Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!
A bunch of Welsh people talking about films and making stuff.
Ancient mystical martial arts meets the world of gangster pop music in The Last Dragon, a movie that is like constantly switching channels between watching a kung-fu B-Movie and music videos on MTV. In this discussion, be prepared for: very undefined mystical martial arts powers, video arcade gangsters, getting put in the bin and getting acquainted with Sho’nuff and Sum Dum Goy.
Time to talk an incredibly long time about The Incredible Shrinking Man! What should have been just a silly B-Movie turns out to have a little more depth than we expected. Tune in to hear about: the perils of mixing Nuclear glitter and pesticides, the amusements of seeing a tiny man sit on a huge chair, declaring war on giant spiders and one of the most patient and understanding wives in movie history.
What’s this? An actual good movie that people have heard of! What are we thinking?! Well, we attempt to jump out of our comfort zone of watching obscure or weird toned movies and see if we have anything to say about Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece Rashamon. And it turns out, like always, we have a lot to say. But whose version of events do you agree with? Come and listen and find out.
Time for a half remembered childhood film to be thrown under the bus again this week on Spoiler Filled as we explore Babes in Toyland, a 1961 Disney musical about nursery rhymes and lots of other nonsense. Be prepared for: awkward goose puppets, rip-off Laurel and Hardy, extolling the benefits of child labour, selling people to gypsies, an exemplary drag performance, poof guns and a really fun toy battle climax.
