The BlokeBusters Podcast

Salutations one and all! It's the time of year for us to bring you a Xmas (or "Holiday", if you prefer) podcast. What could we do this year? Bring you random film critiques? Well, that might have happened, but we decided that we wanted to make this one VERY special. So we invited our new friends from Back To The Podcast to join us for a collaboration! How did it go? Well, you're listening to it! A...

Hello and welcome to a rather special episode of BlokeBusters. Today Brian has done a runner, and so Paul picked up the phone and called his entire contact list. Only one picked up. Luckily, that one turned out to be someone who has spent a fair amount of time on film sets! What followed was an impromptu interview about his career and experiences photographing a film set. Feel free to contact us v...

Hello and welcome to another episode of BlokeBusters! This time we take a break from the light-hearted films of disasters on Earth or in Orbit and go for a slightly darker tale of SPOILERS..... the Xenocide of an entire species. Sounds like fun? Then you'd probably be only slightly more messed up than us. But we attempted to review it anyway! This is, of course, our review of Ender's Game (the fil...

Well folks, we have yet another outing here for you. We decided to brave the vast emptiness of space and watch a disaster film unlike any we've seen before. What do we mean by that? How did we make it to space? What time is it? Some (or maybe even none!) of these questions could possibly be answered inside this inconspicuous audio file! Feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters Facebook:...

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is NOT a joke, it is the one and only (as far as we know) Adam Rifkin who sat down somewhere on the West Coast to talk to us over here on Eastern Standard Time about his newest project. What is that project? Well, since you're reading and not listening, it's a film called Director's Cut, written by the not-so-nice-anymore Penn Jillette and is currently in pre-production...

Why, hello! We're glad you could make it to our latest attempt at making sense of the world of cinema as we know it. This time we decided to have a chat about our own views and opinions on the films made from (or inspired by) books. Obviously we can't talk about all of them in just under 50 minutes, but we try to keep the conversation going based on those we have seen and those we want to see in t...

We have returned from the world of cinema to bring you another instalment of our film review podcast. What delights lay awaiting inside? Well, we went to see The World's End and had quite a bit to say about it! Also, WE HAVE A SPONSOR!!! Thank you VERY much to The EyeShop, specifically the doctor who figured out a way to give us a 10% off code! What is the code? How many people can use it? Is it b...

Today we have a treat for one and all! This outing has us rolling up our sleeves and delving into the murky waters of the Animated film world. What delights will be discovered within? Which animation style will our intrepid hosts prefer? Exactly how does one pronounce "G.I.T.S"? Some, if not all questions will be answered in our newest podcast! Feel free to contact us via: Twitter: @Blokebusters F...

Salutations! Welcome to this outing of BlokeBusters where we decide to cast our (albeit self-proclaimed) expert gaze over the newest X-Men film to date, The Wolverine. We laugh, we chortle, we give our opinions and then we.... well, we don't want to spoil the surprise! Now do forgive the odd noise here and there throughout the recording. A change of location was required, as well as one of our Dyn...

Guten Tag one and all! Welcome to another episode of BlokeBusters. This time we've taken on the mammoth task of dissecting one hell of a deep film. Well, it's about as deep as the ocean anyway! That's right, Pacific Rim is the target of our latest offering. So, what happens when Transformers and Power Rangers/Neon Genesis Evangelion/(insert mecha media of choice) have a child raised by GDT? You'll...

Ah, we love the smell of sulphur in the morning! It smells like... we'd rather not say. So instead, we'd like to welcome you to yet another fine episode of BlokeBusters! This time we take some time out of our busy schedule to let you know what we think about This Is The End. And once we do that, we then cast a quick glance over a few of the previous Apocalypse films Hollywood has offered up. Maybe...

Gooooooooooooood evening/morning/day to you all! We've returned from the ether once again to bring you another film review. What film is it this time? Well, in case you haven't figured it out from the name in the title, it is the latest Superman flick, Man Of Steel. What did we think of the acting? Or how about the new costume? Or the fact that apparently being underwater or in space has no ill ef...

