My Mum Has Seen a Movie

This is it: the last episode of My Mum Has Seen a Movie. After reviewing 690 movies over six years of podcasting, we're hanging up our mics. But we go out with a bang by passing judgement on the fifth and final Indiana Jones movie ("It's going to pay for his funeral"), Wes Anderson's Asteroid City ("I liked the colours"), and the latest Mission Impossible ("The action is superb and Tom Cruise doesn't look as old as he is"). Thanks for listening, everyone.

This week mum and Rob are in Japan for a long-awaited holiday. While there they see two new Japanese films: tame horror Immersion (忌怪島), and gripping period drama Mountain Woman (山女). Mum has also seen Netflix actioner Extraction 2.

This week mum has seen Transformers: Rise of the Beasts ("I think Liam Neeson plays the big red truck, but they've put his voice through a boom box"). She has also prepared for her imminent Japanese holiday by seeing Japanese euthanasia drama Plan 75 ("Once you've done it, you've done it"), and documentary Tokyo Stories ("It bombards you with all the stuff that's over there").

This week mum has seen the live action remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey ("Javier Bardem plays Trident: the feller with the magic fork"). She also reviews Chevalier, a flick about a French fiddler from olden times ("Mozart's in it and he's a little smirky gobshite").

This week Rob returns to the UK and he and mum see boxing biopic Big George Foreman ("As a kid he was a little tinker. Well, a gobshite"). Mum also reviews Finnish stab-fest Sisu ("Sisu rams a knife through a Nazi's temple - it was wonderful").
