Is it better than Space Jam? Welcome to the end of season two folks, and we go out with a cold, windy and wet movie. The Day After Tomorrow was a big talking point back in 2004, when Climate Change was all the rage (it still is, but you know).

Is it better than Space Jam? #SaveCoyoteVsAcme Right, now that's out of the way, let us deep dive into another cartoon/live action affair, this time with a film which feels like a spiritual sequel to Space Jam.

Is it better than Space Jam? On this podcast, we compare films to Space Jam , but in our opinion, Space Jam would not exist if it weren't for this cartoon crime caper. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is a masterpiece of storytelling from Zemeckis and Spielberg , mixing live action detective work with animated tomfoolery and it remains a high point in animated movie history, but one question remains;...

Is it better than Space Jam? The Merc with the Mouth is back! And this time, they let him speak!

Is it better than Space Jam? As another year draws to a close, it can only mean one thing; THE GOLDEN BISCUIT AWARDS 2023! 2023 has been a very mixed bag, with strikes, failing franchises and cancellations galore but that doesn't mean that there haven't been any good films.

Home Alone is a family favourite around this time of year, so we decided to make it our final Christmas episode of 2023. A very funny, slapstick ridden comedy with more heart than most, Home Alone is a high point for mos...

Is it better than Space Jam? Time to eat your onions and bump your loathing till 9!! A holiday favourite since its release, The Grinch is a staple of the festive film season, with Jim Carrey donning a hell of a lot of yak hair and chewing the beautiful scenery.

Is it better than Space Jam? PUT THE COOKIE DOWN!! Ladies & Gentlemen, it has been an absolute pleasure revisiting Jingle All The Way . A film where retailers get the final say!

Join us, as we talk about the movie that made Turbo Man a household name, and find out the a...

Is it better than Space Jam? Here's your golden ticket...now run...RUN HOME CHARLIE!  Hollywood's latest attempt to squeeze life out of an already dead franchise has just arrived in cinemas.
