For Your Reconsideration

G'day! This week's pick comes courtesy of listener Drew Henderson. Drew invites us to a land down under for a deep dive into Greg McLean's 2007 Crocathon; Rogue. Join us as we plan the world's worst dinner party, discuss long haul flight/outback attire and question how chill the characters are regarding the demise of their loved ones. Get on it and make it snappy! Got a movie you think deserves re...

On this weeks episode, Simon invites us to join him in Mega City One for Alex Garland/Pete Travis's 'psychedelically grotty' Dredd! The in depth discussion leads the guys to ponder, is Judge Dredd's vision of justice appropriate for disciplining children? Is biting a penis enough to make someone a crime lord? And just where the hell is Rob Schneider? Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration?...

It's James's pick this week, and we're following the Italian Stallion to Cold War Russia. In this rip roaring edition, the boys discuss how much of the movie is made up of footage from previous instalments, ask if you can ever have too many montages and ponder what Paulie has in store for that Robot. Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration? Give us a shout on Twitter  @FYRFilmPod &nbsp...

Neither Simon nor James had heard of Rob's pick this week, the sci-fi flick Fire In The Sky, which naturally made them worry - but has he actually pulled one out of the bag? Rob uses the podcast as therapy and forces the boys to watch one of the most horrific alien abduction sequences in film history, after which they try to work out if its a creepy sci-fi character piece, or a Hallmark TV movie w...

The lads turn back to the house of mouse for this week's movie, Tron: Legacy. Is it an effects-heavy clunkathon, or much more than the very shiny sum of its parts? Having selected two Disney films out of three picks, Simon must convince the boys he's not on Uncle Walt's payroll, before assessing, after all the sensory pleasures subside, whether the film offers the emotional heft to match. Got a mo...

We go full neon and grime with the Safdie brother's low-budget film, Good Time. The question is, did the lads have one? James brings forward a movie that was hugely underseen at the time, featuring a performance from R-Patz that puts the Twilight movies firmly in the rear view mirror - but will Simon be able to handle the fact that the character makes some pretty damning choices? And, for that mat...

The bullets are back in an early Marvel revenge flick, The Punisher. Is it worthy of being included in the wider family of the MCU? Or is it the MCU's weird cousin who shouldn't get invited anywhere? Travolta's hair, Jane's abs, Patton's outrageous gravitas, the practical effects, the schizophrenic score, the one glaringly awful use of CGI, the clownish team of sidekicks... There's a lot to go at,...

Simon is at the plate for this weeks episode as the guys take a trip to Barsoom for Andrew Stanton's, John Carter. If you're a lover of abdominal muscles, obscure 90's football references and the idea of a film critic getting trapped inside his own metaphor. This is the episode for you! We also discuss the movie.

It's time for some time travel and Predestination. Can the lads unpack their toughest assignment to date and keep their brains from scrambling in the process? The gents have to ask the big questions of life, love, fate, the hereafter, and infinity - and test each other on just how well they managed to understand a film that offers constant surprises. Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration?...

Rob's pick brings howls of panic and derision, as he attempts to convince that the 2006 Adam Sandler film, Click, deserves your love after all. A film that Rob and Simon loved, while James most certainly did not, falls under the microscope. Beneath the crass jokes, Oscar-nominated make-up work, and ill-judged moments, does a tender heart beat with a profound message? Got a movie you think deserves...

The focus turns low-budget as the boys take a look at Shane Meadow's Dead Man's Shoes, and try to get a sponsorship deal with Pot Noodle in the process. The lads turn back the years to their student days in Sheffield to check out a film that was filmed & funded locally, and was heavily referenced in their early studies. Will it stand the test of time, or was a heady nostalgia responsible for a...

The gents are back with another episode of filmic fun, this time checking out 2008's fairly colourful offering from the Wachowskis, Speed Racer. Will Speed Racer earn a recommendation? Will Simon remember who stole his DVD of the film when it first came out ten years ago? Will James survive the seige of whirling colours and hold onto his lunch? Will Rob handle the two hour run time and the fact th...

Your hosts Rob, James and Simon discuss John Woo's 1993 American Debut, Hard Target. No stone is left unturned as the chaps discuss the movie front to back, inside and out. The incredible 90s score, the never-still camerawork, the scene-stealing extras...right down to Van Damme's three intros and his frankly incredible hair. Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration? Give us a shout on Twitte...
