Netflix recently released Beverley Hills Cop: Axel F, so we take a spoilerific dive into what has to be the worst titled film in the series, in what seems to have become a naming trend with legacy sequels, and look at if it holds up against the rest in the series.

The Bear is back on Disney Plus & Matt, Florey & James give spoiler free opinions on the first few excellent episodes & look at why Fox/ Twentieth Century Studios continually manage to make good stuff.

On this episode, James, Matt and Florey take a good look at Florey’s GAMEBOT, which is now available to pre-order and talk about the process behind putting it together and what to expect in the future. We also talk about films that two out of three of us at most have watched, Superman’s super-suit, where is The Batman 2 and fail to answer the question “what films would be better as musicals?”.

On the show this week, Matt, James and Florey talk about Richard Linklater's better than a Netflix film, Netflix film, Hit Man, starring Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, Russell Crowe's Pope-naissance, the genius marketing campaign behind the 2020 film Unhinged, why the new Omen film isn't that bad and we start our own cult. 

It's the week after Vice Press Open House 2024, and James, Matt & Florey briefly discuss how it all went. There's discussion on the attention spans of kids (and adults), plus the usual questions from the audience which generates a much more in depth discussion than we are used to.

With Matt back his holiday, we managed to squeeze in recording a new episode before Vice Press Open House kicks off.
