It’s taken us 6 weeks but we’ve finally gotten back to the cinema and so this episode is mostly a big giant discussion on Tenet and whether it was worth the big wait.

We also go through some of the other random stuff we've been watching from Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Something a little different this month as we take advantage of a few days away by catching up with a classic of modern Irish cinema which (shamefully) neither of us had seen, The Crying Game. Yes, we knew about the infamous “twist” and all the awards that were showered upon Neil Jordan’s screenplay and directing, but somehow it had slipped through the net over the years…We’ll be back in a few weeks with a more conventional and structured podcast discussing the big October releases!The post Pod #78 – We watch ‘The Crying Game’, 1992’s most shocking film and legendary piece of Irish cinema appeared first on Spooool.ie.

We’re yet to see The First Purge, Sicario 2, Adrift, The Endless or The Incredibles 2.And there’s a few words on upcoming releases Don’t Worry He Won’t Get Far on Foot, Skyscraper and Mission Impossible – Fallout.And because MI6 is out, we wrap up with a rewind look back at Brian de Palma’s 22-year-old Mission Impossible effort.The post Pod #76 – What’s coming to Galway Film Fleadh 2018?

We’re back in the podcasting saddle for a look at three big heavy-hitting blockbusters – Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Deadpool 2, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Beyond that The Breadwinner, Tully, Lean on Pete and Book Club are also up for discussion.And no-one seems to be talking about Cineworld’s new 4DX enhanced motion experience screen. Your seat moves, you get water sprayed on you and a machine punches you in the back. It’s a few quid more, but is absolutely gas.

BEST OF 2017 | WORST OF 2017 | NIGEL’S TOP 10 | PÁRAIC’S TOP 10 | FRIENDS OF SPOOOOLAnd so for the SIXTH year running, here we are with our annual chat through the best films of the year.Back in 2012, in our first ever podcast, we anointed The Perks of Being a Wallflower as the year’s stand-out feature, since then we’ve had the brilliant Frances Ha (2013) and the sumptuous The Guest (2014) take top spot. A change in format and splitting up our favourites came in 2015 for Carol and Inherent Vice, and then of course last year saw Everybody Wants Some and Midnight Special share the spoils.We hope to have our individual write-ups on these lists in some separate posts shortly, but for now don’t forget to follow to check out on the ‘Worst of 2017‘ to see what to avoid…Páraic’s Top 1010.

BEST OF 2017 | WORST OF 2017 | NIGEL’S TOP 10 | PÁRAIC’S TOP 10 | FRIENDS OF SPOOOOLBetween us we’ve seen about 150 new releases this year, but we’re not claiming to have seen everything that hit screens. So it goes without saying that many of those titles with the atrocious Rotten Tomatoes ratings are not up for discussion here.What’s also worth noting is the presence of films that were much-anticipated and then were bitterly disappointing. Is there anything worse than going into a new release with high hopes, and then having them dashed?Anyway listen to the full podcast below for the full breakdown of what let us down in 2017.Páraic and Nigel’s Worst Films of 2017 (Nigel in Blue, Páraic in Red…)Hacksaw RidgeA Ghost StoryPersonal ShopperNerudaSingMindhornAtomic BlondeTransformers: The Last KnightKong: Skull IslandThe Killing of a Sacred DeerBaywatchDeathnoteRough NightGirls Trip SnatchedGeostormBEST OF 2017 | WORST OF 2017 | NIGEL’S TOP 10 | PÁRAIC’S TOP 10 | FRIENDS OF SPOOOOLThe post Pod #69 – The Worst Films of 2017 appeared first on Spooool.ie.

It’s been a few weeks since we talked (with microphones present), so an absolute load of films to review. Lots of them we saw together, and lots of them we really liked, so listen in. And yes Páraic did give The Florida Project 2 stars. #Shocker. Anyway the excitement got too much for us and all the excitement led to the audio dropping out for a bit at the five minute mark, so apologies for the 90 seconds where it sounds like we’re recording in a dust-bin. Just skip past it if it bothers you…We’ll be back next week with the WORST FILMS OF 2017 and of course our favourite pod every December… THE BEST FILMS OF 2017.The post Pod #68: Review Bumper Bonanza!

It’s taken us a fortnight but we’ve finally gotten our head around Blade Runner 2049, and its place in modern film history. How does it compare to the 1982 that inspired it? Listen in to find out.Oh and we do get side-tracked midway through chatting about a certain Mr. Harvey Weinstein.The post Pod #67: Blade Runner(s) spoilers chat…. and the Harvey Weinstein problem appeared first on Spooool.ie.

This month it’s a rare one as we’ve got four new films and all four are worth your time and money – The Death of Stalin, The Meyerowitz Stories (Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler FTW!), The Party, and Daphne.Also from the 22:45 mark we break down Dublin’s new kid on the block – The Stella Cinema (whose demise we’ve lamented before) – which will be a snazzy boutique cinema costing you €19 a ticket. We’re excited.From 25:10 will anyone really care about The Savoy Cinema’s closure of the giant Screen 1? Also what the hell is up with the escalator in Dublin’s Cineworld?Also previews of Thor: Ragnorak and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.The post Pod #66 – Adam Sandler’s best film in 15 years! appeared first on Spooool.ie.
