Flixwatcher: A Netflix Film Review Podcast

It’s episode 77! Returning guests Jason and Tiernan (from the award-winning Stop and Search and Partly Political podcast respectively) are back for Jason’s choice, Stir Crazy starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. A childhood favourite (and as old as Kobi) of Jason’s that he decided to revisit and bring to the Flixwatcher team. I say team as Tiernan neglected to watch it! It’s surprisingly not racist, risky, misogynistic or homophobic as you might predict for its era, one of the other things it isn’t is funny. From the promise of Pryor, Wilder and Sidney Poitier you expect much, much more.

Scores

[supsystic-tables id='79'] At 1 hour AND 51 minutes is very, very long for an unfunny, ridiculous caper and this is reflected in its very low scores. Overall Stir Crazy scores 2.37, not the lowest but still quite low. For Pryor and Wilder completists only. What do you guys think? Have you seen Stir Crazy? What did you think?

Previous Episode

Ep #076 It Follows with Hannah and Suruthi from true crime podcast "RedHanded"

It’s Episode 76! Suruthi and Hannah from Red Handed return for Suruthi’s choice the 2015 horror film It Follows. The ‘monsters’ in It Follows are mostly naked creepy old women and freaky kids, summoned by teens having sex (of course), once infected the only way to survive is to pass it on or killed by an invisible, super strong, sex ghost. Scores [supsystic-tables id='78'] It feels very much like an 80s John Carpenter film, with a killer soundtrack, absence of parents, dreary run down Americana but also feels modern despite the lack of modern technology, earning its own genre of hipster horror. It Follows scores 3.64, let down by low repeat viewing and that we all enjoy a good horror film cinema experience. We’re also curious to know if there are any other fans of Apocalypto out there????? Please let us know in the comments below!

Ep #078 Good Time with Corrina Antrobus and Sarah Cook from Picturehouse Podcast

In episode 78 we’re joined by Picturehouse Podcast ladies Sarah and Corrina for Sarah’s choice Good Time. Good Time is the 2017 film starring Robert (can we stop mentioning Twilight yet?) Pattison as Connie, a small time thief who instigates a series of increasingly catastrophic events in one night after a failed bank robbery.

Scores

[supsystic-tables id='80'] Good Time relies on the audience to truly suspend their belief and accept the path it embarks on without questioning its logic to an equally frenetic and dizzying soundtrack from Oneohtrix Point Never. With a run time of 99 minutes even the worst Netflix short attention span watchers should be able give it a view. Good Time scores highly across all the categories and scores 3.54 overall. What do you guys think? Have you seen Good Time? What did you think? Please let us know in the comments below!
