Every Movie EVER!

Ben and Rob unleash the chaos of ‘Psycho Goreman’, the cult cosmic comedy from director Steven Kostanski that blends Saturday morning cartoon energy with head-splitting intergalactic violence. Starring Nita Josee Hanna, Owen Myre, Matthew Ninaber, Adam Brooks, Alexis Kara Hancey and a whole army of rubber-suited nightmares, Psycho Goreman tells the story of two kids who accidentally awaken an ancient alien warlord and promptly make him their best friend. Where did Psycho Goreman come from? What makes this such a rare movie universe; how does a film this bizarre feel so strangely coherent; and how many blink and you will miss them references did Steven Kostanski hide in plain sight?

Ben and Rob dive deep into Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World, directed by Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, and, of course, Russell Crowe (with even more Russell Crowe to come). They unpack why this film grabbed them so powerfully on first watch, why politics usually stay off the table for them, the incredible making-of craft behind the production, and the bizarre yet undeniable parallels between this tightly focused nautical adventure and today’s sprawling mega-franchises. Why does this film hit so hard right from the start? How does such a contained story feel oddly aligned with modern blockbuster logic? What did the behind-the-scenes dedication achieve? And honestly… what does it all mean?! CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more! PLUS!

Ben and Rob enter The Void (2016), the cosmic horror fever dream from director Steven Kostanski and the Astron 6 collective. We talk about who Steven Kostanski really is, how he went from practical effects legend to full blown cult horror auteur, and why The Void became one of the most impressive low budget horror triumphs of the 2010s. We break down how grief and trauma bond every character in The Void, how the film uses loss as its emotional architecture, and why the personal suffering at the centre of this story makes the cosmic elements even more terrifying. Is it a metaphor for grief consuming us? A commentary on the cycle of generational harm? Or is Steven Kostanski simply telling us that the universe does not care, so we have to care for each other?

This week, Ben and Rob step into the perfectly staged world of The Truman Show (1998), Peter Weir’s masterful satire starring Jim Carrey at his nuanced best. From the meticulously constructed Seahaven to the hidden puppeteering of Truman’s life, this film gets the lads asking one big question: how much attention is the right amount for you? The lads explore how Peter Weir, yet again, finds greatness in the people around him - from cast to crew - and drop some behind-the-scenes gems that will make you appreciate every frame. Meanwhile, Andrew Niccol’s script continues to astonish with its prescience and control over the surreal comedy-drama. They also dive into the bizarre cultural resonance, from Lady Diana parallels to the Truman Delusion, and deliver possibly the best ‘what does it all mean’ of the show yet. PLUS!

This week, Ben and Rob dive headfirst into the radioactive rubble of Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla (1998); the overblown, rain-soaked, fish-filled blockbuster that nearly killed the King of the Monsters. Starring Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, Maria Pitillo, and Hank Azaria, this was Hollywood’s first crack at bringing ‘Godzilla’ to the West… and oh boy, did it go through development hell. We talk storylines that make no sense, studio interference that redefined excess, and the moment Toho themselves declared this version of Godzilla “not actually Godzilla.” But is it really as bad as legend claims? Could this misunderstood monster movie actually be thebestGodzilla ever made? PLUS! We have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at just ONE POUND a month - click the link below!

This week, Ben and Rob stand on their desks (metaphorically) to take on Dead Poets Society (1989), Peter Weir’s quietly devastating classic starring Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Josh Charles. It’s the story of young men learning to think for themselves and one teacher’s battle to keep their dreams alive in a world built to crush them. But as always, the lads don’t quite see eye to eye. Is Dead Poets Society a masterpiece of inspiration or a manipulative tragedy wrapped in nostalgia? Why did the first attempt this movie go up in very literal flames? Why is Peter Weir, one of Hollywood’s least famous great directors, not a household name? And, of course… what does it all mean? PLUS!

This week, Ben and Rob get stuck on Groundhog Day (1993), Harold Ramis’s timeless classic starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliott. What started as a quirky rom-com has become one of the most beloved and philosophically rich films ever made; the blueprint for every time-loop story that followed. How did Groundhog Day even come to be? Why are time-loop movies so endlessly satisfying? Just how long was Phil Connors actually stuck reliving the same day ten years or a thousand? And underneath all the laughs, is Groundhog Day secretly a deeply spiritual movie about enlightenment, karma, and the human condition? PLUS!

