We're back with the second and final part of the review of the year as we conclude with the second half of 2024.William Fletcher

The show is back for another year and we're going through the first 6 months of 2024 to look back on what the podcast was looking forward to.William Fletcher

Two episodes back to back? You're goddamn right as we do the show's annual Christmas special with It's a Wonderful Life. It starts off fairly normally but at some point, we get to a discussion of Ricky Gervais so it falls into a usual standard for this show.William Fletcher

Looks like there's gonna be two episodes this week as the podcast looks through the history of Wallace & Gromit with a look at the shorts, the films and the work of Aardman as a whole.William Fletcher

One final directorial retrospective this year with a look at Robert Eggers career to tie into his upcoming adaptation of Nosferatu.William Fletcher

We only did a Disney film a couple of weeks ago but they just keep pumping out new films so we're looking at The Lion King (again) along with the two sequels and the 2019 remake.William Fletcher

One of the biggest gaps in podcast history is begin filled this week as we look at Lord of the Rings (but it's not the extended edition this week). We look at the history of the films coming to screen, Peter Jackson's career and, somehow and rather inexplicably, a comparison between Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man and Paddington 2.…

There's a sequel to Moana coming out soon but it's already been covered on the show so I guess we're covering Mulan this week? There's no real justification beyond the fact that they're both Disney princess films but we talk about Disney in general and there's a special guest who turns up in the episode.…

Gladiator II comes out soon so it's time to talk about the first Gladiator along with the career of Ridley Scott, the general gladiator genre and the similarities between the scores of Hans Zimmer. Also, in the episode we discuss the similarities between the score of Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean so here's a comparison of the scores along …

After a hectic and stressful week for some, there's some wholesome content this week with a discussion of the Paddington films to tie into the new film out soon. We look at the films and just the general output of Paul King.William Fletcher

We're covering a real classic for this year's Halloween special with the main item of discussion being the 1982 classic with the 1951, Thing From Another World on one side and the 2011 prequel of the same name (which causes some annoyance to say the least from us). We also talk about poor film endings and what we find scary. Because it's the spooky…

We've had a bit of a lack of superhero podcasts this year so we're gonna tackle the Venom films which aren't even really superhero films so it barely even counts. Anyway, look forward to our impressions of the song and just general Spider-Man chatter.William Fletcher

You may or may not be aware that I covered What We Do in the Shadows already in the history of the podcast but that was early on and not up to the standards of modern quality so here's a more modern look to tie into the release of the show's final season with talks on the career of Taika Waititi, New Zealand Accents and Danny Trejo somehow.…

We're dealing with the realm of comic book films again this week but this time we're going for the far more serious (at least it sets out to be) Joker and we look at the film itself, other interpretations of the character and the future films.William Fletcher

We're doing another classic this week. Well, rather a trilogy of classics with a look at The Godfather and sequels but will we find the films to be worthy of this praise?William Fletcher

As opposed to doing a multiple episode run on a director's entire career, we have condensed this done to one episode (more out of time constraints than anything else) so we do a full retrospective look at Burton's entire career with talks of his various partners, the biopic genre as well as getting a bit deeper as we go on.…

We conclude our Alien retrospective with a look at the more controversial films in the series and we even get a contender for worst film ever covered on the podcast.William Fletcher

The next few episodes of the show will be massive retrospectives and this week will be the beginning of a retrospective of the Alien franchise with looks at the original 4 films as well as discussing the careers of each director and the Predator franchise.William Fletcher

After a more mature episode last week with Deadpool, we go to the opposite of the spectrum with a far more family oriented episode looking at SpongeBob SquarePants and the film franchise that has spawned from it.William Fletcher

The podcast makes it's return with a look at world of X-Men with a discussion on the Deadpool films as well as a look at the upcoming film and a state of the nation look at the MCU.William Fletcher

How else can we follow up Bad Boys? Well, we follow up with another look back at Pixar's filmography with Inside Out to tie into the release of its sequel. Be warned though, it might get a bit emotional this week.William Fletcher

After another extended break, the show has returned with a look at the Bad Boys franchise to tie into the upcoming release of Bad Boys: Ride or Die and I'm joined by special guest Allen Turing, host of the Diminishing Returns Podcast and the British Sitcom History Podcast. We talk about the films themselves as well as general film history of 90s ac…

We conclude our brief Planet of the Apes retrospective with a look at Tim Burton's 2001 remake before really focusing on the Andy Serkis reboot trilogy to tie into the release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Oh, and it's also the 150th episode!William Fletcher

We are starting a two part retrospective this week by looking back at the 1968 classic, Planet of the Apes as well as the 4 sequels which cause some slight anger and annoyance which leads to conversations on religion, the Simpsons and certain ethical time-travel problems.William Fletcher

We are diving back into the realm of Pixar with a look back at a classic work of Pixar and it's less than incredible sequel.William Fletcher

After another brief hiatus, the show has returned with a retrospective look at the career of Alex Garland's directorial filmography plus a handful of pitstops with his earlier written work. Also, apologies for some slightly warbly audio on my end. Everything should be back to normal for the next episode.…

The show is looking back at another classic of cinema with a retrospective look at the Ghostbusters franchise with the ups and downs of not just this franchise but also the current state of cinema.William Fletcher

The first tie-in episode of 2024 is here with a look at the 2004 cult hit Mean Girls as well as discussions of our own less than popular high school careers.William Fletcher

After a severe delay to the first episode of 2024, we look back at the second half of 2023 with discussions on all the films the show was tying episodes into.William Fletcher

2023 is nearly coming to a close and what a better way than looking back and celebrating (mostly) the films released in 2023? At least, for the first half of the year. It'd be too long otherwise.William Fletcher

The podcast is getting into the festive spirit this week covering a film that is celebrating it's 20th Anniversary with Love Actually.William Fletcher

The final look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe for 2023 is a look back at Captain Marvel but to be honest, there isn't a whole lot say as will be reflected in this episode's length.William Fletcher

Despite another delay, the show continues with a look at Martin Scorsese's career overall but with a few major pitstops at his most iconic work with discussions devolving into impressions and complaints about film length.William Fletcher

After a severe delay, the podcast is back with the conclusion on Edgar Wright's filmography and as was implied in the last episode, there are much bigger clashes this time around.William Fletcher

Apologies for a shorter episode this week (we've got some interesting stuff in the works currently on the film The Meg in anticipation? of its sequel which releases this week. Honestly, we just spend most of this episode complaining, so if you're a fan of complaining, this is the one for you.William Fletcher
