We're discussing X-Files : I Want To Believe (2008)

I was a MASSIVE X-Files fan back in 1994. As a young student, the whole flat used to get the beers in, camp out on the couch, eat Doritos, and dream of working a job with Gillian Anderson every Thursday night. Invariably we'd end up heading to the pub, discussing the episode, then staggering home at 1am because that's what students do.

Now, 27 years later, at the end of our Alphabet Movie Challenge, I found a way to revisit those glorious student days with my kids (without the excessive drinking and staggering). "I Want To Believe" is classic X-File storytelling - psychics, weird science, experimental procedures, and Mulder and Scully arguing over the validity of what they're doing.

We discuss the original X-files series, Pilot Episodes, Dr Isla gives us the low down on stem cells (its really interesting), getting up for school and Nieve nearly breaks down in tears at the thought of watching Top Gun....and it being good.

We're discussing Free Guy (Spoilers)

We answer that burning question on everyone's lips this week - is Free Guy just PG Deadpool? Actually we also answer the "is it any good" question too, but does that matter? It's a Ryan Reynolds movie in which he does Ryan Reynolds things, much like Hitmans Bodyguard, 6 Underground, Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and his cameo in Hobbs & Shaw. He doesn't do any Green Lantern things though thank god!!

We also discuss cameo's, the villains, love and crossing the road, streamers and a very special sock joke that took me a while to understand.

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

2 Recommendations

Ladies and Gentlemen, Nicolas Kim Coppola, aka, Nic Cage, has returned and he's riding into Tinsel Town on a Pig.
While this, on paper, could be seen as a cheap John Wick rip off, it's far removed from the hyper action bullet fest franchise. Actually it's probably at the opposite end of the spectrum, because not only is it about a man and his pig, its about fathers and son's, happiness, food and cooking.
You never saw John Wick make French Toast, did you?
On this episode I'm talking the European Premiere and opening night of the Edinburgh Film Festival 2021. I try to act all 'established' amongst film high society, my failed attempts to get a press pass, the meaning of success and what Pig is all about.
I also think Nic will get an Oscar nomination for this. Just saying.
