Show notes
Episode 66: Let's be honest, none of us were looking forward to seeing Valerian... The trailers weren't great, the story hook wasn't there, it had green screen mess written all over it. But every so often comes a film with terrible marketing that blows your movie themed socks off! Is Valerian one of those kinds of films? Listen to our in-depth review of Luc Bennson's sci-fi epic 'Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets' starring Dane Dehane as 'how the shit did he pull Cara Delevingne' and Cara Delevingne as 'the girl who gets harassed by her work colleague'... yeah.

Episode 57: Is there anything that Netflix can’t do? The streaming service has been killing it in 2017, most recently with the success of Okja (check out our review, it’s pretty good). But even with all thus success, can Netflix overcome the videogame to movie/TV curse? Castlevania is based on the long running series first launched in the 80’s. So does it break the curse or is it doomed to the same fate as so many video game adaptations before it? Check out the review to find out!
