We kick things off with the star-studded drama Anniversary. This thriller (starring Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler) explores what happens when a family falls apart just as a mysterious new movement sweeps the country. It's tense, emotional, and it definitely made us think twice about our next family reunion!Fun Flix Fact: Despite the heavy on-screen drama, the cast spent their breaks having high-stakes board game tournaments on set. Apparently, Kyle Chandler is a formidable Monopoly player and kept the bank on lockdown between takes!Next, we're hitting the road for Crime 101, the gritty heist thriller that everyone's talking about. It's a high-octane game of cat-and-mouse between a brilliant jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) and a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) along the Pacific Coast Highway.Fun Flix Fact: This film marks a massive on-screen reunion for Hemsworth and Ruffalo. To prepare for their rivalry, they avoided each other on set for the first few weeks of filming to keep their on-screen tension as authentic as possible!If you're a fan of a good fright, you'll love our review of Whistle. When a group of teenagers discovers an ancient, cursed whistle, they inadvertently summon an entity that hunts anyone who hears its call. It's "don't make a sound" taken to a terrifying new level.Fun Flix Fact: Director Corin Hardy is a legend when it comes to practical effects. He insisted that the "Creature" be played by a physical performer in a custom suit rather than using CGI, meaning the terrified reactions from the young cast are often very, very real!For this week's Anniversary Corner, we're hacking into the mainframe to celebrate 25 years of the slick, stylish Swordfish. Starring Halle Berry, John Travolta, and Hugh Jackman, it's the ultimate early-2000s tech-thriller.Fun Flix Fact: The film's incredible opening explosion was filmed using a "bullet-time" rig featuring 135 different cameras. At the time, it was one of the most expensive and complex practical stunts ever choreographed for a film!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

We're diving into the claustrophobic and intense world of Wasteman, the debut feature from director Calum Macdiarmid. David Jonsson (who you'll recognise from Alien: Romulus) delivers a stunning, restrained performance as Taylor, a man desperately trying to keep his head down and secure his parole.But when his new cellmate, the volatile Dee (Tom Blyth), drags him into a vicious prison power struggle, Taylor's future is thrown into jeopardy. It's 90 minutes of pure, high-stakes tension that'll leave you breathless.Fun Flix Fact: To keep things authentic, the film was shot at Shepton Mallet Prison in Somerset. It's the oldest operating prison in the UK (dating back to 1610!) before it closed in 2013. The cast and crew reportedly felt the "heavy" atmosphere of the real-life cells during filming, which definitely translates to the screen!To tie into our prison theme, we're looking back 10 years at Ava DuVernay's masterpiece, 13th. This powerhouse documentary explores the history of racial inequality and the "prison-industrial complex" in the United States. A decade later, its message remains as piercing and urgent as ever.Fun Flix Fact: Talk about making history—13th was the first-ever documentary to open the New York Film Festival! It was produced in total secrecy, and the film world only found out it even existed when the festival programme was announced.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

Lock your doors and hide your resumes—we're diving into the absolute best (and bloodiest) cinema has to offer this week. Whether you're here for the jumpscares or the biting social satire, we've got you covered!The "Venus, Oregon" nightmare finally comes to a close. We're reviewing the final chapter of Renny Harlin's ambitious trilogy. Maya (Madelaine Petsch) is back, but things get weirdly intimate this time as she faces off against Scarecrow in what director Renny Harlin calls a "dark romance." Does this conclusion stick the landing, or are we just happy to finally leave that cabin?Fun Flix Fact: This trilogy was a massive undertaking—all three movies were filmed simultaneously over 91 days in Slovakia. Because they shot out of order, Madelaine Petsch had to keep a "trauma diary" just to remember exactly how much her character, Maya, was supposed to be spiraling in any given scene!Sam Raimi is officially back in the director's chair for the R-rated survival thriller Send Help. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, it follows an office manager and her nightmare boss after a plane crash. It's part Cast Away, part Misery, and 100% Raimi chaos.Fun Flix Fact: There is a scene involving a "fake-out castration" that had audiences screaming (and then laughing) in theaters. To get those "geysers of blood" just right, Raimi used his signature practical effects—mechanical bladders that actually drenched the actors. Dylan O'Brien reportedly had to stay perfectly still for four minutes while the "blood" sprayed everywhere!To celebrate 20 years of the film that basically invented the modern home-invasion genre, we're revisiting the French masterpiece Ils. If you think The Strangers is scary, you haven't seen the original inspiration. We discuss how this 74-minute lean, mean thriller still holds the crown for the best "Why are you doing this?" reveal in history.Fun Flix Fact: The actress Olivia Bonamy (who plays Clémentine) suffers from severe claustrophobia in real life. When you see her character panicking while crawling through those narrow, muddy underground tunnels at the end of the film? That's not acting—that's genuine terror!For this week's Hidden Gem, we're talking about the latest masterpiece from the legendary Park Chan-wook (Oldboy). No Other Choice stars Lee Byung-hun as an unemployed paper mill manager who decides that the only way to get a job in this economy is to... well, literally eliminate his competition. It's a pitch-black satire on capitalism that will have you laughing and cringing in equal measure.Fun Flix Fact: Despite the movie being a dark comedy, lead star Lee Byung-hun recently admitted he had no idea he was making a "slapstick" film until the world premiere at the Venice Film Festival! He thought he was playing a serious, tragic character, but when the audience started roaring with laughter at his "clumsy" assassination attempts, he realized he'd accidentally become a comedy star.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

