Lee Medcalf

Join Lee, Darren, Jim and Elton as they waffle, wonder and jabber on about film, geek news, video games and any other tangential rubbish that spring to mind, before reviewing a movie from yesteryear. Removing the Rose Tinted Specs to see if a film really deserves its classic status or the Sh*t Covered Goggles to see if a bad film is actually as awful as its reputation.

When the apocalypse arrives three things are certain... Cockroaches will still be alive, someone in charge will still cite you as fit for work and the four horsemen of BS will return to the podcasting wasteland.

And here we are... Black Dog v2.0 aka Shut In Cinema is here to make your confinement worse as the world slowly slides to oblivion. 

This week we try to get all the remote chat software working and in a half assed way explain how the format for the cast will change going forward... It was only supposed to be a 20 min test. So enjoy this hour long ramble of nonsense. 

Next week we start in earnest with the first of our Shut In Cinema reviews... Watching the Bruce Lee classic Enter The Dragon currently available on Netflix.
