At the Movies with William Fletcher

Episode 156: Alien Franchise: Part 1

The next few episodes of the show will be massive retrospectives and this week will be the beginning of a retrospective of the Alien franchise with looks at the original 4 films as well as discussing the careers of each director and the Predator franchise.

Episode 155: SpongeBob SquarePants

After a more mature episode last week with Deadpool, we go to the opposite of the spectrum with a far more family oriented episode looking at SpongeBob SquarePants and the film franchise that has spawned from it.

Episode 154: Deadpool

The podcast makes it's return with a look at world of X-Men with a discussion on the Deadpool films as well as a look at the upcoming film and a state of the nation look at the MCU.

Episode 153: Little Shop of Horrors

The show is back after a nearly month's hiatus and it's time to look at one of my favourite films with Little Shop of Horrors. Not only do we talk about the film but we talk about film musicals, musicals in general and Nicolas Cage somehow. 

Episode 152: Inside Out

How else can we follow up Bad Boys? Well, we follow up with another look back at Pixar's filmography with Inside Out to tie into the release of its sequel. Be warned though, it might get a bit emotional this week. 

Episode 151: Bad Boys (with Allen Turing of Diminishing Returns)

After another extended break, the show has returned with a look at the Bad Boys franchise to tie into the upcoming release of Bad Boys: Ride or Die and I'm joined by special guest Allen Turing, host of the Diminishing Returns Podcast and the British Sitcom History Podcast. We talk about the films themselves as well as general film history of 90s action films, the career of Michael Bay and a talk of the current state of cinema. 

Episode 150: Planet of the Apes: Part 2

We conclude our brief Planet of the Apes retrospective with a look at Tim Burton's 2001 remake before really focusing on the Andy Serkis reboot trilogy to tie into the release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

 

Oh, and it's also the 150th episode!

Episode 149: Planet of the Apes: Part 1

We are starting a two part retrospective this week by looking back at the 1968 classic, Planet of the Apes as well as the 4 sequels which cause some slight anger and annoyance which leads to conversations on religion, the Simpsons and certain ethical time-travel problems.

Episode 148: The Incredibles

We are diving back into the realm of Pixar with a look back at a classic work of Pixar and it's less than incredible sequel. 

Episode 147: Alex Garland Filmography

After another brief hiatus, the show has returned with a retrospective look at the career of Alex Garland's directorial filmography plus a handful of pitstops with his earlier written work.

 

Also, apologies for some slightly warbly audio on my end. Everything should be back to normal for the next episode.
