Movie On Up

Who has long legs? Gru. Who flew to the moon? Gru. Who stars in Despicable Me 4? Gru. It's poetic, really. This week, the Movie On Up boys have a lot to talk about including cancelled flights, Ray Romano and that glorious Gladiator II trailer! Get comfy and enjoy your weekly pop culture fix.

Just like A Quiet Place, aliens abruptly swept in and disrupted this week’s recording of Movie On Up (aka Adam’s Dad turned up and was waiting for him in the lay-by). BUT up until that point the boys were on full form in the studio. Adam share’s his less than favourable opinion on Yorgos Lanthimos ’ new film: Kinds Of Kindness . The boys also discuss A Quiet Place: Day One and The Bikeriders , and...

With Adam sunburnt to a crisp in Spain and Alfie bedridden with a broken foot, the Movie On Up team is worse for wear. Nevertheless, undeterred from delivering top-notch film discussions, they use Zoom for this week's catch-up. Please rate the show and share it with your friends!

You'll be sure to feel joy after listening to another episode of Movie On Up. This week, there's reviews for Inside Out 2 and the Season 2 premiere of House of the Dragon.

"Aunt Lucy's on an adventure my a**" Wild one this week... with a lack of films releasing, this week the boys talk about the new Netflix film Hit Man starring Glen Powell, the new Disney+ documentary: Jim Henson Idea Man, and Adam caught a rerelease of the 1999 classic The Matrix on the big screen. Things spiral into delirium when the guys talk about the upcoming Pharrell Williams LE...

After a rock 'n' roll weekend, Adam and Alfie have plenty to discuss - notably Brian Butterfield's Call of Now business seminar. Miraculously , the chairman of the board 'himself' steps in for Michael Caine this week. The Acolyte, a new Star Wars show, premiered on Disney+ and an overlooked sports drama starring Daisy Ridley tells an incredible story! Rate the show and share it...

If Movie On Up had a trailer it would be just like those opening shots from Challengers... sweaty, wet and sexy. Anyway, this week the boys talk one great film, one good film and one meh film, but you'll have to listen to find out which is which. Good friend of the show, Michael Caine drops buy for a catch up and to read us another page from his book

Adam & Alfie are busy with their dissertations and assignments so in place of a full episode, enjoy this snack-sized instalment of film discussion! Just in case you were still feeling shortchanged, here's a Haiku from ChatGPT: 'In the podcast booth, Quick recording, short and sweet, University beat.' Rate the show and share it with your friends!

Somehow two film fanatic journalism students have produced an unplanned Journalism Special of Movie On Up. Amidst the dissertation slog, Adam Barlow watched Adam Garland's hugely mismarketed Civil War and Alfie Walker watched Netflix's dramatisation of the 2019 Prince Andrew Newsnight interview. In need of your weekly dose of movie discussion? Don't sweat it. Rate the show and share it...

What a month for the silver screen! With films coming out left, right and centre, the boys couldn't catch all of them. So this week on the podcast, the boys have help from avid listeners Josh and Lenny. Adam really amps up the James Acaster impression at the tail end of this episode this week - brace yourself.

If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Well, certainly not Adam because he's scared of ghosts. This week the boys dive into one of their favourite 80s franchises, Ghostbusters, with a rewatch of the 1984 and '89 classics, the highly praised 2021 legacy requel, and the brand new for 2024 release 'Frozen Empire'. You know what? Busting makes these...

Every film fan has a never-ending watchlist and Adam & Alfie are no exceptions, this week they talk about the biggest films that they (criminally) haven't ever seen. Fight Club turns 25 years old this year so Adam checks that one off his list. The media runs amok with Bond rumours and 'Sir Michael Caine' seems to have overindulged on St Patrick's Day... bless him. Rate the show...

The 96th Academy Awards were held this week so the boys take one last look back at the celebrated films of last year. The end of an era - we didn't cry, we promise. They also survey the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a hotly discussed topic by geeks around the world. Caine's Corner, A-List Star in our Impressions Repertoire and Cabinet of Curiosities return. Rate the show,...

The boys most anticipated film of the year, Madame Web, sure did disappoint… Let’s hope this small budget, limited release, tiny little film, called Dune: Part Two can cheer the boys up this week. They chat everything Arrakis and Harkonnen this week, deep diving on Part One and Part Two in this Dune bumper special. Christopher Walken joins the A-List Star in Our Impression Repertoire and Adam conv...

Double digits... episode 10! This week, the reviews are of Wicked Little Letters and National Theatre Live's Vanya (with Andrew Scott). Two brand spanking new segments are introduced and the lads talk about the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience: heralded as 'encherining' by (AI) critics... a 'pasadise of sweet teats' to be sure. Next week, it'll be a bumper episode about DUNE...

Movie On Up is in the big time, baby! Adam shares his experience of attending the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards in London. Thankfully, his ego was humbled this week after enduring a showing of Madame Web. There's also a review of The Iron Claw and the lads discuss the new, official Fantastic 4 cast. Alfie is still out on the front lines (doing a radio placement) so Zoom it is, once more! Rate the...

When Phil Lord & Christopher Miller pitched a possible LEGO movie to Dan Lin and Warner Brothers, you'd be forgiven if you presumed a shameless advert was on the way. However, when it released in February 2014, it was critically and commercially a smash hit! Alfie and Adam may be in different counties this week but they had to pay homage to one of the greatest animated movies of all-time a...

As we all know, you can have too much of a good thing. That includes watching Oscar nominees. That's why Adam went to see Matthew Vaughn's new caper this week: Argylle. Cue a 20-minute rant of confusion. Alfie also caught up with Andrew Haigh's All of us Strangers so listen in for a spoiler-filled discussion. Oh! Remember when Alfie left us on tenterhooks for his Kermit impression? Let...

Having now seen (nearly) all the nominees for the 96th Academy Awards, Adam and Alfie run through the main categories and predict the outcomes for the prestigious event. Adam starts the episode feeling burnt by the coffee industry - ground down, if you will. Thankfully, Alfie, the uplifting spirit of Movie On Up, and a little Michael Caine soon fixes things. Life sure would be simpler if you were...

Fuelled by Mini Eggs and sweet beverages, the lads go off the rails. They're joined by 'Christopher Nolan' who gives some insight into what it's like on the set of one of his films. Adam reviews American Fiction and The Holdovers is confirmed to be a crowd-pleaser. The nominations for the 96th Academy Awards came out this week too so the pair share their quick thoughts. Music by Co...

There's an old rule for directors in Hollywood if they want to be content. Make one for the studios then one for themselves. This is the episode for the critics. Adam and Alfie talk about the latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos that's sure to be an Oscar favourite, Poor Things. They also look back on some of his previous movies including The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Music by...

Golden! Globes! Globes made of solid gold, given to the best film folk. Barlow & Walker talk about the winners while the impression count goes through the roof, naturally. They also highlight some of their top actors of all-time. Some GOATs and some with a long, bright career ahead. It's a fun-filled episode and guaranteed to start your weekend off the right way. Music by Coma-Media via  P...

2024 is here and that means a whole new year of movies lies ahead. This week, the boys give their lists of the most anticipated releases including Paddington in Peru and All of Us Strangers. There's also reviews of Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, Godzilla Minus One, Anyone But You and One Life. Yes, episode 2 is jam-packed. Stay tuned for an Elvis singalong...

And they're off! Adam and Alfie's dream of starting a film podcast has finally be realised... hold tight. In the first episode, the boys discuss the year that was 2023. They share their top films, festive traditions and introduce the podcast, Movie On Up. This could be the start of something beautiful! Music by Coma-Media via Pixabay .
