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 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.

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 13

21/6/2017

On episode 13 Alex has finally become one of us and is now a regular host. To celebrate this not only does he get to take the lead on the episode but he also chose the subject matter namely The Expanse.

The SyFy (why would you name a TV channel this) production is an interesting watch and brings up some mixed opinions among the boys. So sit back and listen to their thoughts and as always we have a spoiler free 5 minutes at the start to give you our thoughts on whether to watch or not. So don't be worried about spoilers until we say.

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.
