Film & TV Show

Alex & I take a break for the slating and downbeat and look to invigorate those who are looking to be creative, be original, be different and challenge Hollywood's remake culture at the moment. This was all Alex's idea by the way! Haha! We discuss the most important areas to help you be more creative and original and how that relates to films and tv shows, giving examples of where those who have challenged and been different have shone through and taken us on a journey through new processes. With so much going on, we wanted to inspire others to put themselves out there and create content that can push boundaries and give them the tools to do so. We actively encourage scripts and screenplays to be sent in and we can give feedback etc. We hope this is a nice break from the norm and is informative and helpful, along with our choices of music to help us push ourselves forward in times of "blocks" We genuinely hope you like this one off. Don't forget to leave us a review :)

Alex (after he decides to turn up...) & i look at The Peoples Champion, Dwayne Johnson and his rise from WWF (yeah I said it and what?)to Hollywoods most paid actor in 2017. We look at his early beginnings in acting, his typcasting and his breaking the mold to become one of the most bankable actors on the planet. From 2001's The Mummy Returns to 2018's Skyscraper and beyond, Dwayne Johnson has shed his moniker of "The Rock" and is now a actor, producer and director in his own right. We also talk about some fun facts and I fanboy a little of my man crush! Throw in some very classic musical choices and this is a show for all the Dwayne Johnson fans out there! Can you smell that...?

Alex and I talk about the original trilogy of Star Wars films, whilst dealing with the ridiculous heat this heatwave is throwing at us, with intertwined tangents that are mostly relevant to what we are talking about! We give our verdicts on the original trilogy as well as throw in some fun facts. We rank the films, and the peripheral films thereafter as well, before rolling off the cliff with tangents. Our Twitter followers get a shout out as well for their contributrion to the show, and we discuss each comment made by some of our followers. There is a clear winner for who the favourite is though. Care to guess? We throw in some space themed music as well, to add to the fun. Laughs, fake tears, cringing and threats of violence make this quite the fun episode!

Alex and I delve into the films of Star Trek, from OS (Original Series for those not in the know) through Next Gen (Next Generation) and onto the reboots. We look at how each film has expanded on the corresponding series and how they moved the characters on, or not, and the overall feel of each film. We also discuss our favourite parts and compare how each film holds up in this day and age. We throw in some fun facts and give our very "high horse" opinions on each of the films, disecting plots and storyline arcs and the multiple continuity errors thrown up. Not forgetting our usual random tangents during our discussions. We pick our favourites from each "era" and talk about our reasons why. Not to mention some awesome space themed music!

Alex and I WALTz (get it...) down Disney Main Street once more, looking at Disney films from a slightly different (and often via a ludicrous tangent) way. We talk about Disney's old films continuious ploy to kill off someones family member and use that as a way to push the character forward, we look at the Anti-Heroes and heinious villains in the old and modern day films as well as give Alex 30 seconds to name as many Disney films as possible (he fails miserably btw!) With tangents including shots being fired at Harvey Weinstein, Alex's mission to drag us off topic at every opportunity, shots fired at Nick Grimshaw, Angela Lansbury as a sexy Maleficent and some quirky facts about Disney actors and characters. Add in some excellent, cheery Disney music, and this is not the same Disney podcast as the light and fluffy part 1 from last year. Contains explicit language and insinuations.

Alex and I are joined by the awe inspiring guys behind the worlds ONLY fully inclusive Comic Con, Feel the Force Day, Simon & JJ. We worked with the guys on last years event and did a previous podcast about the charity and convention, so this was like old friends meeting up for a chat. Not only do we cover the awesome plans for expansion of the Con, the amazing work they have done, the reasons why they do what they do and the origin of the whole day, but we also find out that JJ has never seen Fireman Sam, what the guys think about Pontypridd (and their hilarious shenanigans!), Simons revelation about Dr Who and Scott from The McCormicks, JJ's facination with sweet wrappers and kids shows, the awesome guest lineup coming to this years event, curry cupcakes (this is a real thing!) as well as some nice little "nuggets" about the future of the con and the charity. These guys are amazing people and what they do is nothing short of spectacular. Check out JJ's amazing parody of 7 Seconds too! Have a listen and then go buy tickets for the Con. £4 a ticket? BARGAIN!!!

I am delighted to have been able to interview; and chat to, one of my genuine favourite authors, Rob Radcliffe over Skype Rob has written some exceptional books, covering Lad Lit, Fantasy and semi-autobiographical. We discuss the reason we came into contact and the point at which Rob moved forward with his love of writing. We talk about his thought processes when writing a book, his muses and inspirations, as well as what gives him the ideas for his books and how writing sequels/prequels to his books proves harder than the first. Rob is candid and open and a genuinly amazing guy to talk to, giving some amazing insight into the life of a self published author; which we cover, and how he feels about seeing his books on the digital shelf, so to speak. Rob also gives some excellent advice on how to begin writing a book... I really would encourage anyone to download his free books on Amazon, Meat Market (one of my all time favourite books!), Rant! and Checking Out part 1, as well as absolutely downloading the rest once you are done, you really wont be disappointed!

