Once Upon a Time… In Hoxton Movies there were 2 presenters (as Matt was on holiday) who sought to bring you all the latest movies news and reviews. Niki and Morten chat trailers for Little Women, A Hidden Life and Last Christmas + Morten brings us all up and coming events and screenings from our partner cinema, Genesis. Reviews include Transit, JT Leroy and Tarantino’s latest Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, which also provides our soundtrack of the week for the week. https://twitter.com/hoxtonmovies https://twitter.com/GenesisCinema
*Spoiler warning - the entire film is discussed in the special feature. The Hoxton Movies team bring you "In Defence Of..." - a bonus feature in which we invite a guest to defend a film of their choice with less than 6 on IMDB and/or 60% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Brady Bunch Movie(1995) is rated 5.9 on IMDB and 63% on Rotten Tomatoes as rated by critics so at the top end of the scale but certainly a film that appears on the surface to be a lot less than it might be. Actor, writer and podcaster John Dorney joins us to defend the film and try to convince the Hoxton Movies team of its merits. Check out John on Best Pick Pod: bestpickpod.com

Just My Luck (2006) is rated 5.3 on IMDB and 14% on Rotten Tomatoes by critics and was universally panned on release so deserving of a re-appraisal perhaps. Film writer and critic Ella Kemp joins us to defend the film and try to convince the Hoxton Movies team of its merits.
Hey everyone! Films eh? Films are great! Fab! Spread the love! Hit the bell for the notification squad! Subscribe and rate! Yadda bloody yadda. All that waffle. All that filler. Life is filler. Films are filler. Let's chat filler. Frank Soldato, Adam Grundy, and Blair Treacy talk about the films they saw last week (Crazy Rich Asians, The Predator, Ocean's 8) as well as some recent news on Disney slowing down Star Wars releases, Bond 25's new director, & a terrible Child's Play remake that no one wants. You might have a glimmer of though that you want it, but you don't. And then there's Hot Takes. It's a spicy one. Adam and Frank have mini breakdowns. Blair rises above that. For now. Luke Ibbetson meanwhile was on the Hoxton Movies show discussing his love for Road House. Have a listen to his bit. He's a good lad.

Road House (1989) is rated 6.5 on IMDB but just 38% on Rotten Tomatoes by critics. It maintains a cult classic status but clearly in need of defending.
