Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!

An obscure Japanese film that (roundabout-ly?) inspired one of the most popular horror video game franchises understandably has Jamie salivating this week on SFFCH. Indeed, everyone sees the potential that Sweet Home emanates and after watching it we truly think we have found something unique for a supernatural Japanese Horror film: boring-ness. Though there is … Continue reading "417: Suwīt...

It’s finally time to scrutinize and interrogate our first Vincent Price film and it’s one where he, as a 50-something year old man, is playing a real historical figure in his 20s. Movie magic, aye?! Fair play to him though, it’s a cracking performance. We all thought Witchfinder General was going to be a campy … Continue reading "416: Witchfinder General [1968] Movie D...

Yes, we know it’s really dumb. Yes, we know it’s pretty ‘out there’ and yes, we know that none of this should really work, but the planets and stars have really aligned to make Wanted an incredibly entertaining experience that we all get a kick out of here at at SFFCH. So come and listen … Continue reading "415: Wanted [2008] Movie Discussion"

Well, this aint our first submarine movie so we’ll dispense with the usual jokes about things being long and hard and full of seamen. Shame this movie doesn’t dispense with the poor humour. You don’t see Kelsey Grammer in movies much, do you? Not unless he’s hairy and blue anyways. Down Periscope is a movie … Continue reading "414: Down Periscope [1996] Movie Dis...

We all know director Blake Edwards here at Spoiler Filled more for his crazy comedies, but he does have a few extra things tucked into his bag of tricks. Things like the neo-noir Experiment in Terror, a surprisingly effective thriller from 1962. (Yeah, we thought it was gonna be a horror movie too) This time … Continue reading "413: Experiment in Terror [1962] Movie Discussion"

Some of us here at SFFCH LOVED this film when we only had small, not fully formed brains decades ago. Somewhere over the years, the memories faded and it was lost to obscurity. But this week, like a terrible repressed memory, this film claws it’s way back to the surface and we must deal with … Continue reading "412: Freddie as F.R.O.7 [1992] Movie Discussion"

This week we turn the big eye of SFFCH on The Small World of Sammy Lee, a British crime dramedy from 1963 about a cheeky chancer and his desperate attempts to raise a lot of money in a short time to not be beaten to a pulp. Will he succeed or succumb to his brutal … Continue reading "411: The Small World of Sammy Lee [1963] Movie Discussion"

We all love racing films, right? Especially how they are all so different and don’t rely on the exact same climax in every film, right? Sarcasm aside, we’re sure there are some really good racing films out there, but Days of Thunder ain’t one of them, by our reckoning at least. We mean, if you’re … Continue reading "410: Days of Thunder [1990] Movie Discussion"

A film hasn’t ticked as many SFFCH boxes as Lair of the White Worm has in a while. Big actors before they were famous, laughable dream sequences, a ridiculous villain, cheap special effects, unplaceable accents, a peculiar theme song and the seemingly inability to settle on a tone between: comedy or horror, serious or wacky, … Continue reading "409: Lair of the White Worm [1988] Movie&...

Time to find out who among the Spoiler Filled Crew are true McConaugheads as we take a look at Mud, one of the films that kicked off The McConaissance. So come and listen to us McConalyze this Southern coming-of-age drama and find out: why we’re so McConaccepting about weird nicknames as Welsh people, who gets … Continue reading "408: Mud [2012] Movie Discussion"

What shall we have from Japan this time; those crazy, weird and wonderful bunch? What about a beautiful anime? Or a chilling horror film? Or maybe a big, stupid monster movie? I know, what about a satirical drama about the caramel business?! So yeah, we’re going a little out of the box this time with … Continue reading "407: Giants and Toys a.k.a Kyojin to gangu [1958] Movie Discu...

We just remembered that Billy Bob Thornton exists and that he’s great at all this acting malarkey whilst also being a very peculiar human being. And he also writes and directs stuff too! So how could we not set our twitchy sights over One False Move from 1992 and see who is the first to … Continue reading "406: One False Move [1992] Movie Discussion"

It’s a right ol’ cult classic is Krull, aye! When you say 80’s Fantasy movie this is definitely one of the first ones to pop into your head. Is that because it’s so well made and entertaining? Is it because it’s iconic? Is it just because of nostalgia? Or is it one of those ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ … Continue reading "405: Krull [1983] Movie Dis...

