    Jul 11 2025

    Another sad passing to mark this week, as we salute the Admiral Piett actor for the final time.

    We then roundup all the TV we have and have not been watching lately. Plus there's a couple of stories about water, for... reasons.

    Following that is our main event, and this week we are reviewing 1999's End of Days. Schwarzenegger vs The Devil! What's not to love? Well, a few things apparently.

    The episode concludes with our Last Chance Cinema Club section, before Steff picks next week's movie from the two options Hutch presents him.

  • The Dogs Always Know: Michael Madsen Tribute, Street Fighter and Running Man Remakes, Denis Villeneuve’s Bond, Swan Song Movie Review
    Jul 4 2025

    The boys are back from holiday and can now regale us of their Croatian odyssey. In short, Hutch was mainly sat by the pool, but at least Steff took some culture in.

    It’s also a bumper news week, as we discuss a couple of remakes of “beloved” movies and a new entry in a classic franchise. We also mark the sad passing of actor Michael Madsen.

    It’s 2021’s Swan Song being reviewed this week, and after Steff figured out the right movie to watch, discussion can begin. Is it light on the sci-fi? Yes. But is it light on the thrills? Also yes. But there’s lots to enjoy as well.

    We round off the week with our usual trip down Last Chance Cinema lane, before finishing with a jaunt along Picking Next Week’s Film To Review avenue.

  • I AM THE LAW: Adventures in Babysitting, Dredd Movie Review
    Jun 27 2025

    Send us a text

    Spielberg's shark based magnum opus is the subject of some therapy for our intrepid duo this week, as we cover the news that Jaws turns 50 years old.

    This week's movie is 2012's DREDD. Certainly not to be confused with 1995's JUDGE DREDD, which we will barely be mentioning...

    There's also a sophisticated chat around the latest movies to leave Prime this week; in our Last Chance Cinema section, before Steff selects one of Hutch's submissions for next week's review.

  • May the Schwartz Be With You Again: Spaceballs 2, Will Smith, Warner Bros., Predator Killer of Killers Review

    The boys have gone all trendy and modern this week, reviewing a cartoon movie that came out five minutes ago. It’s opened Hutch up to a whole new world, but Steff’s gammy eyes are stopping him from truly enjoying it.

    But before that, there’s a bumper news section to get through, with plenty to talk about. Highlights are a rough version of Star Wars; heavy metal gigs; video games, and the big one- it’s the sequel we thought we’d never see…

    Rounding things off, there’s our usual Last Chance Cinema section, and the picking of next week’s film for review.

  • McG String: The Empire Strips Back Show, Terminator Salvation Movie Review
    Jun 13 2025

    Send us a text

    From R rated content last time, to (sort of) X rated this week- Steff tells us all about his "entirely-for-research" visit to the burlesque Star Wars parody show currently touring the country.

    To come down off all that excitement, we review 2009's Terminator Salvation. The franchise comprises of some excellent films (the first and second ones) and some real robo turds (everything else). But where abouts does this one sit in the oeuvre?

    Elsewhere, there's some scratching around for films leaving Prime soon, in Last Chance Cinema Club, and Hutch goes all modern and cartoony for next week's movie review pick.

  • I’m Backwards: Star Wars News, Tenet Movie Review
    Jun 6 2025

    Send us a text

    It’s Christopher Nolan’s palindromic reverse-athon “Tenet” under the review microscope this week. Perversely, the boys may not actually know what they are talking about for once.

    But before we get into that, there’s some Star Wars news to be had, which gives Hutch another excuse to talk about Andor, and more R rated content.

    Steff takes us through a frankly spartan Last Chance Cinema Club section, before giving Hutch his customary two choices for next week’s episode.

  • Rated 'R' for Reynolds: Andor Season 2 Roundup, Ryan’s Star Wars Movie, Buckaroo Banzai Review
    May 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Just when you thought it was over, the boys produce another fine helping of scintillating Andor conversation. This time covering the series as a whole and answering the big question- was it as good as the first one?

    There's also some other Star Wars news, as we kick around ideas for an 18 certificate Star Wars movie.

    Then it’s finally time to return to the actual topic of the podcast- reviewing overlooked/underappreciated/incomprehensible movies.

    This week the spotlight falls upon 80’s nonsense The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (yes that’s really the name).

    Has Steff’s curiosity turned up a diamond in the rough? Or just…more roughness? Hutch thinks he knows…

    Elsewhere, there’s a roundup of films exiting Prime in Last Chance Cinema Club, and next week’s film is selected with the usual pomp and circumstance.

  • The Day Will Come: Andor Season 2, Episodes 10-12 Review
    May 23 2025

    Send us a text

    All too soon, we have reached the end of the latest Star Wars series. This week we deep dive into the final three episodes of Andor season 2.

    It's been a grand showing so far- but does it finish strong, or does it drop the ball?

    Steff manages to tear Hutch away from talking about it for five minutes, to do some Last Chance Cinema Club goodness.

    Next week we will review the series as a whole and discuss it in the wider galactic context. We also return to our show's actual topic, and watch a movie to talk about.