From rabid chimps in Hawaii to AI judges in the near future, we are covering the wild, the weird, and the wonderful in this week's episode.We're going bananas (sorry, had to) over the new horror sensation Primate, directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down). Set in sunny Hawaii, this isn't your average vacation—it's a "slasher" where the killer is a pet chimp named Ben who has contracted a nasty case of rabies. We discuss if this 90-minute monkey-fest is worth your time. Fun Flix Fact: The film stars Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur (CODA). Director Johannes Roberts uses Kotsur's deafness to create an incredibly tense scene where the movie goes completely silent, showing us the horror from his perspective as the rabid chimp stalks around him entirely unheard!Next, we're checking out Mercy, the high-concept sci-fi thriller starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Pratt plays a detective accused of a crime who has exactly 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI judge he actually helped create. It's a race against the clock that will make you look at your Smart Home devices a little differently.Fun Flix Fact: Director Timur Bekmambetov—the visionary behind the "curving bullets" in Wanted—designed the trial to play out in near real-time. The 90-minute ticking clock in the movie almost perfectly matches the film's actual runtime!Since Primate has us obsessed with "Maniac Monkeys," we're traveling back 40 years to the cult classic Link. Starring a young Elisabeth Shue, this British horror features a super-intelligent chimp (who is also a butler!) who turns homicidal when he's threatened with retirement.Fun Flix Fact: "Link" was actually played by an orangutan named Locke! To make him look like a chimpanzee, the trainers had to dye his fur black and fit him with prosthetic ears. It worked so well that most audiences never even realized he was a different species!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

This week, we are witnessing a historic Hollywood reunion as the ultimate bromance returns to the big screen (well, the Netflix screen) for an all-out war on the streets of Miami!We're breaking down Joe Carnahan's gritty, pulse-pounding thriller The Rip. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck reunite as detectives in a specialised narcotics unit who stumble upon a literal fortune in cartel cash. It's a "pressure cooker" movie that tests loyalty, greed, and that famous Damon-Affleck chemistry. Is it the high-stakes heist of the year or does it get lost in the Florida heat? We've got the full breakdown.Fun Flix Fact: The movie is actually based on a wild real-life 2016 raid in Miami! In the real case, officers found $24 million in cash hidden behind a false wall in an attic—all packed inside of orange Home Depot buckets. In the movie, they even used a cash-sniffing beagle named Wilbur to find the stash, just like the real K9 unit did!To celebrate our main men being back in uniform, we're heading to Boston for our Anniversary Corner to discuss Martin Scorsese's masterpiece, The Departed.We look at how Matt Damon's role as the slimy, double-crossing Colin Sullivan in 2006 paved the way for his performance as a morally gray cop in The Rip. It's been 20 years, but the tension of "who is the rat?" still holds up perfectly.Fun Flix Fact: Jack Nicholson (Frank Costello) was so committed to his New York roots that he flat-out refused to wear a Boston Red Sox hat in the movie, despite it being set in Boston. He actually forced the production to let him wear a New York Yankees cap in several scenes instead—just to spite the local fans!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

This week, we're surviving the apocalypse and dominating the table tennis court! Grab your paddle and your hazard suit because we've got a massive double-feature review for you.The Rage Virus is back, and it's bleaker than ever! We review Nia DaCosta's haunting and brutal sequel, The Bone Temple. Picking up right after the events of Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later (2025), this chapter follows Ralph Fiennes as a doctor tending to an ossuary of the lost, while Jack O'Connell gives a terrifying performance as a Teletubbies-obsessed cult leader. Is it the best entry in the franchise since the original? We're breaking down that Duran Duran-fueled soundtrack and that explosive ending!Fun Flix Fact: While Danny Boyle shot sections of the previous film using iPhone 15 Pro cameras for a gritty look, Nia DaCosta shifted to the high-end Arri Alexa 35 for The Bone Temple, giving this sequel a much more cinematic and deliberate visual style.From the Safdie school of high-anxiety cinema comes Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet. We discuss Chalamet's transformative turn as Marty Mauser, a narcissistic 1950s ping pong prodigy. It's a dizzying, fast-paced dive into obsession, "orange balls," and 1950s New York.Fun Flix Fact: Timothée Chalamet didn't just show up to play—he spent months training with professional table tennis players to ensure his "hustler" form looked legitimate on screen! Also, listen closely during the tournament scenes; that's Robert Pattinson providing the uncredited voice of the British umpire!To tie into the virus-ravaged world of The Bone Temple, we're stepping back 10 years to look at Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. We discuss how Alice's final stand against the Umbrella Corporation compares to the grounded survivalism of the 28 Days/Years universe.Fun Flix Fact: The "Red Queen" AI in this film was played by Ever Gabo Anderson, who is the real-life daughter of lead actress Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson. Talk about a family business!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

