176. Venom & Mandy

A few weeks ago, we saw our most anticipated film of 2018, Venom. When the credits rolled, we knew we couldn't review it straight away. This wasn't a movie where you can knock out 10 minutes of off-the-cuff rambling giving an instant reaction - this was an experience that we needed to spend time with, to mull over, to have many vivid, startling dreams about. Having filled whole notebooks with reflections on and tributes to Venom, gotten matching tattoos to commemorate seeing it together, and read the first issue of the tie-in comic, we are finally ready to present our review.Though we spend most of this episode trying to articulate our thoughts on the life-shattering movie Venom, we manage to squeeze in a review of the extremely metal revenge thriller Mandy, starring a losing-his-shit Nicolas Cage. We also talk about Tom Hooper's upcoming film adaptation of the world record holder for "musical featuring the most cats", Cats; we discuss Luca Guadagnino's decision to adapt a classic Bob Dylan album for whatever reason; and Danny reviews 49 other films.
