The #NOTwatching Podcast

In a fifth outing for Ethan Hunt and his IMF friends, Tom Cruise & Co face off against the mysterious Syndicate - queue outrageous action sequences and stylish set-pieces galore. Can Cruise's signature stunts, Pegg's comic relief and newcomer Rebecca Ferguson's old hollywood charm stick the landing once again? This latest episode of the #NOTwatching Podcast is yours to listen to - should you choos...

It's no secret that Marvel's latest was once the work of Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, but when 'creative differences' led to those two parting ways with the Mega Studio, it was up to Peyton Reid and his unlikely cast to bring their ideas to to the big screen - not to mention a few inspiring additions of their own. On this week's appropriately diminutive #NOTwatching Podcast, it's all about the An...

In the interest of full disclosure this show was actually recorded a fair few weeks back, but we've had a job fitting it into the schedule with so many massive movies coming out and certain big shows wrapping up. It's no less relevant though, especially since one of the shows hasn't even officially started yet (Supergirl), one of them will now join the pantheon of classic TV shows (Mad Men) and on...

There's no disputing that this year's resurrection of the 'Jurassic' franchise has been financially successful - it broke all the box office records on opening weekend, is currently the world's third highest grossing movie of all time and a follow-up is well & truly on the way. The question really though, is whether or not it was really any good or not surely? On this week's #NOTwatching Podcast,...

On this week's show we delve into some recent TV news, including the announcement of The Punisher being a part of Daredevil's second season, the cancellation of NBC's Hannibal and some more speculation on the ultimate fate of Clarkson & Co's spiritual successor to Top Gear. All this and more on another TV-newstastic #NOTwatching Podcast! Punisher cast in Daredevil season 2 http://www.denofgeek.com...

It's a sad time for the #NOTwatching Podcast when we have to say goodbye to so many legends at once: Sir Christopher Lee and Patrick Macnee recently passed away, both at the age of 93, leaving behind vast bodies of work. Meanwhile composer James Horner, who arguably scored a good portion of our lives, died tragically in a Plane Crash at the comparatively young age of 61. It's not all doom and gloo...

Season 5 concluded a few weeks ago, but the events of those final two episodes are still echoing around the internet. Where is [SPOILER]? Is [SPOILER] really [SPOILER]? Will [SPOILER]'s [SPOILER] ever return? Suffice it to say there's nothing for you here if you're not caught up on Game of Thrones. Let the [SPOILER]fest commence!!! Game of Thrones http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947 Contact us on...

On this week's show: Agent Carter finally has a UK air-date (and it's tonight!), Lynch has enough money to make the Twin Peaks reboot the way he wants to, Fox is bringing back more of their old back catalogue and there's a Limitless TV show in the works featuring Bradley Cooper himself! ...all this and more on another news-packed #NOTwatching Podcast! Twin Peaks is back on http://tvline.com/2015/0...

It's another movie news extravaganza on this week's show, kicking off with the announcements of a whole bunch of sequels, including follow-ups to Mad Max: Fury Road and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. There's also the usual quota of superhero movie updates, including who exactly will be in Captain America: Civil War, details on how the next two Avengers movies will be shot and who we know now defi...

With Season 5 of HBO's epic fantasy drama having concluded this week, we thought it would be a good time to discuss it in detail. Please note that this show was recorded just after episode 8: Hardhome aired, so you'll have to wait for a future show before we get into the shocking death of [SPOILER], the timely return of [SPOILER], that truly harrowing [SPOILER] of [SPOILER] and our thoughts on wha...

It's been out a few weeks now, but George Miller's return to the post apocalyptic wasteland is still riding high in the Box Office charts. Why? Because it's pretty much what cinema was invented for? Probably. Because it redefines the entire action movie genre? Almost certainly. Because it's a visual feast of a movie that will have you grinning like an idiot for it's entire duration? Easily. Suffic...

With Marvel 'bringing it' with the Avengers for a second time round this summer, we thought it might be time for us to take stock of their efforts so far and pit their movies one against another in a no-holds-barred fight to the death. There can be only one this week: which Marvel Superhero will rule them all on this week's #NOTwatching Podcast! This episode is powered by Flickchart. Check out our...

