The Wreckfast club Podcast

Here's a weird film where Gerard Butler allows a child to climb inside him like a meat puppet. And that's just the beginning! Like someone had watched the Running Man, The Matrix and Surrogates and not really understood what was going on in any of them, but then also hated people who play video games and decided to mash that into a violent cocaine dream of a movie. In other words, peak fodder for...

Get ready for part two of our deep dive into Inglourious Basterds! In the second hour, we've had much more than drei glaser and it shows. Get ready to hear the name Zoller more times than you ever needed to, we introduce two new characters with no relation to characters from the first half of the episode, despite similar names, and we discuss that strudel scene. Cream on! One person has already de...

5 years we've been doing this vaguely film themed podcast, and for five years we've been told we should check out this, 'Quentin Tarantino- fella. "You'll get half an hour out of his name alone!" The fans cried. Well, don't say we don't listen! Here for your audial pleasure is a happy little revisionist history that asks, what if Brad Pitt won the war? Menacing ambience, a crazy performance from C...

We're back with part two of our thrilling dive into the wizarding world. Will things set up in part one pay dividends now? Will enemies in a children's story get child appropriate punishments for their crimes that certainly don't involve bestial aggression in a forest whilst the hero laughs? Will Harry crack a smile or continue to be the most mopey, miserable protagonist of all time? Only we can a...

Folks it's time once more to delve into the weird world of wizards to witness their wonderful wand work (mainly Neville Longbottom's this time). Is what the Daily Prophet are saying about our hero true? Will the kids be forced into creating some sort of child army resistance force? More importantly will Harry get to neck on with a wee scottish lass? Find out as the Wreckfast Club presents: Harry P...

It's the conclusion of our festive bonanza, as we ask ourselves, will they or won't they? Will she? Will he? Would they? Could that possibly? All these questions, and more, will be asked as we discuss guys turning up on women's doorsteps, Jack Black scatting and awkward three-way phone calls. It's all here and more, as the Wreckfast Club presents: The Holiday - Part Two! Follow us: Instagram: http...

Settle by the fire, make yourself a bailey's hot chocolate and prepare to feel Christmassy all over as we delve into a classic, yuletide rom-com. Star-studded but barely written, and with not much grasp on the cost of real-world things, it's a film where nothing really happens and there is no jeopardy, making it the cinematic equivalent of all that chocolate you'll eat on the big day - sickly and...

Jingle my baubles and call me Saint Nick! It's only bloody jingle month! Today we're celebrating the most festive of Christmas traditions, which is dads getting a little bit merry, putting on a film from their childhood that only they want to watch, and immediately falling asleep during it. And what better dad film than the stop motion masterclass that features God's, Titans, Skeletons made from h...

We're back for part two of one of the fourth best Indiana Jones films. Monkeys, sword fights, killer Ants, and 'interdimensional beings', who are certainly not aliens, so get that out your goddamn crystal skulls. It's got all the hallmarks of an indie film, with none of the heart, but you do get Shia LaBeouf, so, vine swings and roundabouts. It's all here as the Wreckfast Club presents: Indiana Jo...

Get ready for whip cracking, sweaty cheating, hat wearing, treasure seeking fun as we return to the well to talk about what is arguably, one of the films in the Indiana Jones franchise. Cate Blanchett does, what feels like, a slightly offensive Ukranian accent, Hollywood still thought Shia LaBeouf was a viable leading man and of course there's THAT scene. We cover it all in part one of The Wreckfa...

We're back with the conclusive part of our tale of salty sea men and Demi Leviathan. Buckles? They're swashed! Pieces? Best believe they're set! And Destiny? Oh yes, we'll have a touch of that. Prepare to play mad pirate dice games, get into a weird, underdeveloped love triangle and learn all about Davey Jones' art Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wreckfast_club/ Tik-tok: https://ww...

Hey there yo hoes! Drink up the rum, swashbuckle your mainsail and splice your parrot because we're sailing back to the pirate infested shores of the Caribbean for a return to a classic franchise. We talk set pieces, the flanderisation of Cap'n Jack and repeatedly reference the wrong actress (we're not a film podcast). It's all here, as the Wreckfast Club presents: Pirates of The Caribbean 2: Dead...

Death is back up to his teen-slaying antics in the second part of our spooky month special, Final Destination - a horror film that makes you think, 'hmm, that's an interesting concept, but certainly not strong enough to sustain a six movie franchise.' What inventive ways will the surprisingly petty Grim Reaper utilise to off, ostensibly, children? Find out, as the Wreckfast Club presents: Final De...

