The Movie RobcastEp 194: WonkaIn this episode, Robs Daniel & Wallis sample the chocolate treats of Wonka.

The Movie RobcastEp 188: Big Shark (and Tommy Wiseau Q&A)In episode 188 Robs Daniel & Wallis are joined by regular guest Adrian Zak to deliver thoughts on Big Shark, the new film from visionary director Tommy Wiseau.

The Movie RobcastEp 185: Meg 2 - The TrenchIn ep 185, Robs Daniel & Wallis take a deep dive to see what they thought of Meg 2 - The Trench. Although it turned out a shallow paddle was sufficient to discuss this shark sequel.

The Movie RobcastEp 175: Super Mario Bros. Movie and Dungeons & DragonsAs with the previous episode, the title only tells half the story.

There is a reason the pair chose to look back, and they reveal why in the ep. Said classic is of course Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General, but you knew that. Notorious and heavily cut in its day, this tale of corruption and madness set against the backdrop of the English Civil War has been restored to pretty much what Reeves intended, and retains its power to disturb. The Robs discuss its brilliance, its talented, t...2023-02-1444 min

As in the Robs discuss the new film from Bill Nighy, director Oliver Hermanus, and writer and co-producer Ishiguro Kazuo. They look at why the film is such a great remake of Kurosawa Akira’s 1952 masterpiece Ikiru, and the ways in which shifting the story from Japan to England works so well.

The Movie RobcastBONUS: Neighbours - Final Episode Talk-alongOkay, this episode of the Robcast is an indulgence. The Robs grabbed themselves some fish and chips and a beer and settled down for the final episode of Neighbours. Neither had watched the show in years and years and years. So they decided to record themselves watching it and talking to see if it would be at all useable. The jury is still out on that, but what the hell, we’re publishing it anyway. Mainly because the audio of Mike and Jane’s scenes are so lovely. Calling it a bonus episode might be stretching it though. So...2022-08-0153 min

The Movie RobcastEp 149: Everything Everywhere All At OncePresumably in some other universe this episode of The Movie Robcast was released as intended before our Top Gun: Maverick instalment. This is not that universe. Although recorded before our Top Gun ep, editing on this one took longer than anticipated due to Rob D scouring London for a place to live (imminently). But, some things are worth the wait, and hopefully our thoughts on The Daniels' mind-frazzling movie is one of them. In a deep-dive discussion, the Robs pore over the wonderful filmmaking, philosophical talking points, and the legend that is Michelle Yeoh. Rob D talks q...2022-06-041h 01

The Movie RobcastEp 140: The Matrix Resurrections... Revisited!In episode 140, we go back... back to The Matrix. Why are we returning to a film that neither Rob was fond of, you ask? The reason is because regular contributor to the Robcast Sarah Johnson has keen insights into the movie from an LGBTQ+ perspective that we wanted to share. During a great discussion, Sarah recounts the punitive legislation made against the LGBTQ+ community in the UK during the 80s. 90s, and into the 2000s, and how defiance is a key theme to this latest Matrix. And as she notes, defiance can take surprising forms. Sarah also...2022-02-0233 min

The Movie RobcastEp 128: DuneEpisode 128 of The Movie Robcast whisks you away to the faraway world of Arrakis for our review of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune.

Well, he has certainly assembled an impressive cast, including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem and more.

From how this compares to Craig’s previous Bond movies and other films in the franchise generally, to the performances of series newcomers Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas and Rami Malek, to the possible influence of Wallace and Gromit on Bond 25, and much more. Surprises abound in No Time to Die so the Robs had to incl...2021-10-041h 38

Back in cinemas after a largely digital outing in 2020 for obvious reasons, the festival this year offers its typically vast range of movies (and TV series) from around the globe. Robs Daniel & Wallis discuss their picks from the galas and other strands of the festival. There are big hitters such as the opening film The Harder They Fall, starring Idris Elba, and the closing film, The Tragedy of Macbeth, directed by Joel Coen and starring Denzel Washington. Elsewhere we hear about Edgar Wright’s One...2021-09-211h 12

The Movie RobcastEp 125: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsEpisode 125 of The Movie Robcast takes a one-inch punch at Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. How does Marvel’s first Asian focussed feature hold up? How does this twenty-fifth film in the MCU pave the way for what comes next? And, what is next? All this is discussed, plus Rob Wallis allows Rob Daniel to indulge in his passion for classic Hong Kong action cinema, and the sheer awesomeness of Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh. Bruce Lee also crops up. So, settle back or form a ring if you’re listening in a gr...2021-09-1546 min

