They tried to hide it from us but we found out about Wicked.

This episode we're talking about the first Omen, but not The First Omen.

This week we are talking about the two hottest creepy crawly flicks of 2024: The Beekeeper and Madame Web.

This week your friends BenTron 3.0 and Cambot 6000 take over the pod for some AI shenanigans.

It's your pals Cam and Ben with Episode 407 in a series of 1000 podchats about affairs of state and culture and such. This week we recorded the Monday after the election for fresh takes on the ascendant Albanese governme

This week we have some grievances to share. Plus a spoiler alert for Dr Strange and The Northman.

We discuss the election campaign and the film Ambulance (spoiler alert: both of them are careening out of control through the streets of LA). We have absolutely no proof that Michael Bay is not doing Dogme95 films on the

Is A Long Time In Politics. A day can happen in a year and a year can happen in a month.

This week Ben & Cam discuss (with spoilers) the films The Batman, Morbius and RRR. Cam is not impressed with The Batman's refusal to do even the most simple geolocation.
