    Episode # 385 The Matrix with Rich and T.A Shelano from The Middle-aged Bodcast
    2025/07/10
    Rich and T.A Shelano from The Middle-aged Bodcast join Flixwatcher to review Rich’s choice The Matrix. The Matrix (1999) is the genre blending sci-fi action film written and directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski. Set in dystopian future where humans have been dominated by AI and trapped inside a simulated reality called the ‘Matrix’. In the year 1999, Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a computer hacker who also goes by the name Neo, his online activity alerts both fellow hackers and Agents, notably Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). He meets with Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) who explains that Morpheus (Laurence Fishbourne) believes him to be the “One” who will help them break free from the Matrix. It is impossible to avoid the influence The Matrix had on filmmaking and popular culture. The “bullet time’ visual effect and wire work was highly influential on action films. Its terms around red pill / blue pill philosophy have been reused and even adopted by the alt-right. Recommendability scores for The Matrix were very high, losing points only on the small screen and it scores 4.53 overall.

  • Episode # 384 Don’t Worry Darling Liz Slade and Katie from Filmhounds Magazine and podcast

    Episode # 384 Don’t Worry Darling Liz Slade and Katie from Filmhounds Magazine and podcast
    2025/07/04
    Liz Slade and Katie (Filmhounds Magazine and podcast) Hogan join Flixwatcher to review Liz’s choice Don’t Worry Darling. Don’t Worry Darling (2022) is a psychological thriller drama directed by Olivia (Booksmart) Wilde written by Katie (Booksmart) Silberman. Florence Pugh stars as Alice with Harry Styles as her husband Jack who live in an idyllic 1950s company town. In the day the men go to work and the wives, including Olivia Wilde as Bunny, Alice's neighbor and best friend and Gemma Chan as Shelley, are left to clean, shop and cook for their hardworking husbands. Strange things start happening to Alice as she begins to question her surroundings and the purpose of Victory. The behind the scenes of Don’t Worry Darling is perhaps more exciting than the actual film, from the casting issues to the on set affair and the chaotic press tour it arrived to screens bringing lots of drama. The film failed to live up to its premise and what we got was a shiny but confusing hot mess. Despite its flaws Flixwatcher and guests would still recommend, mainly due to Florence Pugh’s performance and Don’t Worry Darling scores 3.25 overall.

  • Episode # 383 Chef with Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast

    Episode # 383 Chef with Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast
    2025/06/26
    Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Fran’s choice Chef. Chef (2014) is a comedy drama road trip film, written, directed and starring Jon (Iron Man) Favreau. Also starring Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr. Miami Chef Carl Casper is the head chef at a popular LA restaurant but clashes with the restaurant owner over the menu. When he receives a negative food review from a prestigious food critic and blogger Ramsey Michel he unintentionally starts a Twitter (hello 2014!) spat. After a failed attempt to serve innovative cuisine to Michel and redeem his status, Casper quits and decides to take his food on the road in a food truck and drag his son along for the ride. Chef is a charming and easy going film, even if it is occasionally a vehicle for Favreau’s ego. If you enjoy food and hold nostalgia for a time when Twitter was a fun social media platform then Chef is the film for you. Chef scores highly across all categories apart from repeat viewing to give an overall rating of 3.70.

  • Episode # 381 Pig with Luke Tomlinson and Ash Farkas

    Episode # 381 Pig with Luke Tomlinson and Ash Farkas
    2025/06/11
    Luke Tomlinson (Impropod Podcast) and Ash Farkas join Flixwatcher to review Ash’s choice Pig. Pig (2021) is a drama about a ex-chef and his beloved foraging pig. Written and directed by Michael (A Quiet Place: Day One) Sarnoski it stars Nic Cage as Robin ‘Rob’ Feld the reclusive truffle-forager and Alex Wolff as Amir, an inexperienced buyer and seller for luxury restaurant ingredients. One night Rob is attacked and beaten, at the same time his pig is stolen. Rob enlists the help of Amir to track down his pig and help him gain information he needs. Pig is a revenge film but not the type you might expect. Anyone expecting a John Wick/Taken approach will probably be disappointed. It is meditative look at life and food and the choices we make. Recommendability scores were pretty solid. With a runtime of 92 minutes it also scored well for repeat and engagement to give an overall score of 3.90.

    Episode # 380 Ariana Grande: Excuse Me, I Love You with Dr. Andrew Johnstone and Jason Heat from Seemingly Unrelated podcast
    2025/06/04
    Dr. Andrew Johnstone and Jason Heat from Seemingly Unrelated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Andrew’s choice Ariana Grande: Excuse Me, I Love You. Ariana Grande: Excuse Me, I Love You (2020) is a Netflix documentary that follows the Grammy-winning, multi-platinum singer-songwriter around the globe on her sold out 2019 Sweetener World Tour. To be filed under one for the fans only. There is very little insightful footage to be found here in the 1 hour 37 minutes. It does feature 25 songs performed by Ariana Grande so if that is something you’d like to watch then this is for you. There are music films (Rocketman) and documentaries (Amy) that transcend genres and interest to reach a wide audience, this is not one of them. Unsurprisingly the recommendability scores were very low, there was nothing compelling enough to engage non fans and the overall score is 1.82.

  • Episode # 379 The Net with Smith and Stew from It Doesn’t Hold Up podcast

    Episode # 379 The Net with Smith and Stew from It Doesn’t Hold Up podcast
    2025/04/02
    Smith and Stew from It Doesn’t Hold Up podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Smith’s choice The Net. The Net (1995) is an action thriller staring Sandra Bullock as a systems analyst from producer turned director Irwin Winkler. Angela Bennett (Bullock) a single, permanently online systems analyst gets involved in a conspiracy when she unknowingly receives a floppy disk with confidential information. On vacation she meets Jack (Jeremy Northam) who under the guise of a holiday romance tries to kill Angela. She manages to escape but quickly discovers her identity has been erased online. The Net is a film that shows us the thrills of ordering pizza online and the indestructible floppy disk. Time has not been kind to films about ‘the internet’ from the 1990s and The Net is no exception. There is no reason for this film to be two hours but it is! This is reflected in the scoring and The Net scores 2.49 overall.

Brian and Charles (2022) is a Welsh comedy drama directed by Jim Archer with a screenplay by David Earl and Chris Hayward, who also star in the film.

On one of his scavenger trips he finds a mannequins head and he decides to create a robot to keep him company. During a thunderstorm the robot is activated and takes on a personality of his own called Charles Petrescu (Chris Hayward). Brian and Charles is a quirky and warm hearted film about friendship, loneliness and self discovery. It won’t be for everyone, but if this is your thing you’ll have a lot of fun with it. Recommendability scores reflected its quirkiness and Brian and Charles scores 3.71 overall.
