Kingsman – The Secret Service
This week we look at this James Bond-esque film that decided to have fun and modernise some of the old tropes of the “end of the world” spy film. Our biggest problem was that despite the writers best efforts some of the traditional flaws of a Bond film still come through, particularly regarding women. 44…

Silence of the Lambs
After Bone Tomahawk we do something lighter…oh who am I kidding? It’s Silence of the Lambs!

8mm
Following a run of episodes devoted to films we’ve both rather enjoyed, we thought it was high time we saw a film with no significant redeeming features for us both to get good and grouchy at as a pallette-cleanser. What’s that you say? A sleazy, sordid little crime thriller starring Nic Cage from the director…
