The film that defined a genre and style, and has become synonymous with the term "Rockumentary", Rob Reiner's infinitely influential 1984 film practically wrote the book on spoof musicals and crossed over into pop culture in a way that arguably no other musical film has since. Let's find out what we make of it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Now available on Netflix, we decided it was a good time to revisit Scorsese's 2006 crime thriller The Departed. With its star-studded cast and over-the-top performances it scooped four oscars including Best Picture and Best Director - but how does it hold up now?

The Sh*tshow returns with an absolute smorgasbord of sh*t in the form of 1995's MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS. Ivan Ooze has been released from his egg tomb and vows to destroy/enslave the planet. Only the Power Rangers can stop him. We discuss everything from Zordon and "The Power" to the white power ranger's hilariously named real life MMA clothing line.

Hello again! Sorry to keep you waiting, but two of our three hosts have been sidelined for a while and we're only just getting back on track. This week we thought it was high time we got back into some horror - and this time it's a bonafide classic. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre arguably set the template for gore/shock/slashers way back in 1974, and has gone on to influence just about every horror film since. What makes this an even more incredible feat is that it was done in an unconventional manner and on a tiny budget.

The sh*tshow is back! 1997's Batman & Robin is a film we've referenced several times, but never quite plucked up the courage to cover (or watch again) UNTIL NOW. Find out whether it's Sh*tically Acclaimed, or Just Sh*t. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Part 2. We discuss the two sequels, Reloaded and Revolutions, as well as the new trailer for The Matrix: Resurrections. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WE'RE BACK. We finally found a time to get together and record, and with the recent release of the trailer for The Matrix Resurrections, we thought it would be as good a time as any to take on the trilogy. This one went on a bit (mainly thanks to the destructive force of Martin being 10 beers deep on an empty stomach) so I decided to cut it in two and put the other half out next week, where we'll cover Reloaded, Revolutions, and the new trailer.
