Episode 139: Austin Powers, the Spy who shagged me
We continue our comedy run with this 1999 Spy movie spoof comedy, the second instalment of the Austin Power series. Glenn realised after selection he preferred the other one. Hope it’s good!!
Episode 138: Rat Race
This week we leap with Breckin Meyer to the 2001 comedy, Rat Race. With a stacked cast and memories of this being funny we were all looking forward to this. But does it hold up? Is it as good as we remembered? Join us and find out
Today marks 50yrs since Jaws, one of the most iconic films of all time, was released.
It set records, it created the summer blockbuster and it scared the bejesus out of generations of being in the ocean.
It’s also a phenomenal film.
It’s one of my favs
Episode 136: Urban Legends - Final Cut
We’ve kicked off season 6 with Glenn picking this 2000 slasher sequel Urban Legends - Final Cut. Teen slashers were back in vogue off the back of Scream, and were being released thick and fast. This is actually a sequel to Urban Legend, which was released in 1998. They certainly varied in quality. So, did this one hold up?? Listen now to our review
Dave chose the Last Kong of Scotland, a 2006 historical drama about Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, featuring leaper Forest Whittaker in his Oscar winning performance.
Once you’ve checked this out, make sure you check out Dave’s artwork on his page. It’s bloody awesome
Recording night, we’re doing another early 2000s comedy. Big cast and plenty of laughs
Should be out in a few weeks

Guest episode: Rogue One-A Star Wars story
Long time listener Pete joined us to review this cracking film in what was a really fun chat. Pete won’t be invited back as he clearly out-performed us, a worrying trend for our guests!
This 2016 action sci-fi is a direct prequel to Star Wars-A New Hope, however did we think it stacked up?? Did it have the same feel and buzz that the original trilogy did? Or did it underwhelm like the next 3 films did?
We got here via Riz Ahmed who was selected by Steph from thePSYCHOCINEMATICcast
Episode 135: Warrior
Scott’s final pick of his 3 and last film of the season. He finished his run with the 2011 sports/drama film starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. Regularly rated amongst the best sports films, the question is, did we all think so??
Episode 133: The Nice Guys
Scott finally gets his chance to pick 3 films, and boy did he pump himself up before selecting his first film, The Nice Guys. A fun buddy cop film with a surprisingly good leading duo. Hope you enjoy
Episode 132: La La Land
Glenn’s last film of his 3 & one film he’s been wanting to get to for a while Mike and Scott have been dreading. A film that neither of them finished last time they attempted to watch. Did they finish it? Was it actually decent? Has Glenn nailed his final pick? All this and more in this episode
Episode 130- Amelie
This week Glenn gets the chance to start his 3 movie run and we’ve dipped our toes into a foreign film, leaping to 2001 French romantic comedy, Amelie
Fair to say the opinions were mixed on this film.
Hope you enjoy
Episode 129 - The Fifth Element
To finish off Mike’s run of 3 we leap with the great Bruce Willis to this 1997 French Sci-Fi film The Fifth Element.
In what might be a controversial episode, we discuss this film and whether it holds up or not.
Enjoy
