‘Jurassic Park III’ retrospective

Oh dear, looks like we’re getting a ROAR deal with this one!

Well, we’re here. Much like a majority lead Conservative party government in the UK, no-one’s exactly sure how things managed to get to this stage, but here we are - casting our weary eyes back over the ‘tryer’ that is Joe Johnston’s ‘Jurassic Park III’. We’re all going to learn something over the course of this retrospective. We’ll learn about regret, about hubris and about the black joy that comes from lowering your ambitions and simply learning to love dinosaurs for the loud, angry monsters that they are.

So, strap yourself in to your ill advised paraglider, take no for an answer from the US embassy and get ready for your childhood to wilt onscreen in such a way that the Star Wars prequels will soon be looking like paragons of engaging and nuanced filmmaking!

Mad Men - ‘Person to person’ review

This is it!

After a long decade, we’re finally at the end of the journey for Dom Dapper and friends - and we here at WHINECAST have taken some time since the finale aired to re-watch this bad boy, take in some reviews, some interviews - and now we’re ready to dive in and dissect how Matthew Weiner and co decided to close out what has become a drama very dear to our hearts.

Will DD reach nirvana (or at least not existential misery)? Will Sal beat Bob Benson to be voted mayor of New York? Will Joan buy the world some coke? All the questions and many substantially more serious ones will be explored - as we chew the fat on the end of an era.

Mad Men - ‘Lost Horizon’ and ‘The Milk and Honey Route’

The end times are upon us!

Yes, after a final fling back with our old pals at Sterling Coop McCann Erikksun & Pryce, we’re down to the final three episodes of the entire show, so, before the finale airs on Sunday evening (in the US of course), join WHINECAST for an in-depth look at episodes 12 and 13 of this final season.

With Harry Crane marry The Computer? Will Duck get Pete to sabotage Judgement Day? Will Sal resurrect Dr Faye? All these questions - and many more - will be answered as we prepare for the end of all things!

Mad Men and Philosophy: Nothing Is As It Seems

'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' retrospective

We have to go back!!

Because an idea proven so wrong the first time doesn't mean its a bad idea right? And thats what the WHINECAST Boyz thought and so here is the commentary for a sequel a few years in the making. Returning along side us and the dinosaurs, is the man's man Ian Malcolm to help protect the very creatures that nearly killed him the first time.

Many sequels feel cheep or tramples on the first film and with 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' this could have easily happen. Does this film survive on its nostalgia, is there a solid plot or a better title, could a film had been made about the few weeks after the event of the first film or is it just a romp with dinosaurs that keeps us wanting more? These and many more are questions the Boyz might talk about but to be honest it was recorded awhile ago and i just can't remember!!

So this time there are no fences, a young daughter, a cast of great actors and a T-Rex on the streets of San Diego what more could you want?

BOOK!!!

Mad Men- ‘Time and Life’

It’s almost The End, but have they had the TIME of their LIVES?

Yep, we’re just a few short weeks away form the conclusion of Matty Weiner’s timewarp, and for once it actually feels like that - as the show takes a pretty sudden turn this week as we discover that Sterling Cooper will soon be no more, absorbed into Mccann-Ericsson like water into a spongelike advertising agency.

The times are indeed a-changin’ and suddenly our band of lovable alcoholics are going to have to make some real choices about their future - and these poor bastards don’t even know it will be a jetpack-less future. So, spark up a Lucky Strike and get ready for this collection of rogues to take a long hard look in the mirror!
