Ep 25: The Annabelle Trilogy: No, Yes, Maybe?

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2026/02/27

Well it’s official I am a horror movie fan and I couldn’t be happier to finally be one haha! It’s been a journey but genuinely enjoying and appreciating horror films is something I never thought I would see myself claiming so yayIn today’s episode I give a review and have a bit of a look into the Annabelle trilogy. Look in all honesty this series is not the most well done or scariest series to ever grace screens but it’s nice that they were able to build out ‘The Conjuring’ universe further and give

Ep 25: My Fave A24 Films

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2026/02/16

A24 is truly a gift that keeps on giving and having only seen 30-40 films form their library? collection? assortment? I am beyond stoked to deep dive further into what they have produced!Today however, I reflect on a few of the films I have seen that have stood out and been some of my favourite thus far. Having mentioned it about 3,000 times in the episode, ‘X’ is actually my fave but I cannot talk about my girl Maxine without talking about my girl Pearl, so stay tuned for a trilogy review of our

2026/02/09

Hello and welcome back to The Crook Cut! Wowza I truly never thought I would watch and enjoy the film in ‘The Conjuring’ universe but here I am and dare I say, I am officially a fan!A bit of a different episode as I explore my thoughts and feelings across ‘The Conjuring’ entries where we see faith, love and family bonds being the backbone of each movie (as well as a demon or three :0).It is important to acknowledge that each of the films make reference to real life cases and real experiences however

Ep 23: …it was all yellow…

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2026/02/04

Hello and welcome back to The Crook Cut! Today I discuss three movies with three completely different stories, but one thing in common…the colour yellow!I’ve always loved movie posters and the way they begin telling a story before you even press play. While each film I discuss explores heavier themes and the tougher parts of life, I like to think the colour in each poster reinforces the hope they ultimately leave us with.*trigger warnings for the movie discussed, please research them if needed

Ep 19: Horror Movies - Nuh-Uh!

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2025/07/28

As long as I can remember I have been afraid of horror movies. Any and all, in any capacity, ever. A self-proclaimed scaredy cat if you will.The last few months I’ve been really trying to switch that narrative by watching more scary movies and finding more appreciation in the genre all together. Reflecting on how I became such a scaredy cat, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the movies I watched that scared me beyond belief that I vowed never to watch any more.In today’s episode I discuss those films

Ep 18: Wes Anderson DOES NOT Miss

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2025/07/25

It’s no secret that Wes Anderson is my fave director.His artistry in film is something I truly admire and as I mention a PLETHORA of times in today’s ep – I think he’s hacked the making of a great film. Stunning visuals, encapsulating the human experience in unique ways and fun characters are just some of the ways his movies reek of charm and charisma. I hope you enjoy my take and thoughts in today’s ep, and Wes in the event you see this, thank you for your artistry and the impact you have had on

Ep, 17 – The Mess Of The ‘ABCs Of Death’

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2025/07/21

!!EVERY POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING YOU COULD THINK OF FOR THIS MOVIE!!26 directors + 26 letters in the alphabet + an idea + a less than good outcome = ‘The ABCs of Death’ (2012).An anthology series with a common theme of ‘death’ threaded through, falls flat at almost every turn. In today’s episode I discuss why I think it didn’t quite hit the mark and what it could’ve looked like instead.While I don’t recommend the movie as a whole, the few shorts discussed / listed below are, in my opinion, a step

Ep 16: My Most Re-Watched Movies

The Crook Cut: The Movie Podcast ·

2025/07/18

In my formative years I discovered films that changed my life, altered my brain chemistry and shaped me into the person I am today. While most of those movies I now watch as adult and cringe so hard that I identified with them so much, there a few that still and will always stand out. They became the movies that I watched every school holidays, special occasions, sleepovers or just because I found comfort in them. These movies are but a few of those :)Spoilers ahead but I have timestamped the movies
