The Biscuits and Blurays Podcast: A New Legacy

Is it better than Space Jam? Don't irritate him. You wouldn't like him when he irritated.  Number two of the MCU , but of course, we didn't know it at the time, the Hulk hasn't really had it easy on the big screen...until now? The big, green boy gets a slightly better outing this time, with Edward Norton doing a lot of the heavy lifting (though not quite as much as the location...

Is it better than Space Jam? We were able to record this in a cave...with a box of scraps!! We're back folks, and it's finally time, after years of putting it off, to have a little look at this little franchise called the MCU . And what a franchise, with each movie release snowballing into the next and becoming bigger than Hula Hoops, but we start with a man, made of iron. Released in 20...

Is it better than Space Jam? You knock me offa my feet now baby! Hooooooo!!! Folks, you know who's all the rage at the moment? Michael Jackson . A biopic has just hit the big screen because we needed another biopic. As we haven't seen that yet, and probably won't be seeing it for a while, Jade and I stayed at home and watched Michael Jackson's other...biopic? Moonwalker needs t...

Is it better than Space Jam? Why do all the trailers drop around the same time?! We're back, this time with another Trailer Talk episode, and usually we'd talk about each trailer in its own episode. However, due to there being so many trailers recently, all for IPs we care about, we slapped them together in this episode for you. From previously cancelled movies, to faces made of clay and...

Is it better than Space Jam? Fist my bump. After finally getting some sort of sleeping pattern with our child, we managed to sit down and record an episode, and what a movie we have picked. Project Hail Mary is the latest from the team behind 21 Jump Street and Ryan Gosling, in another banger of an Andy Weir adaptation and is currently riding so high at the top of the box office charts. In this ep...

Is it better than Space Jam? Yay!! No more Star Wars episodes...for a while. We have now finally covered every single Star Wars movie and we end on a fizzle instead of a bang. The Rise of Skywalker completely rewrites what came before (you know, like sequels shouldn't do) and tries to appeal to everyone whilst also appealing to no one.  JJ Abrams is back at the helm on a severe course correct...

Is it better than Space Jam? It's time for the Jedi...to end. We're getting into the thick of it now. Here goes; This is our Last Jedi episode. Let it be known we are fans of this film so if you're looking for a rant, you're not gonna get one (until next week). The Last Jedi is the most divisive Star Wars movie and fans are treating it like marmite; you either love it or you ha...

Is it better than Space Jam? Chewie...We're home. We're finally getting back to the Star Wars movies now, this time under the watchful eye of a certain cartoon mouse. The sequel trilogy is considered by many to be a bit of a fumble but at the time, Star Wars was back with a bang! With J.J. Abrams leading the way and Kathleen Kennedy pulling the strings, there is no way this new trilogy c...

Is it better than Space Jam? We're back, and we've some awards to dish out. Obviously, with a brand new year, we like to celebrate the year of cinema we were just treated to with an award ceremony that rivals that of the Academy . From horror to superheroes, from drama to comedy, every film that we saw last year is in the running and we think we've been very fair this year.  We&apos...

Is it better than Space Jam? Snow dad's better than no dad. Christmas movies are all about jolly old Saint Nicks and Grumpy old Scrooges. Take a minute and spare a thought for the snowmen who don't really get the love they deserve. And this one's in a band! Michael Keaton is a snowman. That's the movie. The guy who played Batman once is now a snowman. Half of this household lik...

Is it better than Space Jam? Come in and know me better, man! Christmas is here and, like many people, a family favourite around this holiday season is The Muppet Christmas Carol . And why shouldn't it be? The Henson company is in fresh new hands and we're off to a flying start with Brian Henson taking the lead. The usual suspects are all here. Kermit , Miss Piggy , Gonzo & Rizzo but...

Is it better than Space Jam? What's this? What's this? A Christmas episode? Tim Burton fans everywhere, rejoice ! We're finally talking about a film he had a huge hand in making but didn't actually direct! The Nightmare Before Christmas is the best possible film we could think of to slowly transition out of musical month and into the festive season. And with stop motion animati...