Death is taking out teens with wacky rube goldberg inspired precision in one of the most fun examples of the teen-slasher genre. We're in full spooky month swing as we discuss cheating death, premonitions and the pros and cons of pre-flight defecation. It's all here as the Wreckfast Club presents: Final Destination - Part One  Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wreckfast_club/ Tik-tok...

Spooky Month is in full flow here at the Wreckfast Club and we're kicking it off with the absolute scare-fest that is the 2002 Matthew Lillard tour-de-force, Scooby-Doo. For all the kids that love scooby doo, this has got Sarah Michelle Gellar dressed as Daphne for the kids, Linda Cardellini dressed as Velma for the kids, and of course, the kids favourite, Isla Fisher! (For the kids). Prepare for...

We're back for part two of our Darkman extravaganza, and it's all about to get a lot more Raimi! Get ready for THAT pink elephant scene, lots of mens skin being pulled off and the phrase, "I'm gonna girder loins". Will Bruce Campbell make an appearance? Who can possibly say! Find out, in the Wreckfast Club presents: Darkman | Part Two Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wreckfast_club/...

It's time to get mad AND get even in today's film about a very angry, very tall man who gets on the wrong side of the mob and gets smashed into glass, boiled alive and then exploded for his trouble. Get ready to hear the phrase "liquid skin" more times than is comfortable and learn a shit load about science! It's all here in today's episode as the Wreckfast Club presents: Darkman (Part one) Follow...

Nips Akimbo! It's time for the real life, totally true story about a one man fighting machine who fought (and won) against every man ever. It's a sword staring, brick breaking, impossible splitsing, totally true and not made up story. So put up your Frank Dukes and get ready for the Wreckfast Club to present: Bloodsport   Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wreckfast_club/ Tik-tok: htt...

What care I how time advances; I am drinking ale today. - Lines on Ale, Edgar Allen Poe   "You're no Spike Milligan" - Alex Moss   It's time for everyone's favourite hobby! Listening to amateurs recite their poetry! But are they truly poems? Today, Dave climbs down from his ivory tower of collected poems and recites some of his own verse, but will Mossy be impressed? Find out!

Shall we play a game? Yes, let's play that classic, childhood game, global thermonuclear war! You know, the one you used to play with your friends at school? Today we're talking baby broderick's, fallout fear, AI fear and why it takes a robot to teach us all... to be a little more human. Also, there's a Pterodactyl. It's all here, in, the Wreckfast Club presents: WarGames! Follow us: Instagram: ht...

In today's bonus episode, the Wreckfast Club reacts to Jason Statham led, Sky Original, 'The Beekeeper'. It's a mile a minute, action romp that leans heavier into the whole 'beekeeper' thing than you would ever think is possible. Immolation. Extortion. South Africans. Honey. Truly, this film has it all!   Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wreckfast_club/ Tik-tok: https://www.tiktok.c...

An ultra-stylised, ultra violent, gun caper from the early naughties that sees one man drawn into a situation that's way bigger than it initially seems, and having to shoot his way out. No, it isn't Lucky Number Slevin. No, it isn't Smokin Aces. No it's not Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Revolver... stop guessing! This one stars everyone's favourite actor you get when everyone else is busy, features Paul...

Today's film is a veritable who's who of once famous faces that would make kids nowadays ask, "who?" It's the most egregious bums and plums film we've ever done on the podcast and features ass-kicking, secret spying, bad dancing action, Sam Rockwell acting unhinged for a change, Joey from friends playing Joey from friends, and Cameron Diaz delivering lines that would make your dad blush. It's all...

In todays episode, we're talking most evil villains of all time, and this villain with a plot that involves puppy-napping and skinning has got to be right up there! We count dogs, we chat how to make the most of a life of crime, we even have some deep, moral conundrums, like, would we rather be a basher or a skinner? It's all answered in today's episode, as the Wreckfast Club presents: 101 Dalmati...

We're continuing with our oddly Dolph Lundgren themed May! In today's episode, oiled up, topless, beefcakes tell you the story of a 1987 movie that was a cynical, cash-grab based on a range of toys and cartoons that were themselves, cynical cash grabs. We talk cool mercenary nicknames, the invention of digging, and how whole generations of cinema goers were awakened by either tall women in PVC col...
