The Patreons helped us pick what is the final review of 2024, with a seemingly charming looking Netflix exclusive, That Christmas. Penned by Richard Curtis, we were intrigued to see how this UK based film would play out, But was is the lesser of two evils from the other movie it was pitted against? Santa banter, Love Actually, how to build a snowman, and being lonely at Christmas are some of the topics we bring up in this festive finale, and we hope you enjoy listening in whilst having a mince pie and a little tipple. Merry Christmas to all, or however you celebrate the holidays! -------------------------------------------------------Christmas messages provided by @Chatsunamipod and @HypnoWellness1 ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers x.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

The Muppets. It's a Wonderful Life. These two things should make for an amazing combination, right? Right??? As we go through this relatively short review, we contemplate on how well this concept works, why it feels much more edgy than other Muppets outings, why the cast of Scrubs were involved - and how many times can Muppets Christmas Carol be brought up??  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers x.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Another unconventional Christmas movie we bring you this episode, and it's one that we didn't get chance to cover last year due to UK/US cinema release schedules - it's 2023's The Holdovers from director Alexander Payne. As we spend time talking about the likeability of the characters, we also touch upon musical responsibilities, the joys of a good meal, the importance of being a Paul, and overall how festive it makes us feel!  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers x.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Our spooky season 2024 continues as we take a trip up to Hill House, all the way back to 1963 with The Haunting (certainly not the remake with Catherine Zeta-Jones). Will Sophie find anything spooky with this iteration? Is there more than meets the eye with our two female leads? Is there more intrigue in this style of horror than a straight up slasher?

For Sophie is going to be watching The Omen (from 1976) for the first time, and learn why Damien is not the nice name she thinks it is... Will she find this scary?

This episode we are taking a look into an '80's fantasy favourite that has passed Sophie by - that being The Neverending Story.

We love the Looney Tunes, and with this movie being compared to a live action version of that, we took a chance and sat down to witness what Hundreds of Beavers had to offer with that bold statement! As well as going over how the humour holds up, we also manage to distinguish Christmas elements from the story, a potential nod to Roger Rabbit, and how very VERY different raccoons are from beavers...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Bonjourno! This episode is not only about Sophie experiencing Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds for the first time, but also the opportunity for Paul to decide whether this movie still remains his favourite of the director's filmography... As we go over the film to find out if it is still top marks (and if Sophie sees the appeal), we also talk about Spaghetti Western influences, David Bowie deep cuts, the speediness of European language subtitles - and what is the correct way to play 21 Questions???    ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

After Sophie experiencing Ridley Scott's 1979 movie Alien for the first time this year (FYI go check out that previous episode), it was uncertain whether we would be covering the release of Alien: Romulus as a follow up. But the stars had aligned and we were able to venture out to the cinema to go and experience the newest installment in the Alien franchise from horror director Fede Álvarez. This review contains a spoiler-free section to get our general consensus on the film, before we move into the meat of the movie in the spoiler section (timecode 18:42). We also touch upon how other franchises tackle prequels and sequels, the use of legacy characters, and what the most frightening sequence of the film was for both of us...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

The Patreons have Paul take a trip down memory lane with an iconic '90's kids show turned movie from The Rugrats (with Rugrats in Paris: The Movie thrown in for good measure). As Sophie has only seen the show, it seemed a nice change of pace to go with easy going watches that may offer way more that what appears on the surface. So hold on to your diapies babies - we're going in to see if the nostalgia goggles are still functioning...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Life is like a box of chocolates - you don't know what you're gonna get... and you don't know what you're gonna get with Sophie giving her first impressions on Robert Zemeckis' 1994 drama Forrest Gump, after holding back from watching the movie all this time. Positive or negetive??

