Kung Fu Hustle
Basically it’s 35 minutes of Daniel completely gushing over this really good film. This is hard film to sell in some ways as it’s so surreal and brilliant but also comes off as slap stick and immature when describing it. 35 mins

America’s Sweethearts
In what I believe is Andrew’s last podcast with us for a while, we finish his run with a bit of an odd choice of movie, America’s Sweethearts. A 2001 Rom-Com with a very strong cast but a rather weak story and Romantic plot. I does have Christopher Walken playing a rather eccentric director. 26…

The Lobster
Our first episode of 2017 proper, we’ve decided to tackle another difficult art film – this time, it’s the English language debut of the acclaimed Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, “The Lobster.” A clinically observed, pitch-black comedy on the nature of monogamous relationships, we found it easy to admire but difficult to love. 37 mins

See No Evil, Hear No Evil
RIP Gene Wilder, if we had to pick any film to honour your memory it wouldn’t have been this. This was an odd movie, it had one joke that it told in 50 different ways. Some of those ways were funny, many were not. 24 mins

What we do in the Shadows
We’re back! Due to a scheduling mix up/Andrew’s apparent inability to understand what genre movies are in, we’ve actually ended up doing our second consecutive vampire-based comedy. This time, it’s the New Zealand mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, a shaggy, sketchy sort of film that nevertheless had us rolling in our chairs with…

He Never Died
Henry Rollins is not the worlds greatest actor but when you require someone to be an emotionless vampire who always looks kind of annoyed, he’s your guy. This was a surprisingly funny, enjoyable and well made movie and we would recommend it to most people. 40mins
