In our 49th episode we review the David Fincher Thriller Gone Girl (2014). The film - written by Gillian Flynn - follows Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) as he searches for his missing wife (Rosamund Pike) while trying to keep himself off the suspect list. Tune in to hear us talk about the heavy themes brought by this film and probably gush about the great plot. Or maybe we hated it. Only way to find out is to listen, so do that. Please. Actually I'm not asking, this is an order. Listen now or be shot on sight. We didn't have any submissions this week, but if you're a creator and want to have your work reviewed, message us!

In our 48th episode we watch the amazing, the hilarious, the hot? Howard the Duck (1986) starring Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones and many, many Howards. Revel in our pain as we relive this maddening experience of a talking duck from another world and all his quips and mischievous deeds. Get ready for heads in hands and exasperated criticisms!

In our 47th episode, we review the film Malcolm & Marie (2021), written and directed by Sam Levinson. Starring Zendaya and John David Washington, this was the first film to be fully produced during the national lockdown in America and looks at the relationship between a film maker and his girlfriend while taking very explicit jabs at movie critics. We were obviously very hurt by these comments, but it’s ok, we’re strong, you don’t need to feel sympathy for us. Ben cried for 2 hours afterwards but he’s calmed down now.

In our 46th episode, we review the Comedy film Tag (2018), starring Ed Helms, Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner. The movie follows a group of men who have been playing a game of tag for 30 years as they try to tag their friend who has never been ‘it’. Tune in to hear our thoughts on whether this is good and discuss some very strange themes that arise over the film’s runtime. Also, there’s all that extra stuff we do at the end like giving you juicy stuff to watch/listen to. Come slurp it up! I’m sorry that was inappropriate, Ben edit this bit out. Ah whatever, no one reads this anyway. Not even Ben. Screw you, Ben! Also, recommendations?

In our 45th episode, we review the Jordan Peele horror, Us (2019), starring Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke. The film asks the classic horror question, what happens when you are hunted by yourself? We’ll talk about the highs, lows and our first experience with a Jordan Peele horror (I know, we haven’t seen Get Out, what an outrage).Maybe later on in the episode you’ll get some snazzy recommendations too, but no promises!

In episode 43 of the podcast, we subject ourselves to the 2019 movie Polar, starring the beloved Mads Mikkelson. The film follows an ex-hitman who must fight his way to retirement. Unfortunately, Mikkelson was not able to save some of this movie’s problems which we talk about on the podcast as we normally do. It would be a bit weird if we didn’t talk about the films we watched wouldn’t it? Maybe this episode should just be 1 hour of silence, it would serve you right! Jk jk… unless?

In today's episode we review the (long awaited?) Sharkboy and Lavagirl sequel, We Can Be Heroes (2020), written, directed and produced by Robert Rodriguez. As well as being the Narcos reunion we all wanted (with stars Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook), the film follows a group of superheroes’ kids as they try to save their parents and the world. Is it good? That’s the wrong question. The real question is ‘How bad is it?’ Well listen and find out you plonker!

In our 41st episode, we review a TV series for the first time in 33 episodes! The show in question is the 2018 horror-drama The Haunting of Hill House. Listen to us recall how much the director Mike Flanagan spooked us; experience our appreciation for the acting of stars such as Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Henry Thomas and maybe we will complain about jump scares which is what everyone seems to do nowadays. After the main segment, will you be struck in terror as we actually have a submissions spotlight? No. But listen anyway, pretty please?

In our 40th episode, we discuss the Boots Riley film Sorry to Bother You (2018), starring LaKeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson. Join us as we explore its surreal satire of modern business and working conditions and decide if it was good or a bit too strange. Get ready for a group of white guys talking about race issues and bafflement at the movie's inclusion of a bunch of human-horse hybrids called Equipsapiens.