The Movie RobcastEp 121: Space Jam: A New LegacyEpisode 121 of The Movie Robcast sees our intrepid casters in pod stare into the deadlights of Space Jam: A New Legacy. A movie that seemingly exists only for Warner Brothers to remind everyone that not just Disney have beloved intellectual property. The Robs discuss their thoughts on this Slytherin of a movie, in which no previous Warner work of art is off limits. Not The Matrix. Not Casablanca. Not A Clockwork Orange. Not The Devils (a film Warner Brothers famously hate)…. You thought Ready Player One sat on a pile of dynamite when it came to remixing IP...2021-07-1933 min

The Robs also make room for Loki chat, and Rob Wallis looks ahead to all the Marvel arriving on the big screen and small over the next year. Rob D admits he finds this never-ending stream of Marvel daunting. But, not as daunting as what they will be reviewing in episode 121. You’ll have to listen in to discover what cinematic treat awaits them...2021-07-1450 min

The Movie RobcastEp 119: Unearth Directors Interview & In The Earth ReviewEpisode 119 of The Movie Robcast is a packed affair. To begin, Rob Daniel talks with directors John C. Lyons and Dorota Swies about their fantastic fracking horror film, Unearth. John and Dorota discuss how they made one of the year’s best chillers, what is was like working with horror icon Adrienne Barbeau and Marc (Riley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Blucas, reveal the films that inspired them, and much more. Rob Wallis arrives at 35.20 to deliver his verdict on another earthy horror, Ben Wheatley’s In the Earth. So, an episode of rich soil indeed… Unea...2021-06-2445 min

The Movie RobcastEp 117: A Quiet Place Part II & CruellaEpisode 117 of The Movie Robcast looks at two big releases, both of which are currently playing in cinemas! John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II was delayed from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, arriving over a year later? Worth the wait? Don’t shout at us if say you’ll have to listen to the episode. Cruella looked like Joker for kids from the trailers. So, is Disney’s latest villain origins story worth the price of a ticket? Does Emma Stone match the live action exuberance of Glenn Close in 1996’s 101 Dalmatians and 2000’s 102 Dalmatians...2021-06-0956 min

After our epic dissection of The Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter in our last episode, The Movie Robcast moves onto The Lecter Variations. Returning are Ian Bird and Sarah Johnson from the previous episode to chew over more Lecter, and, to really blend the metaphors, their insights are a feast for the ears! From the troublesome Hannibal (although not everyone on the pod is a hater of this controversial sequel to Lambs), to the pantomime of Red Dragon and the yawn o...2021-05-202h 30

The Movie RobcastEp 115: The Silence of the Lambs & Manhunter*SPOILER WARNING* This episode contains numerous spoilers about The Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter. It also references strong language featured in The Silence of the Lambs' dialogue. Episode 115 of The Movie Robcast conducts a full investigation into two classic movies, both of which celebrate anniversaries this year. Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs hits the big 3-0, while Michael Mann’s Manhunter reaches 35. Which makes 75% of the contributors to this episode feel rather creaky in the bones… Hungry to join the Robs in this discussion are splendid guests Ian Bird and Sarah Johnso...2021-05-132h 32

The Movie RobcastEp 112: Zack Snyder's Justice LeagueIn episode 112, Robs Daniel & Wallis are joined by frequent Robcast contributor Ian Bird to talk all things Justice League, the Snyder Cut. Mr. Bird is rather positive of this 4-hour version of the little-loved 2017 film, Rob D was not a fan, and Rob W is somewhere in the middle, looking for unity. The three also make time for a quick capsule take on the latest Marvel series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Does it look to be as must-watch as WandaVision? If you like what you hear or have any feedback, why not rate...2021-03-221h 28

The three discuss the new David Fincher film, Mank, which tells the story of Herman J. Mankiewicz, co-writer of Citizen Kane. Or the sole writer of Citizen Kane if you believe the tack taken in this new Netflix movie. Rob Wallis also gives his thoughts on The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. What does Rob make of Francis Ford Coppola’s re-edit of the not-much-loved The Godfather Pt. III? Listen on to find out, although be...2020-12-1341 min

The Movie RobcastEp 105: Jaws Revisited (feat. The Honeymoon Period)Episode 105 of The Movie Robcast is a case of “you’re gonna need a bigger boat”. Originally Elaine and Mark Gregersen of The Honeymoon Period podcast were meant to be guest speakers in our Jaws 45th anniversary episode. But it turns out having four guests on, all of whom know their Jaws onions, would put the episode at three hours plus or mean cutting out some Jawsome chat. So, we present Elaine and Mark on Jaws Revisited, a sequel to episode 105. And bucking the trend of Jaws sequels, this one is as good as the origina...2020-11-3050 min

Together they discuss what makes Steven Spielberg’s game changing movie a masterpiece. In an epic review, our cinematic seafarers discuss the legendarily difficult shoot, differences between book and film (needs less Mafia and adultery), the unusual casting, the score and why the shark is still working almost 50 year...2020-11-301h 58

