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 Logan, Patriots Day, Moonlight and Hidden Figures

Oscars, eh. There’s no way they’ll spanner that one up. Hey ho, Simon and Mat take a very brief look at Hollywood’s starriest night out, run though as disappointing lack of news as they discuss The Batman, Star Trek: Discovery, Bad Boys for life, and the as yet untitled Han Solo Anthology movie.

Four reviews for you this week as the boys look at Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg’s Boston Marathon bombing drama, Patriots Day; coming of age drama and Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight; inspiring historical race drama Hidden Figures; and superhero finale Logan with Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.

The one with XXX 3, Underworld 5, Split and La La Land

Yee and indeed Hah as Simon and Mat howl through a show chock full of stuff before the guest blues guitarist starts his set.

In a thoroughly packed hour we discuss the Oscar nominations and celebrate the cruelty of the Razzies. Then it’s off and away with four, yes four, movie reviews. Simon weighs in on XXX: The Return of Xander Cage and the pair discuss Kate Beckinsale’s fifth vampire sequel Underworld: Blood Wars. Mat tells us all about M. Night Shalayman’s Split with James McAvoy and Simon eulogises over La La Land.

We discuss what we’re planning to see next, discuss Euan McGregor vs Piers Morgan all over a couple of pints and a packet of pork scratchings.

We play out on some of the stylings of Kent DuChaine…. He’s awesome, check him out www.kentduchaine.com.
