Ep54 Promo Admit One Movies podcast

Reviews of Ocean’s 8, Incredibles 2, Sicario 2 and How it Ends

After the unfortunate death of Mat, and a ridiculously long time away, Claire and Simon return to Swindon’s legendary Beehive pub for a look at the world of movies.

Reviews of Ocean’s 8 with THAT cast – Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway. Is it any good , well, er…. oh look just listen to it will you. Simon caught the Incredibles 2, Pixar’s finest film finally gets a sequel – only 14 years after the original. Is it good? Yes, of course it is.  Sicario 2 sees Benicio Del Toro get unleashed on the Mexican Drug Cartels by Josh Brolin‘s CIA enforcer. Shady dealing, high tension scenes and a cruel twist or two. Claire was given homework and dutifully watched Netflix exclusive film How it Ends starring Forrest Whittaker. How does it end? Badly, apparently.

All combined with jokes, opinions and Claire loses a pint and several peanuts.

The one with Deadpool 2, Solo and Happy!

Ep53 Image Happy, Deadpool 2 Solo Admit One Movies podcast

Reviews of Deadpool 2, Solo: A Star Wars Story and Happy!

Apologies Claire fans as she’s away this week so it falls on the classic duo of Simon and Mat to take a look at the news and perform some reviews.

This week we admire Harvey Weinstein’s chutzpah (no, not that), giggle over the puppet legal antics on The Happytime Murders, reviewed James Marsden’s career (which appears to have ended now he’s signed up to Sonic The Hedghog), questioned the need for TopGun 2, and admired just how manly Jeremy Renner actually is.

Reviews this week of foul-mouthed mercenary Deadpool’s second film with added Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz (and Rob Delany). We also look at the Han Solo origin film with mucho Chewie and Lando, but also added Paul Bettany, Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton and Emilia Clarke. Finally a look at the utterly bonkers and extremely violent cop/hitman/missing-father/small-pink-unicorn adventure series Happy! with Chris Meloni and the voice of Patton Oswalt.

Ep52_Website Anon, The Outsider, Le Redoubtable, Infinity War, Admit One Movies podcast

Admit One reviews Godard, Mon Amour (otherwise known as Le Redoubtable), The Outsider, Anon and Avengers:Infinity War.

Simon has seen Michel Hazanavicius‘ latest film, Le Redoubtable, an examination of the tempestuous relationship between Anne Wiazemsky and Jean-Luc Godard and Godard’s switch from making lively fluffy funny films to making lively political polemics.

Claire reviews The Outsider starring  Jared Leto as an American G.I. who owes his freedom to the Yakuza in post-WW2 Japan.

Simon reviews Netflix release Anon, the latest film from writer director Andrew Niccol. A futuristic retro-noir obsessed with personal technology and the blending of digital and actual reality, the film stars Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried tangled up in a murder plot.

Mat, meanwhile, has visited the actual cinema to see Avengers: Infinity War, the culmination of phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The one with Lost in Space, Tango One, Elle and The Alienist

Ep51_Website Image Admit One Movies podcast

Reviews of Lost in Space, Tango One, Elle and The Alienist.

Simon, Mat and Claire didn’t fancy watching Rampage, so it’s a Netflix streaming special as the team take a look over some of the wide range of material available on the streaming service.

Simon takes a look at the remake of the classic story Swiss Family Robinson, er, I mean Lost in Space – does the megabudget remake stand up as a family adventure series?

Claire has been casting her eyes of much praised Paul Verhoven film Elle, starring Isabelle Huppert, and how one strong woman deals with being raped.

Simon has gone to the other end of the quality spectrum and watched gangster’n’guns thrller Tango One, based on the book by Stephen Leather.

Finally all three take a look at The Alienist, the 1800s set serial killer mystery horror series starring Daniel Bruhl, Dakota Fanning and Wales’ finest, Luke Evans.

Plus news, abuse, and a look back at the life of Verne Troyer.

