Episode 77 - SLEEPY HOLLOW 20.11.2023 1:24:53

If last week shook our belief in Tim Burton then this week well and truly restored it. This movie is a vibe. Beautifully shot, scripted, acted - this is peak Tim Burton and a great turn from a deep cast. But also a wasted Walken part with no dialogue!

Episode 76 - PLANET OF THE APES (2001) 13.11.2023 1:23:22

Man this movie has really shaken our belief in Tim Burton a little bit. This is not a good movie, but we have a good time dissecting the crap out of it. 2 hours of Mark Wahlberg walking around looking confused.

Episode 75 - DEMOLITION MAN 06.11.2023 1:21:29

Not to be confused with Excavation Man or Deconstruction Man. Pretty damn good Stallone 90;s actioner, much much better than Judge Dredd.

Episode 74 - SPEED 30.10.2023 1:23:36

We feel the need... the need... to review SPEEEEEEED. Peak early Keanu, in what turns out to be an incredibly underrated role. One of the best action movies of the 90's.

Episode 70 - MATILDA 02.10.2023 1:04:30

A little magic goes a long way. This is just a delightful movie from beginning to end - made even more so when you hear the behind the scenes love that Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman had for Mara Wilson.

Classic Episode - JUDGE DREDD (1995) 25.09.2023 2:07:16

So a sorry set of circumstances has led to us not being able to record the Matilda episode as we normally would, so instead we're going to rehash Judge Dredd and pass it off as a "Classic" episode! Let us know if you think this ep is indeed a classic, and we'll be back to normal programming next week.

Special Episode - THROWBACK TO OUR TOPICS OF THE WEEK 31.07.2023 3:43:02

STEP 1 Season the beaten eggs well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a  non-stick frying pan  over a medium-low heat until the butter has melted and is foaming. STEP 2 Pour the eggs into the pan, tilt the pan ever so slightly from one side to another to allow the eggs to swirl and cover the surface of the pan completely.

Episode 61 - THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN 17.07.2023 1:45:53

What should have been the kickstart to a new franchise instead ended the careers of an old actor and a young director! Last chance, does anyone actually read these blurbs? If you read these blurbs then I want you to leave us a rating and a review, and in the review I want you to use the word "KING" in a sentence. If you do that then we'll read out your review and send you a prize. You can get in c...

Episode 60 - KICK-ASS 10.07.2023 1:34:15

THIS EPISODE KICKS ASSSSSS! PUN 1000% INTENDED. This movie turns the superhero genre on it's ear. Humorous, brutal and heart-warming all at the same time - this is definitely one to watch if you haven't seen it. Does anyone actually read these blurbs?
