'Michael', 'Mother Mary' + 'Exit 8'

'The Mandalorian and Grogu' + 'Finding Emily'

After a tiny little break, I'm back in the saddle with a review of 'The Mandalorian and Grogu', the latest slop from the guy who made a movie about making slop - anyone remember 'Chef', eh? What happened, Jon Favreau? What happened? Anyway, we're talking about that Brit romcomzomnom 'Finding Emily' with Spike Fearn and Angourie Rice, who just so happens to be the daughter from 'The Nice Guys' - which as fate would have it - is our classic movie this week in honour of its 10th anniversary.

'Pokémon: Indigo League' w/ Fionnuala Jones

SORRY FOR THE TERRIBLE AUDIO! I'm going to flag that right away, I messed up the levels on microphone but what of it, our bonus episode is all about Fionnuala Jones uncovering the excitement and appeal of 'Pokémon' and its first season, known to those with Pokéball knowledge as Indigo League. Fionnuala Jones [https://www.instagram.com/fionnualajay/] is the host of Flop Culture [https://shows.acast.com/flop-culture], as well as being a broadcaster, writer, radio contributor and can be seen and heard on The Six O'Clock Show on Virgin Media, Movies and Booze on Newstalk, and her own social media presence as well. Again, very sorry for my terrible audio production abilities, I'm almost forty episodes into this thing and I STILL cannot read audio levels properly.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2', 'Hokum' and 'Once Upon A Time In A Cinema'

Reviews of legacy sequels in April? Groundbreaking. Yes, on this week's show, I'm reviewing the long-in-gestation sequel to 'The Devils Wears Prada', a rom-com starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt that had zero impact on me and barely registered but somehow has become a cultural touchstone for a vast swathe of Western civilisation. It's always fun when you're reminded of how alone you are in the world. Elsewhere, I'm reviewing Damian McCarthy's 'Hokum', starring Adam Scott in which he experiences the true and disturbing horror of holidaying in rural Ireland, and I'm also talking about 'Once Upon A Time In A Cinema', David Gleeson's semi-autobiographical tale of local cinemas on the eve of their demise. It's all fun, fun, fun content! LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE! LEAVE A COMMENT! DO IT UP!

'Michael', 'Mother Mary' + 'Exit 8'

HEEE HEEEEEEEEE. So, I'm back from my two-week hiatus with a review of 'Michael', the musical biopic of Michael Jackson which curiously leaves out the most talked-about aspect of his life and career, 'Mother Mary', a film about an international pop sensation haunted by demons both figuratively and literally, and finally, a brief review and chat about 'Exit 8', videogame adaptations and finally getting on the 'Invincible' hypetrain. Do it up!

The Long Good Screenland Friday

WHO LIT THE FUSE THAT TORE BRIAN'S WORLD APART? Yes, on this week's Screenland, I'm talking about the innate banality of 'Super Mario Galaxy World', the corporate synergy mixed with Charlie Day shouting out Luigi Mangione during the press tour, the Sky Original-ness of Sky Original movie 'Fuze', and I am waxing lyrical about Bob Hoskins, old-school interviews with Barry Norman, outrageous sax riffs, and London villains in our classic movie of the week, 1980's 'The Long Good Friday'. HAVE IT SON.
