Bunkazilla Film Roar

Christian R. Allan returns to join Iain as they review Black Widow, the latest (and overdue) chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Coming after we have already said goodbyes to the character, does the film honour the Marvel Avenger or does it seem an afterthought? Also reviewed in this episode is Netflix animated history scrabble America: The Motion Picture and Luca, the latest release from Pixar. Two animated films that promise a lot but might not necessarily hit the targets. For the guest recommendation, Christian talks about The Lighthouse starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Patterson and Iain shares some thoughts on Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Iain is joined by Hugh K. David from Reel History UK to take a look at two action-packed sequels. First up is The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard where Ryan Reynolds is trying to take a break from all that bodyguarding but Salma Hayek and Samuel L. Jackson have other ideas. Then it's all about fast cars, furious people and of course, family, with F9: The Fast Saga. The long-awaited ninth instalment in the Fast and Furious franchise (or 10th if you include Hobbs & Shaw). The latest outing seeing Vin Diesel and his family trying to save the world from rogue superspy extraordinaire John Cena. What did the duo make of these bombastic films? Find out!

Christian pays a flying visit to Iain's home on this episode of Film Roar to shift through the decaying promises of Zack Snyder's Army of The Dead. The big horror blockbuster from Netflix seemingly offers a wonderful zombie-filled trip to Vegas but was the bright lights and gory sights worth spending two and half hours on? Find out on the show. Iain also offers his initial thoughts on Disney's latest produce of animation to live-action with Cruella. A big-budget prequel charting the rise of iconic Disney villain, Cruella de Vil. We've been here before with lots of promising adaptations from Disney and they've been nothing but crushing disappointments and wastes of time. Will the fashionable villainess change the tide? For his movie recommendation, Christian steps into the family MMA combat drama Warrior and finds himself locking up with Tom Hardy. And if that's not enough, he also takes a slight detour into TV territory to talk about how much he enjoyed The Mandalorian....a few years after the show started.

Iain takes a visit to Christian R. Allan's humble abode to discuss their thoughts on Nomadland. This year's Best Picture Oscar winner has a lot going for it, an excellent performance from Frances McDormand, beautiful visuals and a moving score but will it linger on for our reviewers after watching it? Iain and Christian unpack their constructive thoughts on the intimate drama. Christian dives into the amazing work of the late Satoshi Kon as he picks Millenium Actress as his film recommendation for the episode from the animator's exceptional body of work. The 2001 animated feature charts a film documentarian's attempt to retell the extraordinary life of a reclusive actress in her twilight years. Christian shares his reasons why listeners should check it out. Not just content to talk about Millenium Actress, Iain and Christian also reflect on Kon's work on Perfect Blue and Paprika as well.

This episode contains moderate to heavy spoilers for Mortal Kombat. We recommend watching the film first before listening to this episode. Shenny returns to Film Roar to talk about the film reboot of Mortal Kombat. With a renewed boost of popularity as a premier fighting game, Mortal Kombat makes a third attempt to capture the bloody martial arts with a cinematic lens. Does it finally deliver a flawless victory to the franchise fans and new audiences or will it take yet another fatality? Iain and Shenny discuss and dissect the new film. Following on from the review of The Mitchells vs The Machines in our last episode, Shenny uses his movie recommendation of the episode to shares his own thoughts on viewing the popular Netflix movie and also talk about a very "interesting" YouTube video discussion of Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Allan returns as a guest reviewer in this episode of Film Roar. With the animated pedigree of Gravity Falls and the producing team of Lord & Miller (The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse) involved, the ingredients are there for an animated masterpiece. Will it earn the prestigious five stars? Before that, The Oscars are over and done with for another year but did anyone genuinely care or show interest in the films nominated in this lingering pandemic environment? Iain and Christian cast their gaze over the winners and notable moments. And in the newly introduced Guest Recommends portion of the show, Christian puts forward the dark Japanese horror Audition as something film fans should check out. Of course, if they could possibly stomach the horror that's in store.

Spoiler Warning for Godzilla vs Kong! We're taking on the mega monster match up of the cinematic year as Iain and guest reviewer Shenny (aka Michael Hirst) review Godzilla vs Kong. Is the monsterverse smash up the film we've all been waiting for? Our reviewers share their thoughts though maybe get too into the "science" of the film. But before we see two giant titans have a big screen tiff, our reviewers also share their thoughts on the first trailer of Space Jam: A New Legacy and the long-awaited sequel may have made a bad first impression. And if you're looking for a movie recommendation, Shenny talks about why you should give Dragon Ball Super: Broly a watch!

