  1. Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - a roaring success or mess?

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - a roaring success or mess?

    Is Jurassic World: Dominion the epic finale we hoped for, or does it flop into extinction? In this episode, we dive into the sixth Jurassic Park chapter, where dinosaurs roam free amid a chaotic plot of locusts, greed, and raptor rescues. We measure it against Spielberg’s 1993 gem—tense and wondrous—and find Dominion leaning hard on CGI and nostalgia. Velociraptors chase motorbikes in Malta, legacy heroes return, but it feels like two films mashed together. We sift through the action, crowded cast, and “plot gymnastics,” enjoying the dino thrills despite the mess. Nostalgia and dinosaurs deliver some punch, yet the sloppy execution dims the spark. We debate if the franchise still thrives or should go extinct. Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts. Recorded on the 21 June 2022 © Rogue Reviews.

  2. The Captain (2017) - survival or savagery?

    The Captain (2017) - survival or savagery?

    Imagine clawing for survival only to become the monster you fear most. That’s the haunting premise of The Captain, a 2017 German film set in the dying days of World War II. In this episode, we’re diving into this stark, black-and-white tale of a young deserter, William, who finds a captain’s uniform and transforms into something monstrous. It’s not your typical war movie—it’s a slow, unsettling burn that strips human nature down to its raw, ugly truth. We explore how the film’s black-and-white visuals drag us into a morally blurred world—no Hollywood gloss, just brutal reality. We unpack the moments that hit hard: William’s cold-blooded decisions and that surreal credits twist that turns it all upside down. It’s a film that lingers, not because it’s easy, but because it’s real—and we’re wrestling with what it reveals about us all. Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.

    Society of the Snow (2023) - resilience, avalanches and disaster (spoiler review)

    What would you do if survival meant facing the unthinkable? In this episode, we dive deep into Society of the Snow, a raw and unflinching survival thriller about the 1972 Uruguayan flight disaster. We wrestle with the film’s brutal realism—think heart-stopping plane crashes and avalanches that bury hope alive. Expect a wild ride as we praise the unknown Uruguayan and Argentine actors who make every shiver and sacrifice feel real, paired with a director’s craft that turns history into a gripping, visceral experience. The crash will haunt your next flight, and the rescue hits like a cathartic punch. It’s no light watch—we laugh, cringe, and reflect on a story of humanity at its breaking point, stitched together with camaraderie and tough choices. Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.

    Mickey 17 (2025) - sci-fi satire or preachy overload?

    What if you were cloned, killed, and reprinted like a cosmic photocopy? That’s the wild setup of Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s latest sci-fi gem that’s got us hooked. In this episode, we dive into this quirky black comedy with Robert Pattinson as a disposable space colonist, unpacking its biting satire, class jabs, and messy questions about humanity’s flaws. It’s less clone chaos, more slow-burn brain teaser—think spaceship social commentary with a side of “hold up, are we the idiots here?” as colonisers clash with annoyed alien locals. We wrestle with the absurdity, dig into the heavy colonisation vibes, and debate: is it genius or just preachy as hell? Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.

  5. 007 Rewind: James Bond - the past, present and future

    007 Rewind: James Bond - the past, present and future

    The James Bond franchise has thrilled audiences for over six decades, evolving with each era while keeping its suave spy spirit alive. With Amazon recently taking creative control of the James Bond franchise from the Broccoli family, as 007 fans, we can’t help but dive into what’s next for our favourite spy. We’re excited yet nervous about how this shift might shake up Bond’s world. In this episode, we reminisce about the glory days, from Sean Connery’s cool swagger in Goldfinger to Daniel Craig’s raw intensity in Casino Royale, debating what made those films legendary—gadgets like ejector seats, epic chases, and villains that still haunt our dreams. But it’s not just nostalgia driving us; we’re also speculating on Amazon’s impact. Will they keep Bond’s essence alive or churn out spin-offs that water it down? Could Henry Cavill be the next 007, or will a fresh face step up? It’s a conversation full of passion, laughs, and a bit of worry for the future of the franchise we adore.  Fast-forward to hear about:  00:40: The present10:00: 60s and 70s17:30: 80s and 90s26:30: 2000s32:40: The future Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.

    The Monkey (2025) - cursed toys and dark laughs

    This week on Rogue Reviews, we're jumping into The Monkey, a horror movie pulled straight from a Stephen King tale. It’s got a cursed toy monkey unleashing chaos and death in ways that are both gory and weirdly hilarious. The vibe? Imagine Evil Dead’s bloody mess crashing into Cabin in the Woods’ absurd twists. One of us couldn’t get enough of its wild energy and dark laughs. The other? Thought it slogged a bit between the kills. Theo James shines as Hal, the poor dude tangled up in the monkey’s deadly curse. The story’s loaded with jaw-dropping twists, and the ending? Total insanity. As always, we kick off with a spoiler-free rundown and then we explore the crazy twists and turns that lead to the finale. If you dig horror that’s equal parts brutal and funny, this one’s for you.

    The Gorge (2025) - sci-fi, snipers, and surprises

    This week we’re diving into The Gorge—a freaky Apple TV Plus thriller from Scott Derrickson. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy play elite snipers guarding a mysterious chasm, blending action, horror, sci-fi, and a romance that somehow steals the show.We’re breaking down their electric chemistry, the rollercoaster pacing, and that slightly shaky CGI—spoiler-free at first. Then we’re spilling the gorge’s wild secret (not what we guessed!), wrestling with the trippy ending, and debating if it needs a sequel. Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.

    What happens when a town traps you, monsters roam the night, and every answer breeds more questions?

This is a full-on spoilers deep dive—so if you’re not caught up, watch it first! We dig into the show’s mash-up of occult hints and science-y ideas—like Jade’s energy theories and Julie’s weird time-walking—plus the night creatures’ grisly origins and a new threat in a yellow suit. It’s a wild mix of supernatural scares, time-twists, and a growing feeling that this town is toying with everyone.
