Can I change my score?

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt return to Andy's old gang for Toy Story 5 , Pixar's latest trip down memory lane. They chat about Jessie's promotion to leading toy, Woody's surprisingly reduced role, and whether the franchise is still breaking new ground or simply keeping the wheels turning for another adventure. Along the way, they praise scene-stealers like Smartypant...

Matt and Sophie tackle Steven Spielberg's long-awaited sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day , a film that promised government conspiracies, alien secrets and blockbuster spectacle but left them surprisingly cold. Despite an impressive cast including Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth, neither host found themselves emotionally invested in the story or its characters. The conversation explores why...

Matt and Sophie dive into Pixar's latest original film, Hoppers , a movie that left them surprisingly cold despite its glowing reviews and stunning animation. While the beavers are undeniably adorable, the visuals are beautiful, and supporting characters like Titus and George provide some genuinely funny moments, neither host can shake the feeling that something important is missing. The discussio...

Matt and Sophie revisit Fool's Gold , the 2008 treasure-hunting adventure that reunited Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson after How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days . What follows is less a discussion about buried treasure and more an exploration of why McConaughey remains such a magnetic screen presence, even when the material around him is decidedly average. The pair discuss the film's sun-soaked esca...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt investigate The Sheep Detectives , the unlikely murder mystery that somehow became Hugh Jackman’s highest-rated film. What starts as a quirky tale of talking sheep solving their shepherd’s murder turns into something far deeper, tackling grief, memory, loss and the question of what makes a life meaningful. Along the way, they discuss why...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt return to Barbie to see if the pink-powered phenomenon still works without the full Barbenheimer buzz. Sophie revisits the joy of Barbie Land, Margot Robbie’s perfect casting, Ryan Gosling’s full Ken-ergy, and that America Ferrera monologue, while Matt questions Ken’s “beach” credentials and whether the film is secretly more about Ken tha...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt head straight home from the cinema to talk about Project Hail Mary , a big, funny, surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi adventure powered almost entirely by Ryan Gosling doing what Ryan Gosling does best. There’s a dying sun, a panicked scientist, a spaceship full of problems, and an alien friendship that somehow manages to be both ridiculous an...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt finally tackle Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man , the long-awaited Netflix follow-up to the gangland saga that gave us hats, brooding, and Cillian Murphy staring into the middle distance like it’s an Olympic sport. Sophie goes in hoping for atmosphere, style and a proper send-off, only to find herself underwhelmed by fuzzy lighting, flat...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt finally catch up with The Fall Guy , the stunt-filled action comedy they somehow missed in cinemas, only to discover on Netflix that it’s exactly the kind of film that makes you wonder why you didn’t watch it sooner. Ryan Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a stuntman with feelings he can’t quite articulate, Emily Blunt is the director-love-inter...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt finally catch up with Sinners, the Oscar-magnet genre mash-up set in 1930s Mississippi. What begins as a simple story about two brothers opening a juke joint quickly spirals into vampires, blues music, community politics, and one extremely persistent Irish folk song that refuses to leave Matt’s brain. Sophie bravely navigates the film’s h...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt wade through Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind , a slow-burn, 1970s-set anti-heist movie that looks gorgeous, sounds incredible, and steadfastly refuses to make its audience feel anything. What starts with lush autumnal colours, jazzy needle-drops, and the promise of a clever art theft quickly drifts into an extended study of a man gently…...

