WHINECAST - ‘Star Trek Beyond’ review

To infinity - and further!

We’re returning and we’re not the only ones, as it’s time to twist again with our good friends from the Enterprise, as they continue to boldly go into the wretched corners of space and trash their extremely expensive ship, big style.

‘Star Trek Beyond’ arrives with a much more muted level of hype than its predecessor, but is this a damning indication of the quality of the film, or something that will work in ‘Beyond’s favour? Will a change of director and new writing allow the rejuvenated franchise to move *ahem* beyond the criticisms that were levelled at ‘Into Darkness’? Or will it be a case of fixing something that wasn’t broken? Most importantly, where has Kirk hidden Alice Eve’s body?

WHINECAST - 'Ghostbusters' review

Does busting make us feel good?

That's the question we try to answer on this week's WHINECAST, as we review a film called 'The Ghostbusters', which arrives at cinemas surrounded by a complete absence of controversy.

In 'The Ghostbusters', a group of women (lol, i know rite) get together to bust some ghosts, with hopefully hilarious results. But are the results as hilarious as intended? More importantly, can the film ever step out of the shadow of another film that was released thirty years ago, which we gather had a similar premise.

There's only one way to find out - strap on your proton pack, your proton gloves, your proton document shredder and pray that you don't get one of those Women's Periods - because things are about to get spooktacular!

WHINECAST- ‘Now You See Me 2’ review

It’s the move event of the year!

lol, just kidding - it’s the movie event of the decade! Yes, three years after Mark ‘The Gruffalo’ Ruffalo took time out from his performance as the live action Gruffalo to truly play audiences like a damn fiddle, he returns with his Four Horsemen (*sigh*) in tow to once again bedazzle and befuddle us!

But can this truly inexplicable sequel reach the heady heights of the first film? Will the wonder of magic achieved through CGI ever cease to amaze and confound? Will we be inducted into The Eye and direct the course of society in an entirely unsupervised and undemocratic manner?

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - 'Utopia'

The Rewatch podcast is back - and this time we're going further than we've ever been before, the end of the universe, the very end of time itself.

Though there's a strange absence of Danny Pink or Maisie Williams hanging out, we won't be dwelling on that for too long, because the quarries be full of marauding hair metal rockers and it's deeply preferable for Tennant, Martha and Captain Jack Johnny Depp to take cover with the last vestiges of humanity and meet the man of the hour - Professor YOLO. But why does the Professor have a back story that sounds like cack? Why does he have a knackered watch that he sometimes tries to hypnotize himself with? Most importantly, is 'Utopia' the first instance of a 'three-parter' in New Who?

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - 'Blink'

Blinkin' 'ell! It's only time for us to discuss 'Blink'!

After a 'well deserved' (read: unjustified) break, the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast is BACK and it's with a look at an episode that, in the nine years since its airing, has become incredibly significant. It introduced the Weeping Angels, arguably the most distinctive villains to emerge from New Who. It acted as a jumping off point for the career of Carey Mulligan. But, most importantly, it introduced us to the Moffat world of Timey Wimey Time Travel narratives that have come to be a huge component of the show's storytelling under his tenure as showrunner.

In many ways, this is the episode that truly solidified the idea of the 'Moffat Story' of a series being a particularly special event - yet this may arguably have become a doubled edged sword, as many of the elements in 'Blink' that appeared so fresh and assured would go on to characterise much of the storytelling in subsequent years - and not always to the show's credit.

So, join us, as we dive deep into the housebreaking world of Sally 'The Sparrow' Sparrow - and once you're there you'll never leave, never leave, never leave, never leave, never leave...
