  #306 - Zero Dark Thirty

  Aug 17, 20261h 20m

  Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty saw the director returning to the theater of war in the Middle East this time examining the long road to finding the most wanted man in history. Jessica Chastain stars as a fresh faced agent tasked with the impossible but armed with any amount of human rights violations to get it done. A brilliant supporting cast brings tension and excitement to even the quieter tradecraft scenes in the film balancing out the equally enthralling action throughout. We sing our praises for the modern master of tension however the film isn't without its flaws and ethical blackspots but at least even at its darkest, the night scenes are still viewable.

  #305 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day

  Aug 10, 20261h 44m

  Oh that me? Pure aura. Press tours, polyester edits and a hunger for Tom to return as Spidey on our big screens after a 5 year drought has created the worlds newest and fastest billion dollar movie. No multiverse, no surprise cameo's, a world of quality. Holland and friends play their characters better than ever, and new comer Sadie Sink is fierce in her role introducing the next era of the MCU. The film walks a fine line of getting caught up in the past and being overstuffed however just like its titular character is able to mutate into something better and truly exciting.

  #304 - Sin City

  Aug 3, 20261h 30m

  We're back with another Frank Miller adaptation, again at the hands of a mediocre director who sure as hell has flair. The testosterone fueled anthology film features a star studded cast including Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and genuinely so much more as they reckon with the corruption and violence of Basin City. With a style that truly transports you into the pages of a comic book this notorious noughties films has seemingly stood the test of time and even in this age of cinema saturated with comic adaptations it remains worth seeking out. We continue the comic coverage in news chat as we go over some huge casting news out of last weeks Marvel panel at SDCC before launching into our favourite modern desaturated films.

  #303 - The Odyssey

  Jul 29, 20262h 20m

  Defy the gods and the source material Once again a Christopher Nolan film gets discussed and dissected by three adoring white fan boys, with his most recent effort being an adaptation of Homer's epic, The Odyssey. An incredibly old story about a man going there and back again with the help and hinderance of some wacky creatures. Each of us have a different relationship to the source but that doesn't really stop the universal glaze that this session ended up being. This film is the ultimate expression of Nolan's sensibilities that he has been nurturing and presenting to us across his 20+ year career, with a cast and crew of familiar faces and some new, delivering a powerful (and very large) entirely shot on IMAX epic that has been promised and teased for over a decade now. The hype doesn't end with the review though, as we cover some huge trailer news as well as discussing hype that we don't buy into.

  #302 - The Gray Man

  Jul 20, 20261h 12m

  After years of threatening to get around to it, we’ve finally watched and reviewed Netflix’s globe trotting action thriller The Gray Man (2022). Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film stars Ryan Gosling as an elite CIA operative, with Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, and Billy Bob Thornton. We compare the Russo brothers’ work here to the rest of their filmography and discuss how their reputation has evolved outside of the shadow of their enormous Marvel successes. The cast is put to varying levels of use, though Chris Evans steals plenty of scenes as the delightfully sociopathic Lloyd Hansen, while the globe spanning action sequences prove mostly entertaining. Where the real debate begins is over the screenplay, particularly the quality of its dialogue and dramatic moments. Is it quality? Is it Netflix slop? Is it quality Netflix slop? And what even qualifies as slop? These are the pressing questions we attempt to answer before delivering our final verdict. Then after the review, we each reveal our favourite Netflix slop shows.
