Friday Nights at Blockbuster

Closing out the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy. I was initially ready to come in a defend this flawed entry... but alas time has not been kind to this movie, and nor was I. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Part two of our Batman rewatch. It's really all about Heath Ledger in this one. He brings what would have been a pretty damn good movie up to another level. Host: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

We're finally tackling the biggest franchise of the decade (outside of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Avatar if that counts, the beginnings of the MCU, what was The Fast and Furious like at the time?, one of my favourites has always been Mission Impossible). Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

One of Kate's favourite movies goes under the microscope this week. Do I take it easy on it and her... no. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Kate and I answer an age old question this week... Ben Affleck or Josh Hartnett? Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Biopics are a tricky business. Either they cram too much in, or they leave too much out. It can be hard to find a balance. Gus Van Sant's Milk threads that needle pretty well! Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

I try once again to convince Kate a movie that does not seem like on the surface is actually a rom-com. Perhaps a little successfully this time. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

All about Michael Mann heist movies this week. One is the blueprint and the other is the masterpiece. The action is the juice! Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Looking back to the movie where Colin Farrell became one of our absolute favourite actors. Dark Comedy isn't for everyone, but no one does it better than McDonagh! Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Tackling one of Kate's Top 5 Directorial Debuts this week. An under seen and under appreciated sports movie/coming-of age-drama. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Get those Top 5 lists ready! Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

What makes a RomCom? Perhaps my definition is too lenient, but if a movie makes me laugh and is romantic I think it completes the checklist. There are others with a more puritanical view on the issue... Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Darth Vader... Hannibal Lecter... Cruella Deville... These are the great movie villains of all time, and they can all step aside for the new Queen of cruel, Briony Tallis! Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Before we even talk about the movie I get absolutely humbled by some of the hardest movie trivia I've ever been asked (seriously if anyone gets one question correct please reach out). As for the movie, it's all about Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, two of our favourite actors, with two of their better performances. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Jason Bourne is back, still being chased by the CIA, and still trying to figure out who he is and where he comes from, but this time in a different European city! Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

A look at a bleak future (and present) this week, with Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi dystopian masterpiece. Given that one of us is a parent and the other isn't, Kate and I have different feelings about living in a world without children... Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Very influenced by my enjoyment of Shogun, we are looking at another Japanese set tale of Westerns coming in and thinking they know what's best. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Back for another Sofia Coppola movie, this one much larger, louder, and in your face! The often satirical and irreverant look at one of history's biggest icons was a bold approach at the time, and we talk about where Coppola's movie went right in contrast to Ridley Scott's latest effort Napoleon. Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Reaction to the 96th Academy Awards, and we were both really happy. Good winners. Good host. And finally, for the first time ever, a good musical performance! Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

The final episode of our Best Picture Winners miniseries. Looking back at the first non-English language winner of the award, and what a movie it is! Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Part two of our Best Picture miniseries. This week going back to see if Kathryn Bigelow's Irag war movie holds up, and if we would have liked to be apart of the bomb disposal unit in the army. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

Starting our Best Picture Winners series with one from the 1990's. I grew up with Western movies, and somehow Kate missed out. But all the John Wayne movies in the world wouldn't really prepare me for Clint Eastwood's dark, punishing revisionist take on the wild west in Unforgiven. Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely

Let the debate commence, is The Notebook a sad movie or not? One of us says yes, the other no. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

An up and down week for Kate, one movie that worked and one that didn't. Hosts: Kate Vallely, Ciaran Vallely

This week's movie possess one of the hardest questions Kate and I have ever had to answer on the podcast, what Affleck brother reigns supreme? Hosts: Ciaran Vallely, Kate Vallely
