Requiem For A Stream

Another bonus discussion ep, and we judge the Oscar Best Picture nominees despite having seen less than half of them.

Everybody's talking about Uncut Gems, including us! Thankfully we aren't all talking over each other like what they do in this film.

Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler's car isn't the only thing that breaks down in this 2013 indie thriller.

The Cohen Brothers' Oscar Nominated Netflix Exclusive get the R4AS treatment in this episode, as we explore themes of death, humour and singing cowboys. Hear what we made of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs...

It's Andy Warhol meets Final Destination in this colourful thriller, as Jake Gyllenhaal finds himself stalked by a bunch of mysterious works of art, now streaming on Netflix.  From director Dan Gilroy of Nightcrawler fame, do we have a Mona Lisa on our hands or... erm... something worse?

We sat down with Alfonso Cuarón's Oscar nominated Roma - a unique look at Mexico City's Roma district in the early 1970s. It's no surprise Roma has made the Oscars shortlist, but was it as enjoyable as critics claim? Here's what we thought...

Black Mirror is back, and this time it's a choose-your-own adventure, feature length film! Written by Charlie Brooker and directed by David Slade, this video game themed thriller certainly has more than a few talking points.   We discuss the multiple endings, twists and turns, and of course, Frosties and Sugar Puffs...

It's our very first festive edition of the podcast, and we thought we'd go for a holiday classic this episode. Gremlins isn't always first on the list of Christmas favourites, but it sure is one of the most memorable.  We break down Joe Dante's classic and try not to talk about the sequel too much...

In the latest edition of Requiem For A Stream, we discuss our first animated film, Makoto Shinkai's gorgeous body-swap anime, Your Name. Don't forget to drop us a review if you enjoyed our episode, and follow us in all the usual places on social media!

In this spoooooky Halloween special, we convince David to watch a horror film. Turn off the lights, hide behind a pillow and settle in for Stanley Kubrick's classic, The Shining.

This episode, we watch 80s classic The Breakfast Club (currently streaming on UK Netflix) and discuss it with varying levels of enthusiasm...  

Roman Polanski sticks Christoph Waltz, Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet and John C. Reilly in a room together, and carnage ensues. We pick apart this stage adapted oddity, just for you.

Who fancies watching Robert Redford muck around in a boat for an hour and a quarter? Don't worry if not, we've done it for you! Here's our breakdown of All Is Lost, available to stream on Netflix UK.

Welp, it only took us 4 episodes to break the format! Instead of discussing our usual streamable film, we took a trip to the cinema to see Paul Schrader's transcendental movie, First Reformed.  We discuss religion, climate change, spirituality and Pepto Bismol.

We watched Prisoners on Netflix for this episode, in which the disappearance of two young girls leads to grief and trauma for Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. Maybe one day we'll pick a cheerful film to watch...

In this bonus episode, we pick the scraps off the cutting room floor. We have a quick chat about how streaming has changed TV and movies as a medium, looking at LOST and Sherlock among others...

In this edition of Requiem For A Stream, we head over to Amazon Prime to try and make sense of bizarre sci-fi chiller Under The Skin, in which Scarlett Johansson tries to pick up lonely Scottish men in a white van. There's a lot of strange goings on in this film, but possibly the strangest is seeing Scarlett Johansson standing outside the Glaswegian branch of Next...

In the first episode of Requiem For a Stream, the movie club exclusively for films available on streaming services, we discuss Annihilation, Netflix's new offering directed by Alex Garland.
