Ep 195: 2023 - Year in Review

In episode 195, the Robs take a look at the year in film in 2023. From M3GAN to Saltburn, Oppenheimer to Passages, Bottoms to Barbie, it's all here.

Ep 194: Wonka

Ep 194: Wonka

In this episode, Robs Daniel & Wallis sample the chocolate treats of Wonka. This latest film from the team behind Paddington should be the big film for Christmas (sorry Aquaman), and stars Timothée Chalamet as the titular chocolatier. But, the big question on everyone's lips is, did the Robs think it was scrumdiddlyumptious, or crumbly and tasteless, like Cadbury's has become? You'll have to listen in to find out.

Ep 190: The Creator & Saw X

Ooooh, it's a bumper episode of The Movie Robcast this time. Robs Daniel & Wallis cast their critical eye over four, that's right, four movies! Kicking off with Saw X, the horror prequel, well, sequel to Saw, and prequel to Saw II and the rest. Think of it as Saw 1.5.

Then onto Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance, which Mr. Wallis was surprised to find is a cut above previous instalments in the franchise.

The Robs reach different opinions on A Haunting in Venice, the latest Hercules Poirot film from Kenneth Branagh, and they finish talking about The Creator, the new sci-fi epic from Rogue One director Gareth Edwards. Phew!

Ep 188: Big Shark (and Tommy Wiseau Q&A)

Ep 188: Big Shark (and Tommy Wiseau Q&A)

In episode 188 Robs Daniel & Wallis are joined by regular guest Adrian Zak to deliver thoughts on Big Shark, the new film from visionary director Tommy Wiseau. Wiseau is the mad maverick responsible for The Room (not the Bree Larson one), and brings the same bonkers energy to this creature feature.


Our intrepid trio experienced Big Shark at London's Prince Charles Cinema, with an audience more than up for the lunacy. The tone for the evening was set from the get-go with a Q&A with Tommy Wiseau. And because we're such nice people, we're including some of that at the beginning and close of the episode.

Ep 186: The Dive (2023) and FrightFest2023 preview

After discussing Meg 2: The Trench in the last episode, Robs Daniel and Wallis are back in the water to talk The Dive. But before that, they take a brief detour to give details of this year's Pigeon Shrine FrightFest horror movie festival taking place in London this Bank Holiday Weekend.

Then onto The Dive, the gripping tale of two sisters, played by Sophie Lowe and Louisa Krause, who take a scuba diving trip to heal old wounds. But, a landslide pins Krause underwater and running out of air, with Lowe desperately trying to save her.

Ep 185: Meg 2 - The Trench

Ep 185: Meg 2 - The Trench

In ep 185, Robs Daniel & Wallis take a deep dive to see what they thought of Meg 2 - The Trench. Although it turned out a shallow paddle was sufficient to discuss this shark sequel. But, are there any pleasures to be found in this follow-up, improbably helmed by Kill List and A Field in England director Ben Wheatley? Does the Jason Statham bring his usual panache and elevate this monster-fest? The answers lie beneath the surface.

Ep 182: Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to episode 182 of The Movie Robcast. And we hope you do, because we love having you here.

Yep, in this episode Robs Daniel & Wallis dive into the latest Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible caper. Both Robs loved Fallout, the previous M:I movie, so what do they make of the follow-up? How is newcomer Hayley Atwell? Does that cliff jump dazzle after all the hype? Does it leave you panting for part two in an Across the Spider-verse fashion?

As always, you need to listen in to find out. Don't worry though, this podcast won't self-destruct after five seconds. We can't promise the same of the hosts however...

And if you like what you hear, why not leave a star rating or feedback wherever you listen to your podcasts? That's a mission far from impossible, and will win our undying loyalty.

Ep 180: The Flash

Ep 180: The Flash

The Movie Robcast reaches the ultimate score in Darts terms! So, in episode One Hundred and Eighty! we get up to speed with The Flash. Long time coming, and beset with negative publicity surrounding its star Ezra Miller, was it worth the wait? Does Michael Keaton dazzle returning to the role of Bruce Wayne and Batman? How is Ezra Miller, controversy aside? Does Sasha Calle soar as Supergirl? Did The Flash need an origins story when we're now so many films into the DCEU? Particularly as the DCEU is about to undergo a massive James Gunn reboot, so this could be the final time we see these actors play these roles.