Fans have demanded it, Warner Brothers and Zack Snyder have finally made it a reality. But can the fabled Snyder Cut of Justice League repair the damage of the 2017 theatrical release? Iain Boulton is joined by Bunkazilla contributors Lizzie Barnes, Andrew Watton-Davies and Michael Hirst to find out if the world of superhero movies is about to change forever in this bumper special episode of Film Roar.

Our second trip to Apple TV+ sees the show review war thriller, Greyhound. A recent Tom Hanks film with the American actor playing a new captain in charge of a naval warship tasked with protecting ships in the Atlantic ocean. Is this a companion to Saving Private Ryan or does it sink into the sea of oversaturated war films? Iain and Christian find out.

We head to the world of Apple TV for our latest film review with Sofia Coppola's On The Rocks. The on-screen father and daughter team of Bill Murray and Rashida Jones become amateur sleuths in this indie comedy-drama. Does it capture the brilliance of Lost in Translation? Iain and Christian share their thoughts.

Not even SpongeBob SquarePants has been spared by COVID-19 as his third film, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge On The Run, has headed straight to Netflix in the UK - with a US release still to be announced. SpongeBob has been a jewel in Nickelodeon's crown for over 20 years, does Sponge On The Run demonstrates the lovable cartoon's continued popularity or is it a franchise starting to run out of ideas? Iain and Christian review the film and share their thoughts.

It may a bit past the 5th of November but it's still a good time to revisit the film adaptation of graphic novel V for Vendetta. Starring Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman and John Hurt, the film recently was re-released on 4K UHD. Surprisingly, the film feels more relevant today than it did when the film first came out in 2005. How well does the film stack up in 2020? Find out in this episode of Film Roar!

In this episode of Film Roar, Iain Boulton and Christian R. Allan take a look at the surprise return of Borat with Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm. Borat is back and once again trying to make everlasting bonds of friendship in the United States. This time, he's tasked with delivering a gift to America's Vice-President. With only his forgotten daughter by his side, can Borat redeem himself for his glorious nation of Kazakhstan? It's been 14 years since Borat first appeared cinematically to audiences, is Sacha Baron Cohen's infamous brand of cringe comedy relevant now?

In this episode of Film Roar, Iain Boulton and Christian R. Allan take a look at Aaron Sorkin's latest movie, The Trial of The Chicago 7, which has recently debuted on Netflix. The film tells the true story behind one of America's infamous court cases where a group of protestors find themselves charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more, arising from the countercultural protests in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. With a talented ensemble featuring Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Rylance, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and more, does Sorkin deliver a courtroom drama for the ages? Film Roar delivers its verdict.

Using dark magic (or the power of Disney+), Iain and Christian peer into the Disney Halloween cauldron to revisit the 1993 cult family classic Hocus Pocus. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are three wicked witches who find themselves resurrected in the present for one night only so they can complete a deadly spell that could mean doom for children everywhere. A favourite among many Disney fans, many of whom still wish for a sequel years after the original's release, how does Hocus Pocus stack up in today's family film environment?

After a brief reflection on what to expect moving forward from Film Roar, an anime classic is the focus of this episode. Iain and Christian venture to IMAX to watch a brand new 4K print of Akira - the grand daddy of cyberpunk anime. The 1988 Japanese animation that made a sizable impact in cinema. How does the film look and fare after 30 years? Film Roar takes a look.

This episode was recorded on Sunday 20th September 2020. It's time to face the music with Bill and Ted as our cinematic hosts, in honour of Bill and Ted Face The Music's release, look at the full time travelling trilogy as a whole in the main film review of this Film Roar episode. Does the third trip through time a worthy addition to the film series and vice versa, does 1989's Excellent Adventure and 1991's Bogus Journey hold up as well? There's a good dash of Our Cinematic Week once more. Christian takes in a few oddball surreal tales with Adam Sandler and Johnny Depp. Iain meanwhile ventures out into the wild west with a collection of Westerns. If that isn't enough, Christian tells the story of John Wayne's Genghis Khan biopic as well - it has to be heard to be believed.

With Premier Access, Disney+ subscribers can watch the latest Disney live-action "re-imaging" with Mulan. Originally slated for a cinema release before COVID-19 and now being used to test the waters of streaming from Disney, does this finally break the curse of soulless remakes? Our hosts discuss this and also some of the potentially more problematic elements of the film's release. There's also a dash of Our Cinematic Week where Christian revisits classic Ardman animations featuring Wallace and Gromit while Iain takes a look at a potentially forgotten Batman animated movie with Mystery of the Batwoman. And for you video game fans, there's even a slight chat about Nintendo's Mario celebration plans and the Uncharted series. Cross medium podcasting at it's finest!

