FILM FIGHT: Death Becomes Her - with Drunk Theory Podcast
May 12, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBEpisode Ten, and boy do I have a surprise for you! This week I am joined by the fabulous Drunk Theory podcast to discuss the 1992 supernatural comedy Death Becomes Her - was it really as awful as I thought it was? Or was it a great big fun movie that everyone else thinks it was? We did discuss the film... a little bit... along with a tale of being trapped at the movies, the lives and careers of several actors who have nothing to do with this film, and whether we also need to talk about True...

This week I take a look at one of cinemas greatest directors - Tim Burton. He's been at the top of his game for nearly 40 years - or has he?

I attempt to look into this further by comparing his best films, which according to Rotten Tomatoes ...

Eddie Murphy 'Norbits' his chance of an Oscar
April 14, 2021 00:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MBEpisode six and we're feeling fine! Each week I get the best and worst films on a particular theme and pit them against each other to see who comes out on top! Back in 2007, Eddie Murphy was riding high on the success of a critically lauded supporting performance in Dreamgirls, and was a shoo in to win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars - that was until Norbit came along, supposedly scaring the Oscar voters away and scuppering his shot at the golden statuette. This is maybe too simplistic,...
Console Wars

Each giant traded blows, although eventually they blew themselves out and young American upstarts Sony and Microsoft took over the fight to see who ...

By now you'll know that each week I get the best and worst films on a particular theme and pit them against each other to see who's the winner! It's been common over the years to take a story and reverse either the Gender or Race of the main protagonists in an attempt to say something different - or as a cynical attempt to grab more of your cash. For this weeks episode I'm comparing the Julia Roberts Nineties Rom Com My Best Friend's Wed...

By now you'll know that each week I get the best and worst films on a particular theme and pit them against each other to see who's the winner!

Is Fantastic Four as bad as people say it is? Who would win in a fight? Fantastic Four trailer: h...
