This week in a break from the norm we took a look at the Hayao Miyazaki animated film Howl's Moving Castle. At times this film is visually stunning but as with many of Miyazaki's films sometime a little hard to follow. The story in Howl's Moving Castle is based in an alternate reality filled with wizard, witches, turnip topped scare crows and talking fire. A great film for younger audiences which did fantastically well at the box office. listen on to hear what we thought of it. This film was a suggestion so thank you to Etsuko for suggesting the film.

This week we take a look at the hidden gem Wicked Little Letters. Based on the true story of a series of letters laced with profanities that were sent to various residents in the sea side town of Littlehampton in the 1920's. At the time the letters were seen as so serious that the then home secretary himself got involved. Rose Gooding was accused and convicted of sending the letters but was she the culprit? Were these letters a prelude to trolling that we all to often hear of today?!

This week we take a look at the ground breaking sequel Terminator 2. Directed by James Cameron this movie had effects that were for the time ground breaking and for a while set the standard of film special effects. We also chat about the 1977 epic A Bridge Too Far. Controversial at the time the film tells the story of the failed Allied offencive Market Garden. Due to poor planning lack of equipment and no communications operation Market Garden is seen as one of WWII most costly failures.

This week we took a look at the Jordon Peele movie Nope. A film of two halves the first half being dark (visually) and a little converluted and the second half far more pacy and action packed. Don't expect this film to have you on the edge of your seat but it's worth a watch and probably a second watch to catch the things you might have missed! Listen on to hear what the lads made of the film.

This week the lads took a look at two listener suggestions. The Remains of the Day (1993) which has a fantastic cast including Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Christopher Reeve, James Fox, Lena Heady to name but a few.

We also took a look back at the 1937 black and white classic Oh, Mr Porter! Starring the trio of Will Hay, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt whom at the time were massive stars itsa slap stick comedy at it best.

This week we take a look at the 2018 road trip movie Green Book. This film comes with a bit of controversy regarding the message it's trying to get across. For some its a feel good movie about the developing relationship between Dr Donald Shirley and Tony Lip as the travel across America attending concert dates. For others it was a missed chance to highlight the prejudices that were common in America during the 1960's. What did the lads make of the film? Listen on to find out.
