There’s a fantastic movie in cinemas now. It’s a dark thriller with some counter-intuitively comic elements, telling of a tumultuous period decades-past. It’s called The Death of Stalin. There is also Chappaquiddick. The film’s events, […]

Avatar-lite Netflix release The Titan is one you can miss. Why Sam Worthington, scheduled for not one, not two, not three, but FOUR sequels to the Fern Gully remake would headline yet another languid jaunt […]
Blockers is a strange one. An avowedly dumb movie that’s actually a lot smarter than it will have you believe, packs a frightfully regressive plot unashamed to bandy about it’s woke credentials. If this sounds […]
A masterclass in how to pace drama, Outhouse Theatre’s adaptation of Annie Baker’s ‘The Flick’ is one of the must-see plays of the year. Opening on a cinema flooded with the closing credits of a […]
Where we fight about how much we love dogs and the horrifying sounds of silence – Wednesdays 7:30PM on 2SER 107.3
Isle of dogs, a lot more than this movie. In this latest foray into animation by the Fantastic Mr. Fox Director, a young boy crash-lands on a Japanese island, heaped with the nation’s deserted pups, in […]
Have you ever found yourself mimicking someone in a horror film, holding your breath when they do, or clinging to your seat for dear life? What about trying to be completely silent, when every instinct […]

Breakfast movie reviews on 2SER 107.3 – Love, Simon & The Death of Stalin
Where we fight about the biggest wave of nostalgia to hit cinema screens, that rare sequel that’s leaps beyond the original and whether John Cena is the next big thing in comedy – […]
Sequels are sparingly better than their precursors. Pacific Rim: Uprising had a very low bar, and to the film’s credit it comfortably clears it. Does this make Uprising a great film, or at all memorable? […]
For interviews with Nick Robinson & Katherine Langford see here Simon is in high school. He’s your regular run-of-the-mill guy with better than average looks, the perfect family and friends with supporting roles in Marvel […]
Nostalgia has never had such a big playground. There’s a question as to whether we need a film that is in so many ways derivative of readily available pop culture stalwarts, but then how many […]

In One Way Mirror ‘experimental theatre’ takes on an entirely different meaning – upending the customary roles of performers in more ways than one. Settling in to the traverse stage seating at the Blood Moon Theatre, […]

Where we fight about what is a lot better in 4K – Annihilation – Wednesdays 7:30PM on 2SER
To baffle someone is one thing – to flummox them is something else entirely. A distinction made by the best of science fiction, it is not made here. The highly-anticipated (maybe) sophomore Directorial feature by […]
Breakfast reviews on 2SER 107.3 – In The Fade & Oscars 2018
Where we fight about who won and who should have taken home gold at Hollywood’s night of nights and feature-length David Fincher parody Game Night with special guest Lisa Malouf from The Limerick […]
No one asked for a David Fincher parody and we really, really should have. Game Night is perhaps most brazen for skewering a film, The Game, that has not superseded pop culture so greatly as […]
Where we fight about that most wonderful of nights and the latest of what will be many, many new takes on the state of US-Russia relations with special guest critic Hamish Wood – […]
