Episode 09: Tron Legacy
May 29, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 193 MBThe lads turn back to the house of mouse for this week's movie, Tron: Legacy. Is it an effects-heavy clunkathon, or much more than the very shiny sum of its parts? Having selected two Disney films out of three picks, Simon must convince the boys he's not on Uncle Walt's payroll, before assessing, after all the sensory pleasures subside, whether the film offers the emotional heft to match.

Episode 08: Good Time
May 21, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 176 MBWe go full neon and grime with the Safdie brother's low-budget film, Good Time. The question is, did the lads have one? James brings forward a movie that was hugely underseen at the time, featuring a performance from R-Patz that puts the Twilight movies firmly in the rear view mirror - but will Simon be able to handle the fact that the character makes some pretty damning choices? And, for that matter, will Rob be able to follow him if he's not donning double denim? Got a movie you think de...
Episode 07: The Punisher
May 14, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 212 MBThe bullets are back in an early Marvel revenge flick, The Punisher. Is it worthy of being included in the wider family of the MCU? Or is it the MCU's weird cousin who shouldn't get invited anywhere? Travolta's hair, Jane's abs, Patton's outrageous gravitas, the practical effects, the schizophrenic score, the one glaringly awful use of CGI, the clownish team of sidekicks... There's a lot to go at, but by God, the gents are going to try. Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration? Give ...
Episode 06: John Carter
May 07, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBSimon is at the plate for this weeks episode as the guys take a trip to Barsoom for Andrew Stanton's, John Carter. If you're a lover of abdominal muscles, obscure 90's football references and the idea of a film critic getting trapped inside his own metaphor. This is the episode for you! We also discuss the movie.

Episode 05: Predestination
April 30, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 154 MBIt's time for some time travel and Predestination. Can the lads unpack their toughest assignment to date and keep their brains from scrambling in the process? The gents have to ask the big questions of life, love, fate, the hereafter, and infinity - and test each other on just how well they managed to understand a film that offers constant surprises.

Episode 04: Click
April 24, 2019 01:00 - 1 hour - 171 MBRob's pick brings howls of panic and derision, as he attempts to convince that the 2006 Adam Sandler film, Click, deserves your love after all. A film that Rob and Simon loved, while James most certainly did not, falls under the microscope. Beneath the crass jokes, Oscar-nominated make-up work, and ill-judged moments, does a tender heart beat with a profound message? Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration?

Episode 03: Dead Man's Shoes
April 16, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 170 MBThe focus turns low-budget as the boys take a look at Shane Meadow's Dead Man's Shoes, and try to get a sponsorship deal with Pot Noodle in the process. The lads turn back the years to their student days in Sheffield to check out a film that was filmed & funded locally, and was heavily referenced in their early studies. Will it stand the test of time, or was a heady nostalgia responsible for a false young love? Got a movie you think deserves reconsideration? Give us a shout on Twitter @FYR...
Episode 02: Speed Racer
April 12, 2019 11:05 - 51 minutes - 117 MBThe gents are back with another episode of filmic fun, this time checking out 2008's fairly colourful offering from the Wachowskis, Speed Racer. Will Speed Racer earn a recommendation? Will Simon remember who stole his DVD of the film when it first came out ten years ago? Will James survive the seige of whirling colours and hold onto his lunch? Will Rob handle the two hour run time and the fact that it doesn't star Jean-Claude Van Damme? Find out now! Got a movie you think deserves reconsi...
Episode 01: Hard Target
April 10, 2019 17:32 - 1 hour - 159 MBYour hosts Rob, James and Simon discuss John Woo's 1993 American Debut, Hard Target. No stone is left unturned as the chaps discuss the movie front to back, inside and out. The incredible 90s score, the never-still camerawork, the scene-stealing extras...right down to Van Damme's three intros and his frankly incredible hair.
