Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!

Before everyone started jumping on the Multiverse bandwagon, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kicked off the action with Turtles Forever. Come and listen to us all nostalgically reflect on our childhoods of watching the original Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles cartoon (we are British don’t you know, and can’t be dealing with all this ninja nonsense) … Continue reading "364: Turtles F...

We can do this the easy way…or we can do The Hard Way. We don’t get to see Michael J. Fox films very often so how about we watch one where he plays an actor. Not much a stretch you might be thinking, but pit him up against gritty cop James Woods in a buddy … Continue reading "363: The Hard Way [1991] Movie Discussion"

No, it’s got nothing to do with that annoying song. Thankfully the title is ironic as you’ll only find grizzly, scowling cops in The Laughing Policeman. Why does Walter Mattheu always end up playing surprisingly cool characters in the films we pick? Why are 70’s film always so great? How does Bruce Dern always pull … Continue reading "362: The Laughing Policeman [1973] Movi...

Ironweed. We came for the Tom Waits, we stayed for the bleakness and depression. Well, we actually stayed to do a podcast, but would we have if that wasn’t the case with this well made but clearly oscar-baiting movie about tramps? Come and find out in our discussion which includes: imagining Jack Nicholson’s breath, emotional … Continue reading "361: Ironweed [1987] Movie Di...

Have we ever done a pirate film? We must have done a pirate film, right?! How have we never done a pirate film!??! Well, let’s be honest, if we did one from the last few decades we would have been very disappointed. Luckily we went back all the way to the Fifites for The Crimson … Continue reading "360: The Crimson Pirate [1952] Movie Discussion"

Irish films generally come in two flavours: gritty working class drama or magical mythical fantasy. But what happens if you mix them both together for a bit of magical realism? And by mix them both together we mean inserting a debatably magic horse into the story of down on their luck travelers. Well, you get … Continue reading "359: Into The West [1992] Movie Discussion"

Spooky Time is upon us again and this time we have chosen to dissect one of the works of Horror Master Wes Craven. The question is are we getting gritty exploitative Wes Craven or goofy Wes Craven as we lose ourselves in the labyrinth of The People Under The Stairs. Turns out its a bit … Continue reading "358: The People Under The Stairs [1991] Movie Discussion"

We have an Upgrade thrust upon on this week at SFFCH, but don’t worry because, whilst it does take over an hour and a half to complete, we think it is well worth it for a change. So come and join us as we: wonder what it would be like to have the Microsoft paperclip … Continue reading "357: Upgrade [2018] Movie Discussion"

We’ve earned the privilege of being allowed into The Big Room this time on Spoiler Filled, so we decided to put on Ruthless People really loud, a movie that seemingly invented the stereotypical 80’s aesthetic while also lampooning it at the same time. Although, what would you expect from a Zucker/Abrams production. In store for … Continue reading "356: Ruthless People [1986] Movi...

Sometimes you just have to be amazed at just what someone can create and persuade people to do in the face on so many artistic and financial hurdles. Honestly, we are just kinda impressed by the gumption it takes to make a movie like StarCrash, despite it turning out to be the hot mess of … Continue reading "355: Starcrash [1978] Movie Discussion"

Ancient mystical martial arts meets the world of gangster pop music in The Last Dragon, a movie that is like constantly switching channels between watching a kung-fu B-Movie and music videos on MTV. In this discussion, be prepared for: very undefined mystical martial arts powers, video arcade gangsters, getting put in the bin and getting … Continue reading "354: The Last Dragon [1985] Movie&...

Time to talk an incredibly long time about The Incredible Shrinking Man! What should have been just a silly B-Movie turns out to have a little more depth than we expected. Tune in to hear about: the perils of mixing Nuclear glitter and pesticides, the amusements of seeing a tiny man sit on a huge … Continue reading "353: The Incredible Shrinking Man [1957] Movie Discussion"

What’s this? An actual good movie that people have heard of! What are we thinking?! Well, we attempt to jump out of our comfort zone of watching obscure or weird toned movies and see if we have anything to say about Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece Rashamon. And it turns out, like always, we have a lot … Continue reading "352: Rashomon [1950] Movie Discussion"

Time for a half remembered childhood film to be thrown under the bus again this week on Spoiler Filled as we explore Babes in Toyland, a 1961 Disney musical about nursery rhymes and lots of other nonsense. Be prepared for: awkward goose puppets, rip-off Laurel and Hardy, extolling the benefits of child labour, selling people … Continue reading "351: Babes In Toyland [1961] Movie Discuss...

Did your movie turn out out too short? That’s OK, just splice in some footage from another movie, nobody could possibly notice! Wizards Of The Lost Kingdom is a dumpster fire of a movie, there can be no denying it, but by God is it fascinatingly weird and terrible. Seductress insectoids, forced cyclops weddings, manticores … Continue reading "350: Wizards Of The Lost Kingdom [1985] Mov...

It’s time for our regular jaunt down to New Zealand here on the podcast and this time we are looking at the classic Goodbye Pork Pie, a comedy, crime roadtrip movie spanning the length of the country in a slowly deteriorating Mini. They certainly don’t make ’em like they used to!

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, aideu.(Get it? The Long Goodbye? Aren’t I clever?!) We do love the 70’s here at Spoiler Filled and especially gritty American movies about mumbling criminals and detectives. Throw in some Robert Altman and Elliot Gould and you have a sure-fire winner for us. So come and listen as we discuss … Continue reading "348: The Long Goodbye [1973] Movie...

Somehow we all agree that The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension is not a good film and yet we don’t agree whether we actually like it or not. Come and find out how that can be so in a film about a brain surgeon/rocket scientist/rock star and his eccentric band of merry … Continue reading "347: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension [1984] Movie&...

Hey! Remember Freejack? from 1992? Emilio Estevez? Time travel? No? Well, there’s a good reason for that seeing as it is so forgettable, but we are here to remind you about some of the things worth remembering like: eagle-man hobo, Amanda Plummer’s foul-mouthed nun, Mick Jagger saying ‘asshole’, some terrible editing and Mike from Breaking … Continue reading "346: Fre...

Ah, the surprise twist! Sometimes it blows your mind and makes a movie a lot better. And sometimes it’s practically given away half way through the film and, if you think about it enough, it makes everything that happened in the film highly elaborate, unethical and irresponsible. Well, that’s the case with Martin Scorsese’s Shutter … Continue reading "345: Shutter Island [2...

What better way to introduce David Lynch to the podcast than to take a look at one of the least ‘David Lynch-ian’ David Lynch films? Now, if that sentence didn’t make much sense to you, then you’ll probably have no hope when it comes to unraveling the weirdness that is Dune from 1984. But then, … Continue reading "344: Dune [1984] Movie Discussion"
