Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Thursday Feb 16, 2023
Thursday Feb 16, 2023
This week we continue 2018 season with Sam's pick, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. We watched these films a month ago so excuse your host as he forgets what order the film took place in, and even what happened. Alex gives us some deep Marvel lore, Sam can't stop talking about the animation, and Chris is enjoying himself despite this being both a superhero film and animated.
Next week, 2018 season concludes with listener pick, A Quiet Place!

2018 season continues with Alex's pick, Sorry to Bother You, a dystopian tale of capitalist gone mad. Join us for white voice confusion, an anti-capitalist rant from guess who, the usual concern about the state of everything and a twist nobody saw coming. And we also find time to add another film to the new list!And correspondence too? It's the podcast that keeps giving! And then ends.
Next week (hopefully) we watch Sam's pick for 2018 film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse!
[for those that have asked- a visual representation of the new list is coming very soon!]

Friday Jan 13, 2023
WATCH THIS EPISODE IN FULL-ON HD GLORY
This week we conclude our introduction to the ground-breaking new Rating System 2.0 with six more rankings. Join us as we test the limits of the algorithm and get our TILT on.
And this week, the video worked entirely properly (ish), so join us on YouTube right here for uninterrupted footage of the three of us rating, ranking and going FULL TILT. There's even video clips and stuff playing a bit. Guaranteed ever so slightly less amateur-ish than last week.
Want more video? Not fussed? Let us know by commenting or emailing us or whatever. We may do more. We'll see.
Next week, it's back to ranking films, with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

SEE THE FIRST EVER SFRS VIDEO PODCAST HERE!
New year, new us! We're back with a bang, starting 2023 with an entirely new list. Join us as we explain how the new science-based ranking system works and as we put the system into practice by ranking six films. It's an admin heavy week, but trust us, it will all be worth it.
And if that's not enough, this is also the first ever video version of the podcast! Predictably, it all went a bit wrong, but the episode is available to watch on YouTube, with our lovely faces and a list to gawp at in extreme amateur hour glory! Here's a link! Be warned, we really, really don't know what we're doing
Next week, a bunch more re-rankings to get the list up and running before we get back to normal!

This week, we watch Richard Kelly's follow-up to list darling Donnie Darko, it's Southland Tales! Go and watch it and then come back. Confused? Fair enough.
Join us as we all struggle to explain what the hell is going, get the film wrong, the bible wrong, and generally just blow our minds, and then Sam talks about the comic prequel and everything gets even more confusing. Also, there's impromptu reviews of Jumanji and River Cruise (??)
Next week, it's time for a bit of horror with Mimic!
