Good Boy will be in UK Cinemas from 10th October

Me and J watch a film about a hecking good doggo



This game-changing supernatural horror is told from an entirely new perspective, that of man's best friend. Star of the movie, Indy, has already received acclaim for his gripping performance, winning SXSW Film Festival's coveted "Howl of Fame Award".

 

Directed by Ben Leonberg (The Fisherman's Wife) and produced by Kari Fischer, who are both Indy's real-life humans, Good Boy has already gained a devoted following. The film's cult status continues to soar among both fans and critics, with the film now boasting an impressive 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes*.

 

Critics have praised the film, with Dread Central saying it is "primed to be one of the most chilling movies of 2025." However, future fans have only been able to angst over Indy's fate. The film's recent trailer launch has caused a 2000% Google spike in searches over the film's ending. 

 

Good Boy follows a loyal dog as he moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.


Good Boy, will be coming to UK & Irish cinemas from 10th October.

Going on a Strange Journey with Rocky Horror and Joe

Are you a virgin?


This might be the film for you


Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is set for a UK release, with an exclusive first look at the new artwork. 

 

The film will celebrate its UK Premiere at Sheffield DocFest on 19th June, screening at SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival on 22nd June, before having its Irish Premiere at GAZE on August 3rd, with additional previews and festival screenings soon to be announced. Following its festival run, fans will be able to experience the ultimate ode to all things Rocky Horror in cinemas across the UK & Ireland from 3rd October.

 

In this SXSW hit, the cult phenomenon of Rocky Horror is explored in depth like never before with an extraordinary cast of contributors. 

 

From humble origins as a London fringe theatre play to its meteoric rise as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror Show. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture.

 

Adding an extra personal layer to this film, Strange Journey is directed by Linus O'Brien, son of the legendary Richard O'Brien, creator of the cult phenomenon. 

 

The documentary features revelatory interviews from the film's original cast including Tim Curry (Clue, It), Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise, Dead Man Walking), Barry Bostwick (Megaforce, Spin City), Patricia Quinn (Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, The Lords of Salem), and Nell Campbell (Great Expectations, Shock Treatment).

 

Celebrity fans such as Jack Black (A Minecraft Movie, School of Rock) and RuPaul's Drag Race winner Trixie Mattel also appear, sharing deeply personal reflections on Rocky Horror’s cultural impact.

K-Pop Demons hunters, K-Drama and "Bucket the movie" AKA The Drowned

In this show Nona Tells us about her love of KPop Demon hunters and talks general cinema love... also we talk about a bucket... A LOT!


We break the record on the banter part of the show essentially, with the review of the actual film we were supposed to cover starting about the 17:30 mark. If you're one of those folks who want to get right to the subject podcasts are supposed to be talking about



Sunrise Films and Vertigo Releasing are excited to announce their upcoming multi-territory release of Samuel Clemens’ debut feature The Drowned, starring Alan Calton (Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning), Lara Lemon (War Of The Worlds: The Attack) and Lily Catalifo (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), alongside Dominic Vulliamy (BBC One’s Rules Of The Game), Corrinne Wicks, Michelangelo Fortuzzi, and Sandrine Salyères.


Woven with references to Greek mythology, The Drowned follows three thieves who have just stolen a priceless painting and arrive at a secluded safe house by the sea, only to discover their fourth accomplice is missing. They must question whether one of them was responsible for her disappearance, or if the blame lies with a more sinister presence lurking in the deep water below.


The film, formerly known as The Waterhouse, premiered in London at FrightFest Halloween and will release via Sunrise Films on major digital platforms in North America on 7th October and in Australia and New Zealand on 8th October. Sister company Vertigo Releasing will release digitally on 6th October in the UK and Ireland.


The Drowned was produced by Agam Jain, George Clemens and Fernando Ruiz for Take The Shot Films, and James Kermack and Julien Loeffler for Featuristic Films. Raven Banner Entertainment is selling the film worldwide.

Bad Man Rob Jones

1 Film

2 Reviews from 2 Bad Men!

Part.2


This episode I'm talking to "Lovely" Rob Jones, who's turned heel while covering this straight to video action comedy.



Bad Man stars Sean William Scott (American Pie), Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street), Johnny Simmons (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Lovi Poe (Chelsea Cowboy), Andre Hyland (Barry), and marks the final film of the late Chance Perdomo (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). 

 

Bad Man is the debut feature from director Michael Diliberti, which he also co-wrote with JJ Nelson.

 

The small town of Colt Lake, Tennessee has a big meth problem. When murder strikes, Deputy Sam Evans is assigned the case. A former local sports star, Evans has fallen from grace in the eyes of the community he still holds dearly. No one takes him seriously or thinks he can get the job done.

 

Then hot shot Bobby Gaines arrives. An undercover agent with the state's Special Narcotics Task Force. He is immediately welcomed like a hero. Evans is forced to work the case with the new top dog in town. But as they dig deeper, all may not be what it seems with this strange new savior.

Queens of the Ring and Oodles

This podcast is scheduled for 2 fools. ThatFKingGuy and Oodles from Modern Escapism and Do Dragons Dream of Scorched Sheep, a man well known for his love of the art form known as professional wrestling. This week we're talking about the lady wrestler Mildred Burkes Biopic "Queen of the Ring". A film Oodles is shocked to find out is about REAL PEOPLE.


