Oldie But A Goodie

Moana is the latest Disney movie to get the live-action treatment, with Catherine Laga'aia stepping in as the title character and Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Maui. The original only came out 10 years ago, so Sandro went to an early screening to see if this remake brings anything new to the table.

For all of July, Sandro has picked a bunch of Australian movies to review, and we're starting with a film that is truly one of a kind.

When Mr Midnight (Christopher Lee) starts to kick off some evil plans, Captain Invincible works with a Sydney police detective...

As Zach's month of movies comes to an end, we are joined by actor Zac Rose to finally review a Studio Ghibli film. Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Porco Rosso is a classic Japanese anime adventure about an Italian World War I fighter pilot who now looks like a pig. He fights some sky pirates, starts a rivalry with a younger American pilot, and meets a young girl who helps fix up his plane....

Pixar has made another Toy Story movie! This one focuses on Jessie (Joan Cusack).

In Swiss Army Man, Daniel Radcliffe plays a dead body. That concept alone should be enough to interest you, but if you need more, it also stars Paul Dano as a guy who's stranded on an island. It's also directed by Daniels, the duo behind Everything Everwhere All At Once. You need more information? Well, alright, listen to this episode to hear us talk about how good the film is.

It's time to put all critical thinking aside and activate nostalgia mode as we review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams. This sequel to the classic family movie sees Carman and Juni Cortez head off to a mysterious island to recover a dangerous device. As children, we always preferred this adventure-themed sequel, so it's time to see if it holds up as well as we remember. Listen to our review o...

This film tells the story of Adam Glenn (also known as He-Man), who is played by Nicholas Galitzine.

Over the next four weeks, Zach is taking over the show and picking every single movie we review. He kicked off his month with The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, a 3D fueled fever-trip of a children's movie by Robert Rodriguez.

What are we reviewing this week? Oh, only one of the best comedy films ever made! Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a movie about a pretty not great guy starring Michael Cera. He's infatuated with Ramona Flowers, a manic pixie dream girl played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. To date her, he has to defeat all of her exes in a bunch of extravagant action sequences. Written and directed by Edgar Wright, th...

To wrap up our trilogy of Silent Hill movie reviews, we're doing something we've never done before on a regular podcast episode... We're review a movie the same year that it came out! Released in January of 2026, 'Return to Silent Hill' sees Christophe Gans returning to the director's chair to make an adaptation of the classic videogame Silent Hill 2. We're joined by our editor Starkie to see how...

After Zach and Sandro disagreeing on whether or not Silent Hill (2006) was good, it's time for them to disagree all over again about the quality of the sequel, 2012's Silent Hill: Revelation. In this movie, Sean Bean gets kidnapped and taken back to the infamous ghost town, so his daughter Heather (aka Sharon aka Alessa aka Cheryl), played by Adelaide Clemens, has to team up with Kit Harrington to...

In 2006, director Christophe Gans and writer Roger Avary attempted to adapt the classic horror video game Silent Hill. They made a few changes (like the character names and all of the lore and pulling creature designs from different games and also completely rewriting the story), but fans have since praised this film for actually not being that bad. To correctly evaluate this video game movie, we'...

We've reached the end of the Dollars Trilogy, and this is the film that most people have probably seen... It's The Good, The Bad and the Ugly!

The Man With No Name returns for another epic spaghetti western in 1965's For a Few Dollars More. In this one, Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef play two bounty hunters who reluctantly team up to catch a dangerous bank robber. The second entry into the Dollars Trilogy usually gets overlooked, but we reckon it's really good. Listen in to our review to see why! Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes...

Grab your cowboy hat, reload your revolver, then pull on some blue jeans, a poncho, and join us as we embark on a three-part journey through Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. These spaghetti westerns are known for revolutionising the entire genre, as well as for making Clint Eastwood a household name. Our first movie review in this series is 1964's A Fistful of Dollars, where a morally grey cowboy t...

In 1985, the Disney animation studio made a dark fantasy movie that was essentially their version of The Lord of the Rings. Instead of a ring, it features a magical pig and/or a magical cauldron. Instead of a band of warriors and hobbits, it is an incompetent pig-farmer, a really old bard, a princess, and an elderly fairy. Instead of Gollum, it's a talking dog creature, and instead of Sauron, it's...

This week, we venture into the dark for a Muppet movie that not even the most die-hard fans dare to watch... Sandro has avoided this TV film at all costs, as has this week's guest, our good friend Rob Lloyd. But on today's episode, they face their fears and finally review The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Ashanti is Dorothy, Pepe the King Prawn is Toto, and Quentin Tarantino is in a scene for some reason...

Once again, Zach has snuck in another film adaptation of his favourite adventure novel, but this time it has a felt twist. It's Muppet Treasure Island from 1996, directed by Brian Henson. Starring Tim Curry as Long John Silver, this film takes the classic pirate tale but adds in Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and a bunch of your other favourite muppets. We're joined by streamer TrashQuinn to see how t...

Have you ever watched a Muppet movie but wanted it to be more sleazy and messed up? Have you ever wanted to see anthropomorphic animal puppets get involved in drugs, murder, and underground adult films? That's what Peter Jackson must have wanted in 1989 when he made 'Meet the Feebles', a dark comedy from New Zealand about a troupe of performing puppets... that are really awful. Join our Patreon fo...