This week, Ben and Rob get Caught Stealing (2025), Darren Aronofsky’s crime thriller comedy that feels like a lost ’90s gem dusted off for the modern screen. Starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Matt Smith, Caught Stealing reintroduces us to exaggerated neon-light New York, hustle, danger, and characters who carry regret like a heavy coat. Why does Caught Stealing feel like the director’s first great film in ages? Is Austin Butler the best new actor working in Hollywood right now? How does Caught Stealing recreate what audiences have forgotten about the ’90s? We also get into Darren Aronofsky’s “curse of could-have-been”: can a movie be both flashy and deeply melancholic, both thrilling and haunted by its characters’ pasts? And when all is said and done, why has this somewhat broken our hosts? PLUS! We have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at just ONE POUND a month - click the link below!

This week, Ben and Rob slither into Anaconda (1997), the gloriously over-the-top creature feature starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, and Owen Wilson. What should’ve been a throwaway B-movie about a giant snake somehow became one of the most iconic (and endlessly rewatchable) jungle horrors of the ’90s. Why does Anaconda work so well as a B-movie? Was the legendary animatronic snake actually more convincing than its CGI counterpart? Which big-name stars almost joined the cast—and would it have changed anything if they had? And here’s the real question: is Anaconda secretly a commentary on authoritarian religious belief? Or are we just staring too long into Jon Voight’s cursed smirk? The lads wrestle with meaning, nostalgia, and cold-blooded chaos in this deep dive into one of cinema’s most unexpectedly enduring creature features.

This week, Ben and Rob sink their teeth into Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson’s razor-sharp murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. A modern riff on Agatha Christie, Knives Out blends old-school detective tropes with wickedly funny satire and a cast firing on all cylinders. But who is Rian Johnson, really? Why was Knives Out written in the first place? How does the film prove Johnson is a master liar, using misdirection to keep audiences guessing until the very last moment? And how did the fallout from Star Wars: The Last Jedi shape the way he wrote this murder mystery in the first place? Most importantly; what does Knives Out really mean beneath the laughs, the sweaters, and Benoit Blanc’s legendary accent? The lads dive into Johnson’s layered storytelling, the legacy of the whodunnit genre, and why this film became one of the most beloved mysteries of the century. PLUS!

This week, Ben and Rob slam right into The Fanatic (2019), the bizarre thriller directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and starring John Travolta and Devon Sawa. It’s a fever dream of celebrity obsession, questionable choices, and Nu-Metal energy that has us all asking: why was this film even made? What on earth were Travolta and Sawa thinking? Is The Fanatic based on a true story, or just Fred Durst’s wild imagination? And the real kicker—is it good, bad, or that sweet spot of so-bad-it’s-good? Maybe it even succeeds on its own bonkers B-movie terms. The lads dig into why this film is amazing (yes, amazing), what it really means beneath the awkward line deliveries and Limp Bizkit Easter eggs, and whether The Fanatic is destined to become the next funnybad cult classic for nu-metal survivors everywhere.

This week, Ben and Rob chew their way through Troll 2 (1990), the infamous “worst movie of all time” that somehow became one of the great cult classics. Directed by Claudio Fragasso and billed as Italian horror, Troll 2 is a feast of wooden acting, baffling dialogue, and vegetarian goblins that has been confusing and delighting audiences for decades. Why is this film actually like this? What strange alchemy turned incompetence into schadenfreude gold? How do our own shameful pasts inform how we should watch Nilbog’s cursed townsfolk? And could there be (hidden beneath the green slime and bizarre choices) a secret lesson about regret and the human condition? CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more! PLUS!

Ben and Rob dive into The Toxic Avenger (1984), the gloriously trashy horror-comedy that turned an ordinary nerdy janitor into a mop-wielding mutant hero. Created by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, The Toxic Avenger is the ultimate mix of DIY guts, anarchic satire, and midnight-movie magic; the kind of cult classic that’s still shocking and oddly sweet nearly four decades later. Trace the Toxic Avenger’s wild journey from VHS obscurity to pop-culture demon with us, through action figures, cartoons, comic books, and midnight screenings. How has The Toxic Avenger aged in 2025—does it still hit like a body-slam of absurdity, or feel like a dangerously dated dated relic? What does Lloyd Kaufman think when he looks back at Toxie today—and how does he celebrate its enduring weirdness? CONSUUUME to find out all this and much much more! PLUS!

Ben and Rob board the Event Horizon this week, diving into Paul W.S. Anderson’s genre-bending science fiction horror that flopped hard at the box office; only to rise like a cosmic demon into cult classic territory. Featuring powerhouse performances from Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, Event Horizon remixes haunted‑house tropes, cosmic dread, and cyber‑Gothic design into a spaceship of nightmares. Can a haunted spaceship film feel like Alien, Hellraiser, and Solaris all in one? How do Fishburne’s grounded reactions and Neill’s unraveling physicist elevate this twisted space‑horror ride? And what about Paul W.S. Anderson? Is he a compromised studio hack, or the mastermind behind a misunderstood masterpiece? CONSUUUME to find out all this and much more! PLUS!

