The Wreckfast club Podcast

Wreckfast Club listeners beware, you're in for a scare! As we continue our celebration of SPOOOOKKKYY MONTH with a story about sentient stories who no longer wish to be stories but ultimately end up being written back into a story. It's a nostalgia fuelled, fright-fest starring Jack Black and a kid with the biggest teeth you'll ever see. Seriously, we vet hung up on this kids teeth for most of the...

As Dave celebrates the arrival of his very own Wreckfast Cub in the midst of SPOOOOKY MONTH! We thought, what better film to do than one about the birth of the literal anti-christ. A film that is relentlessly unsettling from start to finish and has a (sadly still releveant) lot to say about body autonomy. We talk satanic cults, old lady weed grows and the nosiest of neighbours as we celebrate the...

Welcome, dear Wreckfast Club listener, to yet another most frightful, horror inducing season of what we like to call, SPOOOOKKKYYY MONTHHH! And we're kicking it off in style with one of the maddest drunken tales you'll ever hear. A woman's ex-lover is living in the attic of the house she and her husband share. Uncle Frank has been dragged to hell and de-skinned, but does this prevent their elicit...

Pop shit, hot qwoz! What do you get when you pit the star of Point Break, Sandra Bullock and a bus against super bomber man? You get a great film is what. Dennis Hopper plays an ear stabbing, mad man who's bombs cause Bob the bus driver and Jeff Daniels to die of natural causes (bombs use chemicals which are natural right?) In an evil scheme for... not enough money at all. Keanu plays the young co...

Guy Ritchies stylistic temperament meets Tarantino style dialogue in a star studded tale of mistaken identities, double crossings and violence. Oscar nominated for longest opening credit scene, it's the film that will have you asking, "Whatever happened to Josh Hartnett?" Get your towel on and let us give you the old five finger Kansas shuffle, as this week, the Wreckfast Club presents: Lucky Numb...

Today on the Wreckfast Club, we ruin your childhood as we drunkenly retell the story of a dad driven to madness, who convinces his wife of fourteen years and his own children that he is, in fact, an elderly Scottish nanny. Meanwhile he has to fend off an over amorous bus driver, serves a woman tea with cream from his own face and actively tries to kill a man who actually seems like a decent guy. B...

For the last couple of months, one of your plucky hosts has been plagued with multiple deliveries of the film, 'Die Another Day' in a cruel and calous attempt to coerce us into doing an episode on arguably the worst Bond film ever. But the Wreckfast Club does not negotiate with terrorists. So we will do Bond, but this ain't your grandma's Bond. This is a green and grizzled, no nonsense, no quips o...

Wreckfast Club! Come out to plaaaay-aaay! In the not too distant future, gangs are banging everyone, they're banging other gangs, they're banging civilians, they're even banging police. Also, in the UK, getting banged can mean getting knocked out. Do we over-labour that point? Who can tell. We meet a lot of gangs, some of them are cool, some of them not so much - there's fights, there's costumes,...

Charisma abounds in this coming of age, 80's high school tale from the master of coming of age, 80's high school tales; John Hughes. We spend a day in the life of effortlessly, loveable Matthew Broderick as he tries to give his friends one last, amazing day off school. There's parades, prank phone calls, car based hi-jinks as well as an attempted drowning when it gets weirdly dark later in the fil...

A secret war between werewolves and vampires. Guns. Leather. Michael Sheen. Kate Beckinsale. Sounds pretty cool right? Only this film apparently hates vampires, sets everything in the dark so it's impossible to see and starts after the war has basically finished, so there's not really a lot going on. There's so much convoluted lore and weird motives in this film and it's all so boring and rubbish....

"When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat." Factotum, Charles Bukowski "Poets are people who either can't write a book or can't write a song" Alex Moss, 2022 Mossy is back, fresh off the success of his first poetry anthology, he brings us a new collection of not quite stories, not quite songs. Darker, gritter, funnier - but are any of them p...

Hey there Wreckfasteers! We watched Prey this week and then got drunk and talked about our thoughts on it. As always, first half of the episode is spoiler free, then there's the fan favourite 'spoiler song' before we get into a spoiler filled section of thoughts. We're saying this episode is about Prey but we also cover Top Gun: Maverick being the best film ever made and Dave learns what avocado h...

