Movies (And A Rap‪)‬ Alex Gogarty

This is the end, my only friend, the end!

In the season finale of Movies (And A Rap), we review Lin-Manuel Miranda's new hit In the Heights, Ben Affleck's modern classic Gone Baby Gone, and little known Netflix series gem On Becoming a God in Central Florida.

As always, we run through the hottest Hollywood happenings from the past seven days, including: the notorious title of Zoë Kravitz's upcoming directorial debut; live-action Disney news; Quentin Tarantino's newly published novel; and a singular unfortunate event to recently befall Harrison Ford.

Lastly, we'll finish with the last rap of the series. This one has the most recognisable soundtrack, but the most unintelligible lyrics -- my commiserations and apologies.

Thank you very much for listening and supporting Movies (And A Rap)! If you'd like to get in touch (I love feedback), you can email me directly at moviesandarap@gmail.com or just send a DM to the Instagram @moviesandarap.

After a delay so long that it may as well be called a hiatus, we are back for the penultimate episode of Movies (And A Rap)!

This week we're reviewing hit HBO series Mare of Easttown, iconic millennial comedian Bo Burnham's newest lockdown special Inside, and 2002 spy thriller The Sum of All Fears.

We'll kick things off by chatting about feel-good films and a few of my unexpected favourites. Also, as always, we'll run through the hottest recent Hollywood news, and tie that all together in a 60 second rap conclusion. How strange!

Next week is the last episode of the season, so don't hesitate to get in touch. Send us your thoughts, tips, reviews or requests by email at moviesandarap@gmail.com, or by DMing the Instagram account @moviesandarap. If you enjoyed the podcast, please consider sharing with a friend!

P.S. I erroneously stated that Brad Pitt stars in The Sum of All Fears; it is of course Ben Affleck.

P.P.S. I also stated this started as a "bi-weekly" podcast, which is incorrect. It started weekly! Woe is me and my ambition.

The Oscars have come and gone, and in this episode we take a look at some of the results, and discuss the future of some of the hottest stars crowned on Hollywood's biggest night!

Speaking of big Hollywood nights, cross the 2022 Golden Globes out of your calendar, as they have officially been cancelled. We'll chat through the reasons why, whether or not this is a good thing, AND we'll still fit in oodles more news, reviews, and an original 60 second rap!

Remember, there are only 2 episodes left this season, so don't hesitate to get in touch. Send us your thoughts, tips, reviews or requests by email at moviesandarap@gmail.com, or by DMing the Instagram account @moviesandarap. If you enjoyed the podcast, please consider sharing with a friend!

Lastly, I apologise for the frankly nauseating audio quality of the final segment of the show.

One of the MAAR's greatest pleasures in life is watching film trailers, and in this week's episode we review FIVE of the biggest trailers to have dropped in the last two weeks!

We'll also review the new Taken-meets-John-Wick film Nobody, starring Bob Odenkirk and written by John Wick screenwriter Derek Kolstad, and take a trip back in time to visit everyone's second favourite sitcom, The Office (US).

Step right up, MAAR is back and it's more MAAR than ever! Expect movie and TV news, reviews, recommendations and light, ribald fun. Naturally, we finish with a 60 second rap related to the content of the episode. Disclaimer this week: two distinct segments of news were accidentally deleted after recording, meaning much/most of the rap makes literally no sense due to there being no context whatsoever. Apologies! Feel free to get in touch at moviesandarap@gmail.com or by DMing @moviesandarap on Instagram, and please like and share. Thank you xxx

Among the myriad topics discussed on today's episode are my personal favourite and least favourite Bond villains, who would play me in a movie of my life, films we used to watch in school, and all the week's hottest news and new releases! We'll be reviewing Justice League: The Snyder Cut, the latest season of Drive to Survive, the (awful) new Amazon animated series Invincible, and the Oscar-nominated Danish film Another Round. I'll also give my picks for what to watch on streaming (including the most underrated heist film of all time), and, naturally, we finish with a rap.