Alex and I discuss our favourite books we would like to be turned into films or even TV shows. We look at possible casting for our favourites, as well as where we think they would sit in terms of the current crop of films and tv shows being spat out at a canter. As per, we go off on random tangents discussing Corrie & Eastenders, Game of Thrones, misendeavours of previous incarnations, animation and food. We also play some very dubious linked music to films that were originally books!

Alex and I discuss the shows we have been binging of late, with some rather interesting ones being thrown into the mix. You would NEVER associate us with these types of programmes! We talk about our favourites, discuss the good and bad points of what we have been binging and talk about why we think people should go watch them. We also talk about the shows were are most looking forward to coming back to our screens either the rest of this year or next! If you are looking for some shows to watch that you didn't know where about, then this is the show for you!

Alex and I discuss some of our favourite TV Shows that made some zerious changes to the detriment of the hard work put in by the show beforehand. we look at how the changes impacted the viewers perspective of the show and how the change altered the feel of the shows. We also look at what the shows could have done better to incorporate the changes.

Alex and I offer up a 2 for on this episode, with our feedback and thoughts on Feel The Force Day and then moving on to the multitalented screenwriter, Max Landis. We start with our thoughts and feedback on the epic "celebration Con" dedicated to those with physical, auditory and visual impairments, Feel The Force Day in Peterborough. We talk through what we did, what we saw and the lasting impact this con has had on us both, and our love for the guys that put it on. We talk about how what this con represents changes you forever when you are immersed in its atmosphere for the day. And it really does... We then move on to the very talented screenwriter, Max Landis, from films Chronicle, American Ultra and Netflix Original Film Bright. We look at his works, his processes and what makes him so different from other screenwriters of today. Max is supremely talented and has the youthful exhuberance that Hollywood is desperately crying out for!

We're back! After a few weeks hiatus (due to personal issues neither of us could control) we come back swinging, talking about all things Guy Fawkes, Halloween and Horror. Alex & I go in hard on those who do not wear Poppies, we talk about the Halloween reboot/sequel/waste of time, as well as go through some awesome horror films. We also go off on a tangent that starts at Halloween takes a trip through Thanksgiving & Black Friday and ends up with Michael Bay! We also give our opinions on some frightfully awesome TV series to get your teeth into as well as delve into just why Horror movies are sluggish and seemingly struggling for audiences, looking at the rise of TV series taking the coverted audiences and keeping people away from the cinema. We finally give our Top 5 Horror films to test your metal against!

Alex & I delve into the films of Mr Explosion, Michael Bay. The man who can single handedly make a reason to just blow something up for the sake of it! We look at some of his most popular films, and discover that some of the most popular in his catalogue were actually rated terribly by Rotton Tomatoes, leading us to go on a tirade about RT! I also lobby for Armageddon being one of his best films, whilst Alex vehemently disagrees. We look at his impact on Hollywood, and how his films are viewed by both critics and the ordinary cinemagoer, looking at why they fare so much stronger with normal people, as opposed to the cretins at The Academy. We also get teary about Stan Lee passing away, minutes before our show went live, as well as a few secrets being revealed by myself, much to Alex's disgust! And not forgetting some amazing songs found in Mr Bay's films.

After the sad news that broke just before last weeks show, Alex and I thought it only fitting to dedicate this show to the man who almost singlehandedly changed peoples views on taboo topics, as well as the cinema world, with his well crafted, humanised characters with superhero traits, Mr Stan Lee. As the world mourns the loss of such a figurehead, we talk about the life of the man, his creations and the impact they have had on many many people in the world, and what his cinematic and comic creations have added to the lives of their fans. Not every superhero has a cape or super powers, some have a pencil, a pad and an idea.

Alex and I take a look at a dying genre of film; the Western. We take a look at the works of 2 of the finest gunslingers to ever grave the screen; John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, and discuss their respective works before moving onto the more modern incarnations of the Western film, looking at how the dynamic of the films genre has changed and how Hollywood has forgotten the essence of the genre. We look at what can be done to revive the genre, who we would like to see in lead roles and the types of films the genre is crying out for in the modern cinema world. We throw in some excellent facts about John Wayne, Eastwood and a few others as well as looking over some of the best films out there to watch back, to really get the feel of a great Western film. Alex and I also argue over a specific film that he feels fits into Western genre, but that I personally feel has absolutely no merit in which to do so!

