The Tarantino Rewatch Project - ‘Reservoir Dogs’

Tarantino!

He’s an unknown indie director and we think that he’s one to watch. In fact, it turns out he’s got another film coming out next year - ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, so we thought now would be a great time to drum up some much needed publicity to this under-appreciated and virtually unrecognised auteur, with a look back over his directing career.

More importantly, we wanted to look at our own changing relationship to the chap, from bloodthirsty teenagers to defeated thirty-somethings, so we elected to radically shake things up by starting with his first film, the little-known ‘Reservoir Dogs’!

Stick these audiowaves in your Zune and get listening!

Doctor Who- 'Demons of the Punjab' review

Yaz!

The time has finally come for this young lady to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight - by going on a lovely visit to her Nan’s wedding and hoping she doesn’t summon some of those bloody Parademons.

Well, too bad - ‘cos that’s exactly what she does. Well, sort of. Look, there’s Yaz, there’s some demons and Our Jodie correctly identifies herself as quite the comedian, what more do you want?

Doctor Who- 'The Tsuranga Conundrum' review

Nifflers!

You get ‘em stuck in your Warp Pipes and they don’t half play havoc with your ship. People start detonating off into space. Robots start nicking drugs because they might have a problem. Chaps start giving birth out of their bottoms. So, showing the same universe-famous compassion that she displayed with the emergent Sheffield Spider race last week, the Doctor decides that the best way to deal with this is stick a lovely bomb in the lovely NIffler’s mouth - and see if it likes it.

Does it like it? Let’s find out!

Doctor Who - ‘Arachnids in the UK’ review

Spiders!

Some people love them. But, let’s be fair, most people do not love them and - in fact - are freaked the fuck out by them. Well, if that was their position before this episode then they’re probably not going to feel any more fondly towards them by the end of this week’s adventure.

But, most importantly, will folk have developed greater fondness towards Ryan, Graham and Yaz by the episode’s end? Are these characters popping like poppers at some sort of sex party, or are they laying there flaccid, like the aftermath of some kind of sex party?

There’s only one way to find out!

Doctor Who - ‘Rosa’ review

Ah, time travel - it’s not all fun and games! Our Jodie’s gang find that out for reals this week, as they travel to 1955 and discover that, contrary to Marty McFly’s experience, racism was kind of a pain in the bum down in Montgomery, Alabama.

So, join WHINE+SPACE as we wait to see whether Our Jodie’s gang can possibly sort things our for Our Rosa without being massively offensive and problematic!

Halloween (1978) commentary

HAPPY HALLoh there’s a strange man in the house.

It is the season of spooks and werewolf bah-mitzvahs, so WHINE+SPACE are celebrating in style, by going back to 1978 to take a look at the original ‘Halloween’ (the film, not the event), all in advance of our review of a film that many people are calling ‘Halloween 200’/‘Halloween H40’/‘Halloween 2018’.

So grab your pumpkin, pick up your carving knife and go and stab your naked sister - it’s on!

Doctor Who - ‘The Ghost Monument’ review

Aaaand she’s back!

Yep, it’s Our Jodie’s first proper trip out now that she’s remembered that she’s the character Doctor Who from the hit TV show ‘Doctor Who’ - and thus you can bet our eyes were glued to the screen and our bums were on the edge of our seats.

Will Ryan master ladders? Will Graham rock some shades in a manner that would make Capaldi envious? Will Yaz do a thing?

Find out the answer to all these questions and many more - as we review ‘The Ghost Monument’!

Doctor Who - ‘The Woman who fell to Earth’ review

She’s back!

Yes, after many long months away, young lad Capaldi has transformed his way into Our Jodie and crash landed in WHINE+SPACE’s home town of Sheffield - which naturally means our opinions on this new episode, new Doctor, new showrunner are somehow more valid than those of others! 

So, dear listeners, join us for an extremely valid, rather eclectic, some would say haphazard discussion of all things Jodie.

'Sharp Objects' finale review

Ah, Wind Gap. It’s got it all. The hogs. The woods. The rat poison. It’s such a damn triumph of a town, that WHINE+SPACE virtually don’t want to leave - but leave we must, as the delightfully enjoyable ‘Sharp Objects’ is sadly coming to a close.

What are the correct stereo settings to drown out some murderings? Is it difficult to cut words between your own shoulder blades? Was Marion alive all along?

Find out the definitive answer to all these questions - and many more - as we discuss ‘Sharp Objects’ finale - ‘Milk’

'Ant-Man and The Wasp' review

The scorching hot rays of the sun tried to burn us. The suffocating blanket of heat tried to bake us. But here we are, still standing. Well, sitting - sitting down to finally record our review of ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’, undeterred by the heatwave rolling across the UK, which has stymied our pathetic attempts to record on no less than two occasions.

But we’re here now - and we couldn’t be happier to have ants in our pants!