What was the cause of this creature feature reoccurance? And what will Sophie make of... The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms!?!? This episode also includes Paul doing his best American old-timey voiceover impersonation, what he recalls of his dinosaur knowledge, what monstrous lizard Sophie saw at Chester Zoo, and another link to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

They don't make movies like this anymore, that's for sure... a horror infused action/adventure story that works for young adults and beyond. But what is it about this retelling that makes it so beloved? To help us with uncovering the secrets of its success, we are joined by very big fans of this film, Sean and Sarah from the Review It Yourself Podcast. As we delve into our favourite characters, sequel 'spoilers' and romanticising what could have been for Imhotep, listen out for references on Scooby-Doo, Attack of the Clones, Gremlins - and even Titanic (in which I implore you to go check out our full review on that film to get the full insight!) Review It Yourself Links:Instagram - @reviewityourselfpodcast2021Twitter/X - @YourselfReviewWeird Horizon Links:https://linktr.ee/WeirdHorizon ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

It's crazy to think that movies have existed for over 100 years... and in this episode, we're covering a film all way back from the 1920's. On top of that, it's also our first outing with Charlie Chaplin. So here is our review of the comedy-drama from the silent era, The Kid. During our discussion of whether this made us laugh or cry, we also touch upon why this wasn't a Patreon pick, how beneficial 4K is to black and white film, morals of Tom and Jerry cartoons - and is Chaplin in fact the 1920's equivalent of Tommy Wiseau??  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Good guys and bad guys, GTA, Curb Your Enthusiasm - and of course driving - are some of the talking points we have in the following episode... This movie (much like Alien) has been on the watch pile to discuss for the longest time, but now Sophie is finally getting the chance to watch (and oggle over) Ryan Gosling in the 2011 action thriller Drive. Was her experience of viewing this film a thrill ride, or more like a slow crawl in rush hour traffic?

The Patreons helped us pick an LGBTQ movie for us to cover as part of Pride Month, and the winner was All of Us Strangers from 2023, starring Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Was the story inviting, or was it isolating? Alongside talking about the emotional rollercoaster this film brings, we also discuss the right etiquette for crossing legs, religious fears from school, loneliness, and The Power of Love (plus other excellent needle drops).   ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

In space, no one can hear you scream... but you can certainly hear Sophie's thoughts on watching Ridley Scott's 1979 movie Alien for the first time! Plus we have another person on deck to join in on the discussion - James from the Biscuits and Bluray Podcast (@biscuitsnblurays on IG) - so it's definitely going to be a fantastic mission! As we delve into what makes this sci-fi slow burn so great, we also touch upon the sequels, the new entry into the Alien franchise for 2024, A Grand Day Out, Radiohead, more horror chat - plus listen out for Paul and Sophie becoming androids in the last 10 minutes of this episode...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

We're breaking the cycle with the third installment in our second year of Ani-May, which has us look back at another 2021 anime that Sophie was very happy to be re-watching and reviewing - that being Mamoru Hosoda's Belle (and it might have something to do with the parallels to Beauty and the Beast...) As we look back over this sci-fi musical, we also take note of the director's other work in similar themes, a jab at the Avengers, Polly Pockets, and the good and the bad sides of online interactions (and what it's done for us!)  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

In our next installment of Ani-May season 2, we take a more seemingly European approach(?) for a Japanese animation, as we both check out The Deer King from 2021 for the first time. During our discussion you'll hear what has Paul darting over to the blu-ray shelf, whether the movie title should go by another name, what made Paul upset and Sophie annoyed - and obligitary Pokemon references!! Promo ad provided by The Good, The Bad and The Weird Podcast ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

It's round two of 'Ani-May' (still a clever title) and we asked the Patreons to pick one of two cyberpunk-themed heavy hitters. Yes, to Sophie's delight, we're going gritty instead of cutesy from the start with Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime movie Akira. Despite the despair that occurs in this dytopian 'future', there is still beauty to be found - as Paul tries to point out to Sophie throughout the discussion. On top of that we have more 4K appreciation, anger at animated nudity, and contemplation on whether time would allow Paul to ever delve into the manga series... Promo ad provided by Deconstructing Comics ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

As we close in on second running of our themed month, we remember a previous themed month of Monster March with a lighthearted '80's comedy in the form of Teen Wolf. Does the movie have a lot of bite, or are the fangs just for show? We also discuss Turning Red, basketball movies, just how hairy is Paul, and Sophie dives deeper than you think into the characteristics of the character Styles (never mind Michael J. Fox's character Scotty!) ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price... thankfully, this episode costs you nothing, but it's certainly a doozie - as this is Sophie's first experience with the 1991 Kathryn Bigalow movie Point Break! On top of that, we are also joined by massive movie fan and fellow podcaster Em of Verbal Diorama fame (@verbaldiorama on IG) to discuss the rad cinematography, how they don't make action films like they used to, gush of Reeves and Swayze - and would the sequel be even worth watching without them in it??... plus much much more!!  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

