  The one where we review The End of Oak Street and The Last House

  Aug 16, 20261h 1mS9

  Directed by David Robert Mitchell, The End Of Oak Street is a gripping, high-concept sci-fi thriller. When a mysterious cosmic event rips a suburban neighbourhood out of 1982 and transports it straight into prehistoric times, a family led by Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor must set aside their marital strains to protect their children from prehistoric predators. Fun Flix Fact: Fun Flix Fact: Director David Robert Mitchell spent months working with paleontological consultants to ensure the dinosaurs featured in the neighbourhood's gardens were depicted with accurate shaggy plumage rather than traditional movie scales. Fun Flix Fact: The production built a massive, multi-acre suburban cul-de-sac set on a secure backlot, allowing the stunt coordinators to orchestrate massive practical creature attacks right between the houses. Streaming alongside our first review, the Louis Leterrier-directed sci-fi thriller The Last House stars Greta Lee and Wagner Moura as a Seattle couple whose family is inexplicably sealed inside their home when a mysterious global disaster strikes. Cut off from the outside world with dwindling resources, they must figure out how to survive whatever is lurking just beyond their doors. Fun Flix Fact: To authentically capture the claustrophobia of prolonged confinement, the production utilized a closed-set house build where the cast spent weeks filming in sequence, mirroring the characters' gradual psychological fraying. Fun Flix Fact: Director Louis Leterrier drew visual inspiration from classic disaster and containment films, utilizing subtle lighting shifts to show how the surrounding environment slowly consumes the suburban landscape over the course of the story. To celebrate the legacy of the 'contained thriller', we are looking back at the 2016 masterpiece 10 Cloverfield Lane . Given its undeniable link to the themes of forced confinement and paranoia, it is the ultimate companion piece to analyse alongside our main features. Fun Flix Fact: John Goodman famously remained in character as the imposing Howard Stambler even when the cameras weren't rolling, often avoiding the rest of the cast to maintain the chilling sense of isolation and distrust needed for the bunker scenes. Fun Flix Fact: The film’s claustrophobic finale was originally written to be much larger in scale, but director Dan Trachtenberg insisted on keeping the focus entirely on the lead character's survival, proving that 'less is more' when it comes to psychological terror.

  The one where we review Spider-Man: Brand New Day

  Aug 2, 20261h 2mS9

  Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up the pieces in a world that completely forgot Peter Parker exists. Tom Holland returns as a more mature, isolated wall-crawler dedicating every waking second to street-level protection. But the relentless pressure of fighting crime full-time—while watching his old friends move on—triggers a dangerous and unexpected physical evolution in his powers, setting the stage for a massive clash against high-level threats and a mysterious telepathic force. Fun Flix Fact: Tom Holland collaborated closely with director Destin Daniel Cretton to lean into the psychological toll of anonymity, purposely portraying a grittier, more frayed version of Peter Parker whose intense isolation begins manifesting in startling physical changes. Fun Flix Fact: The production utilised practical, street-level stunt coordination on location in New York and Atlanta to capture a grounded, gritty aesthetic that mirrors classic comic runs, distinguishing it visually from sprawling cosmic team-ups. To celebrate a decade of fractured friendships and high-stakes superhero politics, we are looking back at Anthony and Joe Russo’s Captain America: Civil War (2016) . We break down how this massive blockbuster successfully juggled a sprawling ensemble cast while redefining the emotional core of the MCU. Fun Flix Fact: The iconic, airport-tarmac battle sequence took over three weeks of night shoots to complete, utilising a massive blue-screen stage combined with practical hangar locations in Germany to ground the physics of the clash. Fun Flix Fact: Tom Holland’s debut performance as Spider-Man in this very film was kept under such tight wraps by Marvel that he wasn't even allowed to tell his friends which movie set he was flying off to shoot!

