Do you want to hear our opinions on The Adam Project, The Batman, Turning Red, and Free Guy? How exceptionally fortunate, that's exactly what this podcast covers. It's very much your lucky day. And such great value! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

For varied reasons both personal and geo-political, we're not able to bring you the fresh podcast meat you've come to expect from us this month, our apologies for that. So, we do what we always do in times of trouble and turn to our spirit animal, Jean Claude Van Damme for inspiration. Here is, I think, his every appearance in our podcast, including a very special look at JCVD taken from this podcast's previous incarnation from all the way back in 2009. Apologies for the somewhat inconsistent audio quality on that one in particular. We were young. Of course, there will be some people who don't want to listen to over three hours of chat about Brussel's finest sprout, and you lot can take the day off, and we hope to have something fresh with you soon.

It has long been said that there is no better time to talk about Gremlins than now, and we are nothing if not slaves to that axiom. So, listen ye now to our various thoughts on Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch, or else we'll tamper with your stairlift.

Against all the odds, humanity has survived another month. Celebrate this remarkable milestone by listening to us talks about The King's Man, Bigbug, and The Worst Person in the World.

Now, we don't know quite why we're doing this either, but today we are talking about Hollow Man 2 and Showgirls 2. If you don't want to hear it we entirely understand. But, c'mon, we both know you're intrigued. Give in to the temptation.

Today we turn our attention to Paul Verhoeven, in particular his most famous, Hollywood era works, namely RoboCop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Showgirls, Starship Troopers, Hollow Man. Are they worth blabbing about? Would you like to know more? Listen in, then.

We start off the new year hoping that it very much doesn't continue in the same vein, as we examine Don't Look Up and The Matrix Resurrections for any redeeming features. Tune in and find out if we identify any!

What better place for drama to accumulate than the formerly smokey dens of iniquity that were casinos? Of course, they're now mostly free of smoke, if not iniquity. We look at two casino adjacent flicks, Croupier and Hard Eight, and see if they roll snake eyes, hit the jackpot, or indeed any other gambling-centric clichés you have to hand.

Our theme for this episode is the con movie, and why not? Join us for a discussion of Il bidone, The Sting, The Spanish Prisoner, Nine Queens, Confidence, and The Brothers Bloom.

While I suppose we should be glad to see the back of 2021, early previews of 2022 don't look all that great. Take your mind off it all by joining us to chat about House of Gucci, Belfast, Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Last Duel, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Last Night in Soho.

We transport ourselves to the far-flung future dystopia of three years ago to take in some Rollerball, and an indeterminate post-apocalyptica for a round of The Blood of Heroes, or The Salute of the Jugger if you'd rather. Are either of these sci-fi sports worth purchasing a season ticket for? Tune in and find out!
