After watching the film Shampoo we have learned one great lesson about the hairdressing business: all you have to do to be considered successful is sleep with all your clients and then they won’t notice that your only trick is waving a hairdryer vaguely in the direction of their heads. Shampoo claims to be a satire of American society and sexual po…

We get a backdoor George Miller connection this week with Dead Calm. Produced by Miller’s company, it is a film about a married couple trying to forget their child died by going on a boating trip in the Pacific and running into a creepy Billy Zane on a boat full of dead people. Nothing too suspicious here, then. Billy Zane on a boat…nope, doesn’t r…

George Miller is… unfathomable, we’re going with unfathomable. He builds his career making apocalyptic action mayhem with all the Mad Max films and then suddenly pivots to making kids films involving animals, be they pigs or penguins. Not content with the original, fairly conventional Babe, Miller steps in as director for the sequel Babe: Pig In Th…

We’re all armed with our barrel scrapers this time as we scoop Drop Dead Fred out of the cinematic cask, but we’re mildly surprised it’s not as far down there as we all had expected. Turns out it’s not just fresh dogshit smeared on new carpet and more like dried bogies smeared across your face (or, at least, so the majority decides)! We invite you …

Time to celebrate the weird and wonderful partnership of Italian action comedy stars Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer as we dive head-first and try to tackle to the ground Watch Out, We’re Mad, a film where two guys wreak havoc over local mobster because they blew up their dune buggy. Up for discussion this time round: hot dog guzzling, beer swigging,…

‘Curious’ is definitely the crucial word this week as we find ourselves puzzling over The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, not because of the people who made it (whom we mostly like) nor for it’s success and reputation, but because of the peculiar ponderances that the premise of the film alone elicits from our twisted imaginations. Could this film,…

We’re watching Locke this week. That is a decision that we have made. We do enjoy when we get to be all Welshy on the show, it doesn’t happen very often, and seeing as Locke is just 80 minutes of Tom Hardy talking in his best, highly-quotable Welsh accent, we take full advantage to do so. Hey, and who would have thought concrete pouring could be so…

From the director of Napoleon Dynamite Jared Hess, who one of us describes very aptly as Wes Anderson’s naughty younger brother, Gentlemen Broncos is a tale of adolescence, friendship and the grubbier side of the entertainment industry dealing with plagiarism, creative compromises, standing up for oneself… Ah who are we kidding! We came for the cam…

Time to tackle one of the most notoriously bad films ever made this week, a film so bad that no-one is willing to admit it was their choice for the podcast. Is there anything worthwhile to be found in Monkeybone, a film named after a euphemism for an out of control erection? Short Answer: yes. Long answer: …(sigh). So come and listen to our discuss…

One of us thought this week’s film was set in the 90’s (it’s set in the 60’s and 70’s), one of us thought it was Point Break (it’s not Point Break), one of us just wanted to see some Chris Tucker (yeah, he’s in it). One out of three ain’t bad, I guess. Dead Presidents caught us all a bit by surprise in some way. A portrayal of Black American disill…

The A-plot of The Chase is a weird romance happening during a car chase between a criminal and his hostage. The B-plot is a chaotically comical satire of the absurd world of television news starring various rock stars and porn actors. Guess which plot we liked best. We can’t help but keep taking weird side roads in our journey with The Chase and ta…

Not many films have the chutzpah to just change from a police procedural drama to a semi sci-fi tech thriller and then to a fully fledged time travel movie two thirds of the way in, but Deja Vu certainly does have the gumption to attempt it. It’s safe to say none of us at SFFCH were really expecting this from a Tony Scott movie and are left suitabl…

We’re not terribly familiar with Frank Sinatra’s acting career here at SFFCH despite him being in a surprising amount of films. We wanted to see if he could hold his own in something which wasn’t a musical or a cheeky-chappy comedy and we think we’ve found the least likely film from the 50s to star one of the most famous singers on the planet. The …

Robert Pattinson had a bit of a shaky start to his career with all that sparkly vampire nonsense, but we here at SFFCH have stuck with him over the years and you could even, maybe, sort of call us fans. Despite making some unique choices in roles, Damsel, a blackly comic Western, seemed like a particularly quirky film that caught our attention and …

Yeah, we get it, it’s about the film script called 7 Psychopaths, it’s not about 7 actual psychopaths. It’s about storytelling and the creative process and how we glorify violence and bad people in fiction, but we can’t help but feel a little cheated by the misleading title. To be fair, we only needed the 3 psychopaths anyways (well, 4 I guess, Tom…

Frank Capra is regarded as one of the best and most popular film directors of all time so we thought it might be worth our while to check out Arsenic and Old Lace, a black screwball comedy from 1944. As is seemingly always the case when we tackle a classic film or the work of legendary filmmaker here at SFFCH, we find the film a little divisive. Wh…

We descend into the world of LA-based bounty hunters this week as we plow through 1974’s blaxploitation film Truck Turner. It has everything you want from a classic blaxploitation: a ruggedly handsome protagonist, pimps and hoes, hit-men, bar fights, chases, intimidation and a funky soundtrack as well as plenty of stuff you didn’t need (but love an…

