I really hope you enjoy asides and digressions in the middle of a conversation about new movies and TV shows, because gosh oh golly is that what takes place in this episode where Dan is joined by Melbourne-based critic Mel Campbell.

The two discuss:


The Creator (in cinemas now)
C*A*U*G*H*T (Stan)
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (Netflix)
While The Men Are Away (SBS On Demand)

WARNING: Podcast includes some potty language.

This week on the ol’ podcast Dan reviews the biggest TV show of the… week, I guess. The John Wick spin-off The Continental. Oh, he also talks up one of his favourite shows of the year, the new Apple TV+ show Still Up.

Simon reviews two movies that you will likely never hear mentioned again after this podcast is done: Liam Neeson‘s latest Retribution, and a horror film called It Still Lives Here.

Last weekend was the 30th anniversary of the debut of The X-Files. Your two cool podcast hosts Dan and Simon look back at the show, discuss why it was such a huge zeitgeist hit, and recount favourite episodes.

Also, we have our reviews:


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (In cinemas now)
Blue Beetle (In cinemas now)
The Lovers (Sky Atlantic, Binge)
A Haunting in Venice (in cinemas now)

There is also the weekly Intermission chat (this week we travel time/space to interview plumbers about I love Lucy, or something), This Week in History, and the Birthday quiz.

This week we offer some thoughts on who the promising young actors are and which older actors just need to give it up.

Oh, and we offer some thoughts on the latest TV shows and movies:


One Piece (Netflix)
Past Lives (In cinemas now)
Who is Erin Carter? (Netflix)
The Equalizer 3 (In cinemas now)