How does The Flash compare to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the other superhero movie now in cinemas and currently tackling variant universes.

As always, if you want to find out you need to listen in! And if you like what you hear, why not leave a star rating or feedback wherever you listen to your podcasts? Perhaps in a flash? Or in your own time is fine...

Ep 176: Evil Dead Rise

In this episode, Robs Daniel & Wallis open the Necronomicon and stare at the madness within. In other words, they talk about Evil Dead Rise, the latest film in the surprisingly wide-ranging Evil Dead franchise. They're both fans of the series, so what do they make of this latest instalment?

Before hanging with the Deadites, the pair briefly discuss other movies they've been watching, The Court Jester, To Be or Not To Be, and the 2013 remake of The Evil Dead. For those who want to jump straight to their Evil Dead Rise discussion, start listening from 12 minutes in. And thanks as always for listening.

Ep 175: Super Mario Bros. Movie and Dungeons & Dragons

Ep 175: Super Mario Bros. Movie and Dungeons & Dragons

As with the previous episode, the title only tells half the story. As the Robcast took an unexpected hiatus, Robs Daniel & Wallis decided to release another episode just a week later because there is so much to talk about.

So alongside in-depth discussions of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the Robs give capsule reviews of the dazzling new sci-fi WW2 indie movie, Lola, Air, Ben Affleck's biopic about a shoe, and Tetris, the biopic about a video game. Phew! They also make time to talk about how revolutionary Nintendo were for home gaming, plus tangents less related to the main discussion.

Rob Daniel mentions his 5-star review of Lola, so for those interested here it is: https://www.electric-shadows.com/lola-legge-martini-appleton-review/

Ep 174: John Wick - Chapter 4 (and more!)

Ep 174: John Wick - Chapter 4 (and more!)

The episode title may only name John Wick: Chapter 4, but this is a bumper episode of the Robcast. For those following us on social media, you’ll know technical issues prevented us from releasing our Oscars episode. So it has been a month since our last ep… thanks for your patience, folks!

Before we get to the latest John Wick film, we do a very brief recap of our Oscar thoughts, then talk Cocaine Bear, Infinity Pool, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, and John Wick: Chapter 4! Then Rob Wallis gives his opinions on the Marlowe movie, starring Liam Neeson. THEN, we go into spoilers.

Phew! But, our lovely listeners deserve a spoiling after such a long (unplanned) breaks.

So, please enjoy, and you’ll be hearing from us again soon!

PS: the girl in Cocaine Bear, and was previously great in The Florida Project, is Brooklynn Prince.

Ep 173: Erica Hernandez Talks True Lies (2023)

Ep 173: Erica Hernandez Talks True Lies (2023)

In this episode, Robs Daniel and Wallis are delighted to welcome Erica Hernandez to the show. Hernandez stars in the new CBS series True Lies, based on the James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger 1994 blockbuster. The premise is the same - a frustrated wife, worried her husband is having an affair, discovers he is a secret agent - and the series packs in all the action of the movie while expanding the characters. Hernandez plays Maria, a character who is part of the spy team and created especially for the show. She talked to the Robs about the fun and excitement to be had making a hi-octane TV series, accompanied by a feisty dog called Milo. 

True Lies premieres Wednesday, March 1 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the  CBS Television Network and will be available on the CBS app and for  streaming on Paramount+.

Ep 172: Witchfinder General

Ep 172: Witchfinder General

Episode 172 of the Robcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis peering back into the mists of cinematic time, and discovering a classic of British horror. There is a reason the pair chose to look back, and they reveal why in the ep. Said classic is of course Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General, but you knew that. Notorious and heavily cut in its day, this tale of corruption and madness set against the backdrop of the English Civil War has been restored to pretty much what Reeves intended, and retains its power to disturb. 

The Robs discuss its brilliance, its talented, troubled director, the making of the movie, and the wonderful cast assembled. Including Vincent Price, magnificent in a career defining role. Even if Michael Reeves hated having to use him instead of his own choice, Donald Pleasance.