"If only I could turn back time. If only I had said what I still had." Much like the 1998 hit, 'Turn back time' by Aqua, that this film is based on, today's episode explores themes of turning back time, general time travel theory and the regret of missed opportunities. It also stars Tom Cruise as a bumbling, useless civilian in the midst of a war against advanced wibbly wobbly aliens called mimics...

A young, privileged, white man terrorises and petrifies people by showing them his dirty, big snake when they neither asked nor wanted to see it, in a film that tries to accurately recreate the horrors of being any woman on the Internet. That's right, we're journeying into the hidden parts of Hogwarts where we'll meet alliteration loving, mopey, murdered ghosts, drug fellow students with cupcakes...

"You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it - it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, You have to be continually drunk." Charles Baudelaire, 'Be Drunk'   "All poets are hacks." Alex Moss, 2022   Mossy puts his money where his mouth is in today's episode, trying his hand at writing some poems. But are they actual...

Prepare to slither on in to our chamber of secrets as we drunkenly tell the story of witches and wizards being terrorised by a dirty great snake! That's right, it's the worst of the books and films but full of the madness that we love here on the Wreckfast Club, from gobby little house elves to oddly suggestive villains, flying cars and dark wizard 'paraphernalia' shops - this film packs in a lot....

The film that sparked a resurgence in mediocre game franchise movies that had no love for the source material. Oh the early naughties, what a wild west era of cinema! Get ready to fight hordes of zombies whilst innapropriately dressed and doing slow motion kung-fu. We talk odd story choices, method acting extras and what we'd do in the case of a zombie apocalypse, all while Mossy grows increasingl...

Long before anyone had uttered the phrase, 'gritty realism', Batman fans were making do with the fantastical, gothic world of Tim Burton. A world where supervillains could only get their powers from animals. Where Batman's 'no kill' rule didn't extend to using his car engine as a flamethrower at point blank range. A world that gave cinemagoers the maximum amount of Shrek they would see on a screen...

I am a real American! Except, I'm not. In this film, I'm an alien space marine forced to take a sabbatical on Earth where I stay with a cuck doc Brown and his wife. That quickly summarises Hulk Hogan's role in today's episode which is a mad, fish out of water story that sees the hulkster learn to walk like a human, skateboard like a human and even dress like a human (despite his predilection for r...

We're back baby! Menacing some phantoms in part two of our drunken retelling of the Phantom Menace. You've waited a whole week for this. We left the story with one of the jedis having just won a young boy via gambling. In part two we finally meet the sinister Darth Maul on his weird, little chav scooter, there's wars on planets, there's wars in the stars, there's lightsabers and a weird room of fo...

Finally, a Star Wars film that doesn't shy away from the sexier side of war. To all those kids who watched the first trilogy and thought, "Sure, lightsabers are cool, but I really want to deep dive into the politics of the Star Wars universe. How would things like trade sanctions, planetary blockades, senate meetings and diplomatic negotiations work? I imagine exactly like they do on Earth but jus...

Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Goooo, Ducks! Welcome to today's episode where we drunkenly retell the story of the pluckiest ducks we know. A sleazeball lawyer, with the coolest name in the biz, who gets caught drunk driving, is told he has to coach children's ice hockey as punishment. He meets a whole host of colourful characters who teach him the value of teamwork, sportsmanship and young, single m...

We're going pokéballs to the wall in a nostalgia fuelled journey to a place where making animals fight for entertainment and money is not only legal, but encouraged! Ten years old? Then you're old enough to leave your parents behind, travel a world filled with wild animals with insanely destructive powers, and meet some very questionable people along the way. Today's film covers artificial selecti...

Prepare for a tale of teenagers, demons, possession, evil and blood by the bucket load as this week, the Wreckfast Club recount the spooky tale of a group of friends who get more than they bargain for at a Haven holiday park. We wander through a cottage of infinite proportions, deal with intensely irritating, laughing ghouls, there's a tree scene that's best left unspoken and did we mention there'...

Cars. Guns. Spies. Rammstein! This films got it all in spade loads. Prepare to hear a story of Vin Diesel shouting his way through overly load club scenes with baddies who are very difficult to pin down geographically. There's some of the worst kissing ever committed to camera, there's some of the most egregious explosions and insane cameos from Tony Hawk, Rammstein and Machete himself. The a ting...