We missed our ride home and are stranded in Japan again this week, so we hunker down with our old friend, anime movies, to pass the time. This week, we become the bewildered passengers of the wild, adrenaline-fueled ride that is Redline, a high-octane, sci-fi, racing movie that contains some impressively drawn and chaotic animation, a thumping soun…

An obscure Japanese film that (roundabout-ly?) inspired one of the most popular horror video game franchises understandably has Jamie salivating this week on SFFCH. Indeed, everyone sees the potential that Sweet Home emanates and after watching it we truly think we have found something unique for a supernatural Japanese Horror film: boring-ness. Th…

It’s finally time to scrutinize and interrogate our first Vincent Price film and it’s one where he, as a 50-something year old man, is playing a real historical figure in his 20s. Movie magic, aye?! Fair play to him though, it’s a cracking performance. We all thought Witchfinder General was going to be a campy horror/thriller à la Hammer Horror mov…

Yes, we know it’s really dumb. Yes, we know it’s pretty ‘out there’ and yes, we know that none of this should really work, but the planets and stars have really aligned to make Wanted an incredibly entertaining experience that we all get a kick out of here at at SFFCH. So come and listen as we finally gel with director Timur Bekmambetov’s unique st…

Well, this aint our first submarine movie so we’ll dispense with the usual jokes about things being long and hard and full of seamen. Shame this movie doesn’t dispense with the poor humour. You don’t see Kelsey Grammer in movies much, do you? Not unless he’s hairy and blue anyways. Down Periscope is a movie we have all seen before here at Spoiler F…

We all know director Blake Edwards here at Spoiler Filled more for his crazy comedies, but he does have a few extra things tucked into his bag of tricks. Things like the neo-noir Experiment in Terror, a surprisingly effective thriller from 1962. (Yeah, we thought it was gonna be a horror movie too) This time around we discuss: how to better explain…

Some of us here at SFFCH LOVED this film when we only had small, not fully formed brains decades ago. Somewhere over the years, the memories faded and it was lost to obscurity. But this week, like a terrible repressed memory, this film claws it’s way back to the surface and we must deal with consequences it brings. Freddie as F.R.O.7 is a baffling …

This week we turn the big eye of SFFCH on The Small World of Sammy Lee, a British crime dramedy from 1963 about a cheeky chancer and his desperate attempts to raise a lot of money in a short time to not be beaten to a pulp. Will he succeed or succumb to his brutal fate? Come and find out in our discussion involving: being surprised at the productio…

We all love racing films, right? Especially how they are all so different and don’t rely on the exact same climax in every film, right? Sarcasm aside, we’re sure there are some really good racing films out there, but Days of Thunder ain’t one of them, by our reckoning at least. We mean, if you’re looking for a very toned down Top Gun rip-off with c…

A film hasn’t ticked as many SFFCH boxes as Lair of the White Worm has in a while. Big actors before they were famous, laughable dream sequences, a ridiculous villain, cheap special effects, unplaceable accents, a peculiar theme song and the seemingly inability to settle on a tone between: comedy or horror, serious or wacky, gothic or modern, dark …

Time to find out who among the Spoiler Filled Crew are true McConaugheads as we take a look at Mud, one of the films that kicked off The McConaissance. So come and listen to us McConalyze this Southern coming-of-age drama and find out: why we’re so McConaccepting about weird nicknames as Welsh people, who gets McConannoyed at the lack of anything h…

What shall we have from Japan this time; those crazy, weird and wonderful bunch? What about a beautiful anime? Or a chilling horror film? Or maybe a big, stupid monster movie? I know, what about a satirical drama about the caramel business?! So yeah, we’re going a little out of the box this time with Giants and Toys, a film about post-war Japanese …

We just remembered that Billy Bob Thornton exists and that he’s great at all this acting malarkey whilst also being a very peculiar human being. And he also writes and directs stuff too! So how could we not set our twitchy sights over One False Move from 1992 and see who is the first to flinch. It’s a tense thriller that was much praised at the tim…

It’s a right ol’ cult classic is Krull, aye! When you say 80’s Fantasy movie this is definitely one of the first ones to pop into your head. Is that because it’s so well made and entertaining? Is it because it’s iconic? Is it just because of nostalgia? Or is it one of those ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ movies? Well, we aim to discover the answers as we all h…

The perfect Christmas movie would definitely have a little bit of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, a touch of ‘A Christmas Carol’, a whole heap of unexplainable Crimbo ‘magic’, a smattering of ‘angelic figures’ and finished with a sweet layer of ‘lessons learned’. Throw in Nicolas Cage as a cherry on top and where could you go wrong…? The Family Man has al…

As Christmas slowly approaches, we here at Spoiler Filled think it’s important to remember what this holiday is truly about. It’s Jesus. In case you were wondering. We’re doing The Last Temptation of Christ. It’s funny because it’s clearly an inappropriate choice for either a Christmas film or a Jesus film. We’re a laugh riot like that, we are. So …

