The Land Before Prime

Up, Up and Just Slightly Off with the Flying: Superman (2025)

Parental Warning: The word Sh*t and B*stard are used briefly in this episode. If you have children in the car, please be warned. Tom grabs his red pants and dives cape-first into James Gunn’s Superman (2025) – a film that was always going to start a fanboy war. But is this new Man of Steel actually… good? In just 5 minutes, we cover angry Lex, sad Clark, confused Ultraman, and the finest superdog in cinema since Air Bud. Tom gives his spoiler-laced, sarcasm-laced, slightly-oversugared review of the DCU’s hopeful reboot. Henry Cavill fans, consider this your trigger warning. It’s retro suits, robot assistants called Gary, and a whole heap of pocket universe carnage. Welcome to The Land Before Prime – where cinema still lives on disc, and capes still matter.

HUNG, Drawn and Raging: It's 28 Years Later

Welcome to The Land Before Prime — where cinema and DVDs still matter, and no review dares to exceed 5 minutes. Today, Tom’s staring down the infected, the cults, and the curiously well-endowed Alphas in 28 Years Later — Danny Boyle’s brutal return to Rage territory. But can it outmatch 28 Days Later? Is there such a thing as zombie empathy? And what exactly is Big John swinging? Will Tom fit the whole review into 5 minutes? (Unlikely, but we admire the optimism.) No streaming. No buffering. Just real films — reviewed fast.
