    Project Hail Mary | We Needed Roads Podcast Spoiler Special

    Welcome back to We Needed Roads, the podcast that proves you don’t need qualifications, training, or even basic emotional stability to be an astronaut...sorry review films on the internet, just a mic, a take, and the confidence of a man explaining astrophysics after two small beers.This week, we’re diving headfirst into Project Hail Mary—a story about a guy who wakes up alone in space, confused, terrified, and wildly underqualified… so basically, Jose on a Monday morning.Jose is here, ready to latch onto any weird alien creature like it’s his new best mate—or potential pet—and honestly, we’re one episode away from him trying to fire him into space.Marie’s here too, and look—statistically speaking, there’s a very high chance she’s about to emotionally imprint on something in this film. Could be a character, could be a concept, could be a rock spider with backstory—we’ll find out together.We’re talking science, survival, loneliness, existential dread, and whether humanity’s best hope is really just “send one bloke into space and hope for the best?' Yes, it is especially if that mans Ryan Gosling So grab your space suits, question your life choices, and remember—if this mission fails… it’s probably Jose's fault.Let’s get into it.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to people passionately argue about films and TV… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads

    Is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Better Than House of the Dragon? | We Needed Roads Podcast Review

    Tonight… we ride...Not in a DeLorean, not through time, but straight into muddy fields, dodgy taverns, and the most polite violence HBO has ever put on television — because we’re talking Season One of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.Yes, the smaller, scrappier, surprisingly heartfelt cousin to Game of Thrones — where the politics are quieter, the swords are still sharp, and the vibes are basically a tall guy and bald kid seek adventure And joining me on this noble quest are the finest knights in the realm…Sir Neil the Lore-Burdened, Keeper of Forgotten Truths, of the House EncyclopaediaA knight who has seen every tale, read every scroll, and yet cannot remember where he put his bloody sword.Knows more about cinema than the Citadel, sighs deeply at inaccuracies, and will casually drop knowledge so ancient even the maesters blink. Has “forgotten more films than most men have watched” etched on his shield.Sir David of the Night Cradle, Oathbound Father and Warden of the DreadA sworn knight of horror and sleepless nights.Battles demons on screen and nappies at dawn. Speaks softly of terror, screams loudly at jump scares, and refuses to follow Lady Marie into her latest obsession—declaring it “too much, even for the gods.”See Marie the Bannered Obsessive, She-Who-Chooses and Will Not Let GoOnce she pledges her heart to a tale, she will ride for it until the realm bends the knee.Bearer of the Rainbow Standard, wielder of Passion Unto Excess. When she loves a show, it becomes law. When she hates one, it is declared heresy. Entire seasons have been watched purely out of spite.Sir Luke the Red-Bearded Reader, of the Quiet WatchA thoughtful knight who carries books where others carry blades.Speaks less, but when he does, the realm listens. Chooses stories that break hearts and mend them again. Likely to recommend a tale so devastating it becomes legend—and then apologise for it.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to people passionately argue about films and TV… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#aknightofthesevenkingdoms #dunk&egg #gameofthrones #westeros

    Rental Family Spoiler Review | We Needed Roads Podcast

    🚨 SPOILER REVIEW 🚨In this episode of We Needed Roads, Neil and David sit down for a full spoiler discussion of Rental Family, a film that quietly sneaks up on you, wrecks your emotions, and then gives you a big, gentle cuddle afterwards.Neil goes all in, describing Rental Family as a warm hug of a film and argues that Brendan Fraser’s performance here hits harder and feels more honest than his Oscar-winning turn in The Whale. Yep. He said it. We talk found family, loneliness, emotional labour, understated filmmaking, and why Fraser’s performance works so well when it’s smaller, softer, and less shouty. David brings balance (and might be looking for his own Rental Family after his appalling intro), while both of us dig into what the film is actually saying beneath the sweetness.There are FULL SPOILERS throughout, so make sure you’ve seen the film before diving in.🧠 Emotional devastation🎭 Career-best Brendan Fraser chat💔 Warm, sad, funny, human stuff🤔 Is subtle Fraser better Fraser?Let us know in the comments:– Did Rental Family destroy you too?– Is Neil right?– Which Brendan Fraser performance hits you hardest?Like, subscribe, ring the bell, rent a family, etc.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to people passionately argue about films and TV… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#rentalfamily #hikaru #brendanfraser #japan

It’s tense, bleak, sharply funny, and edited within an inch of its life.⚠️ SPOILERS THROUGHOUT — do not watch this if you haven’t seen the film and care about going in clean.Let us know in the comments:👉 Would you commit murder for job security?👉 And what household object would absolutely get you caught straight away?Like, subscribe, prepare for some morally questionable hypotheticals because you have no other choiceIf you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to people passionately argue about films and TV… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#nootherchoice #parkchanwook #koreancinema