We're saddling up on our horses once again as we mosey on down to Old West, but this time with a promise of James Stewart for Sophie. Yessir, we're taking our chances with checking out the 1939 Comedy-Western movie, Destry Rides Again. As part of the discussion, we also reflect on Jimmy's previous movie roles (particularly ones we've covered), whether there is in fact anything in star power, and most importanly - does this iteration of the Wild West sway Sophie's opinion of the genre at all??   ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

This might seem like a delayed April Fool's joke, but in this episode we are in fact discussing The Lizzie McGuire Movie for the rare occasion of Sophie recommending a film to watch that Paul hasn't seen before.

Nicolas Cage. John Travolta. 90's action movie. These are the elements that John Woo combined together to bring us Face/Off - a film that is known for its unhinged performances from both leads, but both of us are getting to experience the insanity for the first time! As we give our thoughts on this O.T.T. spectacle, we also touch upon the fact there is a lot of touching faces, who gave the better performance acting as the other, and what would alert us into thinking that one of us was an imposter...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

An epic tale of both romance and disaster from visionary filmmaker James Cameron - yes, we are finally setting sail to talk about the legendary 1997 movie Titanic. This is Sophie's first time experiencing it, and so; does the grand maiden voyage of the famous ship entrance her, or does the whole experience sink to the depths like the tragedy that befell it? As we go through the film, we also discuss how Paul sees a similarity to the movie Jaws (not for reason you may think) the highs and lows of emotions Sophie felt (with amusing results, I must say), as well as coming to the conclusion of what might have been the real reason for the Titanic sinking...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Listeners rejoice! Thanks to the Patreons, our third festive episode of 2023 comes in the form of a black and white 40's flick called The Bishop's Wife, starring Cary Grant as a guardian angel helping out a troubled soul around Christmas time. Does this sound familiar? As we give you our short but sweet review of the movie to find out if it is to be deemed a classic, we discuss whether the effects looked magical or miserable, what life lessons we could all take from this story - and how many times can we say; 'It's a Wonderful Life'??? N.B. - you could make a drinking game out of it, and you'd wish you didn't have a refilling wine glass...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! For our second seasonal episode of 2023, we're covering not one, but TWO favourites of the festive season that I'm sure you all love as much as we do - 1990's Home Alone and the 1992 follow-up, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. As we go through comparing both these movies in our typical loose fashion, we also talk about where else the noir movie within the movie crops up, encountering an unintentional jump scare, and ultimately getting down to what makes the sequel stand out as Paul's preference...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Let the festivities begin! For the first Christmas themed review of 2023, we're both taking a look at something new(ish) and hip (maybe?) with a Netflix original movie named Love Hard (combo of Love Actually and Die Hard) starring Nina Dobrev. Does this film deliver something different from the regular holiday season flicks, or fall into the same trappings as you'd expect??

Just before the festive flicks start up for this year, this episode we're covering a cult fantasy movie classic full of memorable characters and quotable lines, that surely will tick all the right boxes for Sophie's sensibilities. Or is it perhaps... inconceivable?? As well as going over the love story of Westley and Buttercup, we contemplate what is the true moral of the tale, touch upon where we see similarities with another cinematic fairytale story, and a fairy is spotted by Sophie from a more seasonal movie...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

As the cold nights draw in for the winter months, we both take in a film we haven't seen for our first attempt at the theme of Noir-vember, that was decide by our Patreons - 2014's Nightcrawler. Did the story deliver with high stakes tension? Why does Jake Gyllenhaal's character have such a riduculous name? And what was it that shocked Sophie the most about the movie?