Following their initial reaction podcast, Iain and Christian give a final verdict to Christopher Nolan's Tenet. Is the time travelling action flick a masterpiece or is it the first Nolan letdown? The main news story focuses on the tragic passing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman. Our hosts reflect on some of the iconic roles Boseman has had the opportunity to play. The main review of the episode focuses on the final X-Men film from Fox, The New Mutants. Repeatedly delayed for almost 2 years after production was completed, was it worth the wait? Find out in brand new Film Roar!

It is finally time for Tenet! Christopher Nolan's eagerly awaited big-screen blockbuster arrives - after a short delay thanks to COVID-19 - to UK cinemas. This short episode shares Iain and Christian's initial thoughts on Tenent roughly 30 minutes after they left their IMAX screening. A full detailed review of the film will be coming in the next episode. Don't worry, this podcast chat is spoiler-free.

This episode audio was recorded live on Wednesday 12th August 2020. Our cinematic duo have begun the Twitch era of Film Roar and it's another packed show. As usual, the episode kicks off with Our Cinematic Week where we examine what movies Iain and Christian have digested in their spare time. In the realm of news this episode, Tron 3 is shifting into high gear with a director and star already attached. Also, Disney may have given up on 4K Blu-Ray discs. To celebrate Alfred Hitchcock's 121st birthday, Film Roar reviews the iconic cinema horror Psycho. A landmark title in Hitchcock's resume, how does the film fare 60 years after release. The main film review of the episode is An American Pickle. Now on HBO Max in the US and in cinemas in the UK, Seth Rogen plays an Orthodox Jewish factory worker, preserved by pickle brine for 100 years, who awakens in 2019 and meets his great-grandson (also Seth Rogen). Is it an enjoyable summer comedy? Our hosts discuss.

After a brief break, our cinematic duo are back once more to venture into the world of films. First up, as always, it's Our Cinematic Week where we catch up with all the film watching Iain and Christian have racked up. Christian sheds light on his current movies of the world challenge, which for this episode, focusing on America. Iain tries to heal his Scoob! wounds by watching Scooby Doo & Batman: The Brave & The Bold. He also throws in another Hitchcock film, Batman: Mask of The Phantasm and The Rock. The main review of the episode focuses on the recent release of The Invisible Man directed by Leigh Whannell and starring Elisabeth Moss. A worthy update or another failed attempt to make thin air scary? Then we're on the road as Iain and Christian head to a cinema to watch 1978's Superman: The Movie. Is it still the stander bearer for all things Superman? Importantly, how was the movie going experience with new health and safety measures in place?

This episode is all about animated mysteries, immortal soldiers, french feather dusters and Christian's unhealthy obsession with 2001's Cats and Dogs. Following our regular cinematic check-in on our hosts, our hosts discuss Halloween Kills, the latest film to be delayed by COVID-19. Is it fair to write off any attempt for big tent-pole releases to hit cinemas in these unprecedented times? Also, Parasite is returning in a black and white format and heading to the cinema and online streaming. Our hosts discuss these developments and then it's on to the reviews. Before we head to our main review, Iain and Christian try to unravel the frustrating mystery of Scoob! Scooby-Doo has another big-screen outing - though digitally released thank to COVID-19 - but something isn't right here. It's doubly frustrating when one of our hosts is a fond fan of The Mystery Machine. The main review for this episode is Netflix's The Old Guard. A comic book adaptation featuring Charlize Theron leading a group of immortal soldiers for hire. But what happens when their secret of immortality is discovered? Why, a barrage of action hijinks and surprisingly interesting characters.

It's a quiet week for new releases online so Iain and Christian, our cinematic duo, decide to venture into the criminal underworld of Guy Ritchie for a double feature review of 2008's RocknRolla and 2020's The Gentlemen. Both films were released at different periods of Ritchie's film career. RocknRolla attempted to steady a filmmaker who had suffered a financial and critical failure with Revolver while The Gentlemen comes after a successful string of moderately successful Hollywood movies. Which film more aptly highlights Ritchie's strengths as a filmmaker? Our hosts discuss.