In this Christmas episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt abandon the usual rules and take stock of a year spent in dark cinemas and on slightly uncomfortable sofas. There are films they definitely meant to watch, films they loved more than expected, and films that left them wondering how two hours could feel so long. Sophie defends a few unpopular choices, Matt draws some very firm li...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt return to the Knives Out universe for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery , a murder mystery that arrives armed with religious symbolism, familiar accents, and a runtime that refuses to take the hint. Benoit Blanc is back, sounding more confident than ever, but the case itself sprawls across churches, bars, books-about-books, and a rev...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt sprint head‑first into The Running Man, Edgar Wright’s dystopian game‑show thriller starring Glenn Powell, several baffled supporting actors, and more product placement than a Super Bowl commercial. Sophie battles a full-body vibe rejection within the first ten minutes, Matt questions the film’s understanding of money, physics, and human...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt dive headfirst into Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein . Did it reanimate the Gothic classic or just shuffle stylishly across the screen for two and a half hours? Sophie’s confused about the romance subplot, Matt’s baffled by how the monster looks runway-ready, and both agree the most horrifying part was how little they actual...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt head back to the cinema – and back to 2012 – for the 13th anniversary re-release of ParaNorman . It’s spooky season, and this cult stop-motion gem still holds up (and looks even better in faux-3D). Matt’s enchanted by Laika’s craftsmanship, toilet-bound uncles, and Halloween deep cuts; Sophie’s swooning over the chubby charm of Neil and w...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt gamble on The Ballad of a Small Player , a slow, spectral tale of vice, fate, and soggy banknotes somewhere off the coast of Macau. Sophie’s taken by the dreamlike mood and neon melancholy; Matt’s hung up on haunted money stashes and Colin Farrell looking like he hasn’t seen a shower since the Bush administration. Tilda Swinton’s somewher...

In this spookily subterranean episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt emerge from Bristol’s Redcliffe Caves after watching The Bride of Frankenstein —a 1935 classic that’s equal parts gothic, goofy, and glorious. Between Boris Karloff’s earnest grunts and Elsa Lanchester’s five minutes of fame (spent mostly screaming), the hosts wonder: how did something this silly become so iconic? Th...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt break into Roofman , the new based-on-a-true-story film starring Channing Tatum (and quite a lot of him) and Kirsten Dunst. They dissect the film’s tone confusion, the strange blend of heist and heart, and why it never quite lands its big emotional swings. Was it meant to be funny? Are we supposed to root for this guy? Also: unrequested n...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt take on Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another , a sprawling, noisy, and oddly funny adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland . Both hosts land on the same score (a rare feat!) but for very different reasons: Sophie’s swept along by the atmosphere, Matt can’t get over Sean Penn’s twitchy eyelids, and both are floored by how the fi...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt revisit The Wonder , Sebastián Lelio’s slow-burning tale of miracles, misery, and medicine in post-famine Ireland. Sophie’s swooning over the cinematography and Florence Pugh’s impeccable spoon work, while Matt’s digging deep into the film’s themes of belief, trauma, and small-town control. From fourth wall breaks to real-life mother-daug...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt dive into The Roses – a dark comedy about a marriage slowly (and sometimes violently) unravelling. Sophie’s sipping bubbly and hunting for more chaos, Matt’s quietly admiring the script’s British bite, and both wonder if Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch make the most believable toxic couple in years. Was this the dark romcom they we...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt speed straight from the cinema into the podcast booth to talk all things Formula One, the glossy new Brad Pitt movie that’s basically Cars meets Top Gun: Maverick with a midlife crisis twist. Sophie’s swept away by the racing, the soundtrack and Brad’s perfect abs, while Matt’s deeply unconvinced by the physics, the plot, and the pit stop...

In this unusual solo episode of Can I Change My Score? , Matt ventures into the rebooted DC universe without Sophie, who flat-out refused to see another superhero movie. So it’s just him, a cinema ticket, and a whole lot of thoughts on James Gunn’s new Superman . From red pants and infrastructure damage to Lex Luthor’s lack of rizz, Matt muses on masculinity, missed punchlines, and whether we real...

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt finally watch Oppenheimer – two years late but still armed with Barbenheimer merch. They marvel at Cillian Murphy’s hollowed-out cheekbones (powered by a single almond), admire Christopher Nolan’s unexpectedly accessible storytelling, and grapple with the hour of post-bomb political fallout. It's a film about big ideas, bigger bombs, and...