This week, Ben and Rob dive into Together (2025), a tangled, self-aware horror-drama that asks big questions about love, identity, and whether two people can ever really exist as individuals or if they’re doomed to dissolve into one another. It’s part relationship study, part metatextual puzzle, and part… something else entirely. Is Together a sensitive exploration of codependency, or a two-hour therapy session disguised as cinema? What does Michael Shanks’ short film Rebooted have to say about his writing/directing style? Are we living in the golden age of horror or just the golden age of films that like to tell us they’re horror? The ongoing copyright infringement lawsuit: what does it mean? And does it hold any weight? Most importantly: what does Together really mean? The lads wrestle with that question, trying to separate the profound from the insane. Is this even possible? Can these ideals co-exist separately in one space or do they just… merge into one? CONSUUUME to find out all of this and much more! PLUS!

This week, Ben and Rob suffer through War of the Worlds (2025), a baffling “screen life” style disaster starring Ice Cube and directed by Rich Lee. It’s a modern retelling of the classic H.G. Wells War Of The Worlds; except instead of tension, thrills, or coherence, we get glitchy video calls, insane leaps of logic, and a lead performance that suggests Ice Cube might secretly be a sociopath. Is War of the Worlds the first alien invasion film to be completely derailed by Zoom windows? Why should director Rich Lee escape this mess blameless, and how did Ice Cube get away with whatever it is he’s doing here? And the big one: is this the worst sci-fi movie of the decade? Or in the right context, the most fun you could ever have watching an advert for Amazon? The lads pick apart the wreckage of War of the Worlds (2025), searching for meaning, entertainment, or even a single reason it exists. Spoiler: they don’t find one.

Ben and Rob head deep into the woods with Black Bear (2020), Lawrence Michael Levine’s tense, layered meta-drama starring Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott, and Sarah Gadon. It’s part relationship breakdown, part filmmaking fever dream and maybe part psychological horror told in a way that proves three might actually be the magic number. What does the black bear itself really symbolise? How does the film’s final frame rewire everything you thought you understood? And is this Aubrey Plaza’s best performance, or just her most unpredictable? The lads break down the shifting realities, meta-narratives, and emotional gut punches that make Black Bear a film you can’t stop thinking about, even when you’re not entirely sure you’ve solved it.

Ben and Rob lock and load for Warfare (2025), the haunting, hyper-realistic war film co-directed by Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza. Known for cerebral sci-fi like Ex Machina and Annihilation, Alex Garland shifts gears into combat territory—while quietly stepping back to share authorship in a way that feels as radical as the film itself. Who is Ray Mendoza, and why did Alex Garland hand him the reins? Is it even possible to make a truly anti-war film in an industry that so often glorifies violence? And how does the bone-rattling sound design help Alex Garland disappear like a ghost from his own movie? The lads dig into the ethics of representation, the thin line between immersion and complicity, and—most importantly—what Warfare might really be trying to say beneath all the smoke, sweat, and shell casings.

Ben and Rob strap in for Titane (2021), the brutal, brilliant body horror from writer-director Julia Ducournau. Following her breakout debut Raw, Ducournau returns with Titane, a genre-defying mix of horror, surrealism, and melodrama that left one host completely wrecked—in the best way, the other in the worst. Is Titane about love, loneliness, or absolutely nothing at all? What happens when your gender, identity, and skeleton all start to shift at the same time? Why does the film feel so personal for Ben, even while it so gleefully leaves Rob cold? And how exactly does Julia Ducournau make a film this shocking feel so tender? The lads unpack how Titane affected them on a gut level, how it flips social norms on their head, and why Ducournau might be one of the most fearless filmmakers working today.

Ben and Rob head to the frontlines with Alex Garland’s Civil War (2024), the film that he intended to be his last in the directors chair. Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman, Civil War isn’t your typical dystopian epic. Instead, Alex Garland delivers a chilling, ground-level road movie where journalists race through a divided America to document its collapse. But why did Alex Garland decide Civil War would be his final film? And why is journalism such a personal subject for this movie? The lads also dive into the film’s technical side, unpacking how Alex Garland uses chromatic aberration to distort reality and amplify tension without the audience even realising. Is it a visual gimmick, or a metaphor for truth being refracted and fragmented? Finally, they ask the big question: what does Civil War actually mean? Is Garland predicting the fall of democracy, mourning it, or just trying to warn us while he still can? One thing’s certain: with Civil War, Alex Garland didn’t just make one of A24’s most successful films, he made a film that may still predict the future.
