Primal Fear
09/12/2025

Richard Gere - tick. Edward Norton - tick.

The Last Castle
07/11/2025

Released in 2001, the Last Castle didn't have a great start - Stephen explains why that might be, but it's a hidden gem to him so what will Trev think?

This is a story of respect, leadership and doing what's right.

American Pie
07/04/2025

A teen comedy with more than a little Adult Themes.

Find out on Fetch on your Hisense TV and then unpack it with Trevor and Stephen.

05/30/2025

This 1990 classic is something everyone's seen - right? Not Trev! And perhaps you're younger than the 90's so haven't seen it - never a better time to watch Ghost.
