We're back! A little later than planned, but here we are... Producer Ben's all time favourite, the original 1984 Dune. It's weird. It's ridiculous. And we love it! We're also talking about changes to the schedule, so be sure to listen in and find out what the future holds.

Viewing and a chat about one of Jables' favourite comedy horrors. Groovy! On our summer holidays after this, see you again in August!

A divided trio heads into the zombie dystopia: one excited, one indifferent, and one actively uninterested. Can it win us over? We're also finishing up on Department Q and looking forward to next week's Retro Reels.

Streaming this week, so we get to catch up on what we missed at the cinema recently - in this case, a blues and folk vampire adventure. We're also talking about Department Q on Netflix and 10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki.

A slow and wordy follow up to 2023's Dead Reckoning, the (alleged) final instalment of the franchise leaves us bored and disappointed. At least Jables loves series 2 of Andor enough to go on and on (and on) about it.

A little late to the party but we're hanging out with the Thunderbolts* this week, which is...err...fine. Our Kid also catches us up on her recent Regency Revival, whilst Jables starts in on series 2 of Andor.

It may be third time we've talked about Hellraiser, but there are still plenty of fresh thoughts to note as we catch it on the big screen for the first time.

It's Purge Week in King's Lynn (also known as the school holidays), so we're staying in to watch something that's been on our watchlist for a while. Also Our Kid is catching up on The Outrun and Producer Ben is taking us back to the 90s with Event Horizon.

A game of Statham Bingo ensues this week to ensure A Working Man hits all the right beats (it does!). We're also talking about Alan Moore's The Show and looking forward to Retro Reels Hellraiser.

A slow burn spy thriller that's not quite as action packed as the trailer suggests, but may be the better for it. Plus Producer Ben finally gets his hands on Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Just No Jables this week as we get a dose of 80s feelgood fantasy.

Despite being a bit too long and a bit too bloated, we quite enjoyed this week's offering. We're also talking about Series 3 of Reacher (so far), British indie-horror Stop Motion and revisiting last year's Civil War.

We're streaming again this week and Jables finally learns how it all got so quiet. We're also taking about the Oscars 2025 and, if you're a Jerry Maguire fan, Our Kid would like to know why.

Can comedy and horror co-exist in a smart indie film that says something about the nature of life and death, or will it always just be schlock? We can't quite agree this week. We've also finally got round to watching Conclave but Jables wishes he'd missed out on You're Cordially Invited.

A likeable cast can't save this messy multi-sequel, but at least Producer Ben was spared. We're also talking about Elevation and Your Monster on Amazon Prime and Jables finally gets round to watching Gladiator 2.