We're hoping to get those fabled 12 points in this episode of Film Roar. It must have something to do with the main review of the episode where Iain and Christian watch Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. A brand new comedy set in the competitive world of the Eurovision Song Contest featuring Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams and Dan Stevens. Bringing its own line up of amazingly catchy and genuinely stunning music, is this the comedy of 2020? There's also a look back at one of Steven Spielberg's recent films as we revisit Bridge of Spies. The 2015 cold war drama featured Tom Hanks as the good-hearted lawyer trying to negotiate a prison transfer for a suspected Russian spy played by an Oscar-winning Mark Rylance. While the film is solid entertainment, is Spielberg a name that generates excitement with movies? Our hosts discuss the filmmakers past, recent and his upcoming remake of West Side Story. Throw in a dash of catching up with our hosts' recent solo viewings and the continuing saga of whether or not Tenent is arriving on time in cinemas and that is your latest stomp through the world of Film Roar.

Iain and Christian reunite in the garden for another dose of cinema chat, discussion and reviews. In the news portion, they talk about the proposed re-opening of cinemas as several chains mark the start of July as the time to return. They've even been supported with a list of 450 films cinemas can show when they open their doors once more. For the reviews, it's a double dose of British cinema. First, animation from Aardman with the sequel to Shaun The Sheep - Farmageddon. Have they recaptured the claymation magic once more? Then it's the turn of Armando Iannucci with The Personal History of David Copperfield. It's a quirky and radical take on the classic Dickens novel but are the hosts looking for something more?

Recording over the internet once more, the cinematic duo of Iain and Christian take a quick gander at the ever shifting release schedules in the news portion of the show. The main review this episode sees the Disney+ release of Artemis Fowl. A long, gestating production that finally crosses the finish line. With Sir Kenneth Branagh directing, featuring Josh Gad, Judi Dench and Colin Farrell in the reliable supporting roles, you'd be easily forgiven for thinking this was going to be an excellent franchise starter film. Oh how wrong we were.....

Warning: There are spoilers for both main film reviews in this episode. We recommend you watch the films first before hitting play! With UK lockdown restrictions easing, Iain and Christian finally see one another after several months to record an episode together - with sensible social distancing in place. Before our film reviews, the duo talk about some of the films they've watched, touch on viewing formats and even student films. Then it's on to the movie reviews - both of which come from Netflix. Netflix's latest crime caper, The Last Days of American Crime is first. Set in a futuristic dystopia, America is set to wipe out all crime with the power of brain signals. Some criminals though want to have one last heist before hand. It sounded promising - then they watched it. The second review of the episode takes into the work of animator Don Bluth with An American Tail. Charting the immigration journey of The Mousekewitz family, this was a rare box office success for a non-Disney animated film. But has it aged well?

Following our usual bout of roaming movie and pop culture banter, our cinematic duo of Iain Boulton and Christian R. Allan dive into the new Screen Anime platform to watch the fire fighting blockbuster Promare. With the animated talents behind Kill la Kill and Gurren Laagan involved - this surely must be an instant cinematic win?

Iain and Christian take another digital dive into the world of movies but first, they have some news to discuss! The mythical Synder Cut of Justice League will actually somehow exist in 2021 for HBO Max. Is this going to be something jawdropping or something worth skipping? Christopher Nolan also revealed a new trailer for Tenet. We still don't know what it means. After news, the first film up in the review block is The Lovebirds. A brand new comedy which found a home on Netflix after Covid-19 derailed its cinema release in April. Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani are a couple who face a defining moment in their relationship - only to get embroiled in a murder. Then we head back to school with one of Schwarzenegger's action comedies - Kindergarten Cop. He's a hard as nails cop who finds himself posing as a teacher to crack a big case. Can he cope with pressure? More importantly, can he survive the kids!?

Two films that were still screening at the cinema when COVID-19 hit movies hard are the focus of this episode. First up is Onward, the latest film from Pixar. An animated fantasy tale of two brothers trying to bring back their deceased dad for one more day. Is it a refreshing change of pace from Pixar sequels or have Pixar lost the charm with original ideas? Then we hop over to Amazon Prime to watch My Spy. The family espionage comedy sees Dave Bautista's no nonsense CIA agent attempt to do surveillance. However, he ends up befriending his target's daughter and family laughs and hijinks come along. Will this be Dave's Mr. Nanny?

We watch something new from Netflix and return to top tier Jim Carrey in this episode of Film Roar. First up, we logon to Netflix to watch high school coming of age comedy drama The Half of It. Written and directed by Alice Wu, the film tells of a shy, introverted student helping a school jock woo a girl whom, secretly, they both want. Then we dive into one of the pivotal movies in Jim Carrey's rise to Hollywood stardom with The Mask. The mad and over the top comic book movie also marked the film debut of Cameron Diaz. Is it still classic Carrey or has the film's zany sparkle faded after 25 years.

