Episode 177 - Hopes and Fears For Sonic The Hedgehog 3
April 18, 2024 08:52 - 27 minutes - 42.5 MBIn episode 177 of Film Focus, I return to my Hopes and Fears series this time discussing the highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The hype for this film has been rising a lot in recent months and has reached a new pitch recently with the announcement of Keanu Reeves set to voice Shadow the Hedgehog. A lot could go right with this sequel, but there is also a lot that could go wrong. So join me as I list a few of my hopes and fears for the upcoming Sonic film. The Film Focus Theme was prod...

April 02, 2024 12:46 - 21 minutes - 32.6 MBIn episode 176 of Film Focus, I review the latest film in the Monsterverse in the form of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. It seems like the hype surrounding all things Godzilla has reached new heights in the last few months with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters bringing kaiju action and human stories to TV, while Godzilla Minus One made a big splash over here in the West and even won an Oscar. So now you have the follow-up to Godzilla vs. Kong which from the trailers seems to be doubling down on ...

March 12, 2024 12:23 - 26 minutes - 40.3 MBIn episode 175 of Film Focus, I return with my first review for a while in the form of Dune: Part Two. Those who follow the podcast know I was a fan of the first and have been looking forward to the sequel for ages. After seeing it twice, I want to share my thoughts in this review/celebration of this film's existence. So how is Dune: Part Two? Well, check out this spoiler-free episode to find out! P.S. Apologies for the minor sound issues, it was something I couldn't get around to during th...
Episode 174 - Hopes & Fears For Mortal Kombat 2
January 26, 2024 15:10 - 28 minutes - 43 MBIn episode 174 of Film Focus, I return to my Hopes and Fears series with my thoughts on the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2. With the sequel to the 2021 film wrapping up production recently, I thought it would be a fun idea to give some casual thoughts on the 2021 film nearly 3 years later, also briefly chat about how video game adaptations have risen up in recent years and then highlight a few key points that I am excited and afraid about with the MK sequel. I hope y'all enjoy it and apologies for...

Episode 172 - Top 10 Films of 2023
December 29, 2023 16:30 - 27 minutes - 41.2 MBIn episode 172 of Film Focus, I give you my favourite films from 2023. This has been another interesting year for films and while I don't think it reached the heights of 2022 in terms of the variety of films I enjoyed, there were certainly some bangers that could be appreciated. Crafting this top 10 was one of the easier ones I've done as most of my entries were set in stone from my first viewing, though some changes were made towards the end of the year. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the epi...
Episode 171 - FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The Legend of Zelda Film Announcement
November 08, 2023 14:56 - 20 minutes - 32 MBIn episode 171 of Film Focus, I return after a bit of a hiatus to share my thoughts on the big announcement from Nintendo that they're making a LIVE-ACTION Legend of Zelda film with Sony Pictures. I think a lot of people assumed the next big franchise from Nintendo that would get an adaptation after Mario would be Zelda, but I don't some of us were ready for it to be a live-action film, especially considering the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Now there is certainly a lot to be exci...
Episode 170 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Review
August 03, 2023 11:44 - 20 minutes - 31.9 MBIn episode 170 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest incarnation of the Ninja Turtles in the form of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Now TMNT is a franchise that I've liked bits and pieces of but never fully invested my time into and I was hoping after the promising trailers for this new film with its unique visual style and interesting voice cast, that Mutant Mayhem would be the film to win me over. So is this film a great new version of TMNT or not? Well, check out ...
Episode 169 - Double Review: Barbie & Oppenheimer
July 26, 2023 15:16 - 29 minutes - 43.9 MBIn episode 169 of Film Focus, I give you my reviews for two of the biggest films of the year in the form of Barbie and Oppenheimer. I still find it bizarre and hilarious that we live in a world where both of these films were not only released on the same day but that the internet banded together to create the meme/movement/event known as "Barbenheimer". And so just like a bunch of other people I decided to do a double bill and now I'm ready to share my thoughts. So did these films live up to...
Episode 168 - Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Review
July 12, 2023 14:25 - 25 minutes - 38.2 MBIn episode 168 of Film Focus, I finally get to talk about the latest entry in the Mission: Impossible film series; Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. I feel like the wait for this film has been one of the most agonising in recent memory with it being pushed back from its 2022 release date. And considering the cast and trailers, Dead Reckoning Part One has been on my mind every other day of the week in the lead-up to its release date. So is this another great entry into the franch...
Episode 167 - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Review
June 21, 2023 13:50 - 25 minutes - 37.7 MBIn episode 167 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest film in the Transformers film series; Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Now my interest in this franchise has definitely dropped off in recent years, but after Bumblebee in 2018, I did feel hopeful that this film series was on an upswing. And while the marketing didn't do much to excite me, I was still optimistic about Rise of the Beasts considering the inclusion of the Maximals. So is this another solid entry in the franchise o...
Episode 166 - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse QUICK THOUGHTS
June 05, 2023 09:39 - 9 minutes - 14.3 MBIn episode 166 of Film Focus, I share my quick thoughts on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Spidey Fever seems to be sweeping the online space and for good reason, Across the Spider-Verse is a remarkable film and even though I am ill at the moment, I wanted to share a short review of why I enjoyed it so much. Look forward to a more detailed review and spoiler-filled episodes in the future. Indi produced the Film Focus Theme. Check out his work at: @indiandthevegas Follow me on Twitter: ...

