  • An Inspector Calls
    May 17 2025

    In a change from the norm the lads take a look at and listen to the J.B. Priestly play An Inspector Calls. Still used as part of the GCSE English Literature exams it's a bit of a classic. Written in 1945 and based on a time period of 1912 it's a tale of the moralities of society during the time period and how people are often tenuously connected with massive cumulative affects on an individual. Thanks Poppy for the suggestion!

  • Full Metal Jacket 1987
    May 3 2025

    Is Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubrick's best film? It has to be up there. Telling the story of a platoon of young marines during the Vietnam war. A film of two halves the first showing the brutal training involved in training for war the second half the brutal reality of being in a war situation. With competition from Platoon, Apocalypse Now and The deer Hunter for the title of best Vietnam war film it has to be in with a shout.

  • Carry-On 2024
    Mar 16 2025

    This week we take look at the 2024 film Carry-On. Ethan, played by Aaron Egerton, is a customs officer or as they call them in America a TSA agent who's a bit of a slacker that ends up being forced to let a bomb pass through his x-ray machine. The terrorist played by Jason Bateman really knows his stuff and everything about Ethan. The first half of the film is really quite engaging however with the introduction of god knows how many side plots looses it way eventually becoming a confusing mess! Listen on to hear what we thought.

  • Jurassic Park (1993) 65 (2023)
    Mar 9 2025

    This week we take a look back at the 1993 Seven Spielberg classic Jurassic Park. The first real dinosaur movie to use ground breaking effects and a story line that's yet to be equaled. With a fantastic cast that all perform brilliantly the first true blockbuster!

    We also take a look at the more recent dinosaur offer 65. With a cast of two and a somewhat rushed storyline how if at all can 65 compare to Jurassic Park?