We're travelling to 1980s and 1990s for this episode of Film Roar. But before we do that, a brief news segment sees our cinematic hosts discuss the Universal and AMC, Odeon & Cineworld conflict. Plus something that might make film releases in China possibly difficult in future. Then it's on the reviews! First up, the Looney Tunes fight for their freedom with basketball in 1995's Space Jam. Featuring sports legend Michael Jordan, both Iain and Christian saw this film when they were young. Does it hold up after nearly 25 years? Then our hosts revisit 1984 for the unique combination of David Bowie and Jim Henson with fantasy film, Labyrinth. What works more for the film? David Bowie's music or the technical wizardly of Henson's puppets. Find out in the Film Roar.

Two shiny brand new films from Netflix are our main attraction reviews in this episode. First is the Chris Hemsworth actioner Extraction which boasts some pretty intense set pieces. An action masterpiece or easy distraction? We get animated with our second review, The Willoughbys. The family film about a group of siblings who try to orphan themselves away from their terrible parents. Is it a unique family film or does it fall into the usual pitfalls of trendy family films?

In this episode, Iain and Christian take a look at two Oscar winning films available to stream now. On Netflix is the classic 1995 family film Babe. The story of a small piglet who becomes a sheepdog. The film would win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Does the film stand up today? After that comes Free Solo, the Oscar winning documentary about one free climbers journey to free climb the dangerous El Captain vertical rock formation. Definitely not for those who hate heights!

A double dose of 2020 film releases are the focus of this episode of Film Roar. WWE and Netflix tag team it up for family flick The Main Event. A young boy discovers a magical mask and gains super wrestling powers. Can he make it in WWE? Vin Diesel tries his hand at his own comic book franchise in Bloodshot. Diesel plays a deceased soldier who is brought back from the dead with the scientific power of Guy Pearce. Is it worth being excited about? Listen and find out.

Continuing their digital strand of film reviewing, Iain and Christian look at two recent releases from the streaming world. First up is Christian's pick and it's from Netflix. The film of choice is Ed Helm's comedy Coffee & Kareem. A buddy cop action comedy where A twelve-year-old kid hires a criminal to scare his mom's new police officer boyfriend but it backfires when a ruthless drug kingpin gets involved. Iain takes the podcast to the skies with his choice from Amazon Prime, historical adventure The Aeronauts where Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones attempt to soar the highest heights in the 1860s.

The first episode of Film Roar focusing on films available on digital streaming platforms takes a look at two titles available on Netflix. Iain's choice for the episode is Japanese animation The Castle of Cagliostro; the 1979 feature film debut of anime maestro Hayao Miyazaki. It's a great introduction to the world of Lupin The Third, a franchise that started decades ago in the late 1960s. Keeping with the 1960s, Christian's choice for the episode is Apollo 11. The recent 2019 documentary comprising entirely of stunningly restored archive footage of the Apollo 11 mission. Is it the definitive presentation of man's first steps on the moon? Our hosts discuss. At time of recording and release, both movies are available to stream on Netflix.

In this brief episode of Film Roar, Iain and Christian go over and discuss the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has caused within the film industry. They discuss studio plans to release cinema releases straight to digital platforms, what happens moving forward with Film Roar and more.

The featured presentation film review in this episode sees Iain and Christian review The Call of The Wild starring Harrison Ford and one obviously CGI dog. Suffice to say, despite good intentions, this might be a call not worth following. In coming attractions, our hosts discuss the reality of Spielberg opting not to direct the next Indiana Jones. Plus picking up all the extra film viewings, the episode talks about the Oscar winning Parasite, intense French social drama La Haine, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and a handful of James Bond movies.

We're going super sonic fast as Iain and Christian review the long awaited film adaptation of Sonic The Hedgehog in this episode's main review. Before that, there's a quick chat about the latest Bond theme, No Time to Die, from Billie Eilish in the news section. Plus after we finish racing with Sonic, the dynamic duo share the unwanted stressed caused by Uncut Gems.

Join Iain Boulton and Christian R. Allan for Bunkazilla's new film review show entitled Film Roar! In the first episode, Iain and Christian discuss briefly the passing of Monty Python member Terry Jones before turning their attention to the main review. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return for Bad Boys 4 Life. It's been nearly 20 years since their last outing so should we be worried about a possible soulless cash grab? The cinematic duo discuss.
