Is this the one where Liam Neeson fights wolves?

Locke was overprasied? Thought it was brilliant

Thrilled that Olivia Colman is on the cusp of potential international stardom. She’s been amazing for years.

You Were Never Really Here should be up there. Quite comfortably one of 2018's best.

Buster Scruggs was initially planned as a TV series (albeit for Netflix) before they decided it was good enough for awards and repackaged it as a film

It’s a shame that the Coens ended up sacrificing their TV series for mere Best Adapted Screenplay and Costume nominations.

That does not bode well

This is this year’s Crash, even to the point of winning Best Picture, nailed on.

When he tries, Willis is really decent. Sadly he half-asses 90% of the films he’s in (and many of those he’s in are terrible anyway).

People need to realise that this guy has no actual beliefs and only exists to rile people up. If you ignore him, he’ll fuck off pretty sharpish. Publishing articles about the shite he talks only encourages him.

Actually I think the turtle is one of the many things that could have been edited out of IT

Got a kick out of seeing Spidey swing around London, though it is a bit odd that we’re getting another film that presumably won’t feature Manhattan at all.

Yes! Very excited for the cheeky goose game. Look at him go!

Yeah there are no risks for them at this point - they got people to see 2 Ant-Man movies - they might as well try to give some of the weirdest characters a go.

Say what you like about the X-Men film universe, it does accurately get across the batshit insanity that is comic book continuity.

I think the critical reception of Justice League finished Manimal off. His head exploded like in Scanners.

TDKR thrives on the big screen, definitely. It’s not a great film but some of its big set pieces really hit home in the theatre. It’s nowhere near as good watching it on TV.

Yeah the man knows his way around a script for sure. I think this is one of his best.

The fact that they managed to get people this interested in an Avengers film without being able to use Spider-Man or X-Men characters is pretty extraordinary.

Thanks to drawing my attention to both this episode and the podcast in general. Love hearing about creative processes in music.
