Ben and Rob play ‘Funny Games’, Michael Haneke’s brutal shot-for-shot 2007 remake of his original home invasion masterpiece from ten years prior. Starring Naomi Watts, Michael Pitt, Tim Roth and Brady Corbet, ‘Funny Games’ is a hauntingly cold movie about not only the holiday from hell, but of horror movies and why we watch them.But why did director Michael Haneke choose to remake almost exactly the same film he released ten years prior? Why do our villains keep breaking the fourth wall? Why do we enjoy such horrific films? And how does this all relate to Oscar darling ‘The Brutalist?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Ben and Rob feel “DREDD”, the 2013 Pete Travis directed adaptation of 2000AD’s megastar character Judge Dredd, starring Karl Urban, Lena Headey and Olivia Thirlby. Written by Alex Garland (director of ‘Ex Machina’, ‘Civil War’, ‘Warfare’), ‘DREDD’ struggled to make back its budget, despite good reviews and praise for its accuracy to the source material. But why did ‘DREDD’ flop so hard at the box office? Was it the studio’s awful need for this to be ‘DREDD 3D’? The general public not knowing who the hell Judge Dredd is? Or was it due to a certain secret director having to save the project from Pete Travis, the credited leader of the adaptation?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Ben and Rob autopsy ‘Death Of A Unicorn’, A24’s latest horror comedy starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Richard E Grant and Will Poulter. ‘Death Of A Unicorn’ tells the tale of a father-daughter duo who hit a mythical beast with their car and somehow end up in a biotech conspiracy full of blood, mythology and not-so-subtle satire. Is this film a takedown of late-stage capitalism or just a weird flex from a studio that knows we’ll watch anything as long as the lighting is moody enough? Why do the unicorns change colour? Has ‘Death of a Unicorn’ given us the horn or has A24 finally missed the mark? Wait, this a true story!?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Ben and Rob wake up in ‘Dark City’, the dark sci-fi fantasy from Alex Proyas, director of ‘The Crow’. Released a year before ‘The Matrix’, ‘Dark City’ tells the story of John Murdock (Rufus Sewell), a man who has lost his memory in a city that never sees the sun where memory and time itself are the playthings of a race of alien beings known only as The Strangers. ‘Dark City’ was a critical success but a complete box-office bomb, with Alex Proyas ultimately blaming a studio that didn’t support the film correctly. But what on earth made ‘Dark City’ the cult classic sci-fi fantasy that film forgot, when it’s so nearly ‘The Matrix’? Why does the theatrical version spoil almost all of the movie in the opening seconds? Can Ben make peace with this plot!? And what’s Richard O Brien from Rocky Horror doing in here?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

When intergalactic creatures escape space jail, a small Kansas farmhouse must now deal with the critter menace with only alien futurecops to help them. Released in the wake of ‘Gremlins’ but written long before, ‘Critters’ made good at the box office and has become cult favourite horror comedy in the decades since it’s release.But underneath ‘Critters’ craziness, is there a darker undercurrent of communist paranoia? Or perhaps an even deeper foretelling of a future American crisis? Have we proved that ‘Critters’ tells the future?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Not content with making over five times its budget, ‘Conclave’ also won the Oscar Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards and received widespread critical acclaim for it’s cast and crew.But what on earth could have prompted Ben and Rob to reach for a drama this week of all weeks?

Ben and Rob wash up on ‘The Island Of Dr Moreau’, the 1996 commercial and critical flop starring Marlon Brando, Val Kilmer, David Thewlis, and Fairuza Balk. This film is an absolute fever dream involving cloning, body horror and nonsense plotting; only overshadowed by the drama happening behind the scenes. Marlon Brando improvised what lines he wasn’t fed via earpiece, Val Kilmer was a walking menace and the lead role was recast three times.So how does such a famous book get adapted into one of the messiest films of all time? How did the original director employ literal wizards to help him secure the film? Why did a crew member’s hand melt? And why is this film so entertaining to watch even today?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!
