Hello, movie maniacs!

This week, Mary and Dave watched Dreamworks’ newest animated film Forgotten Island.

The film explores friendship, growing up and growing apart, and accepting change – with added humour, excitement ,scares and Philippine myths and legends.

Unfortunately, like the excellent Hoppers, Forgotten Island is the victim of modern studios’ inability to market coming-of-age movies by trying to make everything look like Minions garbage.

But what did Mary and Dave think? Well, let them fansplain it for you.

Thanks for listening.

Hello, movie maniacs!

This week, Mary and Dave watched Zach Cregger’s take on the Resident Evil franchise.

After the diminishing returns of Paul WS Anderson’s Resident Evil series and the disappointing attempt at a a reboot with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, things weren’t looking too rosy for Cregger.

And maybe some of us were a little – or a lottle – disappointed that indie horror darling Cragger would agree to write and direct another instalment in this tired horror series when he could be creating another original horror gem.

What di...

To misquote Firefly’s Wash Washburn, “I am a Leaf Phoenix on the wind, watch how I soar!”

The year is 1986 and the film Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van are remembering is Space Camp starring Leaf (soon to be Joaquin) Phoenix. Also there’s a robot called Jinx – not to be confused with the Halle Berry character of the same name.

As the hosts talk they are refreshed by a drink called The Little Green Man, made from Brazilian Lemonade, topped off with a splash of Melon liquor. How do make Brazilian Lemonade? Well, firs...
