'X-Men: Apocalypse' review

Just how many disintegrations does it take to make an apocalypse?

That's the question we've ALL been asking, and the hour is upon us for WHINECAST to try and find an answer! It's been a decade (two years) since we last met up with the eponymous 'Ex-men' and in that time they've barely aged a day! But despite their faces being immune to the ravages of time, the real question is whether this band of vile freaks can deliver another outing as ball blastingly smashing as 'The Ex-men: The Days of the Future Have Now Passed'.


The signs appear promising. We've got our increasingly famous 'First Class' cast back to once again show off their Actings and Sexiness. We have the same creative team busting their chops (and presumably a move). We have universally adored charisma exuding Oscar Isaacs in the role of The Apocalypse - and finally, we have some sexy young teens here to do sexy things on a sexy scale.

What could possibly go wrong?

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - ‘The Family of Blood’

Do you like blood, Blud?

Of course you do - and that’s what you’ll get in this week’s Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast, the blood of dozens of young lads splattered across the English countryside - and what could be better than that? But that’s not all that’s in store for you, dear listeners. We have a series of deadly and easily destroyable scarecrow men, we have a whole range of acting choices and, most importantly, there’s the blood pumping through the, uh, heart of John Smith.


Yes, we’re afraid that after a really nice walk and half a date, John has fallen hard for the charms of Nurse Daisy Ridley and that’s going to prove somewhat problematic as he comes to the realisation that he’s actually space and time-faring swashbuckling mega-playa Doctor Who. Will John choose love or duty? Will he sacrifice his life and love for the greater cause? Will he hide in the wardrobe or under the bed?

So, join us, as we sit down to discuss what may well be one of the best stories of New Who to date!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - 'Human Nature'

Human nature - it's a funny old thing. Makes one man weep and makes another man sing. Wait, hang on. No, that's love, isn't it? Well, we're going to be getting more than our fair share of both of those this week as old Doctor Who has decided to go on his hollybobs and take a little time off from being dashing across all of space and time. He's gonna settle down for a bit in unspoiled early 20th Century England and do a spot of temp work, earn some cash and then scarper before World War One kicks off.


But that's not even all of what Doctor Who AKA Mr. John Smith will be experiencing. No, it's a return to the good old days of yore, when you had a gorgeous servant to bring you tea and to condescend, a gorgeous nurse to try and crack on with and a whole collection of lads that you can order to be beaten at a moment's notice.

So, get ready for John Smith and Maid Jones to go on tour, do a spot of role play and generally do as the Romans do!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast- '42'

42, eh?

It's the meaning of life, the universe and everything. It's the number of lines of Cracked Cocaine that @ChrisSykes108 does before work each day. Also, it's the number of minutes Doctor Who and his official, full time companion Doctor Martin Jones have before they crash into THE (no, A) sun!


But, would you believe it, 42 is also roughly the number of minutes of most episodes of revived Who! It's ALSO the title of a popular real-time format action-thriller television drama. Can all these things be JUST a coincidence? Can the universe truly be THAT random? IS there such a thing as fate? All these questions and several more are about to be answered - on this week's Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast!

'Captain America: Civil War' review

The battle lines are drawn! The Titans are about to clash! The greatest gladiator match of all time!


WHINECAST braved the midnight screenings last night to feast our eyes on Marvel's answer to Batman V Superman - but did it meet expectations? Would the Russo brothers be able to manage the gargantuan cast of characters presented to them? Would they be able to realistically take our superpals to a place where they would be trading blows? Would the Russo's earn their place as the new standard bearers of the Avengers franchise?

Join us, as we sit down to discuss all these issues and many, many, many, many more - 'cos it's about to go down!

The Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up - 'Avengers - Age of Ultron' commentary

Marvel's Avengers Assemble Ultron!


Yes they do, with disastrous/hilarious consequences. It's been a year since the release of Joss Whedon's sequel to the universally well regarded 'The Avengers' and so it's time to finally sit down with a proper, old fashioned commentary and discuss how we feel about 'Ultron' a year later.

Did the film deserve it's slightly lukewarm reaction? If so, can the blame be laid at Whedon's door? Or, are we dealing with a film that deserves a reappraisal, perhaps an under appreciated classic? Most importantly, just how old *is* Ultron, anyway? All these questions and many, many more will be addressed as we watch 'Marvel's Avengers Assemble 2: The Avengers Assemble Ultron'!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast- 'The Lazarus Experiment'

Ah, time and tide wait for no man...OR DO THEY?

That's the question we're chomping at the bit to answer on this week's Rewatch Podcast, as Doctor Who and Martin Jones decide to let Martin come home to finally change her clothes, only to be confronted with some old codger babbling on about changing what it means to be human - and old Doctor Who, he don't like that. In his eyes, unless you're being turned into a Pig Slave, he likes humans just the way they are.


So watch, listen and marvel as time's greatest meddler makes it his latest mission to crush the dreams of an old man who simply wants what Doctor Who so callously disregards - eternal youth and, uh, beauty.

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast- 'Evolution of the Daleks'

Aaaaaand we're back!

Yes, after what can only described as a significant break where we talked a lot about comics, we're finally ready to throw ourselves back into something a little bit more adult and serious - something involving Pig Slaves, Penis Faced Men and Black People being treated with equality.


As we talked about during part one, this two parter has long been the recipient of some...healthy criticism. But when all's said and done, when we take the whole story into account, when we mourn each and every last fallen Pig Slave, does this emerge as a Who story with hidden depth and quality, or is it comparable to a Pig Slave - something that makes a lot of noise, that slobbers uncontrollably and should ultimately be spurned and sent to live in a shanty town? There's only one way to find out and that's to stuff this podcast straight into your Sony Walk Man!

WHINECAST- 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' review

It’s the greatest gladiator match in history!

Yes, two legendary titans are facing off in a conflict of epic proportions - @billowl and @ChrisSykes108 are having a gentlemanly disagreement over Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and it’s a war of words the likes of which the world has never heard - and naturally it boils over into full on punches being thrown (entirely untrue).


Does Cavill get the sequel he deserves? Does Affleck own the cowl? Will Snyder fumble the ball, or will Marvel be looking at a legitimate new competitor? All these questions and many, many, many more will be answered or, like, addressed, as we get ready to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!

WHINECAST- 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' preview special

The Bat of Gotham! The Son of Krypton! The attempt to beat Marvel at their own game!

That’s right, Warner Bros. and DC are about to roll the dice big style as they attempt to kick start their own interconnected superhero cinematic universe, and despite the ridiculously high profile of DC’s finest, the film represents a big gamble for everyone involved - so WHINECAST is here to talk about the perils and pitfalls of Warner/DC’s grand play.


How much will the film acknowledge ‘Man of Steel’ due to its divided reception? Will Ben Affleck be able to successfully fill the cowl after the much adored Bale/Nolan interpretation? Will Zack Snyder respond to criticisms levelled against his last Superman entry, or stick to his considerable guns?

Join us - as we sit down and theorise about a film that’s got enough pressure on its shoulders to strain even the Man of Steel and The Dark Knight!
