The Fall of Skywalker IV: Fix It In Post
12 Jun· Going Rogue
Without the edit, there is no film. Without Marcia Lucas, there is no Star Wars.
Sideway’s video Why the Music of Rise of Skywalker Felt Misleading is absolutely fantastic - also give his video on Cats a watch too if you were raised Catsolic by a Cats loving mother and have a lot of thoughts about the musical crimes of that film which are hard to share in polite company.

The Fall of Skywalker III: TrIXie
19 May· Going Rogue
Star Wars Episode IX is often dismissed as a film made by committee, but with its constant on-set rewrites, loose improvisational style and hyperactive camera movement, it’s very much a J.J. Abrams film.
All hail the Oracle, my horrible beautiful boy.
We have a Patreon - if you like what we do, you can be part of it! There are bonus episodes too - I’m seeing Mando like right after this episode goes up so there’ll probably be a bonus on that by the time you read this.

The Fall of Skywalker II: The Mystery Box
3 May· Going Rogue
It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that any criticism of J.J. Abrams’ work must discuss the Mystery Box.
Check out Jon McCoy’s Episode IX Visual Sketchbook - it’s really fuckin cool! Also while you’re at it, Phil Saunders has also shared a heap of his work on the film with explanations of the process AND exact dates that really helped me piece together the timeline on this one.
We have a Patreon - if you like what we do, you can be part of it! There are bonus episodes too. I dunno how to promote stuff I don’t like ads either that’s why we don’t run any and instead rely on the generosity of our Patreon Subscribers!

Artemis Fowl
6 Oct 2025· Going Rogue
Artemis Fowl is many things: a character, a book, a best-selling children's series, a long resident of development hell and a massive investment in a potential franchise. But as a film, it basically doesn’t exist.

If you have any questions about this insane film please ask them! I will do my best to answer since I had to cut of lot of very minor details because they "sounded unhinged", "were visual nitpicks on an audio medium" and "made the episode longer than the movie".

Dredd
29 Jun 2025· Going Rogue
2012’s Dredd is a nexus of pop culture rumours, mysteries and intrigue: but are we asking the right question when we ask who actually directed it?
If you wish this episode had been about the 1995 film, it wasn't because Jason Jenkins already wrote a much better breakdown of that breakdown than I ever could.

21 Dec 2024· Going Rogue

Cinderella
8 Dec 2024· Going Rogue
In 1950, Cinderella saved Disney from destruction. In 2015, Cinderella went on a wild journey from swashbuckling adventure to a visually sumptuous but emotionally vacuous film that set the template for the Live Action Remakes that now threaten to swallow cinema whole.

Gladiator II
3 Nov 2024· Going Rogue

Megalopolis
29 Sep 2024· Going Rogue
Francis Ford Coppola is undeniably one of the greatest filmmakers who has ever lived. Megalopolis is the film he has been chasing for nearly 40 years. But when the posters declare “From The Man Who Brought You The Godfather and Apocalypse Now”, they should probably add “And Live Cinema and Tetro.”
CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses fictional depictions of sexual assault and sexual violence from 24: 35 to 27:15, and allegations of inappropriate on-set behaviour from 1:06:30 - 1:07:30

Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Cutgiver
12 Aug 2024· Going Rogue

Rebel Moon: Part One - A Compromise of Filmmaking
28 Jul 2024· Going Rogue
Zack Snyder first pitched the idea Seven Samurai in Space when he was in college. In 2012, he pitched it to Kathleen Kennedy as his way of “fixing” Star Wars. In 2023, Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire was released on Netflix.
This is the story of how one idea becomes ten hours worth of movie.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses suicide at 16:10. There is also discussion of fictional depictions of sexual assault and sexual violence at 6:55 - 7:04, 15:08 - 15:27, 28:58 - 29:06, 32:05 - 33:45, 37:25 - 38:23

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
5 May 2024· Going Rogue
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl has gotta be the only good film to come out of IP mining.
I cannot recommend Dan Golding’s video essay A Theory of Film Music enough, and also highly recommend his book Star Wars After Lucas (he also has a great talk on Nostalgia Piano, but I think that one might have just been a conference exclusive)

Robin Hood
24 Mar 2024· Going Rogue
Nottingham was a high concept spec script that reimagined the Robin Hood legend from the perspective of the Sheriff of Nottingham that asked whether we should follow the law, or our heroes. Robin Hood is a movie where Robin Hood does not rob from the rich or give to the poor, but his dad did write the Magna Carta.
This is the story of how Nottingham became Robin Hood.
