    19) Movie Review: The Killer (2023) – Michael Fassbender et al. A Day in the Life of an Assassin

    Cinema is dead! Even the great David Fincher must bow down to the Subscription era. Nick discusses the potentially dangerous situation facing cinemas given we are now all couch potatoes.This is then followed by talking about a movie watched by this podcaster from his couch.The Killer is Fincher’s first film in years, but does it stack up to his already stacked catalogue? Is Fassbender’s face worth watching for 2 hours? Is a movie under 2 hours now as rare as a cinema release? Nick breaks this...

    18) Movie Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) – Aaaaaaaaargh!!

    A quick lookback on the life and work of Mathew Perry after his tragic recent passing.And then, what is there to say, it’s Spiderman (or men)!Settle in as Nick tackles one of the most anticipated movies of the last decade. We’re talking cameo’s, we’re talking villains, we’re talking repressed childhood memories. Did the movie live up to all the hype? Or did it crash and burn like Osborn’s glider…oopsies SPOILERS!All that and more in this extended, completely spoiler filled review two years af...

    17) Movie Review: Prey (2022) – A period piece, with a Predator

    The people have spoken, and a studio has listened! We wanted a Predator movie with a simplified plot, in the jungle, with Arnie, no cities or Aliens. Well, Schwarzenegger may have hung up the machete, but a Comanche tribe takes over and delivers with a love letter to the original while also standing on its own two feet. Nick tackles the ins and outs of why this Predator movie surpasses its fellow sequels (don’t put it in a city, duh) and the power of great story telling and enthralling a...

    16) TV Review – Mare of Easttown (2021): Winslet brings it!

    Grief, depression, broken families, death, it’s all positive vibes as Nick reviews a 7-hour murder mystery.Kate Winslet shines in an Emmy winning performance with a supporting cast threatening to steal the show. The bigger issues though are how we process grief, having more red herrings than billed cast members, and whether drawing existential meaning from a couple of nice camera shots qualifies as insightful podcasting, or just pretentious rubbish? If you have any questions or que...

    15) Movie Review: The Gray Man (2022) – Gosling v Evans…sometimes

    It’s the showdown some people might be waiting for! Two Hollywood Titans take to the screen in a battle of wits, biceps, and manicured moustaches. Only one problem, they forgot to put them on the screen at the same time.This podcast edition has Nick breaking down the Russo Brothers’ latest film full of style, fun action, and zero-character development (the classic trio). And while it may just be a Netflix action film, that obviously translates to a discussion about the mindset of Hollywood in...

    14) Movie Review: Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) – Love Triangles with Hammers

    Back with a bang! After a long hiatus, Nick returns much like the Mighty Thor himself - a new setup, a new mantra, and a more relaxed approach duuude. Will a new streamlined approach save this service from mediocrity and degradation? Who knows, but it's free content so best not to pull that thread. This podcast delves into another polarising marvel movie (shocking) with a review that tackles the very good, and very goofy elements of Taika Waititi’s second run at the God of Sparkles. Disc...

    13) Movie Review: A Quiet Place (2018) – TENSION!!

    In contrast to the usual order of play, Nick reviews a movie he likes. But first, the latest rendition of movie news explores Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’ trailer and why it makes no sense, new movies which aren’t that new since they were supposed to come out a year ago, and trailers for new movies that are actually new, or at least newer than the older new movies. The main event involves a look at what has become a cult classic, despite only being 3 years old. A Quiet Place broke Hollywood b...

    12) Movie Review: Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) – Group Projects and Puppy Chunks

    Proper order is restored with some classically self-indulgent, overly excessive movie analysis. But first, the easing of covid restrictions around the globe has brought a new stream of trailers as studios see dollar signs. Oh, and Gal Gadot said some stuff. The main event has Nick settle into the warm, safe embrace of Disney with a review of their latest (premium access) creation. For a change, there will be chat about some great action scenes and poor dialogue because that doesn’t get e...
