie, no cities or Aliens. Well, Schwarzenegger may have hung up the machete, but a Comanche tribe takes over and delivers with a love letter to the original while also standing on its own two feet. Nick tackles the ins and outs of why this Predator movie surpasses its fellow sequels (don’t put it in a city, duh) and the power of great story telling and enthralling a...

Grief, depression, broken families, death, it’s all positive vibes as Nick reviews a 7-hour murder mystery.Kate Winslet shines in an Emmy winning performance with a supporting cast threatening to steal the show. The bigger issues though are how we process grief, having more red herrings than billed cast members, and whether drawing existential meaning from a couple of nice camera shots qualifies as insightful podcasting, or just pretentious rubbish? If you have any questions or que...

Back with a bang! After a long hiatus, Nick returns much like the Mighty Thor himself - a new setup, a new mantra, and a more relaxed approach duuude. Will a new streamlined approach save this service from mediocrity and degradation? Who knows, but it's free content so best not to pull that thread.

In contrast to the usual order of play, Nick reviews a movie he likes. But first, the latest rendition of movie news explores Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’ trailer and why it makes no sense, new movies which aren’t that new since they were supposed to come out a year ago, and trailers for new movies that are actually new, or at least newer than the older new movies.

Proper order is restored with some classically self-indulgent, overly excessive movie analysis. But first, the easing of covid restrictions around the globe has brought a new stream of trailers as studios see dollar signs. Oh, and Gal Gadot said some stuff.

Put on your Iron Man helmet, strap on your Hulk hands and just fanboy your heart out for the final episode of Marvel’s latest mini-series.

With only one episode to go, the show tugs away at the heartstrings with some sneakily touching moments. Meanwhile, Sam and Bucky use up their annual leave with some beers and real talk in the woods. This of course sparks some big, deep questions such as: When did Discount Steve get so good at welding? Why do Karli’s men prefer murder over your basic criminal espionage? And why is it so hard to make fun of this well-written, emotionally charged episode?! If you have any questions or...
