The Phantom Menace

Sunday Sep 22, 2024

Sunday Sep 22, 2024

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... people thought this film would actually be good.It wasn't! George Lucas returned to the beloved science fiction saga that made his name and fortune for a prequel that has since become a byword for awful. We slogged through this absolute chore of a space opera, even though we hated it. And if hate leads to the Dark Side, sign us up, because it HAS to be more fun than this.

American Pie

Sunday Sep 15, 2024

Sunday Sep 15, 2024

The kids are alright! As is this movie. Which is about all that can be said for it, if we're honest. Having developed a reputation at the time for scandalous sexuality, this teen coming-of-age movie is actually pretty banal by almost any metric. Although someone does fuck a pie. So... There's that...?

The Matrix

Sunday Sep 08, 2024

Sunday Sep 08, 2024

The internet's boyfriend Keanu Reeves plays a very confused man hurtled through dimensions sometimes covered in goo - but sadly this isn't 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' it's 1999's iconic 'The Matrix' Ahhh, the goo, explains why they're all wearing wipe clean fabrics.

Fight Club

Sunday Sep 01, 2024

Sunday Sep 01, 2024

Breaking (we think) four of the eight rules of Fight Club here as we discuss David Fincher's much-talked-about precursor to everything that's wrong with the modern manosphere. We're not sure what Fincher shot this movie on, but if we had to guess, we'd say incel-luloid.

American Beauty

Monday Aug 26, 2024

Monday Aug 26, 2024

 The first of our new 1999 series, in which we examine movies from what turned out to be a weirdly pivotal year. In this case, Oscar-bait Boomer whinge "American Beauty," starring relatable, normal, everyman actor Kevin Spacey...

Showgirls

Monday May 27, 2024

Monday May 27, 2024

We got over-stimulated, mistakes were made, and we ended up watching Showgirls. Is Paul Verhoeven's critically mauled stripper movie really as bad as its reputation suggests? Does a bear shit in the woods? And how do you like having nice tits, anyway? At least one of these questions will be answered.

Oppenheimer

Wednesday Mar 20, 2024

Wednesday Mar 20, 2024

 Ban the bum! ...numbing... length... of films like this.
 Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning film tells the story of Robert Downey Jr.'s Lewis Strauss and his campaign to become Secretary of Commerce. Also there's some stuff about the potential annihilation of all life on earth thanks to the invention of the atom bomb, but they honestly don't go into it, much.

Jack Frost

Saturday Dec 23, 2023

Saturday Dec 23, 2023

A year after the horror movie "Jack Frost" came this unintentionally horrific family movie of the same name, in which Michael Keaton plays a man who is brought back as what can only be described as a Snow Wight*. It's a bad idea, but it's also handled ineptly. Merry Christmas!
*If you, like Bea, did not get this joke apparently it's a very highbrow Luke pun about ghosts.
