Tom Salinsky and John Dorney and from Best Pick podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Tom’s choice Matilda the Musical.
Matilda the Musical (2022) is a musical adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel based on the stage musical by Tim Minchin. It is directed by Matthew (Pride) Warchus and stars Alisha Weir as Matilda alongside Lashana Lynch as Miss Honey Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough as Mr and Mrs Wormwood and Emma Thompson as Miss Trunchbull.
Matilda the Musical follows the same story as the classic novel. Forever the disappointment of her family for not being born a boy, Matilda finds joy and escapism in reading. When it is discovered she has never been to school she is sent to Crunchem Hall. While at school she impresses the shy Miss Honey and irritates the angry and violent Miss Trunchbull with her precocious talents. Where it differs from the novel is the sub plot of an escapologist who falls in love with and marries an acrobat that is reoccurring.
Is Matilda the best musical film of the last 20 years? It is according to Tom! Helen was less convinced, the addition of the unnecessary acrobat plot takes away from the original magic of the book and makes it a two hour film. While recommendability was pretty high its two hour runtime meant lower repeat and engagement scores, to give an overall rating of 4.16.

Eliza Janssen (Midnight Screening podcast) and Tansy Gardam (Going Rogue Podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Eliza’s choice Final Destination.
Final Destination (2000) is the first film in the Final Destination horror franchise. It stars Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, and Tony Todd and is directed by James (Jet Li’s The One) Wong and written by Wong and Glen Morgan. After having a premonition of a mid air plane explosion Alex cheats death by being thrown off. Several of his classmates and his teacher all end up leaving as well. Death, intent on completing the plan, starts picking off the survivors in the order they were meant to die.
The Final Destination franchise is framed for its elaborate and red herring filled death sequences that are both wince inducing and comical. The deaths might be gory but the tone is never too serious.
The recommendability for Final Destination reflects the widely held opinion that while Final Destination is fun it isn’t the best in the franchise. With a runtime of 98 minutes scores for repeat and engagement were pretty solid to give an overall rating of 4.02.

Sarah McDowell (The SEO Mindset Podcast) and Natasha Willings (Limitless Learning education services) join Flixwatcher to review Sarah’s choice How to Blow Up a Pipeline.
How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022) is action-thriller inspired by the book of the same name by Andreas Malm that explores ideas on climate activism and sabotage to create change. The film is directed by Daniel (Cam - do check out our Fixwatcher episode on this!) Goldhaber and stars relatively unknown actors Ariela Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Jake Weary, and Irene Bedard.
The film version follows a fictional group of eight people who are brought together to blow up an oil pipeline at two key locations. Their motivations range from being directly affected by the actions of the oil company or to be climate activists. They all feel that non-disruptive action is not sufficient and are prepared to risk prison to carry out the plan.
Recommendability scores for How to Blow Up a Pipeline were pretty strong, everyone agreed it was an important subject and opened up interesting conversations on climate activism. Scores were lower for repeat viewing but due to its punchy runtime and fast moving narrative it scores a very respectable 3.51 overall.

Podcast producers Charles Commins and Vic Turnbull join Flixwatcher to review Charles’ choice The Final: Attack on Wembley.
The Final: Attack on Wembley (2024) is a Netflix documentary explores the anti-social behaviour and attempt made by 6000 football fans/hooligans to enter Wembley without a ticket to watch the Euro 2021 Finals.
The documentary is made up of news and mobile phone footage from the day and interviews. It is notable that there are no famous names interviewed and some of the choice of “fans” to interview are an embarrassment to football.
There is a distinctive lack of journalism in this documentary. Illegal and anti-social behaviour is given a platform and not challenged and very little insight is given from the other interviews. Very few questions are asked about the apparent lack of concern or real plans for dealing with the chaos inside and outside.
Recommendability scores for The Final: Attack on Wembley reflected the overall quality of the content and the lack of investigation by the filmmakers. If you’re an England football fan you’ll probably find it interesting. Low scores for repeat viewing give an overall rating of 2.93.