June 01, 2023 14:02 - 1 hour - 82.5 MBIn episode 165 of Film Focus, I present the second half of the lost 2021 episode in the form of the Spider-Man film rankings with my friend/co-host, Ross. In part 1 we gave our picks for 9-5 and in part 2, we present our picks for 4-1. It is a little longer than the last episode but we couldn't help but do a little gushing. So how did we rank these Spidey films? Well, check out the episode to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme. Check out his work at: @indiandthevegas Follow me on...
Episode 164 - Ranking the Spider-Man Films Part 1
May 31, 2023 13:33 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBIn episode 164 of Film Focus, I present to you a lost episode of the podcast from late 2021 in which returning guest and friend Ross and I ranked all 9 of the current theatrical Spider-Man films. However, while recording I realised that it would be too much for one single episode so I split it in two, so here is part 1 where we give our entries for 9-5. So how did we rank these Spidey films? Well, check out the episode to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme. Check out his work at: ...
Episode 163 - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Review
May 06, 2023 16:15 - 24 minutes - 37.1 MBIn episode 163 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest superhero film from Marvel Studios in the form of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! The Marvel Cinematic Universe just hasn't hit the same since Avengers: Endgame and even though I have enjoyed certain bits from Phase 4, overall. Marvel's output has been inconsistent and less captivating than in previous years. But with James Gunn returning to finish off this trilogy I had a feeling he'd make sure this series would end on a high. S...
Episode 162 - The Super Mario Bros. Movie Review
April 05, 2023 13:40 - 21 minutes - 32.2 MBIn episode 162 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the highly anticipated video game adaptation; The Super Mario Bros. Movie! After being burned by the live-action film in 1993, Nintedno kept their properties under lock and key for decades until recently when they decided to give the Mario franchise a second chance, this time through the power of animation via Illumination Entertainment. And since that first trailer dropped, fans and casual audiences have become more and more hyped by the p...
Episode 161 - John Wick: Chapter 4 Review
April 04, 2023 10:36 - 17 minutes - 27 MBIn episode 161 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on John Wick: Chapter 4. I have been a big fan of this series since the first film, but it was really Chapter 2 that really cemented my love for this series with its world-building, crazier action sequences and beautiful locations. So is this film another hit in the series or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme. Check out his work at: @indiandthevegas Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter...
Episode 160 - Double Review: Creed 3 & Rye Lane
March 27, 2023 17:01 - 16 minutes - 25.8 MBIn episode 160 of Film Focus, I give you my quick yet late thoughts on Creed 3 and Ryle Lane. The former was a film I had been hyped for since the latter side of 2022 and the latter I had been super curious about over the past month. Even though it took a while to find the time to record the podcast, I just had to share my mini reviews for the next major film release. So good or bad were these films? Well, listen to this episode to find out! :D Timecodes: 02:19 Creed 3n Review 11:42 Ryle La...
Episode 159 - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review
February 24, 2023 20:34 - 40 minutes - 34.8 MBIn episode 159 of Film Focus, I am joined by a new guest, my good homie Lucas as we share our thoughts on the newest film from Marvel Studios in the form of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Now I really love the first Ant-Man but wasn't so keen on the sequel. And so with Quantumania, there were a lot of expectations to not only be better than what came before but also usher in the next phase of the MCU. So did this film succeed or fail? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out! ...
Episode 158 - Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Is a Lot of Fun
February 21, 2023 12:00 - 18 minutes - 27.9 MBIn episode 158 of Film Focus, I give you a review of sorts, it's more of a casual discussion of appreciation for the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. I had been super curious about this film since its release in America towards the end of December with all the positive word of mouth that was online. And while it took me a little while to check it out once it released here in the UK, I watched it last week and had a blast. So while I will technically be doing a review of the film, I will be ...