    Welcome to Derry Spoiler Special | We Needed Roads Podcast

    Welcome back to We Needed Roads, and this is your FULL SPOILER WARNING, because today we’re heading back to Derry… and nothing is safe. 🎈Neil, David and Luke dive headfirst into the storm drain of Welcome to Derry, HBO’s Stephen King–soaked return to the town that really should’ve been condemned decades ago. We’re turtles,, cursed history, nightmare fuel, and how this show plugs into the ever-expanding, deeply messed-up Stephen King verse.We break down what works, what absolutely doesn’t, how much lore is too much lore, and whether this prequel actually adds something meaningful to IT… or just proves that don't move to Derry? Expect deep cuts, wild theories, connections to other King adaptations, and at least one moment where someone says “wait… that means Pennywise has been doing this HOW long?!”And because no good idea goes unpunished, stick around for the post-credits scene, where David attempts the Pennywise dance — a moment so horrifying it may genuinely be the most upsetting thing discussed all episode. (now do the bow...)So grab your red balloons, avoid storm drains, and let’s talk Welcome to Derry… spoilers, trauma, and Stephen King multiverse chaos included.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about things that haven’t even released yet… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.com🎙 Our GuestLuke🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@the_howdybeans_podcast?lang=en-GB📸 https://www.instagram.com/the_gingerbook_worm/🐦 https://x.com/HowdyBeans_podHis podcast – The Howdy Beans Podcast:🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/74Pe9IWfTxxbVgEcTt47SG?si=b833c0f80fb442c9🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads #MoviePodcast #TVPodcast #WeNeededRoads #FilmTalk #GeekPodcast #MoviePreview #PodcastUK #FilmDiscussion #PopCulture #weneededroads #welcometoderry #stephenking #it #andymuschietti #pennywise

    What We've Been Watching | We Needed Roads Podcast

    Alright folks, welcome back to We Needed Roads. This week Neil, David, Jose and Luke are catching up on everything they watched over the holidays – a wildly unhinged mix of Christmas classics, (regular classics) and they even escaped the Christmas cheer to make it to the cinema several times!We’re diving into stone-cold legends like Jaws (still perfect), Home Alone (way darker than you remember), The Muppet Christmas Carol (still untouchable, regardless of the calendar), Gremlins (NOT a kids film), and It’s a Wonderful Life (emotionally devastating every single time).But it’s not all nostalgia – we also get into newer watches including new Christmas classic The Holdovers, Oh What Fun, Wake Up Dead Man, The Housemaid, Avatar:Fire & Ash. Luke also finally catches up with the Oscar winning Everything Everywhere All At Once and Neil laments the reception to Fackham Hall! Finally the guys dragged themselves out of food comas to the cinema to see Oscar hyped Marty Supreme & not Oscar hyped Anaconda and David took another trip to Pandora!So if your holiday watchlist went completely off the rails, this one’s for you. Expect hot takes, questionable opinions, and the usual chaos. This is We Needed Roads – let’s get into it. 🎬If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about things that haven’t even released yet… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.com🎙 Our Guest Luke🎵https://www.tiktok.com/@the_howdybeans_podcast?lang=en-GB📸 https://www.instagram.com/the_gingerbook_worm/🐦 https://x.com/HowdyBeans_podHis podcast – The Howdy Beans Podcast:🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/74Pe9IWfTxxbVgEcTt47SG?si=b833c0f80fb442c9🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#2026Movies #2026TV #MoviePodcast #TVPodcast #WeNeededRoads #FilmTalk #GeekPodcast #MoviePreview #PodcastUK #FilmDiscussion #PopCulture #weneededroads

    Top 10 Shows of 2025 l We Needed Roads Podcast

    We watched an irresponsible amount of television in 2025, and now it’s time to shout about it.On this episode of The We Needed Roads Podcast, we count down our Top 10 TV & streaming shows of 2025 — from prestige TV to the smaller show only Neil tried to make us watch.Join Neil who likely watched more TV than his other 3 co-hosts combined, Marie who checked out if it wasn't gay enough and also only seemed to rewatch the same 3 shows all year, David who luckily avoided the horrors of toddler TV but also because of parenting a tiny person had very limited TV time, and Jose who sent in a list of his top 3 shows (as opposed to 10) because either his amnesia is kicking in or he just watched a lot of mid-shows that didn't deserve a ranking.This list is correct.

    Peacemaker Season 2: An Unnecessary But Delightful Thrill Ride | We Needed Roads Review

    James Gunn’s Peacemaker is back for Season 2 — and after the success of Superman, Gunn brings his signature chaos he created in season 1 into the new DCU.The We Needed Roads crew teams up with @TheHowdyBeansPodcast to break down the wild mix of action, comedy, and trauma that makes Peacemaker one of DC’s most unpredictable shows.John Cena’s Peacemaker continues to wrestle with his demons (predominately daddy issues), Freddie Stroma’s Vigilante once again steals every scene, and Danielle Brooks’ Leota Adebayo gives the series its emotional core amid the madness.We dig into James Gunn’s balance of cheesy rock music, violent absurdity, and surprisingly heartfelt storytelling — and ask the big question: was Peacemaker Season 2 really necessary, or just ridiculously fun?
