Every Movie EVER‪!‬ Ben Groves & Rob Macfarlane

Ben & Rob watch ‘Godzilla Minus One’ wipe out our tissue box for ALL the reasons; 2023’s Japanese Toho franchise entry became a global sensation, winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and making over $100million at the box office. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki and starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe and Yuki Yamada, ‘Godzilla: Minus One’ tells the harrowing tale of a failed kamikaze pilot’s search for meaning in the wake of total devastation, through the medium of a gigantic lizard god smashing everything.

Having covered every Legendary Pictures entry into their western Godzilla ‘MonsterVerse’ franchise, will returning to the Japanese source reveal new ways of seeing scales? Why is this film such a brilliant companion piece to Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’? And which version of Godzilla would Ben & Rob least enjoy sharing a train carriage with?

Ben & Rob take a bite of ‘Abigail’, the 2024 horror comedy from the directors of ‘Ready or Not’ Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. When six criminals kidnap a young vampire, they swiftly become child’s prey rather than child predators. Starring Alisha Weir as the titular character alongside Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, and Giancarlo Esposito, ‘Abigail’ made a profit at the box office, reviewed well and caught Ben’s attention for it’s clear love of eighties B-Horror.
But is this bite of a movie worth the chew on our show? Can Rob find anything in this film he can enjoy? And what’s the biggest animal our co-hosts could beat in a bare knuckle fight to the death?

Ben & Rob roar back to life as they revive The Legendary MonsterVerse series, with this year’s box-office kaiju ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’! Despite an awkward name and a lukewarm reception from critics, this movie is not only the second highest grossing film of the series but of the entire 2024 box-office! Starring Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, Kaylee Hottle, Alex Ferns, and Fala Chen ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ has an awkward name but a crystal clear mission statement: All Kaiju, All Of The Time.
But with this many disparate entries in a now ten-year-old franchise, is this universe looking a little long in the carbon-fibre tooth? Does the movie live up to the romcom expectations we had last year when we covered every MonsterVerse movie ever? And have we finally solved the mystery of Kong’s gender?!

Ben & Rob get cold feet on the finale of their series covering every Ghostbusters movie EVER, defrosting ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’, the 2024 Gil Kenan directed latest instalment in the franchise. Take a deep breath for the cast-list, as it features the talents of Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O'Connor, Logan Kim, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, William Atherton, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Emily Alyn Lind, and James Acaster! Sound like too many people for one plot to support in a meaningful way? You bet it is!
When the discovery of an ancient artefact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second ice age. But despite making twice it’s budget in box office receipts, this film received a frosty reception from critics and a tepid welcome from much of the fanbase. Can Ben & Rob defrost this overstuffed freezer of a film, or is it best to leave the franchise where it belongs; behind the tupperware of old Lasagna that Aunt Ethel brought around when you had the flu? Is Winston Zeddemore the most inept CEO since Elon Musk? And can Ben ever forgive Gil Kenan for taking all the warmth out of his favourite franchise?

In a surprise twist, Ben & Rob stop by the ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’, an incredibly fun remake of Roger Corman’s 1960 original horror comedy, with a musical twist! Starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, John Candy and Steve Martin, this animatronic wonder of eighties cinema tells a disturbing tail of space invaders, murder, love and horticultural horror with equal parts star power and catchy melody. With the sad news of Roger Corman’s untimely passing this month, we thought it best to revisit a movie SO packed with Ben’s special interests that it can’t help but put a smile on his face!
But how did this movie create practical effects nearly unmatchable since it’s 1986 release? Why do both of our hosts have such deep and intense fear of dentists? And given the sheer depth of Ben’s gloom, is ANY movie capable of cheering him up this week?!

Ben & Rob dig up the dirtfarm of ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ as they continue to cover EVERY Ghostbusters movie EVER! Starring Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd as our brand new team of misfits, but also featuring wonderful reprise performances from Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver, ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ see’s Egon Spengler’s estranged family rediscovering their family’s legacy in the wake of his death.
‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ serves as a painfully touching tribute to the one name missing from the above paragraph, Harold Ramis. A multi talented actor, director and writer, this film perfectly eulogises the man many in the cast simply called their friend, whilst simultaneously passing the torch from original Ghostbuster director Ivan Reitman to his son, Jason. But how did this film get made with the original cast so disparate? With Ben being such a Ghsotbusters fanatic, can he survive the onslaught of emotion this film subjects him to? And how does Satan decide on Demon Names?
