Flixwatcher: A Netflix Film Review Podcast Stripped Media

William (Bill) DeMeritt (actor and writer) and James III (Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Bill's choice Spaceman.

Spaceman (2024) is a science fiction drama based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař and directed by Johan (Chernobyl) Renck. It stars Adam Sandler as Jakub Procházka, a Czech astronaut six months into a space mission to investigate a mysterious cloud of dust and particles, called Chopra. Carey Mulligan is Lenka, Jakub's pregnant wife. Isabella Rossellini co stars as Commissioner Tuma, Jakub's commanding officer with Paul Dano who voices Hanuš, an extraterrestrial spider.
Jakub is lonely and misses Lenka. Unbeknown to Jakub, Lenka has sent a message says she wants to leave him. The message is intercepted by Commissioner Tuma who rules that Jakub should not receive the message as it will worsen his mental health and compromise the mission. Days later a telepathic spider appears inside the spaceship and they discuss humanity.
Spaceman is a curious film, by casting Sandler and Mulligan it instantly asks you to suspend belief that Jakub is Czech, its easier to believe in a space spider than the implied quirkiness of Jakub's existence in space. Even less easier to believe is the central romance.
Recommendability scores for Spaceman were quite mediocre, despite there being a talking spider it is quite dull. Similar scores across the remaining categories give Spaceman an overall score of 3.69.

The Art of the Heist: Why "Logan Lucky" is a Must-Watch
Heist movies have been thrilling audiences for decades with their intricate plots, charismatic characters, and the undeniable rush from watching a well-crafted caper unfold. "Logan Lucky," directed by Steven Soderbergh, is an exceptional entry in this exciting genre. Here's why you should add it to your must-watch list.
A Fresh Take on Familiar Territory
At its core, "Logan Lucky" is about pulling off an impossible robbery. But rather than treading overused ground, it offers a fresh perspective by setting the action in the American South and infusing every scene with heart and humour. Channing Tatum leads as Jimmy Logan—a man determined to reverse his family's curse with one grand heist during a NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Star-Studded Performances That Charm
The film boasts both grounded and delightfully over-the-top performances—none more so than Daniel Craig's Joe Bang, an explosives expert who steals every scene he’s in. The trio makes for an unforgettable team, with Adam Driver playing Jimmy’s one-armed brother Clyde and Riley Keough as their sister Mellie.
The cast also includes cameos from actors known for beloved TV shows like Parks and Recreation, which adds another layer of enjoyment for fans who spot these familiar faces.
Laughs That Keep You Engaged
While some may expect “Logan Lucky” to be another high-stakes drama, it surprises viewers with genuine laughs throughout its runtime. Its Southern charm doesn't come across as cartoonish. Still, it endears you further to each character’s quirks—and let's not forget those comedic moments that land perfectly thanks to impeccable timing by the ensemble cast.
Rewatchability Factor Through the Roof
One key aspect where “Logan Lucky” shines is rewatchability; there’s always something new to notice upon subsequent viewings. Whether it's foreshadowing you missed or a line delivery that suddenly stands out—it keeps drawing you back for more fun discoveries.
Perfect For Any Screen Size
In today’s streaming-dominated world, not all films transition well from big screen to small screen, but “Logan Lucky” does so seamlessly. Without relying heavily on visual effects or expansive set pieces, it maintains its charm whether viewed on your home theatre or laptop screen.
Final Thoughts
“Logan Lucky” checks all the boxes when it comes to what makes a great film: engaging storylines full of twists and turns, memorable characters portrayed by talented actors, rewatch value through clever details, accessibility across viewing platforms, and loads of fun!
If you haven’t yet experienced this gem—or even if you have—consider planning your next movie night around “Logan Luck.” It promises entertainment galore!

Barney Boom and Laila Khan from Sonic Boom Six return to Flixwatcher to review Barney’s choice Creep.
Creep (2014) is a found footage horror film directed by Patrick Brice and based on a story by Brice and Mark Duplass, who both star.
Inspired by Brice’s experience on Craigslist, Brice plays Aaron, a struggling videographer who accepts a request from Josef (Duplass). The request is to join Josef in his remote cabin to film a video diary for his unborn son. Josef tells Aaron he has inoperable cancer and wants to leave a video legacy. As Josef exhibits increasingly bizarre behaviour Aaron begins to regret accepting the assignment.
Creep is 77 minutes of very strange and creepy behaviour, some of the scenes are deeply disturbing but also hilarious.
Recommendability scores for Creep were mixed, while Flixwatcher and guests loved it, due to it’s disturbing content it isn’t an easy one to widely recommend. A runtime of 77 minutes helped with engagement and repeat viewing scores to give an overall rating of 4.11.

Tommy James (Little White Lies, Zavvi) and Liam H Dempsey (Spocklight podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Tommy’s choice They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead.
They'll Love Me When I'm Dead (2018) is a documentary about the ill-fated final Orson Welles film The Other Side of the Wind.
The Other Side of the Wind (2018) was intended to be Welles’ comeback but he died before it was completed. Peter Bogdanovich, who also stars, ended up completing the project and it was released by Netflix in 2018.
They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead is the perfect companion piece to The Other Side of the Wind. Watching them in that order as well will give you a good context to go in with.
Recommendability scores for They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead were strong, as well as providing an insight into the making of The Other Side of the Wind you also get an insight into the life of Welles, the issues he faced and filmmaking in the 1970s. Slightly lower scores for repeat viewing give an overall rating of 3.41.

Matthew Stogdon, Jack Chambers-Ward and Tim Maytom (Sequelisers podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Matthew’s choice ’71.

’71 (2014) is an action thriller set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Directed by Yann (Top Boy) Demange it stars Jack O’Connell as Gary Hook, a new British Army recruit sent to Belfast. When his platoon is sent to a volatile area without protective gear during a home search for weapons. A crowd gathers and tensions rise, when a soldier is hit by a rock order disappears and Hook is accidentally abandoned and left on the streets to fend for himself.
’71 is a taut 99 minutes chase set over one night. The lines between the good and the bad guys is blurred, safe zones are scarce and it’s impossible to know who to trust.
Recommendability scores for ’71 were very high, with a runtime of 99 minutes it scored well for engagement as well to give an overall rating of 4.23.