Remember the days when if a movie was successful it would justify a sequel? Oh perhaps when such a sequel was successful enough to justify a trilogy? Well those days are well and truly over - today it's all about cinematic universes spread across multiple films in a year. In the context of Superhero mythologies, this makes perfect sense because the source material has been doing it for years and M...

Like the extended cast of current summer blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron itself, we assembled the glorious B Team this week to discuss Marvel's latest in detail, spoilers n' all. We cannot make it clear enough how much you do #NOT want to listen to this before you see the movie and if you haven't seen it yet, then what are you doing? Get thee to thy multiplex at once puny human! (as a certain...

On this week's show we talk about that first True Detective season 2 trailer, David Lynch walking away from Showtime's Twin Peaks follow-up/reboot and follow-up our conversation a few weeks ago regarding the return of the X-Files, now that information on it has become more set in stone. There's also the usual release date and casting news, including who will play the leading roles in AMC's long-in...

With so many superhero shows doing the rounds, it was easy to be cynical about Netflix and Marvel's Daredevil, yet free of network constraints, Drew Goddard and Steven S. DeKnight have been able to deliver an uncompromisingly 'gritty' take on the blind vigilante's origin story. Both Cox and D'onofrio have been knocking it out of the park as Murdoch and Fisk, with solid support from the likes of De...

The 2nd trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens dropped at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim literally minutes before we came to record this episode, so if you like your reactions visceral we have you well covered this week. Also on the show: Matt Vaughn to reboot Flash Gordon? Updates on Mallrats 2 and Suicide Squad and our thoughts on the latest trailers for Terminator: Genisys, An...

With the first season of AMC's Breaking-Bad spin-off, Better Call Saul wrapping up this week, we thought it might be a good time to share our thoughts on how well the show manages to hold it's own whilst serving it's forebears' legacy. We also check in on the latest seasons of The Walking Dead & House of Cards and wave a fond farewell to Parks n' Recreation. All this and more TV we haven't #NOT be...

It truly is a time of 80s nostalgia as we discuss the implications of Neill Blomkamp's entry into the Alien cinematic universe & Harrison Ford returning for another Bladerunner movie. There's also news of another Tron sequel, following on from the events of the much-maligned Tron: Legacy a few years back, even more Ghostbusters movies and a whole bunch of details on the first standalone Star Wars...

On this week's show we say goodbye to some people who indirectly or not had a great impact on all our lives. Leonard Nimoy, known to most as Mr. Spock from the Star Trek movies, Sir Terry Pratchett, one of the most prolific Fantasy writers of all time and Sam Simon, the co-creator of The Simpsons. Combined, they make for one hell of a loss to world of Showbiz, so it's only right we pay tribute. Th...

On this week's show we get down to the business of discussing some movies we've actually seen! Leading the pack would have to be Adam Wingard's The Guest, which is a glorious homage to the ultra-violence of 80s cinema. We also share our thoughts on the latest iteration of the Liam Neeson 'Taken' franchise, the PR spectacle that was 'The Interview' and the final installment of Peter Jackson's Hobbi...

If there's a bigger and more gratifying piece of movie news this year then 2015 will end up being a fine vintage indeed. When Sony and Disney broke the news that they would be 'co-operating' on the next installment of the Spiderman franchise a few weeks back, you must have heard the whooping from Space. Not only does this save Sony's floundering efforts to create their own 'Cinematic Universe' - i...

Apologies for our tardiness this week, but believe it or not this is actually the quickest recording/editing/production turnaround we've ever managed for an episode of the show! The occasion? Why, the Oscars of course, which happened last weekend at the Dolby Theatre in West Hollywood. Here's our thoughts on the winners, the losers and the ceremony itself, with special guests Matt Foxley and Marcu...

On this week's #NOTwatching Podcast we're back in the land of TV, kicking off with our thoughts on the speculation and rumour surrounding the possible return of The X-Files. We also have dates for the new (and possibly final) season of Community and the TV incarnation of Daredevil, which will both be skipping the traditional TV networks to go direct to streaming platforms (Yahoo & Netflix respecti...

Time for another Movie News Update on this week's #NOTwatching Podcast! We kick things off with our thoughts on this year's Oscar Nominees - who we think should win, which films probably will and why... Then there's the rumour that Michael Keaton might be riding his currently high profile straight into that long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel and the confirmation that the next Ghostbusters movie will...
