Ben & Rob slingshot around the gargantuan gravity of ‘Interstellar’, Christopher Nolan’s 2014 sci-fi masterpiece starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, Matt Damon, Michael Caine and many more. With Earth uninhabitable, corn farmer Cooper and a team of scientists travel an interdimensional hole in spacetime to investigate three planets that could potentially provide sanctuary for the human race. Nolan’s love-letter to the 70s sci-fi classic ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, the relativistic physicist Kip Thorne and practical effects wizardry, ‘Interstellar’ might be the crown jewel in Christopher Nolan’s already glittering filmography. But is the emotion underpinning the action too much for Ben? Is Rob blinded by his fangirl fetishism of this director? And as fatherless sons, is it time for the boys to invest in bookcases?

Ben & Rob cover Lee Cronin’s 2023 movie ‘Evil Dead Rise’, slamming shut the book of the dead and bringing their Evil Dead series to a close.

Starring Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland, is this final chapter the fresh new spin on the franchise we’ve been waiting for? Or has the director delivered deader than Deadite dumbness? Is finding a Necronomicon in a sealed bank vault under your house the simplest route for a script? And is this actually the smartest Evil Dead film we’ve ever seen? CONSUUUME to find out!