Ep 170: Babylon & M3GAN

Ep 170: Babylon & M3GAN

In the latest ep, Robs Daniel and Wallis talk a whole bunch of movies. The pair open by giving their verdict on Babylon, Damien Chazelle's new picture, starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, and a cast of thousands. The movie takes a look at the wild days of Hollywood 1927, but does it capture the party atmosphere? 

The Robs end with M3GAN, the new killer doll movie from Blumhouse, starring Allison Williams. Is this one a slick, well-oiled fear machine or do the gears grind? Listen in to find out! 

Rob Wallis has been a particularly busy cinemagoer and gives his opinion on two indie horror flicks. Enys Men, the new folk horror from Mark Jenkins, the director of Bait, and Skinamarink, the unnerving mindscrambler from Kyle Edward Ball. The latter set opening box office records for a horror film at London's Prince Charles Cinema. So is it worth a watch?

Episode 169 sees Robs Daniel and Wallis look back at the year that was 2022. Not a banner year for the world, but how was it for movies?

And, which movies released in 2022 garnered the coveted Mad As Arseholes Award? Also, which are the films that appear in the Robs Top 10s of the year? So many questions, and all the answers are in the latest ep! Listen in to find out?

Ep 168: Glass Onion - A Knives Out Mystery

In this ep Robs Daniel & Wallis investigate Glass Onion, Rian Johnson's latest Knives Out caper. It is no mystery why the Robs have so much to talk about; that man Johnson has done it again. To find out how, listen in. You will also be treated to the Robs doing their own attempts at a Benoit Blanc Southern drawl. As if that wasn't enough, they also talk about how great Daniel Craig is when he's clearly having fun, why Edward Norton is a good screen presence despite all those stories of him being "difficult," and they ponder the bizarre decisions that make up Netflix's business model. Fahllll puh-lay is afoot...

167: Avatar - The Way of Water

167: Avatar - The Way of Water

Robs Daniel and Wallis and their wonderful guests have finished the deep-dive into James Cameron's feature film back catalogue. Now it is time for the Robs to return to Pandora for the belated follow-up to the biggest film of all time. So, what do they make of Avatar: The Way of Water? Ah, to reveal it here would be spoilerific, and this is an episode with a clearly marked spoiler section, so we're not going to give anything away. Suffice to say, there are points of agreement and points of divergence. 

The Robs also discuss the 3D, the High Frame Rate look of the film, the unusually disruptive audience at the BFI IMAX, and more. Come on in, the water's lovely...

Ep 166: Titanic & Avatar: James Cameron Deep-Dive #4 (feat. The Honeymoon Period)

Ep 166: Titanic & Avatar: James Cameron Deep-Dive #4 (feat. The Honeymoon Period)

Our James Cameron retrospective comes to a spectacular end with the third biggest film of all time and the biggest film of all time. Box office wise. We could only be speaking about Titanic and Avatar. Water show Rob D and Rob W have for you, you'll be blue if you miss it! We must apologise, we're just giddy after four great episodes of Cameron conversation. 

For this final voyage, we are joined by Alex Leadbeater of Screen Rant, Collider and Comic Book Resources to discuss Titanic. Alex is a bit of a buff when it comes to the doomed White Star Line vessel, so was the perfect guest to talk about Cameron's sweeping romance. For Avatar (starting at 1:03:30), Mark and Elaine Gregersen of The Honeymoon Period podcast join the Robs. Elaine is an Avatar fan (while acknowledging its flaws), so just the type of person needed to balance the mixed feelings of Mark and Robs D & W. 

Thanks for listening. If you've not already heard them, check out our previous three eps for more James Cameron banter!

Next episode: Avatar: The Way of Water... finally.

Ep 165: Terminator 2 & True Lies: James Cameron Deep-Dive #3 (feat. Secrets and Spies)

Ep 165: Terminator 2 & True Lies: James Cameron Deep-Dive #3 (feat. Secrets and Spies)

Our journey through James Cameron's movies continues into the 1990s, and JC's final two movies (to date) with Arnold Schwarzenegger. We begin with one of the finest films of the decade, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What Aliens is to Rob Daniel, T2 is to Rob Wallis, and Mr. W reveals why in the episode. Not that Rob D is sniffy about the film. In fact , you could say this is a T2 love-in. 