Episode 156 - Top 10 Films of 2022
December 30, 2022 14:10 - 30 minutes - 44.6 MBIn episode 156 of Film Focus, I give you my favourite films from 2022. This year has had a nice variety of films from the cinema to streaming, and I've had a lot of fun checking out all sorts of films from stuff that I like to films that are outside of my wheelhouse. This top 10 was one of the hardest I had to craft and as you'll hear a lot of films ended up getting bumped off even though I enjoyed them a lot. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy the episode. Indi produced the Film Focus Theme. Check...
Episode 155 - Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailer 2 Impressions
December 01, 2022 19:07 - 19 minutes - 28.9 MBIn episode 155 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the second trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. When I reviewed the teaser trailer back in October I was pretty positive and in this episode, you'll discover that my hype has only heightened since then. There's a lot to cover, but this isn't an analysis, but more of a quick impression of what I liked from the trailer. P.S. This is very off the cuff so excuse my forgetfulness regarding character names, locations and the mini tangents I ...
Episode 154 - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Review
November 12, 2022 21:57 - 23 minutes - 34.5 MBIn episode 154 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest superhero film from Marvel Studios in the form of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I feel like I have gone on an interesting journey with Wakanda Forever when it comes to my anticipation levels. I originally didn't have much in the way of hope or interest after Chadwick's passing, but after I saw the first trailer and saw the Comic-Con panel interviews, I did a 180 and became pretty excited/curious to see how this film would turn...
Episode 153 - Black Adam Review
October 26, 2022 19:35 - 20 minutes - 31.8 MBIn episode 153 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest superhero film in the form of Black Adam. Now I have been curious about this film for a while since Dwyane Johnson has been talking about making it for years and when the first teaser came out I was pretty hyped for it. But subsequent trailers haven't been as captivating. But after waiting for this film to materialize for so long was it worth the wait? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out! The Film Focus Theme w...

October 07, 2022 11:05 - 25 minutes - 37.8 MBIn episode 152 of Film Focus, I share with you my thoughts on the teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Now I have been very curious about this film since its announcement and even more since the voice cast was revealed in late 2021. And so now that we've finally gotten an idea of what this film looks like and how it sounds, I wanted to do an episode just sharing my general thoughts on it in as a gamer and film fan. So join me for some informative yet scattered thoughts on this teas...
Episode 151 - Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Review
August 25, 2022 15:07 - 26 minutes - 41.2 MBIn episode 151 of Film Focus, I finally get around to sharing my thoughts on the newest Dragon Ball film; Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Now I absolutely loved Broly in 2019, so naturally, I was excited for whatever Toei would release afterwards. I think we were all blindsided by the switch to 3D animation and how it was initially presented to us. But with time I slowly started to adjust to it and went from trepidation to cautious optimism. So was it a good time or not? Well, check out this ...
Episode 150 - Double Review: Bullet Train and Prey
August 08, 2022 11:51 - 33 minutes - 50.1 MBOn episode 150 of Film Focus, I give you another film double with reviews for Bullet Train and Prey. With Bullet Train I was curious about it from the trailers, but also due to the cast and director. And when it comes to Prey, after the horrible 2018 film I was checked out of the franchise, but the choice of director, setting and trailer definitely caught my interest. So how did these films fare?

