How are you coping with all this spare time?

Maybe we can point you in a few directions in episode 18.5 where we share with you, what we have been watching and reading.

Finally, it is back to business as usual as our intrepid duo dive back into the world book to movie adaptions.

 

This week, they look to a futuristic dystopia where cities have been given wheels and naturally 'eat' smaller towns. A world driven by Municipal Darwinism and the past is conveniently forgotten.

 

Yes, this week, we look at Philip Reeve's 2001 novel Mortal Engines and Christian Rivers (yes we know its really Peter Jacksons) oh so disappointing 2018 big screen adaptation.

 

But which is better; The book or the movie?

 

On a side note, we are currently locked down like so many of you, so the sound is not perfect here as we are learning about remote recording. So please bare with us, you may need to listen up at times. We are working towards sorting this issue out.

 

Stay home and stay safe everybody.

Our duo have returned!

Sorry we have been gone for a while. One of us (Me, Lee) has been facing some issues which sadly mean this has had to take a back seat for a few months. 

I am happy to say, these things seem to be in check now and I am happy to back! Thank you for holding on in there.

This is a welcome back episode to catch up with all of you and to see how you are all doing in this very strange time!

Enjoy the show and stay safe. 

We have missed talking to you and look forward to lots more new episodes!

 

This week we look at the shows, movies and books we think you should be taking the time to watch and read during the lockdown (we are sure you are locked down upon date of release)

The shows and books you never got around to watching or reading. 

Rest assured, our normal format is going to return very soon!

 

Cheers

 

Lee & Steve

This week on our .5/quick half, we discuss Martin Scorsese's new masterpiece 'The Irishman'. Is it still cinema if you never go to the cinema?

Netflix great new show, 'The Movies That Made Us' and we chat about our top 3 movies that we feel deserve a remake.

Naturally, Baby Yoda is discussed, because you know, why wouldn't he be talked about?

Grab your capes and get ready to fight, f**k and generally be as funny as our boys review...well maybe as funny as The Boys.

This week, to finish off out comic book hatrick, our duo look at Garth Ennis' hilariously rude and violent comic series and compare it to the smash hit Amazon Prime series of the same name. But which is better; the book or the film?

Dum dum dum de de dum de de dum

Who are you calling dumb repeatedly it a classic tune?

It was always going to happen. Our Sci-Fi loving geeky combo are ready to tackle a ranking of a certain series of movies set in a galaxy far, far away.

in this 2 park 'ranking' special we are steering away from adaptations for a little bit and talking all things Star Wars. ALL things, the good the bad and the ugly.

Join us, wont you?

In this weeks .5/quick half Lee and Steve take a quick look at the Watchmen tv show before discussing the cartoons of their childhood and which topped the charts for them.

We do say that the next episode is Ready Player One . This is just wrong! The next show after this is going to be 'The Boys' sorry about that, we got mixed up.

Enjoy

Who watches The Watchmen? Well in this case it is those who cast the pod!

Why it's the intrepid Writefilm duo discussing the 1986 Watchmen comic and the 2009 Zack Snyder adaptation. But which is mightier, the pen or the Snyder Cut? Tune in to find out!

Going on holiday? say, perhaps to the moon to contemplate existence? There are cheaper methods to have a midlife crisis, but fear not! You can download this and take it with you, to help..... I don't know, cheer you up!

I am sorry for the sound quality on this recording. It gets pretty echo happy from time to time. I have sorted it now.

This week in our .5/quick half we discuss the frustrations of living in the UK as Disney plus launches seemingly everywhere else except the UK (I know that is not true).

We also chat about our top 3 Disney movies and why they top the pops!

As its out .5, there is no adaptation chat, enjoy :)

What these scars? I got them recording our Joker episode whilst dancing with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight. Where Steve and Lee discuss the billion dollar smash that is Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix's 2019 'Joker' and compare it to the so serious 1988 Alan Moore classic 'The Killing Joke'. But which is better; the book or the film?

Also please excuse our counting failure (again), we call this episode 14, when it is in fact 15. yes, we are stupid!
