Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/11/27

Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc returns to the big screen – this time swapping Autumn for Summer, as we find our lead, and the ensemble cast, heading to a private island where another murder mystery unfolds. Rian Johnson has yet again released a fun and clever mystery that has plenty of twists and turns (and laughs) to keep all entertained. I very much can’t wait to rewatch and pick up on things I missed first time round, but more importantly, I cannot wait to see Daniel Craig return as Blanc in more of

The Menu

2022/11/21

Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy & Nicholas Hoult star in Mike Mylod’s 'The Menu' – cooking up a mix of thriller and comedy in suspenseful fashion. The film centres around this lavish restaurant where Fiennes’ Chef Slowik has whipped up some surprises in addition to his elegant food menu. A decent enough story with some top performances, 'The Menu' is certainly worth the watch if you’re a thriller fan who likes a good laugh as well– or in particular a foody!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

2022/11/16

'Wakanda Forever' is the long-awaited sequel to the brilliant first installment, but one that was surrounded by tragedy. Ryan Coogler and co have done the impossible and created a brilliant sequel with themes of grief and loss, but also has managed to honour Chadwick Boseman’s legacy. With that, lets dive into the film with lightish spoilers

2022/11/07

Martin McDonagh reunites with Colin Farrell and Brenden Gleeson in his latest release 'The Banshees of Inisherin', bringing us laughs as well as the occasional gut punch throughout. With an excellent script as well as performances and cinematography, ‘Banshees’ sits perfectly on the list of top releases for 2022. Spoiler free thoughts in this ep

House of the Dragon (Season 1, Pt 2)

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/11/04

We return to Westeros in this week’s episode to discuss episodes 6-10 of 'House of the Dragon'! The first 5 episodes were solid, and the remaining episodes upped the intensity, bringing us closer to war for these characters. With fantastic performances from new cast members Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke, as well as tremendous storytelling, the show is going from strength to strength. Joined again by my good friend Jamie W as we go over as much as we can on what has been a fantastic first season

Black Adam

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/10/27

Dwayne Johnson is Black Adam. This film has been one that Johnson has been pushing and determined to release for a number of years, and you can certainly tell it’s a character he cares a lot about. The film has some excellent action sequences and set pieces, and even has a dash of some great comedy within, but more importantly, it has a good story – something not all DC releases have had. With changes happening behind the scenes at DC and WB, and with Johnson’s helping hand, the future of DC is

Starring Marlon Wayans, Priah Ferguson and Kelly Rowland, we find this family make their way to a new town where a curse brings to life decorations at Halloween – and the fun really begins! With some nice laugh out loud moments and tongue in cheek action, this film is perfect for all the family to watch around spooky season. Spoiler free thoughts in this ep

Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/10/21

One of the more uncomfortable watches of late was sitting through 'Dahmer – Monster' which hit Netflix last month, created by Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan. The show has caused a stir with critics and audiences – and, understandably, the families of the victims. The show reflects and presents Dahmer’s life, and the monster that he was – brilliantly performed by Evan Peters, but also highlights the systematic racism and homophobia that allowed Dahmer to continue for as long as he did.

SAW

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/10/14

In 2004, James Wan and Leigh Whannell unleashed the small indie-horror film 'SAW' into cinemas – and boy, did it go down well. Grossing over $100 million at the box office, the film generated sequel after sequel – taking over Halloween and becoming one of the most profitable horror franchises ever. The first film is still my favourite, and one of my all-time favourite releases. From tremendous acting to the twists and turns the script provides, 'SAW' is one film I had to revisit on the pod for

Werewolf By Night

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/10/10

Directed by the fantastic Michael Giacchino, 'Werewolf by Night' is something fresh and new which is exactly what I have been craving from Marvel. With homages to 1930s horror and aesthetics and packed with some camp, but striking horror, 'Werewolf By Night' is a fantastic watch around the Halloween season. Giacchino certainly has showcased his directorial talent, whilst providing a lovely score also. Catch full thoughts in this ep

JAWS

The Cabin in the Woods

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/29

What starts out as a typical 'teens go to spend the weekend in a cabin' scary movie, 'The Cabin in the Woods' takes some sinister, but fun, twists. This film blew my little mind back in 2011, with its meta horror, as well as showcasing it’s many influences. Serving as almost a love letter to the classics, 'The Cabin in the Woods' ticks a lot of boxes, as well as mixes things up and reinvigorates the genre in fantastic fashion. Catch full spoiler thoughts in this episode!

House of the Dragon (Season 1, Pt 1)

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/23

The muchly anticipated spin off to Game of Thrones, 'House of the Dragon' has finally hit screens recently, and after 5 episodes I am HOOKED. The performances from Milly Alcock, Matt Smith & Paddy Considine - along with a fantastic supporting cast - have all been tremendous, as too the writing for this season. In this extended episode - I’m joined by my good friend Jamie W, as we discuss as much as we can about the season so far. Spoilers within!

See How They Run

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/20

We love a good murder mystery don’t we! ‘See How They Run’ takes us back to the 50s for this whodunnit flick, as the cast of Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ begin to fall at the hands of a mysterious killer – enter Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan to solve the crime (Ronan absolutely steels the show with her performance). Directorial debut for Tom George who straight away shows the audience his influences (Mr Wes Anderson would be extremely pleased with the aesthetics), and brings us a great time at

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Pt 1)

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/15

We return to Middle Earth as we discuss the first 3 episodes of the new series that has just hit Amazon Prime; 'The Rings of Power'. LOTR is easily one of my favourite stories and film sagas, and as mentioned previously, I have been a little unsure how this series would go. Safe to say it’s been a little bumpy, however there has been a lot to enjoy within the first 3 episodes – especially visually if not always the story. With spoilers, catch some of my thoughts so far in this latest ep

The Gray Man

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/09

Finally managed to check out the latest release from the Russo Brothers, starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana De Armas; 'The Gray Man'. The film has SO many different locations as well as plenty of action to digest, and excellent performances from its leads. However, it can be a little over facing at times, and the film does feel longer than its runtime, but overall, I enjoyed this action/spy flick. Full thoughts in this episode

Edge of Tomorrow

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/05

After being recommended by so many, I finally caught ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ at the weekend. I am extremely late to the party, however I very much enjoyed this sci fi/action flick starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt from 2014 – both putting in some excellent performances, as well as great chemistry between the two of them. The film has a familiar sense with its influences, however, it has something new and refreshing about it – and also feels like you're playing a video game. Catch full thoughts in this

Samaritan

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/09/02

Sylvester Stallone’s latest film 'Samaritan' finds him playing Joe Smith, a retired superhero known as Samaritan, laying low following a battle many years ago that cost the life of his twin brother, and villain, Nemesis. Stumbling into his life is young starry-eyed Sam Cleary, who still believes in superheroes – and believes Joe is in fact Samaritan. The films tone is a little all over the place, and though there is good chemistry with Stallone’s Joe and Walton’s Sam, everything else is very flat

Godzilla (2014)

Joe Bloggs About Films ·

2022/08/31

On the back of his excellent work with 'Monsters' in 2010, Gareth Edwards was handed the director’s chair for 'Godzilla'- and what a job he did. This film was one I was extremely excited for, being a big fan of the title character, and I was not disappointed. From the special effects, the score, the performances (in particular Cranston’s), 'Godzilla' became one of my all-time favourites- and one that I’ve wanted to chat about for a while!
