Just So Jables Film Podcast

Hitting Netflix for something new this week. We're also on about Retro Reels and pondering Dead Boy Detectives. 1.30 Recap last week (Abigail) 4.10 What we're on about (Retro Reels, Glass, Dead Boy Detectives) 11.17 Initial thoughts on In the Land of Saints and Sinners 16.14 Review of In the Land of Saints and Sinners 32.53 Next week

We wish we'd known a bit less about this week's offering going in (Marketing Team, take note!), but overall we all enjoy this gory romp. We're also on about Expendables 4 and Jables gives his final thoughts on Fallout, as well as announcing the next Retro Reels. 0.33 Recap last week (Civil War) 06.10 What we're on about 12.17 Initial thoughts on Abigail 18.38 Retro Reels announcement 20.02 Review of Abigail 38.23 Trailers and next week

Despite its visual highs, we find it hard to care much about this week's surprisingly weightless offering. At least we have Producer Ben scaling Dante's Peak in his 'DVD from a charity shop' segment, whilst Our Kid explores a time loop with River and Jables praises Fallout. 0.43 Recap last week (Monkey Man) 4.13 River 6.27 DVD from a charity shop 11.15 Fallout 14.54 Initial thoughts on Civil War 24.21 Review of Civil War 47.42 Trailers and next week

We can't agree on everything about this film, but the general consensus is overwhelmingly positive - go and see it! We're also talking about all the classic DVDs we've watched this week. 1.16 Charity shop DVD classics 4.57 Recap last week (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) 11.47 Initial thoughts on Monkey Man 17.00 Review of Monkey Man 37.45 Trailers and next week

All right sweethearts, what are you waiting for? It's time to invade the Corn Exchange for another glorious day in the Corps. No timings this week, it's all about our favourite sequel.

Can the latest in the Ghostbusters franchise bring the same surprising charm as Afterlife? Hmm... Jables is also talking about Gladiator in anticipation of the sequel and Our Kid is excited about the teaser trailer for Beetlejuice 2. 0.33 Recap last week (Spaceman) 3.09 Looking forward to Retro Reels Labyrinth 4.57 Gladiator 7.56 Beetlejuice 2 trailer 10.25 Initial thoughts on Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 15.17 Review of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 42.27 Trailers and next week

With nothing new on the big screen we hit the small screen for Netflix's Spaceman and find ourselves surprisingly charmed. Also Our Kid reviews Scrapper and Producer Ben has a good old fashioned rant about Ford v Ferrari. 0.49 Recap last week (Imaginary) 3.30 Ford v Ferrari 7.10 Looking forward to Retro Reels Aliens 7.57 Scrapper 9.47 Initial thoughts on Spaceman 16.55 Review of Spaceman 34.27 Next week

Some flawed fun this week as we follow Chauncey Bear into the fantastical world of a child's imagination to find it looks more like an Elm Street dream sequence. We're also reviewing this week's Oscar winners and hitting Producer Ben's vintage DVD collection. 0.51 Recap last week (Dune Part 2) 4.15 Yes Minister 5.32 Oscars 2024 Review 8.20 Looking forward to Retro Reels (Aliens) 9.04 Initial thoughts on Imaginary 15.21 Review of Imaginary 29.02 Trailers and next week

No one is more excited than Producer Ben to get the second instalment of his favourite franchise, and it's more good news! Also, Our Kid announces the upcoming Retro Reels title and Jables has a grumble about talking in cinemas (if you do it, please stop). 0.47 Recap last week (Madam Web) 3.09 Retro Reels announcement 4.28 Freelance 6.27 Wicked Little Letters 10.55 Initial thoughts on Dune Part 2 17.26 Review of Dune Part 2 47.59 No trailers (but Jables has a grumble) and next week

Our hopes of a good swim against the tide are dashed when we find that the latest Sony Spiderman Universe feature really does have very little to redeem it. At least we have our mini review of independent found footage folk horror DAGR (even if Our Kid didn't fare so well with it...). 0.38 Recap last week (The Iron Claw) 3.12 DAGR 8.52 Avatar: The Last Airbender 11.36 Initial thoughts on Madam Web 18.34 Review of Madam Web 39.46 Trailers and next week

It's time to dance magic dance as we head back to the Corn Exchange for some fabulous 80s fantasy. No timings this week, just half an hour of puppety magic.

We can't quite agree on the overall quality, but still find much to like about this week's slice of quirky americana. Also, Jables finally gets round to watching The Super Mario Bros Movie and Our Kid talks about Oscar contender Past Lives. 1.00 Recap last week (Argylle) 3.33 Looking forward to Retro Reels Labyrinth 5.00 The Super Mario Bros Movie 6.35 Past Lives 8.26 Initial thoughts on The Iron Claw 13.59 Review of The Iron Claw 27.11 Trailers and next week

Did anyone out there enjoy this film? If so, please get in touch and tell us why. As well as scratching our head over this, we're talking about new anime Blue Giant, The Brothers Sun on Netflix and looking forward to Labyrinth with Retro Reels. Plus we've added timing (let's see how long that lasts!): 01.24 Recap last week (All of Us Strangers) 04.51 Looking forward to Retro Reels Labyrinth 05.55 The Brothers Sun 08.13 Blue Giant 10.46 Initial thoughts on Argylle 16.18 Review of Argylle 34.22 Trailers and next week

We're getting serious this week with a fantastically emotional British drama. Jables is also finishing up season 2 of Reacher whilst Our Kid wonders if The Art of Racing in the Rain might have been better suited to Channel 5.

Producer Ben's favourite action star is back on another quest for vengeance, this time making smug millennials pay for their bad deeds and crimes against fashion. We're also enjoying Japanese time travel with Beyond the Infinite 2 Minutes and Jables can't quite believe the monstrosity that is Sharktopus.

Well acted but strangely superficial, we know no more about Enzo Ferrari by the end than we did at the start. Meanwhile Jables takes on season 2 of What If..?, Producer Ben gets animated with The Boy and the Heron and Our Kid struggles through Fool Me Once.

Our first week back of the new year and we're heading to the Corn Exchange for a blast of 80s horror. Join the Jable team, a creepy dog and Kurt Russell's hair as we revisit this eye-popping classic.

It's that time of year again when we talk about what we'll be watching over the festive break. Enjoy and see you next in 2024!

A definite contender for film of the year, this week's offering restores our faith in epic storytelling. Meanwhile Producer Ben is going retro with The One, Jables digs up Bodies on Netflix and Our Kid falls for The House of Usher.

Is Willy Wonka a psychopath? It's a question Jables and Our Kid can't agree on, though they can agree on the fun warmth of the new prequel. Also Producer Ben is back with another 'DVD from a charity shop', though he may have finally hit the bottom of the bargain bin.
