  • Episode # 355 Spaceman with William DeMeritt and James III

    Episode # 355 Spaceman with William DeMeritt and James III
    Jul 18 2024
    William (Bill) DeMeritt (actor and writer) and James III (Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Bill's choice Spaceman. Spaceman (2024) is a science fiction drama based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař and directed by Johan (Chernobyl) Renck. It stars Adam Sandler as Jakub Procházka, a Czech astronaut six months into a space mission to investigate a mysterious cloud of dust and particles, called Chopra. Carey Mulligan is Lenka, Jakub's pregnant wife. Isabella Rossellini co stars as Commissioner Tuma, Jakub's commanding officer with Paul Dano who voices Hanuš, an extraterrestrial spider. Jakub is lonely and misses Lenka. Unbeknown to Jakub, Lenka has sent a message says she wants to leave him. The message is intercepted by Commissioner Tuma who rules that Jakub should not receive the message as it will worsen his mental health and compromise the mission. Days later a telepathic spider appears inside the spaceship and they discuss humanity. Spaceman is a curious film, by casting Sandler and Mulligan it instantly asks you to suspend belief that Jakub is Czech, its easier to believe in a space spider than the implied quirkiness of Jakub's existence in space. Even less easier to believe is the central romance. Recommendability scores for Spaceman were quite mediocre, despite there being a talking spider it is quite dull. Similar scores across the remaining categories give Spaceman an overall score of 3.69.

    Episode # 353 Logan Lucky with Matt, Tim and Jack from Sequelisers
    Jul 3 2024
    The Art of the Heist: Why "Logan Lucky" is a Must-Watch Heist movies have been thrilling audiences for decades with their intricate plots, charismatic characters, and the undeniable rush from watching a well-crafted caper unfold. "Logan Lucky," directed by Steven Soderbergh, is an exceptional entry in this exciting genre. Here's why you should add it to your must-watch list. A Fresh Take on Familiar Territory At its core, "Logan Lucky" is about pulling off an impossible robbery. But rather than treading overused ground, it offers a fresh perspective by setting the action in the American South and infusing every scene with heart and humour. Channing Tatum leads as Jimmy Logan—a man determined to reverse his family's curse with one grand heist during a NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Star-Studded Performances That Charm The film boasts both grounded and delightfully over-the-top performances—none more so than Daniel Craig's Joe Bang, an explosives expert who steals every scene he’s in. The trio makes for an unforgettable team, with Adam Driver playing Jimmy’s one-armed brother Clyde and Riley Keough as their sister Mellie. The cast also includes cameos from actors known for beloved TV shows like Parks and Recreation, which adds another layer of enjoyment for fans who spot these familiar faces. Laughs That Keep You Engaged While some may expect “Logan Lucky” to be another high-stakes drama, it surprises viewers with genuine laughs throughout its runtime. Its Southern charm doesn't come across as cartoonish. Still, it endears you further to each character’s quirks—and let's not forget those comedic moments that land perfectly thanks to impeccable timing by the ensemble cast. Rewatchability Factor Through the Roof One key aspect where “Logan Lucky” shines is rewatchability; there’s always something new to notice upon subsequent viewings. Whether it's foreshadowing you missed or a line delivery that suddenly stands out—it keeps drawing you back for more fun discoveries. Perfect For Any Screen Size In today’s streaming-dominated world, not all films transition well from big screen to small screen, but “Logan Lucky” does so seamlessly. Without relying heavily on visual effects or expansive set pieces, it maintains its charm whether viewed on your home theatre or laptop screen. Final Thoughts “Logan Lucky” checks all the boxes when it comes to what makes a great film: engaging storylines full of twists and turns, memorable characters portrayed by talented actors, rewatch value through clever details, accessibility across viewing platforms, and loads of fun! If you haven’t yet experienced this gem—or even if you have—consider planning your next movie night around “Logan Luck.” It promises entertainment galore!
