    All of Us Strangers Movie Review

    All of Us Strangers Movie Review

    The Patreons helped us pick an LGBTQ movie for us to cover as part of Pride Month, and the winner was All of Us Strangers from 2023, starring Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Was the story inviting, or was it isolating? Alongside talking about the emotional rollercoaster this film brings, we also discuss the right etiquette for crossing legs, religious fears from school, loneliness, and The Power of Love (plus other excellent needle drops).

    Alien Movie Review

    Alien Movie Review

    In space, no one can hear you scream... but you can certainly hear Sophie's thoughts on watching Ridley Scott's 1979 movie Alien for the first time! Plus we have another person on deck to join in on the discussion - James from the Biscuits and Bluray Podcast (@biscuitsnblurays on IG) - so it's definitely going to be a fantastic mission! As we delve into what makes this sci-fi slow burn so great, we also touch upon the sequels, the new entry into the Alien franchise for 2024, A Grand Day Out, Radiohead, more horror chat - plus listen out for Paul and Sophie becoming androids in the last 10 minutes of this episode...

    Belle Movie Review

    Belle Movie Review

    We're breaking the cycle with the third installment in our second year of Ani-May, which has us look back at another 2021 anime that Sophie was very happy to be re-watching and reviewing - that being Mamoru Hosoda's Belle (and it might have something to do with the parallels to Beauty and the Beast...) As we look back over this sci-fi musical, we also take note of the director's other work in similar themes, a jab at the Avengers, Polly Pockets, and the good and the bad sides of online interactions (and what it's done for us!)

    The Deer King Movie Review

    The Deer King Movie Review

    In our next installment of Ani-May season 2, we take a more seemingly European approach(?) for a Japanese animation, as we both check out The Deer King from 2021 for the first time. During our discussion you'll hear what has Paul darting over to the blu-ray shelf, whether the movie title should go by another name, what made Paul upset and Sophie annoyed - and obligitary Pokemon references!! Promo ad provided by The Good, The Bad and The Weird Podcast

    Akira Movie Review

    Akira Movie Review

    It's round two of 'Ani-May' (still a clever title) and we asked the Patreons to pick one of two cyberpunk-themed heavy hitters. Yes, to Sophie's delight, we're going gritty instead of cutesy from the start with Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime movie Akira. Despite the despair that occurs in this dytopian 'future', there is still beauty to be found - as Paul tries to point out to Sophie throughout the discussion. On top of that we have more 4K appreciation, anger at animated nudity, and contemplation on whether time would allow Paul to ever delve into the manga series... Promo ad provided by Deconstructing Comics

    Teen Wolf Movie Review

    Teen Wolf Movie Review

    As we close in on second running of our themed month, we remember a previous themed month of Monster March with a lighthearted '80's comedy in the form of Teen Wolf. Does the movie have a lot of bite, or are the fangs just for show? We also discuss Turning Red, basketball movies, just how hairy is Paul, and Sophie dives deeper than you think into the characteristics of the character Styles (never mind Michael J. Fox's character Scotty!)