We've got a massive episode for you this week! From high-stakes heists to high-tide sci-fi, we're covering the big hits hitting your living rooms right now.First up, we're locking in with Dave Bautista in the gritty action-thriller Trap House. This isn't your average "tough guy" flick—Bautista plays a DEA agent caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse where one of the thieves is actually... his own rebellious teenager?! We discuss if this "Sicario meets The Breakfast Club" vibe actually works.Fun Flix Fact: This film reunites Dave Bautista with director Michael Dowse. The duo previously worked together on the 2019 buddy-comedy Stuber! It's safe to say they've traded the Uber for some much heavier artillery this time around.Then, we're heading over to Netflix for the mind-bending Korean sci-fi disaster film, The Great Flood. Starring Kim Da-mi (Itaewon Class) and Park Hae-soo (Squid Game), it starts as a survival story in a sinking apartment building but quickly morphs into a complex sci-fi mystery involving AI and time loops. Did it leave us drowning in confusion or riding the wave?Fun Flix Fact: To prepare for the intense submerged sequences, the cast spent months undergoing professional scuba diving and underwater breath-control training. Most of those "water-log" scenes are the real deal!For this week's Anniversary Corner, we're looking back 25 years (yep, feel old yet?) at the cult classic drug-trafficking biopic Blow, starring Johnny Depp. Since Trap House deals with the fallout of the cartel world, it's the perfect time to revisit the rise and fall of George Jung.Fun Flix Fact: Rachel Griffiths, who plays Johnny Depp's mother in the film, is actually five years younger than he is in real life! Talk about some incredible work from the hair and makeup department.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!  The Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan teamup continues into 2025 with the release of Sinners, a gloriously vibrant, vampiric tale of twin brothers in 1930s Jim Crow era America.

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!  On this week's episode we're talking about revenge seeking unicorns and deep sea diving. Let's get one thing straight, the trailer for Death of a Unicorn, is absolutely bonkers. Father and daughter duo, played by Paul Rudd and Jenny Ortega, accidentally knock over a unicorn (yes, a unicorn!) said unicorn's special healing powers are extracted, and used by a rich family (as you do), and to make matters worse, said unicorn's mum and dad aren't best pleased with their little bundle of joy being carved up for rich white people's pleasure.   What ensues is total carnage. Unicorn style of course. We also discuss Last Breath, an edge of your seat thriller (based on a true story) about a deep sea diving mission in the North Sea that goes horribly wrong. Check out the show for what we thought, and if you've seen the film hit us up on our YouTube channel and let us know your thoughts. On Anniversary Corner we look back at Into The Blue (2005)And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show! 00:00 Intro 02:56 Shoutouts05:06 Movie News16:19 New on Streaming20:56 New Trailers27:30 Anniversary Corner29:25 Last Breath Review41:30 Death of a Unicorn Review48:34 OutroThis episode is proudly sponsored by Zencastr. Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!  On this week's episode we discuss the latest release from hitmakers, A24. This is the studio that brought us Oscar winning Everything, Everywhere All At Once, or horror classic Hereditary. These guys know a thing or two about being off kilter, and dare we say it, edgy? Sometimes the mix is hard to get right but if a film studio can do it, it's them. Opus, their latest offering, starring the wonderful Ayo Edibiri (The Bear) and Hollywood veteran John Malkovich, comes across as a comedy but beneath the veneer lies a dark psychological twist. Does that twist pay off?

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!  On this week's episode we discuss Oscar winning film director Bong Joon Ho's (Parasite) Mickey 17, an adventurous, and at times darn right bonkers sci-fi comedy. Starring Robert Pattinson (The Batman) as the eponymous Mickey, who's brilliant by the way, the film offers a chaotic take on so many themes it's hard to pinpoint what Ho, or the film wants to say. But the filmmakers must be commended on bringing the novel to life in such vigorous fashion. Seen the film?
