It's been a huge part of our lives now for well over a decade. Some of us love it, some of us despise it. However, there is no denying that the birth of social media has impacted the population in a huge way. So, we thought we'd take the opportunity this week to talk about a couple of films where social media plays a huge part.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 + Kill Bill Vol. 2

Tue, 18 May 2021 22:00:51 +0000

I think Monthy Python said it best... 'and now for something completely different'. Influenced by Charlize Theron's superb portrayal as Furiosa discussed in last week's episode, the choice for kick-ass females seemed an easy one. So that's what we did.

However, instead of choosing two separate films this week, we've gone with one kick-ass female spread across two films. In this episode we take a long look at Quentin Tarantino's blood-drenched revenge extravaganza, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 starring the incredible Uma Thurman as the iconic Bride.

Mad Max Fury Road + Stalker

Mon, 10 May 2021 21:36:08 +0000

Timing has never really been our strong suit, so doing a show about a couple of Post-Apocalyptic movies as we (hopefully) are coming out of a pandemic in the UK may not be the greatest idea but what the hell... we did it anyway.

Lauren's choice this week is the action packed extravangza Mad Max Fury Road from the crazy mind of George Miller. Jordan's pick, however, is a little more subdued with Andrei Tarkovsky's seminal sci-fi masterpiece, Stalker.