Chris and Sumit from Breaking Atoms podcast join Flixwatcher to review Chris’ choice They Cloned Tyrone.
They Cloned Tyrone (2023) is a science fiction action comedy mystery film directed by Juel (Creed II writer) Taylor in his directorial debut. It stars John Boyega as Fontaine/Tyrone, a local drug dealer, Jamie Foxx as Slick Charles a pimp and Teyonah Parris as Yo-Yo, one of Slick’s girls.
One evening Fontaine is doing business with Slick where he is shot and fatally killed by a rival dealer Isaac. The following day Slick is surprised to see Fontaine apparently alive and well, with no recognition of the previous day or shooting. Fontaine and Slick find Yo-Yo who confirms the shooting and the trio follow a vehicle to a house that reveals a secret lab where a very strange experiment is taking place.
They Cloned Tyrone brings a variety of genres together including sci-fi and blaxploitation and at times a Scooby Doo mystery. In trying to bring in so many genres it sometimes feels a little unfocused and many of its ideas are not fully fleshed out. However the three main leads are so enjoyable to watch playing off each other that it’s hard not to enjoy the adventure.
Recommendability scores for They Cloned Tyrone were pretty solid, but with a runtime of two hours it loses points for repeat viewing and engagement to score a respectable 3.47 overall.

Josh Hallam and Alice Oliver (Just Films & That podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Josh’s choice Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) is the third instalment of the Tom Holland Spider-Man Marvel/Sony franchise. Directed by Jon (Spider-Man: Homecoming) Watts, it sees Tom Holland reprising his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man alongside Zendaya's MJ, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and Jacob Batalon as Ned.
Directly following the events from Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter Parker's identity as Spider-Man has been revealed by Mysterio. In an effort to restore things back to normal, Peter visits Dr Stange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to cast a spell to make Spider-Man's identity a secret again. When the spell goes wrong, it opens up the multiverse and unleashes several entities connected to Peter into this universe.
Spider-Man NWH is the highest grossing Spider-Man film and saw Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprise their versions of Spider-Man alongside their respective villains. Some of which were included using previous footage rather than new footage.
Recommendability scores for Spider-Man NWH were high, with a runtime of two hours and 28 minutes though scores for repeat viewing were lower, to give an overall rating of 4.05.

William (Bill) DeMeritt (actor and writer) and James III (Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Bill's choice Spaceman.
Spaceman (2024) is a science fiction drama based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař and directed by Johan (Chernobyl) Renck. It stars Adam Sandler as Jakub Procházka, a Czech astronaut six months into a space mission to investigate a mysterious cloud of dust and particles, called Chopra. Carey Mulligan is Lenka, Jakub's pregnant wife. Isabella Rossellini co stars as Commissioner Tuma, Jakub's commanding officer with Paul Dano who voices Hanuš, an extraterrestrial spider.
Jakub is lonely and misses Lenka. Unbeknown to Jakub, Lenka has sent a message says she wants to leave him. The message is intercepted by Commissioner Tuma who rules that Jakub should not receive the message as it will worsen his mental health and compromise the mission. Days later a telepathic spider appears inside the spaceship and they discuss humanity.
Spaceman is a curious film, by casting Sandler and Mulligan it instantly asks you to suspend belief that Jakub is Czech, its easier to believe in a space spider than the implied quirkiness of Jakub's existence in space. Even less easier to believe is the central romance.
Recommendability scores for Spaceman were quite mediocre, despite there being a talking spider it is quite dull. Similar scores across the remaining categories give Spaceman an overall score of 3.69.

