The BlokeBusters Podcast

Hi folks, it's Paul here. A little while ago, a Twitter thread got going from another podcast's conversation which lead to what has become a new passion project for everyone involved. It's a Film Quiz podcast where other film review podcasts go head to head to discover who is the best at knowing film stuff. This first season has 8 teams and this first episode has the brilliant OGT Podcast and Cine...

Well folks, Paul once more got to see a film in the cinema (we know, it's almost becoming a regular film review podcast!), and he's here to talk about it. Once more he's had Pat come on as the (now on retainer) comic book expert to help review it. It is, of course, Deadpool 2. So, what did they think? Was it as good as the first one? Was the suit as tight as last time? Who was The Vanisher? You'll...

Howdy folks! Once again we've gone back to the old episodes to bring you a fun episode that you may have missed. This time it's our Edge Of Tomorrow/Live Die Repeat review, where we begrudgingly accept that Tom Cruise actually can give a good performance! We hope you'll enjoy this blast from the past! As always, feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters Facebook: .com/BlokeBusters Instag...

Hello one and all. Welcome to this very special episode of BlokeBusters. Paul and his good friend Pat are huge anime fans, so they like to talk about anime. Then they realised that there's a microphone they could use to record these conversations sitting right there! You can probably guess what happened next. And so, the first in (probably) a new series was born! We hope you'll enjoy listening to...

Well folks, it was bound to happen. Due to one thing or another, we had to delay an Infinity War review and with Brian's sabbatical it seemed like it may not happen at all. But then a good friend of Paul's (one nerdier than himself, somehow!) stepped up to the plate and helped to deliver a comic book lover's insight to this culmination of 10 years (10 YEARS!!) of films from the Marvel franchise. N...

Well folks, it's finally here! The film that we helped to crowd-fund all those years ago has finally been released. Paul and Bob Lawler (fellow crowd-funder, actor and Associate Producer of DC) sat down to discuss what is probably the most unique film that will be reviewed on this podcast. Written by Penn Jillette, directed by the (very gracious) Adam Rifkin and funded by many fine people like our...

Short and sweet. Paul has an announcement about the podcast moving forward. Don't worry, it's still going on. It's just going to be a little different for a while. Hopefully you'll understand once you've listened!

Well folks, we're back. Kinda. This is a new thing we'll be doing from time to time where we take an older episode from our feed and bring it to you once more. We fully acknowledge that not everyone listens to every episode from our feed. So we're going to take a few occasions to bring the best of our old episodes to you once more. We hope you'll enjoy this episode from 2013 where Paul and Brian w...

They're back! Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Olaf have returned and we're back to review it. Brian couldn't make it to the recording, but B-Rob has come back to help us go over a few of the talking points from this latest series. We hope you all enjoy it! Feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters & @ItsBRob Facebook: .com/BlokeBusters & .com/RandomRobcast Instagram: Blokebusters &...

Howdy folks, we're glad to see you again! We thought we'd celebrate you listening to us by reviewing Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets. That might not have been the brightest idea we've ever had, but at least we follow through! So here's our thoughts on the latest Luc Besson flick, totally unfiltered and 100% interesting. Well, 90-100% anyway! As always, feel free to contact us via: Twit...

Welcome to another episode of BlokeBusters. This time around we wanted to talk about a lovely, calm, charming film. So we watched The Girl With All The Gifts. We'll tell you one thing, it's a very cool film. Inside this episode, we talk about the writing, the pacing, the acting and why this is a PLAGUE film. No zombies in sight here, my fine friends! As always, feel free to contact us via: Twitter...

Well folks, we've done it again. We've recorded a review about something that's not even been out for 2 weeks! How do we do it? Anyway, this time we focus on the film Ready Player One. This nostalgia trip had us a little divided, so you know it's a good one! So what did we think? Too many throwbacks, not enough substance? What was the point of King Kong without an animated Faye Wray? You'll need t...

