Bumblebee Tuna Movie Reviews
Weekly movie podcast hosted by Chris & Corey, each week we watch a film that either one or both of us haven't seen and we share our thoughts. We're not experts or movie critics, just your average movie lovers with a long list of films we should have already watched! So sit down with us as we chat all things movies.
12 - The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
After a week off the boys are back and they're reviewing the classic 1988 slapstick comedy The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! They discuss how the movie compares to the original TV series, what their favourite gags from the film are and also talk about how this style of comedy might not be to everyone's liking.

11 - Local Hero
Things are certainly a lot lighter this week as we talk about the 80's feel-good movie Local Hero. For our second listener suggested movie we talk about the nice message the film has, the focus on subtlety the director had and whether one watch was enough to really appreciate it.

10 - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
It's a dark one this week as we review David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, we speak about the very tough but incredible performance from Rooney Mara, whether or not the brutally graphic scenes were actually necessary and if maybe David Fincher tried to cram too much into one movie. Tune in to find out what the boys rated it on the Bumblebee Tuna rating system.

9 - Philadelphia
It's our first audience movie suggestion this week as we review Philadelphia. We talk about how important the film was for the gay community and AIDS victims at the time, the Oscar winning performance of Tom Hanks and the controversy around the real life story the movie took inspiration from.

8 - Nightcrawler
Chris and Corey chat about the 2014 movie Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal. They discuss the lack of recognition the movie got from the academy, the moral and ethical issues with the job of a nightcrawler and there's yet another disagreement between the boys about how to rate the movie. Let us know who you agree with!

7 - Rocky
It's another classic this week and a true underdog story both on screen and off it as we watch Rocky. We discuss the difficulty Sylvester Stallone had making the movie, the questionable romance between Rocky and Adrian and the surprisingly little amount of actual boxing in the film.

6 - The Matrix
Would you choose red or blue? That's the big question from this weeks episode as Chris and Corey discuss The Matrix. We discuss the brilliant fight sequences, the themes of AI both in the film and real life and whether or not the romantic elements of the movie were actually necessary.

5 - Jaws (& The Odyssey)
It's a big one this week as we watch the Steven Spielberg classic Jaws! We talk practical effects vs CGI, the problems the film had during production and whether the film stands the test of time. Chris and Corey have also been to the cinema to see The Odyssey, so of course had to discuss it, will there be yet another disagreement about a Christopher Nolan film?

4 - The Green Mile
SPOILER WARNING (We forgot to give one in the episode!)
There's a dead man walking this week as Chris and Corey talk about The Green Mile, the Oscar nominated adaptation of Stephen King's serial novel. There's plenty of praise (and possibly a few tears) for this Frank Darabont classic but will the boys finally give a different Bumblebee rating?

3 - Interstellar
Chris and Corey venture deep into space this week to talk about the epic Christopher Nolan film Interstellar. We discuss the practical effects used to make the film, how it compares to other Christopher Nolan films and also the boys disagree on just how far they're willing to suspend their disbelief in regards to science fiction. Does Christopher Nolan ask too much of the audience?

2 - Sinners
This week things get a bit supernatural as Chris and Corey sit down and discuss Sinners, the record breaking Ryan Coogler film starring Michael B. Jordan. We discuss the film that heavily inspired Ryan Coogler to make Sinners, the brilliant acting performances and also whether or not we think it's really as good as the critics say it is. Listen and find out just how many bumblebees we rate it!
