    The Game (1997): David Fincher Helping Us Root For The Little Bit Sad Billionaire...

    Ben & Rob lose touch with reality as they play ‘The Game’, David Fincher’s 1997 mystery thriller straring Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger and James Rebhorn. When merchant banker Nicolas receives a voucher for a game from his brother Conrad, he ends up fighting to keep control of his life and mind as the birthday present from hell has him confronting his past. Often overlooked in Fincher’s catalogue, we continue our series covering EVERY David Fincher movie EVER and take a long look at how this movie holds up to contemporary audiences. Released hot on the heels of David Fincher’s cinematic smash hit ‘Se7en’ this mystery movie found a warm reception from both critics and cinema-goers with its tale of suspicion and suspense, but post 2008 can we still empathise with investment bankers? Why did David Fincher pick this script from the pile he had thrown at him after ‘Se7en’? And what DOES Ben despise the rich so much? CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more! PLUS!

    Inseminoid (1981): The Alien Franchise Without Subtext, Budget Or Talent. But With Special Guests!

    Ben & Rob Netflix & chill with the hosts of the Ctrl Alt Critique podcast for ‘Inseminoid’, Britain’s 1981 answer to the age old question: “Can you make Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic ‘Alien’ but with a fraction of the budget, talent and schedule?” Well obviously not, but we’ve got Adam, Amber and Bailey from Ctrl Alt Critique in to help us dissect all things ‘Inseminoid’, from its bizarre plot to its awfully dated effects, tone and subject matter. Banned in the UK with copies legally required to be destroyed by police, ‘Inseminoid’ stars Judy Geeson, Robin Clark, Victoria Tennant and Stephanie Beacham as a crew of space explorers attacked most intimately by a mysterious extraterrestrial force. But how on earth did this bizarre ‘Alien’ ripoff become so strangely successful at the UK box office? Is it even a ripoff of ‘Alien’, or do its roots run to deeper sci-fi influences? Can a podcast with five people hosting work in any meaningful way? And how does Ben keep managing to force his friends and co-host into watching these bizarre films from a past we’d rather forget?!

  3. Se7en (1995): What's In The Box? Our Series Covering EVERY David Fincher Movie EVER!

    Se7en (1995): What's In The Box? Our Series Covering EVERY David Fincher Movie EVER!

    Ben & Rob open the box to find ‘Se7en’, their first episode covering EVERY David Fincher movie EVER!!! Following the disastrous results of his directorial debut, Fincher would have to wait three years before winning a second opportunity to make a full length feature. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker, shot by Darius Khondji and starring Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Martin Serene and Kevin Spacey, ‘Se7en’ is possibly the greatest ever example of the neo-noir detective genre. David Fincher starts his journey to directorial stardom with a story of two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunting a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives. But how on earth did Fincher survive the crushing defeat of his first picture and still manage to attract an allstar cast to his sophomore picture? How many different endings were pitched for this movie and were all of them terrible? What’s in the box? WHAT’S IN THE BOOOOOX?!?! CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more! PLUS!

    The Crow (2024): We Watched This So You Don't Ever Have To.

    Ben & Rob point and laugh at ‘The Crow’, Hollywood’s latest insult to its own history as it constantly ruins everything good in this world. It may star Bill Skarsgard and FKA Twigs as Eric Draven and Shelly but the similarities end there - classic villain Top Dollar is gone, and now Eric fights demons with soundcloud raps. It’s also been a critical and commercial disaster, with critics yawning and the audience not even showing up. But what on earth possessed them to ‘fox’ something that was never broken? Is there anything to redeem this latest Hollywood cas-grab? And will we ever live in a world where this sort of cynical crap isn’t all that Hollywood is offering?

    The Crow (1994): Despite The Tragedy Of Brandon Lee's Death, This Film Is Still Perfect

    Ben & Rob dig up the original 1994 Alex Proyas directed goth classic ‘The Crow’. When Eric Draven and his fiancee are brutally murdered, he mysteriously returns from the dead with the help of a crow as it begins to guide him to his killers. This film represents the peak of 90s goth culture, with an astonishing soundtrack and acting performances to match; it will however sadly be forever remembered more for the tragedy that occurred during its production than it will for its own, many, merits. Rob is the podcast’s recovering goth, so this film was massively influential on his developing brain. Ben is fully allergic to edgelord goth stuff. But is the bird featured in the film even a crow? Was this film actually a victim of a Triad curse? And what is it about this film that endures even to this day? Click the link in our bio to find out all this and much MUCH more!

    Alien Romulus (2024): Fede Álvarez Takes A Swing At Another Beloved Franchise But Does He Connect?

    Ben & Rob conclude their Alien saga with Fede Álvarez’ latest franchise entry ‘Alien Romulus’! The film has been out for less than 48 hours and these boys have managed multiple re-watches and STILL recorded, edited and released a full one hour show for release weekend! Set between the events of Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), Fede’s latest crime against a fanbase stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu as a young crew desperate for a chance at changing their miserable lives. When a derelict spacecraft falls into their orbit, they must escape the Xenomorph infestation that lurks within to have any chance of survival. But with prior attempts to revitalise Ben’s favourite franchises ringing hollow, has Fede Álvarez finally broken his curse? Does this film live up to the massive weight of expectation both hosts had when they bought their many MANY tickets? Does this young but talented cast get given the script to really showcase their terror at one of cinema’s all time greatest villains? And what IS the collective noun for a group of face-huggers? A gaggle? A murder? A cluster? CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more! PLUS! We have a YouTube with EXCLUSIVE content just for you - click the link below!

    Maxxxine: Maxine Minx Vs. The Night Stalker Vs. Hollywood Vs. ... The Church?

    Ben and Rob stalk the streets of Ti West’s ‘Maxxxine’, the thrilling conclusion to his horror trilogy that started with ‘X’ and possibly peaked with ‘Pearl’. With an incredible cast that includes Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon, ‘Maxxxine’ follows adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx as she finally gets her big break as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Los Angeles and a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past. But is this conclusion to the trilogy going to satisfy Ben’s need for fun horror whilst ticking Rob’s endless thirst for human insight? Can you put too much effort into making your timeperiod come alive on screen? And what in the name of all things holy does the ending of this film mean?!
