For the next part of our Batman retrospective we take a look at four of the better Batman Animated movies and chart the changes along the way: Mask of the Phantasm, Subzero, World’s Finest and The Return of the Joker.

Time to take a peek at the Buton-Schumacher years of the Batman franchise.  Steven “I am Batman” Hurst and Ben “I don’t even remotely look anything like Chris O’Donnell” Pegley team up for this one… And Catwoman tries to purr her way into our favour.

We begin our look at where the Dark Knight started to rise on the big screen back in the 60’s. Dani Singer returns to the podcast, sadly not forever, to put in her defence for both Batman and Robin; whilst main host Steven Hurst wonders why we should bother with this one at all.

This week we take a look back at two period set baseball movies. Steven Hurst recruits Filmwerk reviewer Marko Hyypia for the task.

We continue our look back on the Comic Book Movies with a look at the Fantastic Four movies from the 2000’s.

Ben Pegley joins regular host Steven Hurst for this new round up.

Steven Hurst and co-host Chris Droney have trouble with this duo – and have to call in help from Ben Pegley. But is his opinion any brighter?

On our second half of the FrightFest review we look at the films on the main screen.

It’s time to review FrightFest 2013. We take a look at the discovery screen movies, short films and other added extras in this first reaction podcast.

We skip to the end of the festival now and with a croaky voice we catch up with our guests John Higgins, Fanny Harlow and Paul While to get their reactions. We also wrap up out interviews with Ian Rattray on scheduling the festival, and also with Greg Day and Paul Smith to talk to […]

For Day 2 of the festival we interview Bernadette Box who we commissioned to do some special “horror biscuits,” Nick Gibbs-McNeil also talk about his role with the festival, and the delightful Graham Humphreys talks us through his poster designs!  

Day one has come and gone. On this second podcast we go behind the scenes with lead crew member and coordinator Katherine O’Shea, Video crew member Mags Linster – and we quiz three unsuspecting attendees about their expectations for the festival!

In this first of a series of special FrightFest podcasts this weekend, host Steven Hurst talks to two of the organizers about their background with the festival. First up Greg Day is dragged into the limelight to tell all about his history with the festival as well as shedding light on the PR angle of […]

Steven and Ben look at both film adaptations of Judge Dredd. Is the 1995 film as bad as they all say? And is the new one not only under-appreciated, but perhaps maybe even better than that other “trapped in a tower block” action film from the same year?

Rightly smug that we got through 100 of these, we decide to annoy everyone by not talking about any news or reviews at all as host and chief whip Steven Hurst instead probes all of his many co-hosts he has invited onto the podcast since show 1 to ask them general questions about film itself […]

Steven and Chris launch, what is probably going to go on forever, our look back at every comic book movie we can get our mitts on! We begin with a trip back to the 90s with these three period set movies. John Johnston’s The Rocketeer, Russell Mulcahy’s The Shadow and Simon Wincer’s The Phantom.

After several failed attempts at reviewing Killer Joe, we decided to do a double bill for this podcast looking at the William Friedkin/Tracy Letts films Bug and Killer Joe. Steven Hurst and Dani Singer mull them over.
