Send us Fan Mail This week we take a look at two films both of which left us a bit confused as to what's going on! Downsizing has some great characters that save the film some what but jumps around and doesn't have a clear path as to what it's trying to achieve. It's a great idea for a film but did it score well? the second film was the 2025 Netflix film The Old Guard 2 which t...

Send us Fan Mail In a change from the norm the lads take a look at and listen to the J.B. Priestly play An Inspector Calls. Still used as part of the GCSE English Literature exams it's a bit of a classic. Written in 1945 and based on a time period of 1912 it's a tale of the moralities of society during the time period and how people are often tenuously connected with massive cumulative a...

Send us Fan Mail Is Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubrick's best film? It has to be up there. Telling the story of a platoon of young marines during the Vietnam war.

With competition from Platoon, Apocalypse Now and The deer Hunter for the title o...

Send us Fan Mail This week we take look at the 2024 film Carry-On. Ethan, played by Aaron Egerton, is a customs officer or as they call them in America a TSA agent who's a bit of a slacker that ends up being forced to let a bomb pass through his x-ray machine.

Send us Fan Mail This week we take a look back at the 1993 Seven Spielberg classic Jurassic Park. The first real dinosaur movie to use ground breaking effects and a story line that's yet to be equaled. With a fantastic cast that all perform brilliantly the first true blockbuster!

Send us Fan Mail This week we take a look at the Norwegian WW11 resistance story of Gunnar Sonsteby  Number 24.  This is a slow burn movie that delves into the life of a resistance fighter and some of the undercover operations he took part in and organised to sabotage the Nazi occupiers.  We also take a brief look at the new Apple action movie The Gorge.  Does this latest Apple movie live up to th...

Send us Fan Mail This week the lads take a look at the fictional 2024 film Civil War. Starring Kirsten Dunst as the jaded Lee Smith a war photographer that's at the end of her tether and Cailee Spaeny as the young aspiring photographer wanting to make a mark. It's a slowish film at time that often reminds of the war films of the 80's and 90's. Is it worth a watch? Listen on to...

Send us Fan Mail This week the lads take a look at the most recent Alien franchise offering Alien Romulus. Directed by horror film master Fede Alvarez Romulus was hyped up as taking the Alien films back to their  roots and being a good space horror.

Send us Fan Mail This week the lads take a look at two vastly different film. One a cult classic the other a festive film that may become a family favourite in time. John Carpenters The Thing is probably his best film to date. Starring Kurt Russell at his best this film is a must watch for sci-fi fans and still holds up today. It's worth watching for the practical effects alone. Hot Frosty is...

Send us Fan Mail This week in a break from the norm we took a look at the Hayao Miyazaki animated film Howl's Moving Castle. At times this film is visually stunning but as with many of Miyazaki's films sometime a little hard to follow. The story in Howl's Moving Castle is based in an alternate reality filled with wizard, witches, turnip topped scare crows and talking fire. A great f...

Send us Fan Mail This week we take a look at the hidden gem Wicked Little Letters.