The Movie RobcastEp 99: Mulan (2020) (and I'm Thinking of Ending Things)The Movie Robcast reaches episode 99! And in the final double digit episode before we boldly to get into three figures (*gasp*) Robs Daniel and Wallis cast an eye over Disney’s live action Mulan remake. The pair were really rather impressed with the 1998 animated version when reviewing it back on episode 87. So, what do they make of this $200m reimagining that has bypassed cinemas to premiere on Disney+? With a £19.99 price tag… Their chat dives deep into what’s hot and what’s not in the film, plus Hong Kong action movies, that 1998 original, plus the onlin...2020-09-0635 min

The Movie RobcastEp 98: Tenet (and The New Mutants)Episode 98 of The Movie Robcast is a bumper episode, taking a close look at Tenet and ending with a review of the long-delayed X-Men movie, The New Mutants. Excitingly, joining us for this ep is on demand movie manager Jasen Govinden to give his opinions on Christopher Nolan’s time-twisting head scratcher. We open with a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed on August 28th. Best known for Black Panther, Boseman left many impressive performances, most recently in Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods.

The Movie RobcastEp 97: Inception - 10th Anniversary SpecialIn episode 97 of The Movie Robcast, Robs Daniel & Wallis are joined by the dreamy Mr. Ian Bird for a 10th anniversary discussion of Christopher Nolan’s Inception. The three dive deep into Nolan’s dream world, discussing its roots in the heist movie, how it fits into Nolan’s filmography, what is good about it, what is *gasp* not so good about it, and why it endures a decade later. And it’s not just because of the “bwaaaahhhhs”… Rob D also has to apologise to h...2020-08-071h 52

The Movie RobcastEp 96: Greyhound & Palm Springs (feat. The Old Guard)Episode 96 of The Movie Robcast looks at two very different films, both of which bypassed cinemas due to Coronavirus to premiere on streaming services. Tom Hanks’ Greyhound tells the World War 2 tale of a captain having to steer a convoy of ships through U-boat infested waters in the North Atlantic. And, excitingly, friend of the podcast Adrian Zak cameos to give his opinion on this lean, impressive naval thriller which has docked on Apple TV+. Then onto Palm Springs, an imaginative spin on the Groundhog Day premise starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti and J.K. Si...2020-07-161h 22

The Movie RobcastEp 94: Da 5 BloodsEpisode 94 of The Movie Robcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis in the same vicinity for the first time in three months! They decided to meet in town on a sunny Sunday morning to do a social distanced podcast. Both rocking a Bane look with their face masks (and you can hear Rob D shifting his a few times, well it kept sliding down…) they tried not to get freaked out by how randomly noisy they found the great outdoors. Take a listen, you’ll hear what we mean. We swear it wasn’t like this before lockdown… After some dis...2020-06-2342 min

The Movie RobcastEp 90: Extraction & Gangs of LondonThe Movie Robcast reaches its 90th episode! And we’re marking the occasion with bang, looking at Chris Hemsworth’s explosive actioner Extraction and Gareth Evan’s brutal crime epic Gangs of London. The Robs find a particularly familiar whiff to Extraction. But, they take the opportunity to invoke the oeuvre of straight-to-rental favourite Scott Adkins when discussing how closely Chris Hemsworth’s movie sticks to action movie beats. They also take time to ponder the business savvy of titling a film “Avengement” as Adkins did. Tune in for why it makes more sense than you’d think. ...2020-04-2948 min

The Movie RobcastEp 84: The Invisible Man (2020)Episode 84 of The Movie Robcast casts an eye over the latest telling of The Invisible Man. From the Blumhouse stable and directed by Upgrade creator Leigh Whannell, it boasts Elisabeth Moss in the lead role as an abused woman who fears her ex may be closer than she realises. One of the Robs enjoyed this take on the classic, the other had more trouble seeing the good stuff. But, it makes for a lively discussion and they both agree this remake of a classic Universal monster is far superior to the 2017 redo of The Mummy. Rob Wallis also points out...2020-03-0526 min

The Movie RobcastEp 82: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)In episode 82 of The Movie Robcast, Robs Daniel and Wallis review Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn Suicide Squad spin-off. To do full justice to the movie, its comic origins and add an important female point-of-view on this female-led movie, Rob Daniel also sits down with friend of the podcast Sarah Johnson for her take. Sarah has a fantastic knowledge of all things Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn and movies, coupled with impeccable taste, so it was great to have her on! The wide-ranging discussion covers Harley Quinn in the comics...2020-02-141h 01

See more of Bridge's work here: www.bridgefazio.com Episode 79 sees Robs Daniel & Wallis at London's O2, reviewing both the ridiculous and the, not sublime, but well-crafted... The ridiculous is Guy Ritchie's dated, mean-spirited gangster fluff The Gentlemen, starring Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding and Michelle Dockery, all of whom should know better. Wanna see a film where cash-poor, land-rich aristos are the real victims? No, us neither, but we did so we...2020-01-0928 min

