This week we’re watching 2014’s Edge Of Tomorrow.

Welcome to our final episode in this mini-series about genre movie that we love from an era - of Marvel dominance - that we don’t.

Our film this week is Nath's pick and he's gone for Edge Of Tomorrow, a criminally under-appreciated time-loop sci-fi packed with action, humour, and nasty aliens. Altogether now… "Battle is the great redeemer…"

Continuing our journey through excellent genre movies of the Marvel era, this week we're watching Dave's pick - Dredd (2012). Directed by Peter Travis, written by Alex Garland and starring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Heady, this no-nonsense sci-fi romp is all action, one-liners and impossible chins - a brutal if uncomplicated look at what the world might be like if everything became a massive city with all the bad guys living in fortified tower blocks.

Don't worry about whether that's a bit problematic and just enjoy the ride.

This week we're watching Hereditary (2018).

Inspired by a recent listener comment, we're pausing our negativity around Marvel-era filmmaking and instead focusing on the positives. We've each picked one (1) genre from the broadly defined Marvel Era (roughly 2010 onwards) to celebrate smart, commercial movies.

We're starting with Rob's pick, Ari Aster's horror debut, Hereditary. Poor Dave, poor that bird, poor everyone in the film. Try to watch ahead of listening - the spoilers are deep and immediate - and please enjoy this wild, grief-filled ride with us.