The Art of the Heist: Why "Logan Lucky" is a Must-Watch
Heist movies have been thrilling audiences for decades with their intricate plots, charismatic characters, and the undeniable rush from watching a well-crafted caper unfold. "Logan Lucky," directed by Steven Soderbergh, is an exceptional entry in this exciting genre. Here's why you should add it to your must-watch list.
A Fresh Take on Familiar Territory
At its core, "Logan Lucky" is about pulling off an impossible robbery. But rather than treading overused ground, it offers a fresh perspective by setting the action in the American South and infusing every scene with heart and humour. Channing Tatum leads as Jimmy Logan—a man determined to reverse his family's curse with one grand heist during a NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Star-Studded Performances That Charm
The film boasts both grounded and delightfully over-the-top performances—none more so than Daniel Craig's Joe Bang, an explosives expert who steals every scene he’s in. The trio makes for an unforgettable team, with Adam Driver playing Jimmy’s one-armed brother Clyde and Riley Keough as their sister Mellie.
The cast also includes cameos from actors known for beloved TV shows like Parks and Recreation, which adds another layer of enjoyment for fans who spot these familiar faces.
Laughs That Keep You Engaged
While some may expect “Logan Lucky” to be another high-stakes drama, it surprises viewers with genuine laughs throughout its runtime. Its Southern charm doesn't come across as cartoonish. Still, it endears you further to each character’s quirks—and let's not forget those comedic moments that land perfectly thanks to impeccable timing by the ensemble cast.
Rewatchability Factor Through the Roof
One key aspect where “Logan Lucky” shines is rewatchability; there’s always something new to notice upon subsequent viewings. Whether it's foreshadowing you missed or a line delivery that suddenly stands out—it keeps drawing you back for more fun discoveries.
Perfect For Any Screen Size
In today’s streaming-dominated world, not all films transition well from big screen to small screen, but “Logan Lucky” does so seamlessly. Without relying heavily on visual effects or expansive set pieces, it maintains its charm whether viewed on your home theatre or laptop screen.
Final Thoughts
“Logan Lucky” checks all the boxes when it comes to what makes a great film: engaging storylines full of twists and turns, memorable characters portrayed by talented actors, rewatch value through clever details, accessibility across viewing platforms, and loads of fun!
If you haven’t yet experienced this gem—or even if you have—consider planning your next movie night around “Logan Luck.” It promises entertainment galore!

Barney Boom and Laila Khan from Sonic Boom Six return to Flixwatcher to review Barney’s choice Creep.
Creep (2014) is a found footage horror film directed by Patrick Brice and based on a story by Brice and Mark Duplass, who both star.
Inspired by Brice’s experience on Craigslist, Brice plays Aaron, a struggling videographer who accepts a request from Josef (Duplass). The request is to join Josef in his remote cabin to film a video diary for his unborn son. Josef tells Aaron he has inoperable cancer and wants to leave a video legacy. As Josef exhibits increasingly bizarre behaviour Aaron begins to regret accepting the assignment.
Creep is 77 minutes of very strange and creepy behaviour, some of the scenes are deeply disturbing but also hilarious.
Recommendability scores for Creep were mixed, while Flixwatcher and guests loved it, due to it’s disturbing content it isn’t an easy one to widely recommend. A runtime of 77 minutes helped with engagement and repeat viewing scores to give an overall rating of 4.11.

Tommy James (Little White Lies, Zavvi) and Liam H Dempsey (Spocklight podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Tommy’s choice They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead.
They'll Love Me When I'm Dead (2018) is a documentary about the ill-fated final Orson Welles film The Other Side of the Wind.
The Other Side of the Wind (2018) was intended to be Welles’ comeback but he died before it was completed. Peter Bogdanovich, who also stars, ended up completing the project and it was released by Netflix in 2018.
They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead is the perfect companion piece to The Other Side of the Wind. Watching them in that order as well will give you a good context to go in with.
Recommendability scores for They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead were strong, as well as providing an insight into the making of The Other Side of the Wind you also get an insight into the life of Welles, the issues he faced and filmmaking in the 1970s. Slightly lower scores for repeat viewing give an overall rating of 3.41.

When his platoon is sent to a volatile area without protective gear during a home search for weapons.

’71 is a taut 99 minutes chase set over one night. The lines between the good and the bad guys is blurred, safe zones are scarce and it’s impossible to know who to trust.
Recommendability scores for ’71 were very high, with a runtime of 99 minutes it scored well for engagement as well to give an overall rating of 4.23.

