TE 35; The Blues Brothers, Dissection

8/11/2017

Everybody needs somebody to....Watch the Blues Brothers with. It's a short statement but honestly if you have someone or not then the Blues Brothers is a film you should watch NOW!

To explain why Mark, Paul and James get around the Hangout that YouTube created and look back at this iconic film.

Don't worry we don't give a free pass on everything.

As always for our reviews we begin with a non-spoiler intro but from there on in things will get delved into in depth.

Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.

TE 34; Thor; Ragnarok, Review

3/11/2017

Thor is back and this time he's brought his work buddy James. Sorry by Thor I meant Mark.

The two cinema amigos have been to see Thor three times between the tow of them and will now delve into the God of Thunder to see if it really is as good/bad as Mark said in his review.

As always for our reviews we begin with a non-spoiler intro but from there on in things will get delved into in depth.

Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.

TE 32; Blade Runner 2049, Review

27/10/2017

Prequels, Sequels and all that Jazz have had a bit of a mixed reception of late. The concern of this episode is however what reception did the TE team give to the return of Deckard in Blade Runner 2049?

Alex and Mark are joined by our always welcome and special guest Jon (minus the jacket we all think he should buy) to cover all things Blade Runneresque.

As always for our reviews we begin with a non-spoiler intro but from there on in things will get delved into in depth.

TE 31; The Princess Bride, Dissection

18/10/2017

In this episode we right some rather outrageous wrongs as three quarters of the cast had not seen Rob Reiner's classic. Not only that but one of us does not know the infamous Inigo Montoya quote!!!!!!!

Anyway the world has been righted as Alex, Mark James and Paul talk about this classic from 1987 and dissect it from beginning to end so expect Spoilers from pretty early on.

Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.

TE 30; The Fifth Element, Dissection

12/10/2017

On this episode we jump into our Movie Time Machine to the wild year of 1997 to take a look at a Luc Besson classic in The Fifth Element.

A film close to Alex's heart was a must dissect for us mostly just to see how he would defend this most odd of movies.Paul is along for the ride this week.

Between them they manage to look at not only the films of Luc Besson but throw some random tangents in as well as some rather spiffing anecdotes.

Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.

Tangents Entertained Episode 26

15/9/2017

Spielberg's best of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s

When it comes to directors few have the recognition and reputation of Steven Spielberg. Due to his vast back catalogue we have split this director focus into multiple parts.

This first episode is taking into account his early work up to and including 1989. So without further ado it's time for a reasonable debate on the films we feel are the best in Spielberg's early portfolio or failing that let battle commence.

Tangents Entertained Episode 11

6/6/2017

When it comes to films with a lot riding on them not many can compare to Wonder Woman. Not only was dealing with the dubious nature of recent DCEU movie outings but it is also the first Superhero film directed by and starring a woman. These topics are discussed throughout the episode as well as our thoughts on the film itself.

In keeping with our spoiler avoidance policy the first five minutes will be our overall thoughts on the film before we issue a spoiler warning so feel free to listen till that point then come back when you see the film.

Tangents Entertained Episode 10

24/5/2017

In this episode Paul and Mark delve into their guilty pleasures to bring four films that although they enjoy may be ones to avoid.

We tried to make the films a little obscure but as this was our first attempt at this format we did avoid going truly horrendous (though you may disagree with this statement) in our choices.

So without further ado it's time for our Guilty Pleasure episode take 1.

The 2 Marks H & S join Paul for The Walking Dead Season 7 look back

With the finale of season fresh in our mind is fine to look back over season 7 and see the state of play that Lucille has left in her barbed wire wake.
