Kev & Drew discuss the hot topic this week with the surprising but well deserved success of the new Marvels movie. This is a change in tone for the studio and we feel this has paid off as we can't stop thinking about it. Marvel should be simple and cinematic with lots of CGI, this feels like an indie film with practical effects and dramatic actors with deep character performances that make you care about all the individuals. It is hilarious at times without being silly and emotional through

Where do we start, which level, reality or dreams? Kev and Drew try to get to grips with the notoriously confusing movie from the master of time, ambiguity and existentialism. This movie from 2010 was marked as one of the first times that Blockbusters stopped placating its audience as Nolan went for the cerebral approach trusting the audience would engage and enjoy the respect he gave us offering us the ability to debate the plot, themes and of course that frustrating ending. What is your opinion

[Spoiler Review 16] Terminator 2: Judgment Day

2025/04/14

T2 is back in the cinema which prompts this discussion as it is a classic 90s action movie and the quintessential Schwarzenegger performance. We have all seen it so many times but we were too young to see in the cinema first time round. Kev managed to catch it recently on the big screen which reignites all the 90s childhood memories of watching this when we were too young. We feel this is even better than we remember and not just a standard action movie, it is so much more.

The nation is talking about this new Netflix series written by Stephen Graham & Jack Thorne. A story of a 13 year old boy being arrested and accused of murdering a girl in his class. This realistic, gritty, intense and powerful story is perfectly acted with believable vulnerability and emotion and the 1 shot per episode really adds to the technicality of the crew and makes the audience live in the moment, experiencing everything in real time.

A wild horror movie from the mind of Stephen King and the adaptation and directing from Osgood Perkins (Long Legs) and another Marvel film, or is it more than just another Marvel film?

We discuss the most talked about movie of 2024 and it's still a hot topic and highly relevant. This movie is a feast for the eyes with the exceptional cinematography, colour pallet, editing style and impressive directing by a Coralie Fargeat, the only female director who is nominated for an Oscar in a category full of men and we all agree deserves to win. The only problem is that horror films don't do well at the Oscars but hopefully things are about to change. This is the rebirth of Demi