Well folks, we're back again! Paul had a free day and rented a little film called Blade Runner 2049. Then Brian and Paul sat down to record their feelings on the sequel that nobody thought would happen and everyone was anxious about. So what did they think? Was it worth their time? Is it worth yours? How much does a Joi cost anyway? You'll have to listen in to find out! As always, feel free to con...

Well folks, we're back with one of our favourite series that we do. Sadly Brian was unable to make the recording session, but Paul soldiered on and persevered. He got a rather lovely and energetic lady known as Jacquelyn Landgraf (or, to those of you who have listened to It Makes A Sound, Deidre Gardner) to come on and talk about a film she loves and a film she,,,, maybe doesn't? And along the way...

Well folks, once again we've actually managed to do a podcast on a film that's been out less than a month! We dragged ourselves to the cinema to watch Marvel's take on the Black Panther. And, because we know you're bored of just us after over 100 episodes, we decided to drag B-Rob back with us to help us digest what we saw. So, what did we think? Did it live up to the hype? Was Wakanda a simple, t...

Well folks, some said we'd never make it. But here we are. 99 regular episodes after our inaugural review, we've hit 100. It's taken us just under 6 years, but we're finally here. We wanted to do something special to mark the occasion, so here's us taking a quick look back at our catalogue and bringing up the good, the bad and some random things as well (because that's how we roll, baby!). Thank y...

Well folks, here it is. It's the second half of our Season 4 review of Black Mirror with Kealeen. This one has us covering the latter half of the season, namely Hang The DJ, Metalhead and Black Museum. So, what did we think? Did it hold up as well as the first half? What was our feelings on that last episode? How does this season feel compared to the others? Will we ever stop talking? At least som...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we're back! This time we've pulled Kealeen out from her underground bunker to talk about Black Mirror once more. And we spent so much time doing so that you're getting 2 episodes for the price of one! This episode has us covering the first 3 episodes in the newly released Season 4 of Black Mirror, a show which makes us really worry for the future of mankind. So enjoy! Feel fr...

Well folks, this is a special treat for you. We love doing the UONAAA's every year and this year we realised something. You guys actually might like to hear some of the discussion that goes into the awarding of the awards. So here is a little snippet of our lengthy conversation from before we officially hit record!

Well folks, we're back once again with our annual Unofficial Official Non-Academy Awards Awards! Us and the guys from Back To The Podcast got back together to record our take on the previous year's films and who should take home the gold. So, who won? Who got nominated? Who got to host? Well, you'll have to listen in to find out! Feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters Facebook: BlokeB...

Well folks, we're almost there! It's episode 99 (one shy of a century of podcasts) and we decided to do something very special. By which, of course, we mean something that we've done 98 times before. We quickly decided on a film and then reviewed it! This time we're focusing on Netflix's new Will Smith vehicle, Bright. What did we think? Was it worth the price of admission? Was the racism handled...

Well folks, we made it through 2017. So, to mark the occasion, we decided to take a look at the last year. We talk about our favourite episodes, how we felt it went, what we want to think of going forward and (most importantly) thanking our wonderful guests. We hope you'll indulge us as we indulge ourselves by diving into BlokeBusters of 2017! Feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters Fa...

Howdy folks. Welcome to a rather interesting episode of Franch-Fried. This time around we're covering the 1973 film Battle For The Planet Of The Apes. We've got very interesting costumes, rather odd editing choices, a slew of continuity problems and probably the biggest exaggeration in the history of this podcast. And, for long time listeners, that's saying something! We also announce something th...

Well folks, we're back (along with our lovely guest Janelle Meghan) with our review of Season 2 of Stranger Things. So, what did we think of the new additions? Was there anything missing? What was our favourite bit of costume design? You'll need to listen in to find out! Feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters Facebook: BlokeBusters Instagram: @Blokebusters Email: theblokes@blokebuster...

Welcome to the first part of our extensive look into the world of Stranger Things! In this episode we cover Season 1, with a little (ok, a lot of) help from our good friend Janelle Meghan. We dive into characters, settings, nostalgia and plot. So those of you who haven't seen Stranger Things yet, please do watch it first. You have been warned! The promotional poster for this episode was made by Mi...
