Episode 45 - Round Seven - CREED!!
23/03/2016 Duration: 34minAnd we return with Creed, technically the seventh installment in the Rocky franchise, or arguabley, part one of a brand new franchise. Sylvester reprises his role as Rocky in this recent film, but this time we see a much older, frail version of the character we know and love. We question where the attention for film shoudl lie, whether it be with Rocky or the new character, Creed played brilliantly by Michael B Jordan.

Episode 37 - RoboRemake Gets The Reboot Revitalisation
11/02/2014 Duration: 57minThe film that everyone was ready to hate is now out and has come under the Back To The Podcast microscope. Today we are looking at Robocop. This film has certainly surprised a lot of people. We were ready to kill whoever decided to remake such a loved sci-fi classic from the 80s, but this one has appeared to have come good. I wouldn't classify this a remake, it focuses on different morals and ethics that the first one didn't. This film isn't really an action film, instead a conflict between the two characters of Alex Murphy and Robocop, (both played by Joel Kinnaman). We also wowed by the fantastic selection of supporting actors who include Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel and Zach Grenier. Quite a juicy selection I hope you'll agree. This film was certainly surprising. Enjoy!!!

Episode 34 - Hunger Games Deja Vu
10/12/2013 Duration: 45minThis episode we sit down with the newest edition in the Hunger Games Franchise which is the second film to be released, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the first film but have never read the books so we approach these films with a pair of fresh eyes. The first one seemed to anger some people and thrill others so we look at whether this one has the same effects or not. We were also interested to see if they had made the film friendly for those who don't know the stories. Enjoy!!

Episode 33 - C10H15N
24/11/2013 Duration: 01h05minAfter the long awaited finale (or felina) of Breaking Bad we thought we'd do a podcast dedicated to the 5 seasons of the show. Its safe to say that this is a well loved show and has impressed many people so we thought we would take the time to go through some of our favourite moments and characters from the show as well as exploring why we think the series did so well and had such a phenomenal following. Enjoy!!

Episode 32 - Escape THX Plan
04/11/2013 Duration: 51minTodays podcast has been potentially brewing for the last 30 years. We have always wanted to see an action filmed lead by the two greatest action stars and today our prayers have been answered. We bring you, Escape Plan. With a surprising all star cast, obviously the most anticipated were the two lead stars, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This film was an action film with a twist. It wasn't all guns blazin', it had body, heart, dialogue, and an interesting concept with much inspiration taken from George Lucas' early work THX1138 from 1971. This is definately a lower budget film that has become hidden behind a lot of the bigger blockbusters but this one is definitely a must for anyone who is a fanatic about cinema like us. Enjoy!!
