HALLOWEEN IS UPON US! Ben & Rob follow the sticky trail of 'The Switch', a “romantic comedy” from 2010 starring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Jeff Goldblum, Juliette Lewis and Patrick Wilson in their horrifically “heart warming” Halloween special.This film tells the tale of ill-advised life choices, pregnancies hijacked by toxic friend-zone fanatics and the enduring power of male writers to not realise they are creating the most disturbing horror of the century. But what makes 'The Switch' a unique addition to the romantic comedy genre? Does it offer a refreshing take on modern relationships and the idea of chosen families? OR is it in fact an incel wet-dream, non-consensual, forced-family frightfest made only more disgusting by everyone’s apparent blindness to the trauma?

Set in a dystopian future where the poor live on a polluted and scorched Earth while the ultra-rich live off-world on space station Elysium, he tries to cover themes of global inequality, immigration and healthcare whilst providing the guttural action and scifi splendour that have become his calling card.

Starring Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and Sean Bean, the film weaves a ridiculous tale of hidden treasures, cryptic clues, and historical secrets.

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. Starring Lizzy Caplan, Anthony Starr, Cleopatra Coleman and Woody Norman, ‘Cobweb’ tells the story of Peter, a young boy living with bizarre parents uniquely ill-equipped to help him with the monster living in his walls. Produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg under their ‘Point Grey’ brand, it starts out as a psychological horror and ends up a beautifully bloody creature feature.
