It’s Finally here! The long awaited and very much hyped 3rd Thor film has finally graced our screens and the TPSB crew was there front and centre to witness the action… and the laughs! Having just reviewed the first two Thor films, TPSB was excited to see where Taika Waititi would take the franchise and if he could further develop the characters that many Marvel fans have come to love (some more than others...Ben). 'Thor: Ragnarok' stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, an Aussie battler down on his luck, Tom Hiddleston as the leader of the greasers, and Cate Blanchett as Helga the Goddess of Green.

35 years after Ridley Scott’s revolutionary sci-fi noir comes its sequel ‘Blade Runner 2049’ directed by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario). There’s been a lot of good press surrounding the film and the trailers have looked fantastic (thanks to cinematographer Roger Deakins) but does the end product match the timeless original? Listen to our very in-depth podcast to find out what we thought. ‘Blade Runner 2049’ stars Ryan Gosling as Agent K from Men In Black, Harrison Ford as “Wow! Harrison Ford didn’t phone it in this time!” and Jared Leto as Space Jesus.

With the upcoming ‘Blade Runner 2049’ set to be released in theatres soon, the TPSB guys thought they should take a look back at the original that started it all off. One of the truly Iconic Sci-fi films, ‘Blade Runner’ has been praised universally (apart from all those poor year 12 students in Australia that had to study it). The TPSB crew talk the aesthetic, the soundtrack and even that super uncomfortable ‘romance’ scene that has made ‘Blade Runner’ a classic!