Episode 149 - Thor: Love and Thunder Review
July 14, 2022 16:32 - 21 minutes - 32.4 MBIn episode 149 of Film Focus, I discuss my thoughts on the latest Marvel superhero film; Thor: Love and Thunder. Now I liked Ragnarok but wasn't in love with it and so my anticipation for this film wasn't too high. But once I saw some set pictures and more importantly that teaser trailer, I did a 180 and felt way more compelled to give the film a try. So was it a good time or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to find out! The Film Focus Theme was produced by Indi. Check out his w...

Now after Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom left me frustrated and disappointed with the state of this franchise, I said I was done and wasn't going to watch another entry... However, when I saw the last trailer with Alan, Ellie and Malcolm together, I was begrudgingly curious to see how this new film played out. So was it a good time or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free review to ...
Episode 146 - Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Review (SPOILER-FREE)
May 07, 2022 19:15 - 26 minutes - 39.4 MBIn episode 146 of Film Focus, I finally get to talk about another one of my most anticipated films of 2022; Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Now I quite enjoyed the first Doctor Strange film from 2016 and was curious to see what a sequel would look like, but I didn't expect the Marvel Cinematic Universe to expand and morph into what it is now with so many new characters and potential for stories in alternate realities. So the inclusion of Sam Raimi as well as the trailers definite...
Episode 145 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Spoiler Talk
April 21, 2022 20:13 - 27 minutes - 41.8 MBIn episode 145 of Film Focus, I get to go all spoiler mode on Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Having seen the film twice as of last week, it felt like the right time to talk about the film in some greater detail. Now, this isn't an in-depth look at all the deep details, but more of a casual overview of certain pros and cons that came with the plot, characters and presentation. Hope y'all enjoy it. P.S. I switch between Dr Robotnik and Dr Eggman on several occasions throughout the episode as I couldn't...
Episode 144 - Morbius Review
April 07, 2022 12:07 - 17 minutes - 27.1 MBIn episode 144 of Film Focus, I talk about the latest superhero film which is a spin-off from the Spider-Man film universe; Morbius. I really wasn't interested in the idea of this film from the outset and the marketing really didn't do much to change my stance as I found the trailers to be uninteresting. So was this a good experience or not? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! The Film Focus Theme was produced by Indi. Check out his work at: @indiandthevegas Follow me on ...
Episode 143 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review (SPOILER-FREE)
April 04, 2022 13:17 - 20 minutes - 30.5 MBIn episode 143 of Film Focus, I get to share my thoughts on a film I have been waiting a good while for; Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The first film from 2020 was a fun little film, but it definitely felt like it could've used more video game material. And with the lead up to this film all of the interviews, posters and trailers seemed to be giving the fans exactly what they wanted with more classic characters, mythology and references to the source material. So is this video game sequel fans have ...
Episode 142 - The Batman Review
March 07, 2022 16:27 - 19 minutes - 20.3 MBIn episode 142 of Film Focus, after a long wait, I finally get to share my thoughts on the latest superhero film; The Batman. I have been fascinated by this film since it was announced and have followed it intensely since and with the incredible trailers that dropped, my hype rose to new heights. Just the idea of a more detective-focused Batman film from the director of the last two Planet of the Apes films was enough to ensure I would see it. So is this film the next best superhero adaptatio...
Episode 141 - Uncharted Review
February 15, 2022 19:03 - 17 minutes - 19.5 MBIn episode 141 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest video game adaptation; Uncharted. Even though I've not played the Uncharted games, I'm aware of their popularity and how well-regarded they are. So to see this film come into existence and take a different approach from the games, it had a lot to prove to the fans. So was this a good video game adaptation or not? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Cr...
Episode 140 - Moonfall Review
February 07, 2022 13:13 - 12 minutes - 14.1 MBOn episode 140 of Film Focus, after a little while away I'm back with my review for the latest Roland Emmerich film; Moonfall. I had no interest in this film prior to watching it, but I was curious to see what Emmerich had brought to this film and if it was potentially any better than his previous efforts. So was the film good or not? Well, listen to this episode to find out! "Pulse Rock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/...
Episode 139 - Top 10 Films 2021
December 31, 2021 08:00 - 21 minutes - 31.7 MBIn episode 139 of Film Focus, I give you my favourite films from 2021. This year has felt a bit uneventful for films, but I think that has been more a side effect of the pandemic. The first half of the year has been pretty dry, but once we got to the latter side of the summer into the autumn and winter seasons, I ended up seeing a good few films that held my attention. Making this list was a little tricky, but I think I came up with a decent one. Timecodes: 01:50 Runner Ups 04:23 Top 10 "P...

