Shoot The Hostage

This season we’re covering movies about dreams and has we had 2 movies on the bounce that had the word dream in the title, this week Dan’s choice is a little more tenuous. To divulge any other information on that would be to veer into spoiler territory, and we wouldn’t want that. This are our thoughts on The Thirteenth Floor. We talk a little about the source material and how

Welcome back to another episode in our season about films and dreams. Sometimes those two things have been loosely connected this season but there is no ambiguity this time. Today we’re discussing our 2nd David Patrick Kelly movie, Dreamscape from the glorious year of 1984. The year that bought us so many of our favourite films. Is Dreamscape one of them?! We discuss the producti

We’re back with another episode in our season of films about dreams. This week we’re turning once again to Nicolas Cage in the Kristoffer Borgli film, Dream Scenario. The last time we spoke about Cage was for our Con Air episode and his turn as Paul Matthews in Dream Scenario couldn’t be more different than Cameron Poe. Not a furry bunny in sight in Dream Scenario. We talk ab

For the third episode in our line-up of movies about dreaming, we take it back to the 1990’s with the Alex Proyas written and directed Dark City (1998). Did we mean to cover two William Hurt movies in a row? Is Lost in Space next? How did he get that Accordion? What did we think of the performances? Does the Neo-noir element of Dark City still hold up? Did Richard O’Brien let A

Sticking with our season of films about dreams, we turn our head to Ken Russell for the 1980 Sci-Fi/Horror Altered States. What do we think the visual elements of this film mean? Did John C. Lilly talk to Dolphins? Why did Paddy Chayefsky and Ken Russell fall out? How did a pair of Betty Boop socks convince the cast to be in the film? Why is this in a season of films about dreams?

Come True (2020) is a Horror/Sci-Fi written and directed by Anthony Scott Burns and is the first movie in Dan’s season of movies about dreams. Find out what we think it means, hear us gush about the sound and question if slippers are hard wearing enough for miles of walking on tarmac. Actually we don’t discuss footwear at all, that’s just one of the notes we didn’t talk abo

It’s that time again. Yes, it’s just 1 week before we begin our brand new season so it must be time for a bonus show. This time we thought we would release our Twisters show on the main feed which we dropped over on our Patreon last week. We go a little spoilery on this one although some would argue that there really isn’t that much to spoil. Find out what we thought of Twist

On August 5th we begin our brand new season with a theme chosen by Dan. This time he’s gone for dreams. There are a number of ways to interpret the theme and we have an eclectic mix of movies to talk about over the 8 weeks. We begin with Come True (2020) which drops 5th August. Would you like to see the full lineup for season 7? The only place we announce our schedule is over on

Our Barbarian show marked the end of Sarah’s season of trapped films. But fear not, we still have our wrap show which is available in full over on our Patreon. We’ll be back on August 5th with a brand new theme. Look out for the season 7 trailer coming next week and at the same time, we’ll drop our season lineup for free members on our Patreon page. So make sure you sign up f

This week we’re covering our most recent movie yet. We sit down to talk about Zach Cregger’s Barbarian (2020). We talk about the Writer/Director’s inspiration for Barbarian, the unusual changes in tone and how it all fits together. Sadly, this is the last episode of the season but we’ll be back on the main feed with a brand new season on August 5th. If you can’t wait unti
