This week, I was a guest on The Movie Bunker Podcast’s Episode 42 – talking about how life, the universe and everything is better for having “Superman III” in it.
The Movie Bunker Podcast is a podcast dedicated to reviewing the most critically panned movies. Is there a diamond in the rough? It’s unlikely, but they keep on digging, commandeering guests to divulge their movie guilty pleasure.
Movie
Mechanic: Resurrection should have stayed dead. Rivalling “Suicide Squad” for the worst editing of 2016, “Mechanic: Resurrection” is a confused and underwhelming mix of lush location footage and studio-bound cut scenes that feel more “That Riviera Touch” than a modern action thriller...
Doctor Who
There are a few off-key moments, but Jinkx Monsoon strikes all the right notes as they play The Devil's Chord Hoo-boy, where to begin? Almost strategically designed to be divisive, THE DEVIL’S CHORD sees Davies at his most provocative and most undisciplined. In an episode which...

Blue Is The Warmest Colour Review Blue may be the warmest colour, but the prurient gossip and rumour-mongering circulating the making of Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palm D’Or-winning movie has generated heat enough to obscure the truth of the film itself. But if you dismiss the salacious...

Horror
Terror lurks beyond Uranus in Neptunian nightmare sci-fi Event Horizon Unbeloved by critics at the time but having since built quite the cult following, “Event Horizon” may not be much more than the pithy ‘haunted house in space’ summary that often dismissively describes it but given...
Christmas
Joseph and the amazing technicalities he chose to overlook. Joseph didn’t choose the cuck life, it chose him - or so the story goes in Journey To Bethlehem, a Disney original movie-adjacent retelling of the ante-nativity that’s more fun that it ought to be but still less fun than it...
Movie
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is less a sequel and more a kitschy remixed cover version. *SPOILER WARNING* Donna is dead to begin with. As dead as a doornail. It’s just one of the many, many ways this sequel unpicks all the happy endings of the first movie to cynically give itself a...