Hello once again, intrepid podcast listeners! 'Tis us once more with another helping of film reviews. This time, we're decided to take on the final frontier. And no, that joke did not make it into our podcast. We may be nerdy, but we're not full-fledged red shirts! As you may have guessed, we've taken it upon ourselves to cast our eyes over Star Trek Into Darkness. What did we think? Was Benedict...

Well, well, well! Step right up and gaze upon another wonderful episode of BlokeBusters! Today we spend some time on the latest in the Robert Downey Jr franchise, otherwise known as Iron Man. What did we think? How did we like the Mark 42 suit? Was The Mandarin REALLY that bad a guy? Some of those questions might possibly be answered inside. So sit back with a really hot cup of tea (and keep your...

Here we are again, on the brink of the Summer Blockbuster season, and before we really launch into it we decided to sit down, relax and get a few things off our chests. Firstly, one of us does have a dog, and she does make an appearance on this podcast. Secondly, how could we expect you to trust us if you didn't know some of the things lurking in our closets? So we sat down and wrote out a list of...

Howdy one and all, and welcome to yet another episode of BlokeBusters. This time we come to you having only watched the new Evil Dead 4 days before recording, so it's very much a fresh memory and our first reactions. Probably our ONLY reaction really, but have a listen to figure out why. We also decide to briefly talk about the original films (emphasise on briefly), as well as touching on where we...

Good day to you all! This time it's just Paul again, sending out a little present for all of you who like us. It's also for those who don't, but they just don't know it! I will be on holiday for the next week and a bit, so there won't be another full episode until after I return. That's why I felt like making this just to give you folks something to listen to while I'm gone. So sit back, relax and...

Hello and welcome once again to another BlokeBusters podcast! This time we've decided to watch The Oscars (And who made that decision? It's the ACADEMY AWARDS!!), think about it for several weeks and then release an episode talking about our favourite Best Picture winners from the long list of winners. What film did Paul pick? How about Brian? And who let the dog loose in the studio? 2 of those qu...

Howdy one and all, and welcome to yet another outing by the not-quite-as-dynamic-as-the-real-dynamic-duo-duo! This time we cast a glance in the direction of the recent Zombie love story that is Warm Bodies. What did we think about this newest Rom-Zom-Com? Well, have a butcher's and find out! We also decided that to best talk about this film, we should also mention a couple of others which have gon...

We're back once again to bring you another film review courtesy of your friendly neighbourhood Film Reviewers! This time we cast our eyes over the latest Quentin Tarantino piece and sit down in front of our mic to tell all. Who played what, what was said and what happened? There's only one way to find out! So stop reading and start listening! Since we haven't stated it on the show recently, a brie...

Hello and welcome to this, the newest episode of BlokeBusters! Inside you will find our two intrepid hosts talking about a fairly underground director by the name of Tim Burton. We're sure many of you have seen a film or two of his and we wanted to give our own insights into the man's works. This is something that we want to do every now and again, so hopefully we'll be doing this a little more of...

Welcome to the first podcast of the New Year! The Gregorian calendar flips over to January once again and we start our 2013 with a review of The Hobbit. Paul and Brian both went to see it, both liked the Lord Of The Rings films, so they should like this one, right? Guess you'll have to find out by giving us a listen! Also starting today, we have a new feature. It's basically a way to possibly let...

Seasons Greetings to you all. Happy insert holiday of choice here and (hopefully) a wonderful New Year. We've decided to release a special podcast for the holidays (think of it as a Christmas gift, or whatever the tradition is you care to follow) wherein we give short reviews of several holiday "classics". Seen it on the TV in the last few weeks? It might end up being talked about inside. So grab...

Good day to you all, and thank you yet again for downloading our humble podcast! This time we figured we'd give you all a treat and review yet another new film. So we headed to the cinema, purchased a drink and some snacks and sat down to watch "Lincoln". What did we think? How did it end? What was all that Top Hat business about? We answer some of those questions (and more) during our longest pod...

This time on DragonBall Z... Goku has disappeared and it's up to our 2 intrepid hosts to give their thoughts on the newest Disney movie "Wreck-It Ralph". Video Games and Cinema come crashing together into one entity, and this time it's actually not about as much fun as playing the Cyberdemon Hell level of Doom 2! To the less video-game informed people out there, that's really not that much fun at...
