Lucky Number Slevin & Numberblocks

We have an amazing special guest this week as we’re joined by Meeg who helped kickstart Bad Dads Film review  over three years ago and he picks up exactly where he left off, by not watching this weeks movie. My first car was a burgundy Fiesta with about 800,000 miles on the clock and a sticker of a dog on the rear right hand side window which was impossible to remove no matter how hard I tried which was not very. I don't remember what its number plate was; Peter might suggest a bar code would have been easier for me but then again he's a moron. We discuss the Top 5 Number Plates in movies and television and remember to record it all this time, no minor feat. LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN is one of the worst ever film titles and is also a good barometer of how tastes change because I distinctly remember enjoying the fast paced 2006 crime caper the first time I saw it, with its slick noughties dialogue, non-linear story-telling and dense twisty plot but this time round I found it convoluted, contrived and ridiculously pleased with itself, with a story that scarcely matters, dialogue too affected to be taken seriously and not a lot of interest going on thematically. If you're going to serve up something so self-satisfied and casually offensive you might as well try to create some kind of style that isn't just shamelessly ripping off Tarantino. Aimed at 2 year olds and above, NUMBERBLOCKS is a CBeebies tv series about anthropomorphic blocks of numbers obsessed with the basic mathematical functions, add, subtract, multiply and divide and is approximately 2.71828 times better than PAW PATROL or PJ MASKS or something similar. With little plot to speak of Sidey tired of this before it's 5-minute run time concluded but in fairness he's not precisely the target audience and also he did not vibe as hard as Peter and I did with the song that makes up the bulk of this week’s ten themed episode, Ten Again. You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.