Admit One Movies podcast Episode 50 promo image

Reviews of Mute, Peter Rabbit, The Hurricane Heist and A Quiet Place

Mute, finally, gets reviewed, along with Peter RabbitThe Hurricane Heist and silent horror A Quiet Place.

Simon, Mat and Claire return to the Beehive pub, Swindon, Wiltshire for their 50th Episode of the Admit One Movies podcast. Recorded over two days, the show contains a look at Solo: A Star Wars story, a discussion of Netflix’s refusal to show anything at Cannes, a week after Cannes refused to show anything that Netflix submitted (sour grapes?).

Sony’s Peter Rabbit with a miscast James Corden as the voice of lead character gets reviewed, Simon and Claire finally get round to reviewing futuristic noir film Mute from Duncan Jones. Simon provides the shortest ever review of Rob “The Fast and the Furious” Cohen latest film, The Hurricane Heist with Maggie Grace. Finally Mat and Claire hold each other’s hands through innovative horror film A Quiet Place with Emily Blunt.

Thanks to Back of the Grid F1’s Tom, Chris & Stu, and Greg from The All Seeing Guys, both BritPodScene members, wishing us a happy birthday. These guys do really excellent podcasts and I urge you to check them out!!

The one with Ready Player One, Annihilation, Tomb Raider, but not Mute

Admit One Movies returns with a podcast episode stuffed with goodies.

Spielberg’s homage to Spielberg, Ready Player One, hits screens this Friday, but Simon’s already seen it at a preview and let’s you know if this meta-blockbuster is worth your ten quid.

Alicia Viklander takes up the impractical vest of Lara Croft from Angelina Jolie in the new Tomb Raider film. How does it fare against its predecessors, the long back story of the games, and current action adventure films. Once again Simon has braved the multiplex and reports back.

For those homebody’s about, both Simon and Claire have seen Alex Garland’s latest film Annihilation, starring Natalie Portman and Jennifer Jason Leigh and both agree that this should have been a cinema release. It isn’t, it’s on Netflix, but it is still a cracking sci fi horror that is smart, clever and meaningful.

We were going to also review Duncan Jones’ Mute, but time ran away from us, so that will appear in a later episode.

Mat hasn’t been to the cinema, but he has got some good news stories, James Corden’s Peter Rabbit gets some surprisingly venomous criticism from the threesome, none of whom have actually seen it, and there are the usual banter, jokes and insults.

Note: The pub was extremely busy on Wednesday night and we’ve tried to clean up the audio as much as possible, in some places I apologise if the background noise is too much.

The one with Red Sparrow, The Shape of Water and I, Tonya

Reviews of the surprising-in-all-sorts-of-ways Red Sparrow, the Best Picture winning The Shape of Water (doing it’s thing for amphibian romances) and the Oscar winning I,Tonya which is all about mental and physical abuse – and ice skating.

Admit One movies return with three new reviews and one new presenter as Claire joins the boys for a chat and a pint

Mat has a piece on the Oscars and there’s a discussion about the pointlessness of awards ceremonies in general.

The one with The Post, Black Panther and The Cloverfield Paradox

This week we review The Post, Black Panther and The Cloverfield Paradox.

Description

It’s Valentines night so let’s talk Marvel’s Black Panther over a candlelit pint.

Some news and a brief reminiscence at the career of the late John Mahoney before Simon and Mat rip into the reviews. The pair of them look at Steven Spielberg’s The Post, the Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks-starring journalist flick looking at the first great scandal of the Nixon presidency: The Pentagon Papers. Is it the film of the year, or just a Trump-baiting wannabe?

Then a look at The Cloverfield Paradox, a masterpiece of marketing or a film-shaped lump of bad news? With a cast that include David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris O’Dowd and Daniel Bruhl, surely such as surprise has to be good?

Finally Mat went and saw Marvel’s latest, Black Panther. Is it just another ho-hum superhero flick, or has something genuinely different appeared. How does the first overtly black (and African) superhero flick do? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out.

As ever jokes, pisstakes and Simon sings (again).