Is it better than Space Jam? There's gonna be some big old spoilers in this one, folks! It's here! We made it! We held in the baby long enough to see the latest Wicked movie! A year has flown by since the world was plunged into the land of Oz and now, here we are again, older, wiser and much much darker. The intermission is over and Act 2 has begun. Wicked's second act, for us perso...

Is it better than Space Jam? Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more. Musical month continues here at Biscuits & Blurays and as we slowly wait for Wicked: For Good to come out, what better time to talk about the film that started it all? A timeless classic and one that has been seen by billions of people (it came out in 1939 so take that with a pinch of salt) The Wizard of...

Is it better than Space Jam? I hope Disney know my cinema seat is still warm from the first time I watched this... Another day, another Disney live action remake, and with it being Musical Month over here at this podcast, it fits in perfectly. In a desperate scramble to recover some money from their recent flops (let's face it, that's what it is) Moana is the latest Disney classic to be...

Is it better than Space Jam? Come with me and you'll be in a world of Pure Imagination. Folks, the spooky season is over. Did you enjoy it? Good! And as we're mid show week in our every day lives, let's talk about musicals this month. First up, let's chat about Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . Usually watched around Easter but after building the Lego set, let's br...

Is it better than Space Jam? Happy Halloween Everybody!! Five episodes we've done over this spooky season and what a season it's been. The most wonderful time of the year so let's celebrate by reviewing one of the most talked about films of the year. Weapons is a movie by Zach Cregger , director of Barbarian , and he given us a gift this year. A horror mystery that, honestly, split...

Is it better than Space Jam? Scream if you wanna go Aster! Our penultimate Halloween this year and it's one of my favourites. Ladies and gentlemen, Ari Aster has entered the game. With some rousing performances that made everyone sit up and take notice (except the Academy) Hereditary is a slow burn in typical Aster fashion but what a ride it is. Such a ride in fact, it makes you want to stick...

Is it better than Space Jam? You'll Float Two would have been a better title. We are still very much in spooky season and what kind of Halloween would it be without Pennywise the Dancing Clown (it just accured to me he doesn't dance in this one so the name needs changing, sir.) IT: Chapter Two was highly anticpated and with that long wait comes an extended run-time, a de-aged Finn Wolfha...

Is it better than Space Jam? Now don't close your eyes, and don't try to hide... Our second Halloween episode is here and it's time we travel back to when Disney used to make films based on their rides. Pirates of the Caribbean came first and shivered everyone's timbers. Hey, I know! Let's make a family film based on The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy . Great idea,...

Is it better than Space Jam? Can I Keep You? We're back from a little break folks, and we had a swell time. So much so that we almost forgot that we just entered the spookiest time of the year; October . To celebrate, we're pushing back our Tron episodes (we didn't really fancy watching them in the end) and we're giving you 5 Halloween episodes this year. Welcome to the first o...

Is it better than Space Jam? Yippie-yi-yay!! Yippie-yi-o!!  Finally, you guys voted and the time is here! Twisters!! Jade has been pleading for us to cover this film on the podcast since we saw it in cinemas and after much delaying, it finally won the public poll for the next episode.  Now, I didn't expect to enjoy this film as much as I did but what a blockbuster! Tornadoes are a subject of...

Is it better than Space Jam? The chances of getting a believable performance from Ice Cube are a million to one, he said... We are very late to the party on this one but when we saw they made another adaptation of H.G. Wells ' iconic story, this time with more Ice Cube , we scoffed and chose not to watch it. Then curiosity set in... Filmed during lockdown when everyone was busy buying loo rol...

Is it better than Space Jam? Dogs and Cats living together; mass hysteria!! We’re throwing it back in this episode to the early 00’s when CGI was a mixed bag and family films were…special. This week’s episode is no exception. Cats & Dogs is a short and sweet movie about, well, cats and dogs, going at it like they have for centuries. The difference here? I don’t know, some spy stuff too. And Go...

Is it better than Space Jam? There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea. We made it guys! We made it to the Batman film that features Kiss From A Rose ! The last of our episodes on the Dark Knight (for this season at least), we're finally looking at Batman Forever , a complete change in style from what came before and Kilmer 's in the cowl! As Batman faces off against three of his...
