It only took a global pandemic but we’re back again and trying out something a little different this time.

Seeing as we’re not catching many new movies  at cinemas these days, we decided to revisit some classics. and after running a poll on our social media accounts we settles on Jim Cameron’s Aliens from 1986. Yes. this time it’s war as we discuss Cameron’s almost perfect sequel, the amazing performances tech monster and more!

Join us as we chat about our love for Sgt. Apone, dropships, Sigourney Weaver, amazing scripts, knife tricks cornbread and the late great Bill Paxton and the boo his performance by Paul Reiser

If you voted for Gremlins or Poltergeist in our polls don’t worry, we should have something on these soon as the COVID-19 related isolation continues.

On this week’s show we review a very curious set of movies as Gavin investigates The Snowtown Murders and Bridge of Spies while Iain tries out The Intern, and reviews the final series of Continuum and talks a little about his experience with the Star Wars Battlefront Beta

As usual we also run down all the latest news and read through our longest email/comment EVER, but please note that we recorded this podcast BEFORE the new trailer for Star Wars was released so we don’t talk about that  (I thought it was awesome by the way).

Gavin’s first book  “How I Made My First Movie (Or, A Decade of Favours)” is also now available to buy on-line at MPH book stores by clicking here!

You can find the links for any trailers or cool stuff we talk about in the show notes below:
