We discuss 'Loving' - the civil rights biopic directed by Jeff Nichols about the 1958 interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving who were arrested for marrying 'illegally' - which stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga.

Ep 21: Christine Nov 01, 2016

Show notes

We talk about the incredible new film 'Christine' - based on the true story of Christine Chubbuck - a TV news reporter from Florida who committed suicide live on television in 1974. It's a a tragic story of a woman who was battling depression and anxiety and working in a field that she felt was demanding her to produce sensationalist shock stories rather than news. Starring Rebecca Hall, Michael C. Hall, Tracy Letts, Maria Dizzia and directed by Antonio Campos.

Ep 20: Jack Reacher 2, The Accountant and We Are X Oct 26, 2016

Show notes

Bumper of an episode! We talk new Ben Affleck action flick 'The Accountant' and Tom Cruise vehicle 'Jack Reacher - Never Go Back'. Anthony saw a pretty cool documentary about a Japanese heavy metal band 'We are X' and we talk the HBO Sci-Fi series 'Westworld' and some of our favorite horror films EVER! Plus we were both in foul moods until the show started but just doing the show made us both happy.. so yay! P.S sorry it's late ;)

Ep 19: Man Vs Snake, Godzilla Resurgence & Castle in the Sky Oct 19, 2016

Show notes

Anthony's had too much caffeine, Darren is too controlling and there's a new Godzilla film. We talk about the Netflix documentary 'Man Vs Snake', the new Japanese pop trash 'Godzilla: Resurgence', the anime classic 'Castle in the Sky' plus lots of horror movie favorites. It's the episode where the Wings vs Beatles vs John Lennon argument gets aired in all its filthy glory. Who shall win this battle? You'll just have to listen.

Ep 18: The Girl On The Train, American Honey & Amanda Knox Oct 12, 2016

Show notes

If you liked 'Gone Girl' you'll be interested to hear our take on the similarities and differences between it and 'The Girl On The Train' starring Emily Blunt. The film is a mystery thriller directed by Tate Taylor ('The Help') co-starring Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Bennett Luke Evans and Alison Janney - who, let's face it, makes any film better simply by appearing in it. We also talk about the documentary 'Amanda Knox' - an American woman who spent almost four years in an Italian prison following her conviction of the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. Amanda was ultimately exonerated - but the journey between the horrible event and her eventual release is still full of controversy. Finally we discuss the new Shia LaBeouf indie flick 'American Honey' directed by Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank).

Ep 17: Masterminds, Chicken People & Text drama Oct 04, 2016

Show notes

We saw the Jarred Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) directed comedy 'Masterminds' starring Kristin Wiig, Zack Galifianakis, Jason Sedeikis, Owen Wilson and Kate Mckinnon - plus a documentary called 'Chicken People' (yes really). Perhaps the most entertaining part of the show is when Anthony and Darren read and re-enact the text conversation they had deciding on which movie to see, and where. It's.. dramatic.

Ep 16: The Magnificent Seven, Trump vs Hillary & Operation Avalanche Sep 27, 2016

Show notes

We paid to see 'The Magnificent Seven' starring Denzel Washington, Haley Bennet, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and more! Plus Anthony went to see Garbage in San Francisco, Darren got way too invested in the first Presidential debates and wore inappropriate clothing for a grown man. We also talk indie conspiracy theory film 'Operation Avalanche' and upcoming films we're down to see. For an episode, it's a blast! (Well, it's perfectly ok)
