What if you were cloned, killed, and reprinted like a cosmic photocopy? Thatâs the wild setup of Mickey 17, Bong Joon-hoâs latest sci-fi gem thatâs got us hooked.

Itâs less clone chaos, more slow-burn brain teaserâthink spaceship social commentary with a side of âhold up, are we the idiots here?â as colonisers clash with annoyed alien locals.

The James Bond franchise has thrilled audiences for over six decades, evolving with each era while keeping its suave spy spirit alive. With Amazon recently taking creative control of the James Bond franchise from the Broccoli family, as 007 fans, we canât help but dive into whatâs next for our favourite spy. Weâre excited yet nervous about how this shift might shake up Bondâs world.
In this episode, we reminisce about the glory days, from Sean Conneryâs cool swagger in Goldfinger to Daniel Craigâs raw intensity in Casino Royale, debating what made those films legendaryâgadgets like ejector seats, epic chases, and villains that still haunt our dreams.
But itâs not just nostalgia driving us; weâre also speculating on Amazonâs impact. Will they keep Bondâs essence alive or churn out spin-offs that water it down? Could Henry Cavill be the next 007, or will a fresh face step up?
Itâs a conversation full of passion, laughs, and a bit of worry for the future of the franchise we adore.

What happens when two strangers are stuck in a time loop at a wedding? And can a time-loop movie still feel fresh, even with classics like Groundhog Day setting the bar?

How can a Viking revenge story subvert expectations and challenge your view on justice and vengeance? In this episode, we review The Northman, Robert Eggersâ latest epic, blending brutal action with philosophical depth. Set in the Viking Age, it follows Prince Amlethâs quest for revenge against his uncle, who murdered his father. But this isnât just another revenge taleâEggers infuses the genre with complexity, exploring themes of fate, honour, and the cost of vengeance.
With stunning cinematography and a haunting score, the film balances visceral action with moments of surreal, mythical realism. We examine the performances, especially Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd as the primal Amleth, and Nicole Kidmanâs cunning portrayal of his mother. The filmâs mythology adds an eerie, otherworldly dimension, leaving audiences questioning whatâs real and whatâs imagined.
Despite its action-packed trailer, The Northman subverts expectations with a slower pace and a deeper focus on philosophical questions about revenge. As we explore its Shakespearean undertones, particularly comparisons to Hamlet, we discuss how its moral grey areas make it a thought-provoking watch.
Could this be the definitive Viking movie, or does it leave too many questions unanswered?

How does Kalki 2898 AD measure up to the sci-fi greats, and does it successfully blend Indian mythology with futuristic action?

Set in a dystopian future, the film follows a group of rebels, a bounty hunter, and a cursed immortal, all trying to protect a pregnant woman carrying a prophesied child from a totalitarian regime.
While the movie impresses with its action sequences and grand set pieces, we explore its reliance on familiar tropes and its sometimes confusing mythology. From references to Star Wars and Mad Max to its homage to Indian culture and history, this film has it all. But does it manage to bring something fresh to the table, or does it get lost in the complexity of its storytelling?