Alex and I start our festive twosome with a look at how Die Hard is most definitely a Christmas movie. We argue over key points, such as: it is set at Christmas, they say Merry Christmas and the nail on the head, the Ho-Ho-Ho!, I mean, what more do you need! We also look at the most quintessential Christmas movies to watch, such as Santa Clause The Move, The Santa Clause, The Grinch and Elf We comment our thoughts on Home Alone and Home Alone 2, looking at what Kevin's Dad does for a living, how terrible they are as parents and what kind of state Kevin must be in to come up with such heinous ways to hurt 2 fellow humans (we even list all of them!) Add in some awesome Christmas music and this show is a must for all Christmas movie lovers!

Alex & I end the year with our final foray into our favourite Christmas films. We look at how they have impacted us, how they have held up over time, how they all have a very similar feel to them, and how awesome Chevy Chase is when he goes full on bat shit crazy! We have a look at the constant running themes in Christmas films and the messages they portray. We discuss how we view the films now as adults compared to as a child and what impact they had in shaping the way we see them now. We also take a sobering moment to discuss how, at this time of year, social media goes a bit crazy and that can have a negative impact on some who are just about making it by. We emphasise the need for presence, rather than presents, and the impact some of the "excitedness" can have on others. We will be back in the new year, talking about Food in Films. Thank you all so much for your support and interactions. We both wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Be safe. We love you all.

Alex and I are back with a look into Food in Films, going over some of the most delicious films to ever grace the big screen, as well as some of the most obscure TV shows that you should definately binge! From Cult favourite Chef, to Disney magic, Ratatouille and everything else in between (and Good Burger...) we look at how food in films translates to the audience and what are the underlying messages from the films. We discuss the types of cuisines found in the films and what they create in terms of a full frontal attack to those who have a passion for cooking, or those who want to learn due to films (man in food truck...) We also discuss how Masterchef UK is far far far inferior to MasterChef Australia and why the UK version is so flat in comparison. And not forgetting the Meme hub that is Hells Kitchen staring Mr Sweary, Gordon Ramsey. Shout outs to the UK's version of the awesome Adam Richmond (forgetting the fact he is a Spurs fan...) Kate Ovens, as well as some epic news for local Comic Con fans.... For all you foodies out there, this is for you...

Alex and I look at long running TV shows that we have had the pleasure of watching, and Soaps... We delve into the murky, unhappy world of Soaps before dragging ourselves out of the pit and into more light hearted affairs. From Delboy to Dimbleby, Sport to Science, we look at some of the most long service TV shows and Alex gets a little "Higher or Lowerr" quiz on the longest running TV shows in the UK.

Alex & I are back after a 4 week hiatus that was out of our control and we are talking about one of the most popular TV shows ever, FRIENDS. We talk about our favourite characters, who we most associate with and then delve into the darker side of our favourite FRIENDS and look at their personality traits and how that would translate into a "real" person. We discuss how they have cleverly called each episode "The One With" and just generally muse over a TV Show we can both agree is epic and holds the test of time, even if some snowflakes are a bit triggered by it! Strap in and get ready for some Joey lovin'....well not quite but you know what we mean!

Alex & I are joined by Jaz, who is a "Pokemaniac" and they both enlighten me in the arts, and love, of Pokemon, from it's inception right up to now. We discuss the games, anime, movies and merch as well as me testing them both to name as many Pokemon as they can! As someone who has never been into Pokemon, it was eye opening and interesting to learn all about the worldwide phenomenon. I even owned up to playing Pokemon Go when it was the "in thing"!

Alex & I are joined by Jaz once more as we dissect the recent MCU offering, and final one before Avengers:Endgame, Captain Marvel. If you have heard all of the gushing, then this is something a bit different, as we give our honest opinions and question a few choices along the way. We also theorise about Avengers:Endgame based on the trailer and look at what we would like to see happen and how it will all fit together to bring this part of the MCU to a close... Prepare yourselves...

SPOILERS AHEAD Alex & I are back after a hiatus due to station closures and the Bank Holidays, and what better way to start than by discussing and disecting the behemouth that is Avengers Endgame With every spoiler you can think of, we look at the juggernaught of a film and talk about how it made us feel, the big spoilers and little noted gems that sat within the film. We look at how it ended the last 12 years of films and what impact that will have moving forward with the MCU and beyond. Beware, this is SPOILER-RIFIC! So if you havent seen the film, come back and listen to us when you have!

BEWARE...SPOILERS INSIDE! Alex and & delve into the finale, and the final season, of Game of Thrones. We look at our expectations versus what was delivered and go through our thoughts on the pay offs. We look at the character progressions, writing, cinematography and open up the floor to the questions still left hanging over the series. We pull no punches on this on...

I am priviledged to be able to speak to some of the team behind this years amazing Cambridge Comic Con, being held at The Junction; a place right in a buzzing area of Cambridge with excellent links.

Alex & I talk about Tom Hardy, a man who can literally make the female; and some of the male, population moist by just uttering a few words.

"I come here for a fucking shootout. A proper shootout with some proper men. Like Colonel Custer and Geronimo, you ever heard of them? No. Cause you're too busy in your pinny baking fucking fairy cakes, weren't ya?"
