Mike Thomas and Jerome Cusson debated the 2017 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees in the form of a podcast. In 2018, we went with a written preview (which contained a frankly amazing HELLBOY gag). After devising a secret formula to rank this year’s nominees, we have come up with a definitive order for the Oscar films, ranked worst to best…
8. Green Book
This film is a racist piece of shit. Continue reading Ranking the 2019 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees
In our final trip into the world of The Matrix we test Mike’s capacity for putting concepts out into the world and summoning them into being (aka Big Idea Energy), and just generally agree a surprising amount, likely signalling the end of days. Fitting! Continue reading The Sky Scorchers – Episode 4: The Animatrix
In true Reel World tradition, Mike & Matt are here to trash a movie they enjoy for 30+ minutes. Why not turn it into a fun drinking game and do a shot every time they compliment The Matrix Revolutions? Good luck! Continue reading The Sky Scorchers – Episode 3: The Matrix Revolutions
Prepare yourselves for a rant 12 years in the making as Mike Thomas takes to his soap box to preach about The Matrix Reloaded… as well as Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean and just about anything else foolish enough not to duck for cover. Continue reading The Sky Scorchers – Episode 2: The Matrix Reloaded
It’s such a shame that it’s so difficult to find opinions about this film online.

We hope you enjoy Matt blabbering on and on and on about comic book characters he likes and Mike feeling depressed about the current and future state of superhero movies! Continue reading Big Spideas – Episode 5: ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse’

Mike Thomas & Matt Waters take another trip into the Spider-Verse to talk about the ill-advised Venom solo movie, with such hot takes as “it’s ehhhh” and “what a criminal misuse of Jenny Slate” and even a fun debate about the title of the podcast.

Between Season 2 and 3, the creators of LOST made an alternate reality game called “The Lost Experience”, which expanded the backstory of the DHARMA Initiative. It was designed to satiate the most die hard of fans who wanted more answers than the show could provide, and involved so many pieces it’s remarkable it even happened at all. Ben and Kevin discuss, if they feel it was a success, and what the ARG was and what the most important takeaways from it were.
From there, the duo discusses the last entrant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ant-Man and the Wasp! With the beloved Kate Austen in a titular role, it only felt right to do so. They discuss their thoughts on the movie, some LOST flashbacks they experienced, why it is other LOST actors haven’t achieved a similar level of success, and a story that of an obnoxious movie-goer. It goes without saying there are MCU spoilers in this one!