Then onto True Lies, and here the Robs are joined by Chris Carr, producer and host of the excellent Secrets and Spies podcast. All three have reservations about the film, and discuss how the film's sexual and racial politics seem out of kilter compared to the rest of Cameron's work. Chris also brings his expertise on all things espionage to look at what True Lies gets right and wrong.

So, buckle up for all things Jim and Arnie, in the penultimate ep of our Cameron retrospective mini-series!

Ep 164: Terminator, Aliens, Abyss!: James Cameron Deep-Dive #2 (feat. Open Pike Night)

Ep 164: Terminator, Aliens, Abyss!: James Cameron Deep-Dive #2 (feat. Open Pike Night)

Episode 164 of The Movie Robcast is a bumper voyage through James Cameron's 1980s sci-fi extravaganzas. From the low-budget The Terminator, to his first studio gig with Aliens, to the seeming insanity of what he challenged himself and the cast to achieve with The Abyss, it's all here.

Robs Daniel & Wallis realised they could not take this journey alone, and have recruited great guests.

From 1:00 they are joined by Jesse Bailey and Cameron Harrison of the wonderful Open Pike Night podcast to discuss Cameron's breakthrough classic, The Terminator.

From 1:10:00 the Robs welcome back frequent guest Sarah Johnson to talk all things Aliens. Aliens happens to be Sarah's favourite movie (she has exquisite taste) so there really was no better person to wax lyrical about James Cameron's masterpiece (according to Rob Daniel, and Sarah Johnson). We tried to keep our enthusiasm to short controlled bursts, but do occasionally gush. 

Then, at 2:02:00, our intrepid hosts are joined by another Robcast regular, Adrian Zak. Rob Wallis is unable to join this chat, but does reveal where he is. Rob D and Adrian then do a deep-dive (we're sorry) into Cameron's movie. A movie that tested the limits of both cast and crew, resulted in some of the best underwater scenes ever put to film, and changed cinema forever with its groundbreaking use of CGI. It's also Cameron's weakest film of the three, and we talk about why in the ep. 

So, thanks for listening. We'll be back in the next ep with Terminator 2 and True Lies!

Ep 163: Piranha II - The Spawning: James Cameron Deep-Dive (feat. Let's Jaws For A Minute)

Ep 163: Piranha II - The Spawning: James Cameron Deep-Dive (feat. Let's Jaws For A Minute)

In episode 163 of the Robcast, we begin our deep-dive into the works of James Cameron. You'll hear Robs Daniel and Wallis give an intro to the guy who directed the biggest and third biggest movies of all time, and then we get into the meat of the episode: a review of Cameron's debut movie, Piranha II: The Spawning. For this expedition, the Robs are joined by MJ Smith and Sarah Buddery, hosts of the wonderful podcast Let's Jaws for a Minute. Well, who better to deliver a verdict on Cameron's first fishy foray into film than the creators of a podcast about the ultimate fish movie? Piranha II comes a close second. We... we can't back that up.

During a discussion best described as "punchy," Sarah, MJ, and the Robs harpoon what has to be one of the shonkiest movies ever made. They discuss the film's fraught production, the weird porno vibe the film gives off, and ponder whether James Cameron is responsible for more of this than he'd like to admit. There is also discussion of the film's "hands on" executive producer, Ovidio G. Assonitis, who fired Cameron during production. Oh, and we discover what the Americans have instead of budgie smugglers. So, put on your respirators, it's time to get wet.

Ep 162: Living (2022)

The latest episode of the Robcast is all about Living. As in the Robs discuss the new film from Bill Nighy, director Oliver Hermanus, and writer and co-producer Ishiguro Kazuo. They look at why the film is such a great remake of Kurosawa Akira’s 1952 masterpiece Ikiru, and the ways in which shifting the story from Japan to England works so well.

They also discuss the impact Ishiguro’s work tends to have on them, plus times they’ve blacked out in films. We promise it all ties in.

Ep 160: Blonde (2022)

Ep 160: Blonde (2022)

Both Robs Daniel and Wallis love director Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Mr. Wallis thinks it might be in his Top 10 movies of all time, while Mr. Daniel ranks it as his favourite Western. The Robs are also fans of Dominik’s movies Chopper and Killing Them Softly. As it has been 10 years since Killing Them Softly, they were both hotly anticipating the director’s return with the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde.

