Two Friends Watch
The Duellist
With The Martian due out this week and winning plaudits from left and right, we thought we’d take the time to revisit Ridley Scott’s debut feature from 1977. We found The Duellists to stand high in the famous director’s body of work, a must for anyone with an appreciation for period pieces. 39 mins

Oblivion
Good morning everyone. This week we are looking at the 2013 movieOblivion, an interesting end-of-the-world alien-apocalypse story. Although this movie isn’t greatI think that the poor reception during it’s initial release wasmainly based on general publicopinion of Tom Cruise at the time. Which is a shame really as a movie should be based on its…

General Chat – The Movie Industry in the Near Future
This podcast was born from the short time Andrew and I worked together on a radio show at uni. One thing we had in the radio show which is slightly diminished in the podcast is the amount of general chat we had. Thoughts, opinions about the world, nonsense, that sort of thing. To make up…

Star Wars – Return of the Jedi
And so our hexalogy of Star Wars retrospective reviews draws to a close with Andrew and Donald’s thoughts on the end of the original series, 1983’s “Return of the Jedi.” The finale isn’t generally regarded with the kind of unanimous, rapturous acclaim as its predecessors, but we make the case for its being worthy of…

The Land Before Time
Released before either of us were born, this movie is still one of our most memorable childhood movies. That being said this movie is seriously intense for an infants film and if Don Bluth had his way it would have been even more horrific in places. 30 mins

Star Wars – The empire strikes back
The second of this wonderful trilogy (trilogy at time of writing because the prequals suck and the new movie isn’t out yet). We return once again to the welcoming busom of Star Wars, this time to talk about the inimitable The Empire Strikes Back – whether you consider there to be six or only three…

The Core
Don’t get me wrong, this movie isn’t very good but from it came one very goodoutcome,The Science and Entertainment Exchange. This is a board designed to foster collaborations between scientists and the entertainment industry and although the core wasn’t solely responsible for it’s creation, it is one the main culprits. Other than that this movie…

Star Wars – A New Hope
Months back, we delved the darkest depths of the prequel trilogy – now we see fit to reward ourselves with another trio of podcasts on the original, good Star Wars trilogy in anticipation of Episode VII, beginning today with A New Hope! Donald rejoins us, muscling through the influence of heavy painkillers to add his…

Monkeybone
In the year and a half that Andrew and I have been running this show I believe that this film is one of the worst things we have ever had to watch. It is boring, offensive, uninteresting and complete garbage. This movie has so much wrong with it that we honestly didn’t even know where…

Ninja – Shadow of a Tear
NINJAS! NINJAS EVERYWHERE! There’s one behind you right now! In all seriousness, fans of highly choreographed martial arts action owe it to themselves to catch this collaboration between director Isaac Florentine and B-movie legend Scott Adkins – we both loved it in spite of – perhaps even partly because of – its paucity of plot.
