First it's "you didn't take the bins out" then it's "well you promised to take the bins out in our marriage vows" then it's "well you said you were the kind of person that always takes the bins out on our first date" then it's "well, why don't you shack up with Trevor, I bet HE TAKES THE BINS OUT".

Inevitably, CELLOUTS, to appreciate the happy picnic we must experience the depressing lukewarm kebab. So wrapped in polystyrene and a stale pitta, here are our worst films of the year. However, we don't want to leave you on a bad note so we've also got a few honourable mentions and what we've learnt this year too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR CELLOUTS! It's a time to look back at the year we had or, in the case of 2020, the year we sort of had. In the first of a two part special we talk about our best films of the year.

Curveball Review/Indiana Jones by Films Are Better Than People

The Devil All The Time Review/Blade/Les Miserables by Films Are Better Than People

Laurence is on his lonesome this week as the first of his dispatches from the London Film Festival get him to review two films on family and identity, lyrical hip hop saga Mogul Mowgli and weird and beautiful comedy Kajillionaire.

This week, Sam and Laurence review the film that is getting everyone back into cinemas - Tenet. Christopher Nolan's time inversion spy thriller is splitting audiences and critics alike with its complex plot and concept so we get stuck in to one of the most talked about films of recent years. We also look at Primer (2004) and Looper (2012) to fully explore the time travel sub-genre.

Pack your fake passports and mini cameras CELLOUTS we're going undercover as we review tense 70's espionage thriller Three Days of the Condor. Plus in what have we been watching it's a sports film with a rivalry that's pushing the competitors to the edge and a cinematic classic with politics that are pushing decency to the edge.

This week Laurence and Sam get all political...NO WAIT DON'T GO we still talk about a film! Jon Stewart's latest, Irresistable starring Steve Carell and Rose Byrne.

This week we're watching timely war drama Da 5 Bloods, Spike Lee's new Netflix release.

New season new...well no it's the same us. Sam and Laurence talk about what we can't wait to see once cinemas open again and also what we wish they'd just leave on the lock down shelf.

Violence, desperation and a twisted moral compass are all things you might find in a supermarket low on eggs or toilet paper these days but it's also rife in this weeks review, gritty Irish crime drama Calm With Horses. Plus we're going into a personal and professional war zone and nose to nose bone with the infernal in this weeks What Have You Been Watching?

Gunfights, car chases, explosions oh my! All are plentiful in this weeks review of Extraction a new release on Netflix. Plus an old heist trilogy steals our hearts then our patience and corrupt politics corrupts...mostly in what have you been watching?

In this bumper edition of CellCast we review satirical action/comedy The Hunt and as well this week we've been watching a film about pubs and films about swashbuckling on the high seas!

This week, Laurence and Sam review Spanish Netflix parable The Platform and chat about Bloodshot and A Killing of A Sacred Deer.