John Dorney and Tom Salinsky from Best Pick podcast join Flixwatcher to review Tom’s choice Nyad.
Nyad (2023) is a biographical sports drama based on swimmer Diana Nyad’s life and her book Find a Way: The Inspiring Story of One Woman's Pursuit of a Lifelong Dream. It stars Annette Bening as Diana and Jodie Foster as Bonnie Stoll, Diana’s best friend and trainer. Rhys Ifans also stars as John Bartlett, the navigator of her support ship.
The film follows Diana as she attempts to complete the 110-mile nonstop swim from Cuba to Florida that has eluded her since 1978. In 2011, at the age of 60 Diana makes the first of many attempts to complete the journey.
Nyad follows a standard sports biopic template, except there are big questions about the validity of her completed swim. Not only is the main swim potentially not 100% accurate, some of the major moments in the Nyad completely fictional. There was no shark!
Recommendability scores for Nyad were firmly floating around the threes, not a bad film but also not an especially exciting or remarkable one. Everyone was in agreement that it is also a good film to watch while doing a task, so not particularly high on engagement, which gives an overall score of 2.70.

Rich Nelson and Catrin Lowe (Don’t You Want Me? podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Catrin’s choice Oasis: Supersonic.
Oasis: Supersonic (2016) is a documentary charting the almost overnight success of Oasis in the mid 1990s. Directed by Mat (Spike Island) Whitecross it stars the brothers Gallagher, Noel and Liam respectively as they reflect on their ascent to mega stardom and record breaking double gigs at Knebworth in 1996.
In classic documentary style we start with the Gallagher’s growing up in Manchester and hear from Peggy Gallagher. We follow their quick rise to fame and the release of Definitely Maybe and hear their tales of rock n roll debauchery.
Recommendability scores for Oasis: Supersonic were pretty high, its mix of 1990s nostalgia and the hilarious Gallagher’s make it an easy watch even for a casual Oasis fan. Strong scores across the other categories gives Oasis: Supersonic a solid overall rating of 3.99.

James III (Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] podcast) and William (Bill) DeMeritt (actor and writer) join Flixwatcher to review James’ choice Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) is the fifth instalment in the Jurassic Park film series. Directed by J. A. (The Impossible) Bayona, Fallen Kingdom sees Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, and Jeff Goldblum reprise their roles from the previous films. Dinosaurs are facing extinction (again) due to volcanic eruption on Isla Nublar. Dr. Ian Malcolm (Goldblum) testifies that the dinosaurs should be left to perish. However, John Hammond’s former partner Sir Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell) has other ideas and wants to clone the remaining dinosaurs under the guise of rescuing them. Cue Claire (Dallas Howard) recruiting former Velociraptor trainer Grady (Pratt) to help capture the last surviving Velociraptor.
As with all the Jurassic Park films, wherever there are dinosaurs, things never go to plan. Despite there being more dinosaurs and more action Fallen Kingdom fails to match or even come close to being as good as Jurassic Park.
Recommendability scores for Fallen Kingdom were not very high. Repeat viewing scores were helped a little by James having seen it five times at the cinema and slightly higher engagement scores give an overall rating of 3.34.

Paul Costello and Emma Kathryn from The Yearbook Committee Podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Paul’s choice Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Glass Onion (2022) is a standalone sequel to Knives Out written and directed by Rian (Brick) Johnson. Daniel Craig reprises his role as detective Benoit Blanc. This mystery sees Blanc joining a group of “Disruptors” on a private Greek island for a murder mystery weekend hosted by Miles Bron (Edward Norton), a Elon Musk type tech bro and founder of Alpha. His guests include model-turned-fashion designer Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), the governor of Connecticut Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn) and her assistant, video game streamer Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) and his girlfriend and co-founder of Alpha and Miles's ex-business partner Andi Brand (Janelle Monáe).
As with Knives Out, Glass Onion takes the classic murder mystery genre, throws in several red herrings and is full of fun and enjoyable performances from the ensemble cast. While not quite as intriguing and original as Knives Out, but still fun, Glass Onion still scores high on recommendability and engagement to score 4.23 overall
