They look at the biggest earners this year on the Fantasy Film League and show that the most expensive is not necessarily the way to go. Mr Birch turbos through reviews of Dune, Bond and Venom relatively spoiler free and the boy talk all things Eternal. And they try to get things done quickly but still deliver an hour long episode!! We blame Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love... This week's intro music is Supremacy by Muse (The true Bond Theme), the stings are from the ever excellent Two Steps to Hell and the outro music is by Hidden Citizens. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fantasyfilmleague/message

    After an extra weeks break, Mr Smirh and Mr Birch are back to normal. By normal we mean Keanu impressions, an unhealthy obsession with Henry Cavill, stats and data and covering what's coming to the screen in the near future in the US and the reopened UK box office. After a spectacular failure of professionalism half way through (we had to edit FOUR MINUTES out of this podcast for laughing and swearing) we cover off our Bad Film Club viewing of Ghost Rider and discuss great films that should be bad and bad films that missed greatness. Mr Birch has made some upgrades but the music is by the ever present and awesome Two Steps From Hell and now the new Outro music by Hidden Citizens. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fantasyfilmleague/message