The perfect Christmas movie would definitely have a little bit of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, a touch of ‘A Christmas Carol’, a whole heap of unexplainable Crimbo ‘magic’, a smattering of ‘angelic figures’ and finished with a sweet layer of ‘lessons learned’. Throw in Nicolas Cage as a cherry on top and where could you … Continue...

As Christmas slowly approaches, we here at Spoiler Filled think it’s important to remember what this holiday is truly about. It’s Jesus. In case you were wondering. We’re doing The Last Temptation of Christ. It’s funny because it’s clearly an inappropriate choice for either a Christmas film or a Jesus film. We’re a laugh riot … Continue reading "403: The L...

Before he helped Marvel take over the world as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr had been kicking around Hollywood for a long time. We wanted to go back and see a fresh faced RDJ before the super-stardom and his ‘wilderness years’ shall we say. What we found was Heart and Souls, a supernatural comedy about … Continue reading "402: Heart and Souls [1993] Movie Discussion"

Yar-Har and fiddle-dee-dee me hearties. Welcome to (hopefully) the start of our next batch of 100 discussions here on Spoiler Filled. We kick off on our road to 500 with Treasure Island from 1990, which purports to be the most faithful movie adaptation of the 1883 novel. The question is: is being totally faithful to … Continue reading "401: Treasure Island [1990] Movie Discussion"

It finally happened! We delved too greedily and too deep into the pits of moviedom that we ran out of them and awakened a foul beast: The Remake. So, from now on, be prepared for us to just simply re-do out entire catalogue, repeating the same old stuff whilst only adding superfluous nonsense that wasn’t … Continue reading "400: Batman Forever [1995] Movie Discussion – Redux...

Spooky Season rears it’s ugly, burned, maggot-filled, decapitated head once again and we here at SFFCH are ready to vanquish it the best way we know how: make a damned podcast. This time our sights are set on the Horror Anthology Movie, a classic staple of the genre, with the 70’s British film Asylum. Re-animated … Continue reading "399: Asylum [1972] Movie Discussion"

He’ll never learn, that boy! What Jamie describes as a ‘morbid fascination’ the rest of us agree would be better classed as a fetish by now: watching video game movie adaptations! Once again, we swim in this bog of sewage hoping to one day find a nugget of gold and this time we have dredged … Continue reading "398: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time [2010] Movie Discu...

It’s time to not talk about Mel Gibson (unsuccessfully) this time on Spoiler Filled as we probe into M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, a film about grief and faith wrapped up in an alien invasion movie. Now, we know its cool to hate on Shyamalan, but this time we’re gonna be uncharacteristically nice and consider whether … Continue reading "397: Signs [2002] Movies Discussio...

A long, long time ago, at the birth of Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray, we all agreed that if we were ever to cover a Disney Animated film it was going to be The Black Cauldron. A movie based on a story based on Welsh mythology which allegedly almost bankrupted the now massive business juggernaut. … Continue reading "396: The Black Cauldron [1985] Movie Discussion"

How do you make some of our squeamish members of the podcast enjoy a gory 80’s horror sci-fi film? The answer: turn it into a wacky comedy half way through. We all came to Re-Animator for the delightfully campy and deranged performance of Jeffrey Combs who never fails to deliver, but we never expected his … Continue reading "395: Re-Animator [1985] Movie Discussion"

Time to join the bandwagon pretty late again here on the podcast as we re-evaluate the career of Brendan Fraser (even though we don’t do too much of it) as we rediscover the under appreciated Airheads from 1994. We get: Adam Sandler probably at his least ‘Adam Sandler’, an unexpected and extended Die Hard parody, … Continue reading "394: Airheads [1994] Movie Discussio...

Get ready for the quickest tangent towards erections we’ve ever had here on Spoiler Filled as we jump into bed with Light Sleeper, a Paul Schrader crime drama from 1992. This time there is: bemusement at the weird middle-class drug dealer lifestyles, wonderings about what superheroes would be putting in their diaries, discussions about the … Continue reading "393: Light Sleeper [1992]...