But, these gentlemen don’t prefer this Blonde. Ana de Armas is first class, and the film frequently looks amazing. Yet neither of them liked the movie. To find out why, listen in…

Ep 158: Three Thousand Years of Longing, The Forgiven, Orphan (2009), Pinocchio (2022)

In a bumper episode, Robs Daniel & Wallis discuss... quite a few movies. To atone for the egregious absence of Mr. Wallis from the previous episode about FrightFest, the floor is largely handed over to him as he's seen more of the movies being discussed. Although, true to form Mr. Daniel cannot help but chime in. 

First up in George Miller's dazzling Three Thousand Years of Longing, which Rob W saw in a tiny Berlin cinema. Next up the pair talk about The Forgiven, the new film from John Michael McDonagh, starring Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain. Rob D then waxes lyrical about the horror classic Orphan, which he has discovered 13 years after everyone else. This cues Rob W up to talk about another demon kid movie, Disney's new live-action remake of Pinocchio. 

So, settle back and enjoy our box of chocolates episode. Although now you do know what you're going to get next.

156: Better Call Saul Finale

In this ep Robs Daniel & Wallis dive into the finale instalment of Better Call Saul to discuss the brilliance contained within. Their chat also takes them into Breaking Bad and El Camino territory, and the Robs bring in other favourite crime shows, including Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Wire, and The Shield. They also stand in awe of the Better Call Saul cast, including Bob Odenkirk, Patrick Fabian, Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito, Tony Dalton, and Rhea Seehorn. If Seehorn doesn't nab that Best Supporting Actress Emmy award, Hollywood will burn...

So, as we wave good to Saul Goodman, we're happy to say, s'all good man. 

NOTE: obviously there are spoilers for Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad contained in this episode, but also for the season finale of The Shield.

And, here are those Breaking Bad from Rob Wallis' blog:

Ep 154: Bullet Train (and The Gray Man)

The latest episode of The Movie Robcast takes a first class ticket into action and lunacy, as Robs Daniel & Wallis review Brad Pitt’s latest, Bullet Train. They find much to enjoy in David Leitch’s movie, the director behind John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw. You know the action is going to be good, but the Robs look into why Bullet Train stands head and shoulders above The Gray Man.

The Robs begin talking about The Gray Man, the latest film from the Russo Brothers. They made Avengers: Endgame, so why does it fail? Listen in to find out.

While discussing Bullet Train, Rob D also talks about the 1975 Japanese film Bullet Train, the movie whose basic premise inspired Speed.

Rob D also mentions an interview he did with Kristy Matheson, the Creative Director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival about the Japanese director Tanaka Kinuyo.

BONUS: Neighbours - Final Episode Talk-along

BONUS: Neighbours - Final Episode Talk-along

Okay, this episode of the Robcast is an indulgence. The Robs grabbed themselves some fish and chips and a beer and settled down for the final episode of Neighbours. Neither had watched the show in years and years and years. So they decided to record themselves watching it and talking to see if it would be at all useable. The jury is still out on that, but what the hell, we’re publishing it anyway. Mainly because the audio of Mike and Jane’s scenes are so lovely. Calling it a bonus episode might be stretching it though.

So, take a listen if only for the pilot errors – e.g. Annie Jones plays Jane, Rob D, not Annie Harris. Also, the woman next to Holly Valance was Natalie Imbruglia…

And hear Robs Daniel and Wallis react with astonishment when learning how old Ian Smith (aka Harold Bishop) is. It must be those strong antipodean genes…

Normal service will be resumed with the next episode, when the Robs will board the Bullet Train and also reveal their thoughts on The Gray Man.

Ep 151: Jurassic World: Dominion

Ep 151: Jurassic World: Dominion

In episode 151, Robs Daniel and Wallis discuss Jurassic World: Dominion, which apparently is the epic conclusion to the Jurassic Park saga. Does the movie live up to its illustrious predecessor? Or even previous instalments? Is there dino-fun to be had? How are Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, back on screen together for the first time since 1993's Jurassic Park? Will this reignite that extinguished love affair the audience used to enjoy with Chris Pratt? Is there a T-Rex? All this and more is answered within.
