Back for a third time this week, and I'm talking ghost stories, but very much like The Devils Backbone, there's a mystery to solve along the way. Certainly more Supernatural Thriller then horror, but not in a The Conjuring type way. However in a very Conjuring 2 / Annabell Creation way, this film has great performances by the two young girls (Kiera Thompson &
Sienna Sayer) as both the ghost and the daughter solving the mystery.

Hat's off to Ruth Platt for a having a really interesting and original ending - I didn't see it coming, but then I'm thick. Don't worry though, its not spoiled, so go watch the movie first, then come back here and listen to the show.

Daddy quickly reviews Absolute Denial (2021) - an Edinburgh Film Festival Review

Another Edinburgh Film festival premier. I had to stream this one though, using the Film House At Home (Link Below) because I couldn't make the time and the showing had sold out, however I'm very excited to talk about this A.I. goes wrong animation by Ryan Braund.
Is it AI goes wrong? Is it obsession?. I mean, I love sci-fi, and this covers a whole load of topics, and ideas that appeal to me, and includes a few nods to previous AI's and sci-fi greats. I talk about the animation and Ryan's work during lock down, as well as Iain M Banks, Pi, Aphex Twins, I fawn over twitter interactions, "Love, Death and Robots" gets a shout out, going mad and that the presence of clarity (that one's a bit deep for me!!)

Next Episode

We discuss Transformers (2007) and our Alphabet Challenge

4 Recommendations

Loads of stuff get's blown up, there's swoopy camera shots, massive robots, bad jokes, gratuitous 'Hot Girl' shots and a terrible plot - it can only be a Michael Bay film, so let the #Bayhem commence.

Daddy talk about his love for Gen1 Transformers and recounts Isla's birth. Nieve talks about how much she hates Transformers, and how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is so much better (yes, the Michael Bay produced one), and Isla talks sentience, war and George Clooney for President!!

For those of you that have listened regularly (we REALLY appreciate it), you will know about our alphabet challenge, and that this is the final letter of that challenge. We will be doing a recap/review episode later in the week, and discussing our next challenge there.

The Alphabet Challenge list can be found on our Letterboxd profile here - https://letterboxd.com/kwawwtpodcast/

Our original Challenge episode can be found here - https://kidswhatarewewatchingtonight.buzzsprout.com/1207745/7177957-our-2021-challenge-and-6-month-anniversary-episode-woop-woop
