TE 38; The Dark Knight, Disection

28/11/2017

 
What happens when you bring together one of the most beloved films of all time, two rational fans and one arsey git? Episode 38 of Tangents entertained. (Poor joke from Paul the Arsey one of the episode)

In truth though this is why we love films and TV shows that three people can sit in-front of the same piece and all take something different from the experience.

25/11/2017

 
On this episode the Cinema faction of the Tangents Entertained Crew Mark and James headed off to see DC's Justice League.

​With Mark a DC Comics and Movie fan and James a movie fan they are coming from slightly different backgrounds in terms of the DCU, so how will they find this big team up?

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.

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.

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.

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.
