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

Episode 128: RED
Leaping with editor Thom Noble, Mike’s second pick takes us to fun 2010 action comedy, RED.
With a stacked cast, some excellent actions sequences and some great comedic work we get a film that’s just a truckload of fun.
Friday Flashback:Episode 25- Sahara
With Mike choosing the 1st of his 3 films this week, we flashback all the way to season 1 to his 1st run of 3, which started with this film also starring Matthew McCounaghy.
A fun but flawed film which we hope you enjoy
Episode 125: Quick Change
This week we leap all the way back to 1990 to this crime/comedy film starring Bill Murray & Geena Davis. Features a great bank robbery, a couple of Oscar winners & a zany Randy Quaid.
Glenn loved this as a kid, does it hold up??
#1990
Friday flashback: Episode 87-Hook
Friday flashback this week is linked by Robin Williams. A lot less dramatic style role from Williams in Hook, but still has the same heart and a lot more zaniness.
Strong cast, fun film easy watch. Enjoy