Before he helped Marvel take over the world as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr had been kicking around Hollywood for a long time. We wanted to go back and see a fresh faced RDJ before the super-stardom and his ‘wilderness years’ shall we say. What we found was Heart and Souls, a supernatural comedy about 4 ghosts from the 1950’s tethered to a boy in ord…

Yar-Har and fiddle-dee-dee me hearties. Welcome to (hopefully) the start of our next batch of 100 discussions here on Spoiler Filled. We kick off on our road to 500 with Treasure Island from 1990, which purports to be the most faithful movie adaptation of the 1883 novel. The question is: is being totally faithful to the book the best move for a mov…

It finally happened! We delved too greedily and too deep into the pits of moviedom that we ran out of them and awakened a foul beast: The Remake. So, from now on, be prepared for us to just simply re-do out entire catalogue, repeating the same old stuff whilst only adding superfluous nonsense that wasn’t needed the first time. If only we were doing…

Spooky Season rears it’s ugly, burned, maggot-filled, decapitated head once again and we here at SFFCH are ready to vanquish it the best way we know how: make a damned podcast. This time our sights are set on the Horror Anthology Movie, a classic staple of the genre, with the 70’s British film Asylum. Re-animated body parts wrapped in brown paper, …

He’ll never learn, that boy! What Jamie describes as a ‘morbid fascination’ the rest of us agree would be better classed as a fetish by now: watching video game movie adaptations! Once again, we swim in this bog of sewage hoping to one day find a nugget of gold and this time we have dredged up Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This week, we ask …

It’s time to not talk about Mel Gibson (unsuccessfully) this time on Spoiler Filled as we probe into M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, a film about grief and faith wrapped up in an alien invasion movie. Now, we know its cool to hate on Shyamalan, but this time we’re gonna be uncharacteristically nice and consider whether this is his best film or not. Thi…

A long, long time ago, at the birth of Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray, we all agreed that if we were ever to cover a Disney Animated film it was going to be The Black Cauldron. A movie based on a story based on Welsh mythology which allegedly almost bankrupted the now massive business juggernaut. Well, its been almost 400 episodes and we f…

How do you make some of our squeamish members of the podcast enjoy a gory 80’s horror sci-fi film? The answer: turn it into a wacky comedy half way through. We all came to Re-Animator for the delightfully campy and deranged performance of Jeffrey Combs who never fails to deliver, but we never expected his unique energy to be matched (and dare we sa…

Time to join the bandwagon pretty late again here on the podcast as we re-evaluate the career of Brendan Fraser (even though we don’t do too much of it) as we rediscover the under appreciated Airheads from 1994. We get: Adam Sandler probably at his least ‘Adam Sandler’, an unexpected and extended Die Hard parody, opening doors with tongues, a surpr…

Get ready for the quickest tangent towards erections we’ve ever had here on Spoiler Filled as we jump into bed with Light Sleeper, a Paul Schrader crime drama from 1992. This time there is: bemusement at the weird middle-class drug dealer lifestyles, wonderings about what superheroes would be putting in their diaries, discussions about the differen…

How do you adapt a novel to film where the story being told of the life of a man is constantly interrupted by meandering tangents and you barely get to his birth by the end of the story? Well, turns out you make a film where the film itself is being interrupted by meandering tangents of the people actually trying to make the film. A Cock and Bull S…

As if ‘body-swap’ films weren’t odd enough, we had to go and choose a Japanese one. But the truly odd thing is how grounded it is with its usually wacky premise. Not only that, but it may also have the most baffling movie title ever. Rich reveals his peculiar obsession with this niche genre of film and leads us through one of his favorites: I am Yo…
  continue reading
 
“The Brother From Another Planet”!? Well, with a title like that we’ve got this film all figured out before even watching it. Except, thing is, we really don’t. What we thought was going to be a cheesy, 80’s, blaxploitation, sci-fi schlockfest turns out to be something altogether different and…alien, you might say. It’s got: arcade-machine-fixing m…

Thousands of years ago, back in 1978, famous animator Ralph Bakshi attempted to tackle an adaptation of the most prolific and influential fantasy novel of all time. “It can’t be done” they all said, and they were right. Well, to an extent anyway, it certainly gives it a good go! We actually quite enjoyed most of Bakshi’s Lord Of The Rings, although…

Movies telling the story of the making of other movies have become very popular over recent years, but one of our favorites has to be Dolemite is My Name, staring Eddie Murphy (in a return to form performance) as Rudy Ray Moore, the creator of the Dolemite character and persona and the subsequently titles 70’s movie. We have a mixed history with mo…

Can you get a more swords and sorcery swords and sorcery film than The Sword and the Sorcerer? Not only does it involve a sword and a sorcerer, but its a three-tiered shooting sword and a monstrous mud-birthed demon sorcerer. Although saying that, they only really turn up at the start and the end. But don’t worry, the rest of the film is stuffed wi…

Ever wanted to run off into the night with Michelle Pfeiffer and/or Jeff Goldblum? Well now you can with…Into The Night, a comedy action thriller from 1985. But we should warn you, should you choose to take this absconsion, be prepared for: questionable slapstick Iranian portrayals, cameos from every movie director working in the 80’s, death by sha…
