  • Death Of A Unicorn (2025): Paul Rudd Hits a Unicorn But Can Capitalism Hit Back?
    May 18 2025

    Ben and Rob autopsy ‘Death Of A Unicorn’, A24’s latest horror comedy starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Richard E Grant and Will Poulter. ‘Death Of A Unicorn’ tells the tale of a father-daughter duo who hit a mythical beast with their car and somehow end up in a biotech conspiracy full of blood, mythology and not-so-subtle satire.

    Is this film a takedown of late-stage capitalism or just a weird flex from a studio that knows we’ll watch anything as long as the lighting is moody enough? Why do the unicorns change colour? Has ‘Death of a Unicorn’ given us the horn or has A24 finally missed the mark? Wait, this a true story!?

  • Dark City (1998): The Movie That Could Have Been 'The Matrix'
    May 11 2025

    Ben and Rob wake up in ‘Dark City’, the dark sci-fi fantasy from Alex Proyas, director of ‘The Crow’. Released a year before ‘The Matrix’, ‘Dark City’ tells the story of John Murdock (Rufus Sewell), a man who has lost his memory in a city that never sees the sun where memory and time itself are the playthings of a race of alien beings known only as The Strangers. ‘Dark City’ was a critical success but a complete box-office bomb, with Alex Proyas ultimately blaming a studio that didn’t support the film correctly.

    But what on earth made ‘Dark City’ the cult classic sci-fi fantasy that film forgot, when it’s so nearly ‘The Matrix’? Why does the theatrical version spoil almost all of the movie in the opening seconds? Can Ben make peace with this plot!? And what’s Richard O Brien from Rocky Horror doing in here?

  • Critters (1986): The Fentanyl Furbies Terrifying A Small Farm Town
    May 4 2025

    Ben and Rob discover ‘Critters’, the 1986 horror comedy from practical FX masterminds The Chiodo Brothers. When intergalactic creatures escape space jail, a small Kansas farmhouse must now deal with the critter menace with only alien futurecops to help them. Released in the wake of ‘Gremlins’ but written long before, ‘Critters’ made good at the box office and has become cult favourite horror comedy in the decades since it’s release.

    But underneath ‘Critters’ craziness, is there a darker undercurrent of communist paranoia? Or perhaps an even deeper foretelling of a future American crisis? Have we proved that ‘Critters’ tells the future?!
