In this episode Mike, Steve and Amanda check out three new releases! As usual, click the links below to see a trailer for each film!

We kick off with WE BURY THE DEAD (Signature Entertainment), a thoughtful zombie movie starring Daisy Ridley!

GRIZZLY NIGHT (Lightbulb Film Distribution) is a drama based on the real life incident in 1967 when a national park suffered two deadly bear attacks in the same night.

TIM TRAVERS AND THE TIME TRAVELLER'S PARADOX (GrimmVision) has the most unwieldy title and involves a mad/brilliant scientist trying to put paradox theory into practice!

Our Short Shot is RESIDENCE, about a bunch of real estate agents being invited to view a new house on the market - with a deadly twist! Click the link to see the whole short film.

Our DTV Throwback is MONOLITH (1993), starring Bill Paxton, John Hurt and Louis Gossett Jr. We watched a copy on You Tube, which you can find HERE.

Our DTV Throwback is ARCTIC VOID, a Norwegian mystery film in which nearly all the passengers and crew of an arctic tourist vessel suddenly disappear, leaving a trio of film-makers marooned. We watched this on Amazon Prime; it may be available on other platforms as CIVIL TWILIGHT.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! This is our final episode of 2025 and we've managed to get not only Rich back on, alongside Mike, Steve and Amanda, but also Nathan Lunn, who had previously joined us for our 300th episode!

Unfortunately, however, the DTV market tends to dry up during the month of December so instead we have turned our attention to two highly anticipated films on Netflix - as usual, click the link to see a trailer for each film!

We kick off with WAKE UP DEAD MAN (Netflix), the third "Knives Out" film and probably one of THE most anticipated films of the year, in which Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc to solve a locked room murder mystery!

Next is TROLL 2 (Netflix), Roar Uthaug's sequel to the well-received Norse Kaiju movie!

Our Short Shot is NIGHTFALL - click the link to see the whole short film, and you may wish to check out their previous dino-flick, THE HATCHLING!

Instead of a Throwback this week, we end the show with a round-table looking at our favourite Top Five DTV titles of the year - take a listen and see if you agree!
