Movie Mull

19/10/2025

This week, we have another pair of reviews from a pair of mulls!

First up, Neil reviews a family-friendly adventure comedy which may have flown slightly under the radar. Starring Elijah Wood as an estranged magician father forced to reunite with his independent young daughter, Mildred, played by Nell Fisher, Bookworm is available now for streaming online.

Then, Darren shares his thoughts about the latest movie from the iconic American director, Spike Lee. This remake and reimagining of an original movie by Akira Kurosawa, Highest 2 Lowest sees director Lee reunited with screen legend Denzel Washington. How does this resituating of the story from Japan to the current day New York music scene measure up? Available now to watch on Apple TV.

Have you managed to catch either of these? If so, let us know what you thought - as well as what you've been watching recently.

Just a mini What We've Been Watching for you this week - perfect for a short commute or run!

First up, Justin will be reviewing the latest Stephen King adaptation for 2025 (3 out of 4 by our counting after The Monkey and The Life of Chuck earlier in the year - and with The Running Man on the way later in November!), The Long Walk from director Francis Lawrence. Then Richard catches up with 2019's chaotic action extravaganza Guns Akimbo starring Daniel Radcliffe and Samara Weaving.

We'll have two more reviews for you next week from the other mulls. In the meantime, we'd love to hear about what you've been watching.

New Episode Alert!! 🚨

This week, the mulls are back with four fresh reviews for you - helping you to decide what to watch next whether at the cinema or at home on streaming or digital download.

First up, Richard tells us all about a little known action comedy thriller starring Charlie Hunnam and Mel Gibson, Last Looks. A film that was released straight to streaming in the UK back in 2022 to relatively little notice, it's now available to rent digitally.

Then, Darren has a review of the latest film in Nicholas Cage's eclectic filmography: The Surfer - a psychological thriller about a man who just wants to surf and the people who won't let him!

Next up, Neil tells about a slasher horror movie that leans towards the comedic, featuring as it does the eponymous (and murderous) Clown in a Cornfield. And to wrap things up, we head from the 'cornfield' to the 'yard', as Justin shares his views on a horror movie that leans more towards the psychological and supernatural - The Woman in the Yard.

After listening, use the comments to let us know what you thought about any of these films - or what you've been watching recently.

It’s Sunday - New Episode Day!!

On this week's episode, Justin has another recasting challenge for the mulls.

This time, the classic film up on the board and waiting for a brand-new cast is the 1991 thriller SILENCE OF THE LAMBS which pitched Clarice Starling against Hannibal Lecter. Back then, this meant Jodie Foster versus Anthony Hopkins – both of whom were nominated for Oscars for their roles.

So, who in 2025 could possible measure up against such towering performances?

Listen in to find out who Justin, Neil, Darren and Richard put forward as their Hannibal, Starling, Crawford, Chilton, Catherine and Buffalo Bill. And then use the comments to let us know who you would cast!

New Episode Alert 🚨

Recorded in front of a live audience last week at Grays Town Park Cafe, this week's episode looks back over the films released in 2025 so far.

As we reach the end of summer blockbuster season, with four months of 2025 left to go, what are our favourite films of the year so far? Which films made us laugh, cry or shudder in fear?! Which are the films that surprised us and which were sadly disappointing?

Listen in and then get in touch. We'd love to hear more about the films we've missed that we need to catch up with before the end of the year.
