2023-12-231h 56The Movie RobcastEp 194: WonkaIn this episode, Robs Daniel & Wallis sample the chocolate treats of Wonka. This latest film from the team behind Paddington should be the big film for Christmas (sorry Aquaman), and stars Timothée Chalamet as the titular chocolatier.

Although it turned out a shallow paddle was sufficient to discuss this shark sequel. But, are there any pleasures to be found in this follow-up, improbably helmed by Kill List and A Field in England director Ben Wheatley?

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...

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.

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...

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.

With No Time to Die finally released in cinemas, Robs Daniel & Wallis can let loose their opinions of Daniel Craig’s final 007 outing. Unsurprisingly, they have plenty to talk about. 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...

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.

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...

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.

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!

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…

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?

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
