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.

‘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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, we get it, it’s about the film script called 7 Psychopaths, it’s not about 7 actual psychopaths.

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.

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.

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.

We are finally coming back (again) to talk Sofia Coppola. She has actually created two (!) more films since we last talked. First, ON THE ROCKS, which features more of Bill Murray running from the police than we like. But, like, it also has Rashida Jones. So, basically all is forgiven. Except if you even think of cheating on Rashida, then you're de…

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?

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.

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!

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’.

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.

The question is: is being totally faithful to the book the best move for a mov…