  Episode #8

  The one where we review The Furious

  Jul 29, 202655 minS9

  Directed by action maestro Kenji Tanigaki, The Furious delivers a non-stop, blood-soaked martial arts spectacle. The film follows Wang Wei (Xie Miao), a desperate father who goes on an absolute rampage to rescue his kidnapped daughter after local police turn a blind eye. His only ally is Navin (Joe Taslim)—a relentless journalist hunting for his own missing wife—leading an unlikely duo into an explosive showdown against a ruthless criminal syndicate featuring heavy-hitters like Yayan Ruhian and Jeeja Yanin. Fun Flix Fact: Director Kenji Tanigaki assembled an absolute dream-team "supergroup" of contemporary pan-Asian action talent, uniting stars from China, Indonesia, and Thailand to capture the high-kicking golden energy of classic Hong Kong cinema. Fun Flix Fact: Joe Taslim leaned heavily into his real-life competitive martial arts background—specifically utilizing his elite judo skills—to give his character's combat style a distinct, ground-based brutality that contrasts sharply with the film's flashier aerial acrobatics. To celebrate a major milestone in brutal, hallway-clearing action, we’re looking back at Gareth Evans’ The Raid: Redemption (2011). We break down how this Indonesian masterpiece completely redefined the modern action genre, turning a single apartment block into an unrelenting survival gauntlet. Fun Flix Fact: The film’s legendary fight choreography was developed over months of intensive training by lead star Iko Uwais and co-star Yayan Ruhian (who also brings the pain in The Furious !), utilizing the traditional Indonesian martial art of Pencak Silat to create lightning-fast, hyper-realistic combat. Fun Flix Fact: Despite looking like a massive-budget Hollywood production, the film was shot on a relatively modest indie budget in a single, purpose-built multi-story set in Jakarta, where the sweltering indoor heat and physical intensity forced the cast and crew to undergo daily medical checkups. And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.

  Episode #7

  The one where we review The Odyssey with special guest actor Andrei Lenart

  Jul 19, 20261h 10mS9

  This week is a monumental one for the show! We are tackling the cinematic event of the year: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (2026). And, to make this episode even more special, we are joined by cast member Andrei Lenart ! Directed by Christopher Nolan and shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film, The Odyssey isn't just a movie—it's a global experience. Starring Matt Damon as the war-weary Odysseus, the film charts his decade-long struggle to return to Ithaca after the Trojan War, weaving together his grueling sea voyage and the desperate situation back home with Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and Telemachus (Tom Holland). Fun Flix Fact: This production makes history as the very first feature film to be shot completely on IMAX film, pushing the boundaries of what large-format cameras can capture—from the desolate shores of the Scottish Moray Firth to the sun-drenched landscapes of Sicily and the sands of Western Sahara. Fun Flix Fact: The film’s "Trojan Horse" sequence is a masterclass in production design, reimagined by Nolan as a towering, unsettling monument that draws inspiration from Ozymandias and Planet of the Apes , turning the ancient trick into a dark, visceral centerpiece of the film’s opening act. We are thrilled to welcome Andrei Lenart to the show! Having worked on projects ranging from Kingsman: The Secret Service to Kill 'Em All 2 , Andrei brings an incredible physical intensity to the screen. We’ll be diving deep into what it’s actually like to work on a high-stakes, multi-country Nolan set. And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.

  Episode #6

  The one where we review Evil Dead Burn and Citizen Vigilante

  Jul 14, 20261h 7mS9

  The Evil Dead franchise is back, and director Sébastien Vaniček has delivered arguably the most grueling entry yet. Starring Souheila Yacoub , this film follows a grieving widow who seeks comfort with her estranged in-laws at a remote family home, only to discover that the house holds a dark, ancient secret. Fun Flix Fact: Principal photography took place in New Zealand over three months in late 2025, and the production team went through over 20,000 litres of fake blood to capture that signature Evil Dead intensity. Next, we’re tackling the most talked-about indie release of the year: Citizen Vigilante , directed by the always-provocative Uwe Boll . Starring Armie Hammer as a man taking the law into his own hands in a crumbling city, it’s a film that has sparked intense debate since its release in June. Fun Flix Fact: Following its digital release in June, the film became the #1 purchase on both Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video within days, proving that despite a modest $2 million budget, the project struck a massive nerve with audiences worldwide To celebrate a decade since one of the most claustrophobic and brilliant supernatural thrillers hit the screen, we’re looking back at The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) . André Øvredal’s masterpiece proves that you don’t need massive monsters to create pure, unrelenting dread—just a scalpel, a mysterious body, and a basement with no way out. Fun Flix Fact: Olwen Catherine Kelly, who played the titular "Jane Doe," had to remain completely motionless for hours on end, often while covered in layers of prosthetics and heavy makeup, to achieve the eerily lifelike (or deathlike) stillness required for the role. And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.
