The Rock
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
The Michael Bay film it's officially OK to like, The Rock benefits from one of the all-time great action movie pairings in Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery, with a little help from Ed Harris as a morally conflicted veteran soldier.
On this week's podcast, we discuss military masturbation, Elton John-themed death scenes, ludicrous gay stereotypes and much more as we break down this ridiculous but entertaining entry into the Cagemas Canon!

Roland Emmerich‘s 2012
Sunday Sep 19, 2021
Sunday Sep 19, 2021
The trouble with Roland Emmerich films is that they're all essentially the same movie. In this week's podcast we react to 2012, one of his many identikit end-of-world thrillers featuring much CGI destruction and precious little character development.
Tune in to hear our thoughts on John Cusack phoning it in, mid-movie Bentley commercials, the unsung heroism of Gordon the Plastic Surgeon and much more, including drinking games, listener submissions and sequel pitches!

Armageddon 2: Harry‘s Last Stand
Monday May 24, 2021
Monday May 24, 2021
When it comes to 90s Blockbusters, they don't come much bigger - or dumber - than Michael Bay's Armageddon, a bloated disaster epic with a relationship to science and characterisation which could best be described as 'loose'.
In this week's episode, we try to find some good in this much maligned movie, while also pitching some sequels to bring this cash cow back to the big screen - with or without Bruce Willis and his distracting frosted tips...

Spoiler warning - we strongly recommend watching this film blind if you can! Go seek it out, then come back to hear us discussing [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and holy sh*t [REDACTED]!!!