We enter the twenties as The Movie Robcast, with a gorgeous new image, courtesy of designer Bridge Fazio. Check out Bridge's work at http://www.bridgefazio.com/. And episode 77 is a biggy, in which Robs Daniel and Wallis run through their respective Top 10s of the 2010s. Not to spoil the surprises too much (although the movie quick-witted will be able to guess some entries from the tags), but amongst the fine choices is a war movie, a superhero film, the decade's best horror movie, the decade's best action movie, tear-jerkers...2020-01-041h 34

The Movie RobcastEp 76: Top 10 Films of 2019The Electric Shadows Podcast has rebranded! We're now The Movie RobCast, a more befitting title for a podcast about movies by two guys named Rob. It took us 76 episodes to reach that realisation... thanks for sticking with us. But, fear not. The same degree of movie passion, knowledge and penchant for tangents will be as present and correct as they were under the old banner. In this episode Robs Daniel and Wallis run through their Top 10s of 2019. There is some overlap, there is a microbudget BFI film that Rob Daniel *must* see and one of the Rob's no.1 movie...2019-12-301h 15

The Movie RobcastEp 75: Star Wars: The Rise of SkywalkerThe Electric Shadows Podcast reaches its three-quarters of a century mark! And in the 75th episode Robs Daniel and Wallis see just how strong the Force is with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The film has proven as divisive (almost) as The Last Jedi, and our two intrepid casters in pod have opinions on what it does well and where it stumbles. We don't want to spoil the discussion here too much, so we'll not go into specifics. Suffice to say, there is a spoiler section because the film packs in quite a few surprises. But, it's behind a...2019-12-2136 min

The Movie RobcastEp 74: Doctor Sleep and Joker Redux (feat. Prince Andrew)Episode 74 of The Electric Shadows Podcast picks up where episode 73 left off. Robs Daniel and Wallis found that Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's Doctor Sleep stayed with them, its themes and characters lingering in the mind. Someone of the same opinion is regular Electric Shadows Podcast contributor Mr Ian Bird, who also happened to be in town and was up for explaining why he was so impressed with the excellent chiller. We recorded this on Sunday 17th November, the day after the BBC's interview with Prince Andrew. That slow-motion car crash was such a fascinating insight into the power...2019-11-211h 24

The Movie RobcastEp 71: 2019 London Film Festival Top 10 ListEpisode 71 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is an epic review of the 2019 BFI London Film Festival. Over the course of two hours, Robs Daniel & Wallis run through their respective Top 10s of the festival. There is some crossover, but some shocks are in store as films make one Rob's list but not the other. They also make time to chat through notable films they saw that didn't make the Top 10 and, inevitably, there is the odd tangent or two. Also included are clips from press conferences and Q&As the Robs attended. The full Scorsese-De Niro-Pacino press conference will be...2019-10-182h 02

The Movie RobcastEp 65: Godzilla: King of the MonstersIn episode 65, we welcome a special guest to The Electric Shadows Podcast. Regular listeners will know that frequent ESP contributor Ian Bird knows his movies. What you may not be aware of is Ian’s 10-year-old son Ronan is also something of a film authority, particularly when it comes to monster flicks. This isn’t patronising flattery, listen to Ronan’s 12-minute discussion of Godzilla: King of the Monsters in this episode and you’ll know what we mean. His kaiju knowledge puts Robs Daniel & Wallis in the shade. To the extent where we have had to include a postscript correcti...2019-06-1554 min

The Movie RobcastEp 63: Addendum of the DeadEpisode 63 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is a bonus instalment capping off our Night of the Living Dead trilogy. Those three episodes looked at George A. Romero’s six Dead films, his other movies and the zombie explosion and totaled just under six hours of edited podcast time. But, that final episode just grazed the cranium rather than putting one in the brain, so our Living Dead series is still biting. Which is a flowery way of saying there is always something else to talk about. This episode came about after we had recorded those three Dead episodes. A Herculean ef...2019-06-0234 min

The Movie RobcastEp 56: Remembering Bill HicksIn episode 56 of The Electric Shadows Podcast we commemorate the 25th anniversary of Bill Hicks’ death. Rob Daniel and Ian Bird, who are both old enough to remember the shock at discovering the comedian had died of pancreatic cancer aged 32, discuss why Hicks has remained relevant and remembered a quarter of a century later. Their chat was recorded late one night in Manchester, so it all becomes quite drunken and gigglesome by the time they recall their favourite routines. But, there’s space before that to run through Hicks’ career, the impact his comedy has made on their lives, and broade...2019-02-252h 15

They umm and ahhh over that particular film they really don't like - we mean, seriously, how can Darkest Hour be up for Best Picture when it is not nominated in Best Director or Best Screenplay?
