    Gladiator II (2024) - a sequel in the shadow of a classic

    How does Gladiator 2 compare to the original, and does it live up to the legacy? In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we review the long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 classic. With a new story, fresh gladiator, and a star-studded cast, including Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington, the film promises big spectacle. But does it capture the emotional depth and weight of the original? We explore the action, stunning visuals, and impressive CGI, while questioning whether the film relies too much on familiar tropes and fails to stand out. Is Gladiator 2 just a retread, or does it offer something new? Or is it another example of Hollywood recycling old ideas? Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.

    Red One (2024) - Christmas action or holiday distraction

    Is Red One the Christmas movie we’ve all been waiting for, or just another holiday flick? In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we explore the new action-comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans. The film, which brings together a star-studded cast, mixes action with festive cheer as the duo teams up to rescue Santa Claus. While there’s no shortage of high-energy moments, we dive into the film’s predictability, rushed character development, and missed opportunities to create something truly memorable. Despite some entertaining performances and a few solid laughs, we ask whether it has what it takes to be a holiday classic, or if it fades into the background as just another Christmas film.

    Heretic (2024) - faith, manipulation, and psychological horror

    What happens when faith is tested by manipulation in a chilling psychological thriller? In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we explore Heretic, a gripping horror film directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, with Hugh Grant delivering a captivating performance in a role far from his usual. The film follows two young missionaries who are drawn into a tense psychological battle with a sinister figure, leading to deep questions about faith, control, and manipulation. We explore the film’s slow-burn tension, where dialogue takes centre stage over typical horror tropes, and discuss the philosophical themes around belief and power. The performances, especially from Grant and the young actresses, are examined for their complexity and depth. Heretic challenges perceptions of religion and control. Could Heretic be the perfect blend of philosophical depth and suspenseful horror? Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts. Recorded on the 13 November 2024 © Rogue Reviews.

    Salem’s Lot (2024) - adapting a vampire classic

    Does the latest Salem’s Lot adaptation measure up to Stephen King’s haunting original? In this episode, we dive into Gary Dauberman’s reimagining of King’s classic vampire tale, exploring how it compares to the chilling novel and previous screen adaptations.  From its gritty 1970s setting to standout horror elements that bring Jerusalem's Lot to life. We unpack Ben Mears' journey back to his hometown, where he finds the sinister influence of an ancient vampire spreading through the town. Together, we share our initial reactions to the film’s tension-building moments and its nostalgic take on classic horror aesthetics. We share how character arcs and pacing affect the film’s impact—especially when contrasted with the book’s more intricate storytelling. From Ben to young Mark, we explore how these characters evolve on screen, and debate where the film could have delved further into the chilling themes King is known for. Filled with nostalgia, critique, and insights we answer whether Salem’s Lot is best for die-hard King fans, or horror lovers new to King’s universe can enjoy it too.

    The Hunt (2020) - satire meets survival

    We dive into the razor-sharp action thriller The Hunt, directed by Craig Zobel and starring the phenomenal Betty Gilpin, alongside Hilary Swank, Ike Barinholtz, and Ethan Suplee. A somewhat controversial film, centring on a group of elites hunting right-wing individuals for sport, didn't just turn heads—it sparked fierce debates and outrage, coinciding with the heated 2020 U.S. presidential campaign. We kick things off with a spoiler-free review, unpacking the film’s blend of dark humour and high-stakes action. From its release backlash, fuelled by high-profile critiques to its commentary on the absurdity of political extremes, we explore how The Hunt holds a mirror to society’s outrage culture.  We reflect on the film’s impact and ask, is The Hunt a satirical mirror to our divided society, or simply a thriller meant to shock? Either way, its cultural punch is undeniable, with humour and horror colliding in a tense exploration of modern political discord.  Does The Hunt hit too close to home?

    Scream VI (2023) - new city, new rules

    What happens when Ghostface trades small-town terror for the big city? In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we break down the latest slasher instalment, Scream VI. Moving the mayhem from Woodsboro to New York, the survivors of the last film find themselves once again targeted by a new Ghostface. But can the urban jungle offer anything new to the Scream formula? We explore the dynamics brought on by the new setting and how it ramps up the tension and the emotional core of the film, particularly the relationship between sisters Sam and Tara. As always, Scream plays with genre tropes, but does its signature meta-commentary still pack a punch? Or has the series become a victim of its own self-awareness?  Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts. Recorded on the 17 September 2023 © Rogue Reviews.