December 30, 2021 11:25 - 24 minutes - 36.3 MBIn episode 138 of Film Focus, I bring you my first triple review since 2017 with my opinions on West Side Story, The Matrix Resurrections and Encanto. I was originally going to do individual reviews for each of these films, but since I saw them very close to each around Christmas, I thought it would be easier and more efficient to do mini-reviews in one episode instead. So how do these films hold up? Well, check out the episode to find out. P.S. Here's the time codes for the specific review...
Episode 137 - Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Rant
December 28, 2021 18:00 - 17 minutes - 26.7 MBOn episode 137 of Film Focus, I'm back with an unscheduled episode in the form of an unscripted rant on Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. I knew the film woul be bad from the time the first trailer dropped and decided to give it a skip when it came out near the start of December. But I was bored recently and decided to give it a watch... And unfortunately the flm was not only one of the worst films I've watched this year but it also continues the trend of bad video game adaptations. "P...

December 11, 2021 22:05 - 16 minutes - 25.6 MBIn episode 135 of Film Focus, I share with you my thoughts on the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Now I was a fan of the 2019 film and was curious to see where the filmmakers would take this sequel. And slowly but surely the hype has been building from the set pictures revealing Knuckles to the fact that he'd be voiced by Idris Elba to the first official poster that dropped not too long ago. So join me for some scattered yet insightful thoughts on this trailer. "Pulse Rock" Kevin Mac...
Episode 134 - Ghostbusters: Afterlife Review
November 24, 2021 14:48 - 14 minutes - 22.7 MBIn episode 134 of Film Focus, I discuss my thoughts on Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The wait for this film has felt so long, not only because it has been delayed several times from its original release in 2020 because of the pandemic. But also because fans have waited for a proper continuation to this series since Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 (you know if you take the 2009 video game out of the equation). So is this a good entry in the Ghostbusters series or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free revie...

From the outset, I was super intrigued, but after the marketing came out, my interest dropped like an anchor to the depths of the ocean. I even debated seeing it in the opening week, but with the early reviews being so mixed, my curiosity was piqued. So is this film a boring mess or is it better than some are making it out to be? Well, check out...

November 06, 2021 08:00 - 23 minutes - 37.5 MBOn episode 132 of Film Focus, I have another film double with reviews for two of my most anticipated films of the year in the form of Dune and Last Night in Soho. Both of these films I have been excited for due to their directors but also for some specific reasons individually. For Dune I was enchanted by the second trailer and the music. and with Last Night in Soho, the premise and unique trailers had my interest for a very long time. So how did these films fare?
