Film Focus

In episode 181 of Film Focus, I have an interesting double review with two very different films in the form of Inside Out 2 and Lonlegs. So with Inside Out 2 initially I wasn't too hyped when the film was announced but after seeing the trailers and more recently the amount of money it's gotten at the box office, I had to see what was going on. And with Longlegs, that film has gotten more and more interesting leading up to its release with the trailer and positive word of mouth from critics and audience goers. So did these films turn out? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D Timecodes: 02:38 Inside Out 2 Review 19:44 Longlegs Review Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 179 of Film Focus, I bring you my review of A Quiet Place: Day One, the newest entry to this series. When this film was announced I wasn't too enthusiastic as I thought there wasn't a need for any additional films beyond the first two, but eventually the trailers won me over. So how is A Quiet Place: Day One and does it live up to the previous entries? Well, check out this spoiler-free episode to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 177 of Film Focus, I return to my Hopes and Fears series this time discussing the highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The hype for this film has been rising a lot in recent months and has reached a new pitch recently with the announcement of Keanu Reeves set to voice Shadow the Hedgehog. A lot could go right with this sequel, but there is also a lot that could go wrong. So join me as I list a few of my hopes and fears for the upcoming Sonic film.

In episode 176 of Film Focus, I review the latest film in the Monsterverse in the form of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. It seems like the hype surrounding all things Godzilla has reached new heights in the last few months with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters bringing kaiju action and human stories to TV, while Godzilla Minus One made a big splash over here in the West and even won an Oscar. So now you have the follow-up to Godzilla vs. Kong which from the trailers seems to be doubling down on the action, spectacle and Hollow Earth material. So how is Godzilla x Kong?

In episode 174 of Film Focus, I return to my Hopes and Fears series with my thoughts on the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2. With the sequel to the 2021 film wrapping up production recently, I thought it would be a fun idea to give some casual thoughts on the 2021 film nearly 3 years later, also briefly chat about how video game adaptations have risen up in recent years and then highlight a few key points that I am excited and afraid about with the MK sequel. I hope y'all enjoy it and apologies for any names I mispronounce. Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 172 of Film Focus, I give you my favourite films from 2023. This has been another interesting year for films and while I don't think it reached the heights of 2022 in terms of the variety of films I enjoyed, there were certainly some bangers that could be appreciated. Crafting this top 10 was one of the easier ones I've done as most of my entries were set in stone from my first viewing, though some changes were made towards the end of the year. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the episode. Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 171 of Film Focus, I return after a bit of a hiatus to share my thoughts on the big announcement from Nintendo that they're making a LIVE-ACTION Legend of Zelda film with Sony Pictures. I think a lot of people assumed the next big franchise from Nintendo that would get an adaptation after Mario would be Zelda, but I don't some of us were ready for it to be a live-action film, especially considering the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Now there is certainly a lot to be excited about, but also a lot to be concerned about. So join me in this unscripted episode as I give my initial take on this intriguing announcement.

In episode 170 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest incarnation of the Ninja Turtles in the form of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Now TMNT is a franchise is one that I've liked bits and pieces of but never fully invested my time into and I was hoping after the promising trailers for this new film with its unique visual style and interesting voice cast, that Mutant Mayhem would be the film to win me over. So is this film a great new version of TMNT or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free episode to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 169 of Film Focus, I give you my reviews for two of the biggest films of the year in the form of Barbie and Oppenheimer. I still find it bizarre and hilarious that we live in a world where both of these films were not only released on the same day but that the internet banded together to create the meme/movement/event known as "Barbenheimer". And so just like a bunch of other people I decided to do a double bill and now I'm ready to share my thoughts. So did these films live up to the hype or not? Well, listen to this spoiler-free episode to find out! :D Timecodes: 02:19 Barbie Review 14:19 Oppenheimer Review Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 168 of Film Focus, I finally get to talk about the latest entry in the Mission: Impossible film series; Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. I feel like the wait for this film has been one of the most agonising in recent memory with it being pushed back from its 2022 release date. And considering the cast and trailers, Dead Reckoning Part One has been on my mind every other day of the week in the lead-up to its release date. So is this another great entry into the franchise or not? Well, check out this spoiler-free episode to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 167 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest film in the Transformers film series; Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Now my interest in this franchise has definitely dropped off in recent years, but after Bumblebee in 2018, I did feel hopeful that this film series was on an upswing. And while the marketing didn't do much to excite me, I was still optimistic about Rise of the Beasts considering the inclusion of the Maximals. So is this another solid entry in the franchise or not?

In episode 166 of Film Focus, I share my quick thoughts on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Spidey Fever seems to be sweeping the online space and for good reason, Across the Spider-Verse is a remarkable film and even though I am ill at the moment, I wanted to share a short review of why I enjoyed it so much. Look forward to a more detailed review and spoiler-filled episodes in the future. Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 165 of Film Focus, I present the second half of the lost 2021 episode in the form of the Spider-Man film rankings with my friend/co-host, Ross. In part 1 we gave our picks for 9-5 and in part 2, we present our picks for 4-1. It is a little longer than the last episode but we couldn't help but do a little gushing. So how did we rank these Spidey films? Well, check out the episode to find out! Indi produced the Film Focus Theme.

In episode 164 of Film Focus, I present to you a lost episode of the podcast from late 2021 in which returning guest and friend Ross and I ranked all 9 of the current theatrical Spider-Man films. However, while recording I realised that it would be too much for one single episode so I split it in two, so here is part 1 where we give our entries for 9-5. So how did we rank these Spidey films?

In episode 163 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the latest superhero film from Marvel Studios in the form of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! The Marvel Cinematic Universe just hasn't hit the same since Avengers: Endgame and even though I have enjoyed certain bits from Phase 4, overall. Marvel's output has been inconsistent and less captivating than in previous years. But with James Gunn returning to finish off this trilogy I had a feeling he'd make sure this series would end on a high. So does this film conclude in a satisfactory way or not?

In episode 162 of Film Focus, I share my thoughts on the highly anticipated video game adaptation; The Super Mario Bros. Movie! After being burned by the live-action film in 1993, Nintedno kept their properties under lock and key for decades until recently when they decided to give the Mario franchise a second chance, this time through the power of animation via Illumination Entertainment. And since that first trailer dropped, fans and casual audiences have become more and more hyped by the previews of this new adaptation of the world of Mario. So does it succeed or fail?
