In Episode 77, we discuss recent horror film "Hereditary" (which has made quite the splash).
Critics are raving about it (with it currently sitting at 90%) - yet audiences have slapped a D+ rating...
So... Who is right?
Is it frightening or just plain frightful?

It's episode 71 and seriously, stop eating that popcorn... We've just watched "A Quiet Place" and what an experience.
We discuss the brand new horror film that is taking the world by storm.

In Episode 12, our special Star Wars Prequels series consisting of in-depth past reviews concludes with the final part of the Prequel Trilogy "Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" from 2005.
We talk about how this movie is hugely misunderstood; why the lightsaber battles are so amazing; brotherhood and the loss of friends to the Dark Side; West Wing; and try with all of our might not to get emotional about Order 66. Also, for some insane reason Rochard actively wants to give you $100. Seriously!
