The one with Live By Night, Silence, and Manchester by the Sea

It’s a coming of age as AdmitOne turns 25 episodes young. The boys discuss some Han Solo spin off news, a look at the Golden Globes and a bizarre review of a film neither of them have seen, Collateral Beauty.

After a guilty restock of beer, we get down to it with Reviews of Affleck Senior’s gangster thriller Live By Night with Chris Cooper and Zoe Saldana; Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver bring Christianity to 16th century Japan in Martin Scorcese’s Silence, and Affleck Junior stars alongside Lucas Hedges and Michelle Williams in Manchester by the Sea.

If you think we were too hard on Collateral Beauty, erm check out this spoileriffic review: https://www.yahoo.com/tv/collateral-beauty-lets-try-to-make-sense-of-that-crazy-ending-spoilers-225517694.html

I mean, seriously, WTF does Collateral Beauty even mean?

The one with Sully, Moana and Allied

Twas the week before Christmas … and Simon and Mat are back in the pub doing what they do moderately well with a bumper edition of Admit One Movies packed with comment and attitude.

In this episode the boys raise glass to Kirk Douglas not being dead, discuss the Golden Globe nominations, moan about the long-running Passengers trailer and the short running Silence trailer, love Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 trailer, discuss The Mummy trailer and the wider Universal Monsters franchise, puzzle over Baywatch, puzzle further over The Fate of the Furious and further still over XXX: The return of Xander Cage and the phenomenon of trailers for trailers while considering Spiderman: Homecoming.

Reviews of Sully, Moana and Allied round out a very full show.
