LINK IN BIO! Ben & Rob kick off their brand new Neill Blomkamp series with his stunning 2009 directorial debut ‘District Nine’. A loose re-imagining of the apartheid system of South Africa through the lens of refugee aliens and the corrupt corporation assigned to manage their resettlement, ‘District Nine’ is a masterpiece of science fiction that pulls no punches in depicting the casual cruelty of oppression. Sharlto Copley, in his debut performance, perfectly balances comedy and tragedy as protagonist Wikus Van De Merwe, a mid-level bureaucrat who gets infected with alien DNA. But what sets this film apart from the white-saviour narratives that so often creep into stories of race? Is this Neill Blomkamp’s best film?

Ben & Rob climb the walls of ‘Cobweb’, a horror movie that distributor Lionsgate has done its best to bury under the pumpkin patch.
