Join Lee, Darren, Jim and Elton as they waffle, wonder and jabber on about film, geek news, video games and any other tangential rubbish that spring to mind, before reviewing a movie from yesteryear. Removing the Rose Tinted Specs to see if a film really deserves its classic status or the Sh*t Covered Goggles to see if a bad film is actually as awful as its reputation.

  • Just a fun podcast

    Really like the structure of this podcast, as it’s just 4 mate talking about movies, TV Shows and gaming. Also some great banter between them and then they dive into the film they’ve picked for that week.

  • Like a pub conversation but at midnight and in separate homes over Zoom

    Four blokes creatively swear as they review films good, bad, and mediocre. The highlight, though, is the antics each host get up to over the recap of their weeks.

  • Hidden gem

    I got introduced to Black Dog through Jim Moon’s excellent Hypnogoria podcast. I don’t know why this isn’t a more talked about podcast, it’s hilariously funny and I love how broad their movie watching approach is. The recent Robocop episode had me in tears I was laughing so hard, and I recommend going back at least a year so you too can inflict, I mean, introduce the “was in he in Star Wars Episode…?” gag to your own family.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Colossus The Forbin Project (MCR Review Version)
Q: What did you think non-spoiler about Colossus The Forbin Project?
The film was seen as ahead of its time, suffused with bleak 1970s realism, and surprisingly relevant to discussions about AI autonomy and governance.
