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

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…

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 good outcome, 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…

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…

John Dies At The End
Andrew and I are fair fans of zany and mind bending films but this may have been a bit much for both of us. A very peculiar movie with strong influences from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I think with a larger budget and a bit more work on the script this movies would…

Revenge of the Sith
Donald rejoins Daniel and Andrew once more for the epic conclusion to our epic trilogy of reviews of George Lucas’ epic trilogy of prequels to his first epic trilogy of epic epics. Revenge of the Sith is broadly considered to be a step up from the films preceding it, and we all agree with that…

Attack of the Clones
For the first time, we’ve released an episode that gives lie to our show’s name – for once, we have Three Friends Watching! Donald rejoins Andrew and Daniel for round two of our dissection of the Star Wars prequels with Attack of the Clones, which we (mostly) prefer to Phantom Menace, despite stumbling by accident…

Star Wars – Phantom Menace
Unfortunatly Daniel wasn’t available for this one. A terrible film in most aspects with one big Jar-Jar sized problem throughout. 51mis

The Fantastic Four (1994)
A movie that many agree was made purely to hold onto the rights by the studio. This was painful to watch with nearly every aspect of it both disappointing and boring. Still, we had a great laugh reviewing this one. 44mins
