On this bitter-sweet episode, we finally finish our journey through the entire Sony Spider-Man Villain Spin-Off Universe. To say our goodbyes this week, we're reviewing 'Venom: The Last Dance', a movie that also says a lot of goodbyes. In this one, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Venom (also Tom Hardy) are being hunted by this group that study symbiotes! They're also being hunted by al...

'The Social Reckoning' is writer/director Aaron Sorkin's follow-up to 2010's 'The Social Network', which follows the events leading up to the massive 2021 Facebook leaks by whistleblower Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison). She works with journalist Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White) to expose many secrets kept by Facebook and it's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg (Jeremy Strong). Join o...

We're continuing our long and dangerous journey through the Sony Spider-Man Villain Spin-Off Universe with this week's movie review of 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage'. Tom Hardy is back as Eddie Brock, and the alien symbiote Venom, for a romantic comedy where the couple have to navigate their new lives as a journalist/crime-fighter. Oh, and Woody Harrelson is there as Carnage and he&...

Tom Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, one of the most powerful men in the world, who has to work with a scientist (Riz Ahmed) and the President of the United States (John Goodman) to deal with a massive diaster he's maybe caused. This is the latest film from Alejandro G. Iñárritu (writer/director of 'Birdman' and 'The Revenant'), and it wowed Sandro so much that he raced home from...

Years before it was Morbin' time, before we knew they were making a Kraven movie, even before we saw how Dakota Johnson opens Pepsi cans... There was a little movie called 'Venom', which single-handedly jumpstarted the entire Sony Spider-Man Villain Spin-Off Universe by making a bunch of money. Join us as we turn back time and review this historic superhero film in which Tom Hardy play...

This week, we're reviewing a movie that explores what would happen if you take a comic-book character and did a complete 180 on everything they are about. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the title character, 'Kraven the Hunter' is about a vigilante who hunts down bad dudes like poachers and drug lords, instead of hunting dangerous animals and Spider-Man like he does in the source material. But th...

In our most ambitious challenge yet, we are reviewing at least three movies from the defunct Sony Spider-Man Villain Spin-Off Universe (SSMVSOU for short). To kick off, we're finally talking about Morbius, a film so heavily memed that the internet convinced Sony to re-release it into theatres so it could bomb a second time. It's about Doctor Michael Morbius (played by allegedly terrible person Jar...

Next week, we are back with a new series of episodes covering Sony's Spin-Off Spider-Man Universe of Cash Grabs. To get you caught up, here is an episode for the one we're already reviewed...

On this bonus episode, we check out a dark comedy about a gameshow where prisoners on deathrow get a chance to win their freedom. It's rude, violent, meanspirited, satirical fun... Kinda like a mix between Troma and RoboCop! This movie may also contain the best dream sequence ever put to film.

Cyclone is a movie that dares ask the question: "What if a motorcycle was futuristic?" It also asks the question: "What if bad people were after the motorcycle and our main character doesn't know who she should trust?" The movie follows that up with another question: "What if instead of being after the motorcycle, the bad people were actually after another MacGuffin?" Yep, that's Cyclone, a movie...

This week, we're dipping into our Patreon vaults for a bonus episode on the teen comedy 'Up the Creek'. It features a rhyming dog, a cast of characters that are straight out of Police Academy, and an alarming amount of explosions.

If you're a fan of John Wick and Drive but wish they were a little bit more self aware, then this week's movie might be up your alley. Chosen by one of our listeners, we're reviewing Gunpowder Milkshake, in which Karen Gillan plays a hitwoman who is trying to protect a young girl (Chloe Coleman) from some rival assassins. The film features a neon-lit bowling alley, a bunch of ridiculous action seq...

We are simply obsessed with Curry Barker's new horror film Obsession. We've obsessed with how Michael Johnston plays Bear, a real crook bloke who uses a supernatural wishing stick to make Inde Navarrette's character Nicki fall in love with him. We're so obsessed with this movie that we've brought in streamer MarkEvs55 to talk about it with us, and he's seen the movie over 6 times! He's so obsessed...

To wrap up our month-long series of Australian movies, chosen by Sandro and our patrons, we are reviewing two highly regarded crime comedies. The first is Idiot Box, where a young Ben Mendelsohn works with his best mate Jeremy Sims to rob a bank. Then there's Two Hands, which sees Heath Ledger also trying to rob a bank for a crime lord played by Bryan Brown, all while trying to date Rose Byrne. Jo...

Australians know this film as Frog Dreaming, Americans might know it as The Quest, and if you're in the UK then the title The Go-Kids might ring a bell. But no matter where you're from, the best way to describe this week's movie is "that weird Australian family movie that stars the kid from E.T". On this episode, we're joined by podcaster Robert Yaniz Jr to review a movie where Henry Thomas is in...

In Australia, we love to make horror movies that scare off any potential tourists from visiting the more rural parts of the country. This week's film is one of those but done to a slightly more extreme level. Greg McLean's Wolf Creek follows two British tourists (played by Aussie actors Cassandra Magrath and Kestie Morassi) and one bloke from Sydney (Nathan Phillips) as they make a stop at an icon...

Moana is the latest Disney movie to get the live-action treatment, with Catherine Laga'aia stepping in as the title character and Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Maui. The original only came out 10 years ago, so Sandro went to an early screening to see if this remake brings anything new to the table.

For all of July, Sandro has picked a bunch of Australian movies to review, and we're starting with a film that is truly one of a kind. The Return of Captain Invincible is a musical about a WWII superhero (Alan Arkin) who flees to Australia after being accused of communism. When Mr Midnight (Christopher Lee) starts to kick off some evil plans, Captain Invincible works with a Sydney police detective...

The new DC Universe continues this week with Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira.

As Zach's month of movies comes to an end, we are joined by actor Zac Rose to finally review a Studio Ghibli film. Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Porco Rosso is a classic Japanese anime adventure about an Italian World War I fighter pilot who now looks like a pig. He fights some sky pirates, starts a rivalry with a younger American pilot, and meets a young girl who helps fix up his plane....

Pixar has made another Toy Story movie! This one focuses on Jessie (Joan Cusack). With the help of Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and Woodie (Tom Hanks), they fight for relevancy against Bonnie's latest toy: Lilypad (Greta Lee). Sandro caught the film early, so give this spoiler-free review a listen to see if Toy Story 5 is worth a watch! Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.co...

In Swiss Army Man, Daniel Radcliffe plays a dead body. That concept alone should be enough to interest you, but if you need more, it also stars Paul Dano as a guy who's stranded on an island. It's also directed by Daniels, the duo behind Everything Everwhere All At Once. You need more information? Well, alright, listen to this episode to hear us talk about how good the film is.
