  The End of Oak Street VS The Devil's Mouth; Tony VS Possession

  Aug 13, 202656 min

  – Introduction & Eclipse Banter: Tosin introduces the panel (Shaun, Sharon, and Holly) on the day of the solar eclipse before diving into this week's lineup. – What We’ve Been Watching: Shaun recaps his marathon cinema trip ( The Odyssey , The End of Oak Street , Spider-Man , and secret screening Tony ), while Holly and Tosin share their home streaming picks. – Cinema Review: The End of Oak Street Shaun’s Rating: $3 / 5$ Details: A suburban neighbourhood gets transported into a pre-historic time zone filled with dinosaurs. Featuring Ewan McGregor doing a noticeably "hammy" American accent, this B-movie creature feature stays silly, convenient, and doesn't take itself too seriously. – Streaming Review: The Devil’s Mouth Holly’s Rating: $1.5 / 5$ Details: Starring Kathryn Newton. A group of friends on holiday in Thailand go cave diving in "The Devil's Mouth" freshwater caves when things go wrong. Too mediocre to be a fun "bad" shark movie, it delivers a predictable, middle-of-the-road experience. – Cinema Review: Tony Shaun’s Rating: $3 / 5$ Sharon’s Rating: $3.25 / 5$ Details: A secret screening capturing a formative summer in 1975 for a young Anthony Bourdain (played by Dominic Sessa). Directed by the director of La Varna: The Band, The Show, The Movie , and co-starring Antonio Banderas as a restaurateur. While a bit detached for UK audiences unfamiliar with Bourdain's legacy, it captures an authentic mid-70s vibe. – Streaming Review: Possession Holly’s Rating: $4.5 / 5$ Details: A 5-part Sky series starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a UK lawyer investigating a £50M estate in Jamaica left to a mysterious recipient named Kojo East. Beautifully shot, it delves into themes of Caribbean spiritualism, history, and the complex layers of "possession." – The Scorecard & Winner Selection: Tosin tallies up the ratings to crown this week's champion. – Feedback Corner & Catch-Up: The crew discusses The Boys Season 5, The Odyssey , Spider-Man , and responds to listener comments from YouTube. (Thanks to Sharon upgrading her score for Tony to $3.25$, Cinema narrowly edged out Streaming by just $0.0625$ points!) The Boys (Season 5): Tosin gives his take on Season 5, feeling the show dragged out plotlines and reached around for reasons to keep going when it could have wrapped up a season earlier. The Odyssey & Spider-Man (Brand New Day): Shaun notes The Odyssey felt drawn out toward the end, whereas Spider-Man felt like a well-executed reboot. Shoutouts & Listener Comments: A special mention to Ute and her daughter Elizabeth (who worked on set for Spider-Man !). Shoutouts to YouTube commenters JG , Yohan Beatrice , Matthew Phelan , and LMS Land for their essays, movie hot-takes, and for declaring Tosin the podcast's resident "health nut."