"What are you going to do now?" Listen to this podcast episode, I hope - as Sophie gives her thoughts for her first time watching 1967's The Graduate, starring a very young looking Dustin Hoffman. As we go through the story beats of this cinematic classic, you'll also hear Paul constantly bringing up the fact that Mayor Larry Vaughn is the husband to the infamous Mrs. Robinson, how effective we think the Simon and Garfunkel songs are (or not?) and how we can relate to not getting service at a table...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

That particular role with shoes to fill is little Marcel, a 1 inch shell who we believe will capture our hearts - and you can listen in to find out if he did! As well as going through the story beats and the background of it's conception, we touch upon childhood mindsets for playtime, how this movie feels quite similar to an Aardman animation series - and can shells pro-create??  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

In our second episode of Spooky season '23, we head over to Japan for Sophie to experience the absurdity and delights that 1977's horror comedy Hausu (or House) from Nobuhiko Obayashi has to offer. There's proper researched background history on the movie to delve into, discussing of our favourite from the 7 girls, taking note of the noteable subtitle name translations, and of course Sophie's opinion on the whole venture!!  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Spooky season is upon us once again, and for our first outing we're heading out to Summerisle for Sophie to see what The Wicker Man is all about. Although she does have her own (amusing) ideas of what the movie entails... We also bring to the table our thoughts with the clash of religion and rituals, how the soundtrack really sets the tone of folk horror, and Sophie's gripes with the performance of Britt Ekland...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

We watched a Wes Anderson film, thanks to the Patreons who picked out of two choices that neither of us had seen before - and the winner was 2001's The Royal Tenenbaums.We've had our ups and downs with his filmography, but will this pip our respective top spots of this director's work?

It's time for another Birthday celebration, in honour of Paul's lovely female co-host and wife, Sophie! As usual, we are following tradition and reviewing three movies - one that neither of us have seen (Babylon), one that Paul hasn't seen (Enchanted), and one that both of us have seen (surprisingly, 8 Mile).

Hong Kong action stylings come your way in this episode, as we both watch our first Bruce Lee film for the first time, and noted as one of the all time greats in the genre - Enter The Dragon. But does it leave an impact on us, or more a light slap in the face? Other topics that get brought up in our discussion include Sophie's joy of playing Tekken, sneaking around in video games, and many MANY references to James Bond...  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

In the past we've covered Paul's favourite Marvel character in the movies, now it's finally time to discuss his favourite in the DC universe. It might not be the whole trilogy we're covering, but it's a phenomenal place to start with Christopher Nolan's 2008 epic; The Dark Knight! As well as talking about the film's themes, musical score and portrayal of the Joker, Sophie provides a couple anecdotes in relation to the movie, reveals her most hated character, and provides her own synopsis for the movie!

Sophie and Paul take a 'Chance' on this first time watch for the both of us, as we discuss the 1979 satirical comedy-drama Being There, starring Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine.It's another film from the Criterion collection, but does that hold it in good stead? Is there much gardening going on? And are the themes that film runs with just as prevalent today?

The shoe is on the other foot for the comedy movie Patreon picks in this episode, to which Sophie has some thoughts on... SuperBAD or SuperGOOD? Place you bets now! But like with The Heat review, there is hilarity to be found in this recording (not just from the content within the film??) as we compare it to other movies of the genre, we reveal Paul's desktop wallpaper he had as a youth, and the overall absurdness of the drinking age in the U.S.!  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

Wassan? It's a nautical themed episode for a movie that Sophie hasn't seen before, and it's the debut experimental drama from Mark Jenkin called Bait, set in a British coastal town in Cornwall and cited by Mark Kermode as 'a genuine modern masterpiece'. Knowing that Sophie has a keen interest in old style photography and appreciation for the art, I edge my bets with having her give her thoughts on this film, and therefore find out if Kermode's statement rings true! (Also, apparently there was a 2012 Australian shark movie that goes by the same name? - hence the brackets for the title)  ------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to follow us on social media in the links below, and let us know your thoughts and recommendations for the future!   instagram.com/sp_filmviewers twitter.com/SP_Filmviewers  letterboxd.com/SP_Filmviewers Rating and reviewing the show is a great help too!

We jumped on the hype train for the summer blockbuster event of recent years, and decided to watch Oppenheimer and Barbie at the cinema, in order to bring you our thoughts on both in the form of Barbenheimer! These two films are very different in tone, but can they both be enjoyed on their own merits?
