Date Night: Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/01/16

Finally, after what seems like a 1,984 year wait, the latest instalment of the DC Extended Universe has arrived in our little part of the world. Reviews have been 'mixed' so far, to say the least so which side of the debate do we fall on? What did Elaine make of the eighties setting? And what does Mark like to do when at an airport heading home from a holiday? All this and more. PLEASE NOTE... Whilst we normally cover spoiler-free thoughts as part of our review, we got a little excited and went

2020/12/29

2020 is nearly over (yay!), so we're taking the opportunity to rank, discuss, and in some cases, disagree on our favourite movies of the year. Which film did Mark think can only be described with the use of the F-word? Has Elaine even seen 10 films this year? Will we finish the podcast in time to catch the end of the darts?

2020/11/29

In this week’s show, we try to answer the important questions, like “is Mark is still obsessed with Championship Manager 2001/02?” and “how *do* you pronounce the name, Lana?”. We’ve also had another trip to hospital (everything’s fine) and a visit to the Covid test centre (everything’s fine) so be prepared for a slightly random and tired pod. We’ve not had much sleep… In TV, we praise the BBC’s Masterchef: The Professionals (7:20) and Elaine’s been watching The Vow (16:37) a Sky documentary into

Saved By The Bell is back and Mark cannot contain himself! We take an unexpected dive into Mad Mikkelsen’s career during our Fantastic Beasts 3 chat. We are loving CNN’s coverage of the US election. Jurassic World: Dominion has wrapped, so we take the opportunity to look back (in a rather haphazard way!) at the franchise. And, finally, even though we said we wouldn’t talk about cinema delays anymore we can’t help but discuss the rumour that Wonder Woman 1984 might be going to HBO Max… Follow us:
