The first return  to Hobbit country might have not gone as planned for Peter Jackson’s as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was critically derided but still made mint at the box office. So is second part in this new Middle Earth trilogy any different? That’s exactly the question we debate with Sujoy Singha (OneKnighStand and […]

Back in the chair for Upod we have a varied episode, covering a multitude of films. Heavy duty stuff to begin with as Asim and Martin have been watching documentaries.  Utopia, the latest from John Pilger, takes its name from a region of Australia’s Northern Territories.  Home to many aborigines the reality is that Utopia […]
