Failed Critics Podcast: Take-a-Break Hour

Welcome to this week's Failed Critics Podcast where hosts Steve Norman and Owen Hughes were joined by both Callum Petch and Andrew Brooker to review three new releases! Book-ending Callum's film-reviewing life in education with trips to Wonderland, he reveals that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is the worst blockbuster of the 2010's - and why Alice Through The Looking Glass is no better. We also review Warcraft: The Beginning, confusing Steve no end as he can't tell the difference between it and Warhammer (direct your outrage to @FailedSteve). Finally, we collectively agree that Shane Black's noir-comedy The Nice Guys is nice, guys. Before all of that in What We've Been Watching: Owen puts on his shades and sees They Live for the first time (in years); Brooker peels himself away from the PCC in London after a big-screen showing of True Romance; Callum completes his own Tarantino collection with Inglorious Basterds; and Steve stops watching football documentaries for two minutes to take in Will Smith's portrayal of Muhammed Ali in the biopic of the legendary sportsman's life. The quiz this week was a little different to normal, as Steve, Callum and Brooker had the full length of the episode to work out the following 10 anagrams, all of which relate in some way to The Nice Guys: 1 - Teardrop, 2 - Anal Hole Wept, 3 - Usable Cyst Tooth, 4 - Screw Sue Roll, 5 - Inches Ye Tug, 6 - Gas Ring Only, 7 - Gamin Be Irks, 8 - A Sank Belch, 9 - Ah Kiddie TV, 10 - Iron Hosted on Acast.
