  1. Memento vs The Wicker Man Rear Window vs The Shining Monty Python's Life of Brian vs The Dark Knight Spartacus vs Men In Black Mad Max: Fury Road vs The Blues Brothers
  2. So I watched it in two chunks - live up until Ospreay/Takeshita, then finished off whilst WFH Monday morning on 5 hours sleep (max). Frustrated by the booking of Christian/Garcia and FTR/BCC, although both were good matches. Kingston/Danielson was excellent, Scramble match wasn't (nor was the Women's title match). OC/Strong was a sleeper candidate for match of the night - enhanced by KOR at the end - whereas Ospreay/Takeshita was the actual MOTN and the main event was pulled off perfectly. I went into this thinking the Bucks should win for torch-passing reasons, but honestly, it was the right result and hit all the right notes. Fucking Darby Allin clearly doesn't want to live past 35.... World title match slightly got lost in the shuffle despite being the co-main, but it was a great story and I'm glad the winner won....not sure how spoiler-rific I should be outside of the main event. Definitely one of AEW's best - Top 5, certainly.
  3. In spite of my better judgement - the PPV is likely to end 4 hours before my work day on Monday begins - I'm watching Revolution live. The card is magnificent and whilst I never really grew up with Sting, I'm fully on board with his retirement send-off.
  4. Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 101! - our subject will be Amy Adams. Again. The Year of Redux will see us take on ANY* Amy Adams film, regardless of whether they have been covered on Comic Reel-ief, Pulp Diction or anything else. It will still be a pick from Ian, a pick from Pandy and a third movie, although the disclaimer of the other brother not having seen their sibling's pick is being disapplied for 2024. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the show soon so get your ideas in before then! *We won't be covering The Fighter, Junebug or Enchanted.
  5. Goodfellas vs Jaws Amadeus vs Psycho Inception vs Unbreakable
  6. This is very on note for reasons that will become abundantly clear soon ( @Pan-dub)
  7. Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 100 - WOWSERS! - our subject will be Halle Berry. Again. The Year of Redux will see us take on ANY* Halle Berry film, regardless of whether they have been covered on Comic Reel-ief, Pulp Diction or anything else. It will still be a pick from Ian, a pick from Pandy and a third movie, although the disclaimer of the other brother not having seen their sibling's pick is being disapplied for 2024. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the show soon so get your ideas in before then! *We won't be covering Dark Tide, Bulworth or Monsters Ball.
  8. Oh I knew it was divisive. I just thought the dividing line was that one camp of people loved it and the other was weirded out by what happens. Des is the only person I've seen calling it the worst movie of 2023. And I should note that I'm not judging anyone in that I haven't seen it myself.
  9. That would be Olivia Munn. Haven't seen it, but I think you're on an island on that one.
  10. The ballot remains open until the end of the year - we record on January 1st 2024.
  11. UPDATE: The November email hasn't materialised, but the Ep 100 MP3 has been received!
  12. In truth, I don't really know the full story of the Von Erichs. But if you have a Dark Side of the Ring episode devoted to the subject matter, it can't be good.
  13. Yo! Sorry to hear that - the email address remains the same but there's something behind the scenes that means that I don't get to access them directly and I get them forwarded from @Missy. Will refer this up, but as a rule, continue to either use the email address and/or the Facebook page (or both for belt & braces).
  14. With the posting of the last regular episode of the podcast for the year, all that's left is Episode 100. Not only a massive special, but the home of this year's Tomlinson Awards. Due to 2024 being The Year of Redux, and as we're openly canvassing your input as to which actors we revisit over the next 11 months, this year's write-in category is strictly for DIRECTORS ONLY. And without further ado, your ballot choices are as follows: Favourite Featured Actor Eddie Murphy Orson Welles Viola Davis Gwyneth Paltrow Ben Affleck Matt Damon Favourite Review Bowfinger Coming to America Dreamgirls Citizen Kane The Third Man Touch of Evil Ma Rainey's Black Bottom The Help Fences Shakespeare in Love Shallow Hal Se7en Chasing Amy Pearl Harbour Argo The Bourne Identity The Martian Good Will Hunting Worst Movie Covered *Same films as above* Best Feedback Christian asks about "the death of the movie star" Pandy's cluster emails of randomness Orgs' audio feedback for Ben Affleck Donovan's audio feedback for Ben Affleck Orgs' audio feedback for Matt Damon EDIT: Dan's background for Good Will Hunting.

  15. As announced in Episode 98, 2024 will be a year in which we revisit up to 11 of our previous subjects on HAA. The stipulation of each brother not having seen the other's pick will be disapplied, therefore it will be 3 new films starring/co-starring the subject of the month, and not rereviewing the films picked in the original episode. We also announced in Episode 98 that the foundation of the Year of Redux will be, somewhat inevitably, Will Smith. With him picked, we have up to 10 spaces available for the Redux treatment. Whilst I have 2 other names in mind, and Pandy may have some of his own, the field is basically wide open so all suggestions are welcome for us to weight in order of which we want to revisit the most (no poll - we're not necessarily picking based upon what gets posted, but will use it as a steer). Potential actors are: Amy Adams Andy Serkis Angela Lansbury Angelina Jolie Anjelica Huston Anthony Hopkins Arnold Schwarzenegger Audrey Hepburn Ben Affleck Bill Murray Bob Hoskins Brad Pitt Bruce Willis Burt Reynolds Cameron Diaz Cate Blanchett Charlize Theron Christian Bale Christopher Lee Christopher Plummer Dan Aykroyd Denzel Washington Drew Barrymore Dustin Hoffman Eddie Murphy Elijah Wood Evangeline Lily Faye Dunaway Gwyneth Paltrow Halle Berry Heath Ledger Helen Mirren Hugo Weaving Ian McKellen Jack Black Jackie Chan Jamie Lee Curtis Jean-Claude Van Damme Jennifer Connelly Jim Carrey Jodie Foster Judi Dench Judy Garland Julia Roberts Julianne Moore Julie Andrews Kate Winslet Keanu Reeves Kirsten Dunst Kristen Wiig Laurence Fishburne Liv Tyler Maggie Smith Marilyn Monroe Martin Freeman Max von Sydow Mel Gibson Meryl Streep Michael Caine Michael Keaton Michelle Yeoh Mike Myers Morgan Freeman Natalie Portman Nicolas Cage Nicole Kidman Orson Welles Reese Witherspoon Richard Pryor Rick Moranis Robin Williams Rutger Hauer Salma Hayek Samuel L Jackson Sandra Bullock Sean Astin Sean Bean Sigourney Weaver Sylvester Stallone Tim Curry Timothy Dalton Tom Cruise Tom Hanks Uma Thurman Viggo Mortensen Viola Davis Whoopi Goldberg Will Smith Winona Ryder So, who would YOU like to see us revisit? And with what movies?