Queen of the Ring has an all-star line-up including Emily Bett Rickards (Arrow), Josh Lucas (Ford V Ferrari), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Francesca Eastwood (Juror #2), Cara Buono (Stranger Things), Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood), Damaris Lewis (BlackKkKlansman), with Gavin Casalegno (Noah) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus) completing the card. 

 

Queen of the Ring is a Sumerian Pictures Production, written and directed by Ash Avildsen (Paradise City). The film tells the remarkable true story of Mildred Burke, the first million-dollar female athlete in world history and the longest reigning champion of female wrestling. Based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jeff Leen, the film follows ‘Millie,’ a young single mother from a small town who defies societal norms by becoming a female pro-wrestler at a time when the sport was illegal across most of the United States.

 

Despite her success throughout the 40s and 50s, Millie's journey is marked by personal struggles, including raising her son on the road, the tragic death of her wrestling protégé in the ring and a tumultuous relationship with her manager and ex-husband, Billy Wolfe. 



 

Her story highlights triumphs such as being the first woman to headline over men, bringing women of colour into the sport, and participating in the first female "shoot match” i.e. real combat without a script for a title fight. Millie’s remarkable tale shattered the limitations of what a girl could become in entertainment and sports and is an unforgettable slice of post-war Americana.

 


Queen of the Ring

 captures the golden age of female pro-wrestling when one gritty, glamorous woman risked everything in her life to change culture forever. 


It will be available in select UK cinemas from 19th September.

1 Thing we learned from Row

Time for me and Mark Plant from 100 things we learned from film to call up Roy Castle and tell him about our world record attempt to do the most banter in a podcast, certainly safer and easier than traversing a large body of water in the smallest boat known to man.


It's been a while! I've not had any time off, it's just that everything has been under an embargo and we've not been able to actually release anything. Festival season INNIT!!!???


Yes, I am back on Acast, and as all my episode numbers disappeared in the move, lets just call this a new season.

Nonas Reckoning Takes Flight

It was at this point Dean realised he’d f***ed up

Nona found an advert for this film online, SWERVE!!! turns out the advert WAS the film. Join us as we fall down a rabbit hole of bizarre micro “films” that make us yearn for the days when Heather Graham was telling us about her sister being a drug addict.

Also includes a little wrestling talk. Apparently Rhea Ripley looks like she can carry a sofa bed upstairs by herself. Which is why I’ve added a gratuitous picture of her on the cover art to get a few bonus hits.

40 Acres, Bloodsport and Sloppy Sleepers

A little summer break and the worst of the heat has passed, not enough that Myself or Captain J want a laptop on our actual laps to watch an entire film though. We rage a little about a screener app, talk coffee and tea, then disagree on Bloodsports status as a legendary film before talking about 40 Acres… this film

Monday 7th July, London, UK: Vertigo Releasing is pleased to announce that they will be releasing the post-apocalyptic thriller 40 Acres in UK and Irish cinemas from 1st August.

Hailey Freeman (Deadwyler) and her family are the last descendants of African American farmers who settled in 1875 in rural Canada after the first Civil War. In a famine-decimated future they struggle to make their last stand against those intent on taking their home.

Starring Danielle Deadwyler (Till, I Saw The TV Glow, Carry-On), Kataem O'Connor (Murdoch Mysteries, Time Cut, Heartland), and Michael Greyeyes (The King Tide, 1923, Wild Indian), the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year to rave reviews from critics. 40 Acres is certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 91% critic score*.

40 Acres was directed by R.T. Thorne (Blindspot, The Porter), who brought over 20 years experience in directing to the production. 40 Acres is his feature debut, with a script he co-wrote with Glenn Taylor, and a story by Thorne and Lora Campbell (#Interns, Yoga 101).

Boo is back and were talking about the same film as last time. Well… not really but we may as well be. A comedy western featuring a large beloved actor who died before the release of the film (in this case before it was finished) and a Co-Star that died in 2024.

Wagons East!In the 1860s Wild West, a ragged bunch of misfit settlers decides they cannot stand living in their current situation and they hire a grizzled cowboy to take them on a journey back East to their hometowns.

Written and directed by Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, The Void), the comedy-horror is a homage to classic 80’s movies like Gremlins, Ghoulies and Critters.

After calling a late-night party hotline, Conor must battle the pint-sized forces of evil – led by Frankie Freako – unleashed through his phone line.

The film stars Conor Sweeney (Psycho Goreman), Adam Brooks (Dark Harvest) and Kristy Wordsworth (States of Mind).

Kostanski recently served as prosthetic makeup and effects lead on In A Violent Nature.

YouTuber Rich Evans (RedLetterMedia) voices Frankie’s nemesis, President Munch.

The World Premiere took place at Fantasia International Film Festival.

Almost Heroes

Time to have a look at a film from the 90’s we’ve never heard of, which for Farley fan Boo Lemont is kind of shocking.

That it’s a Christopher guest directed movie starring Matthew Perry , a man on the rise at the time makes it even more weird that it past us by. A madcap, screwball, laugh riot and a whole bunch of other 90’s standard tags Comedy that will have you rolling in the aisle with laughter… apparently

In 1804, Leslie Edwards, a foppish aristocrat, and the loud, low-brow Bartholomew Hunt are competing against the renowned Lewis & Clark to be the first to chart and make it across the United States to the Pacific Ocean. In the beginning of the film, Edwards has high hopes to head the first expedition to make it across the United States, but while he has ambition and funding, he has grown up sheltered and knows little of the wilderness he seeks to cross. To aid in his journey, he hires the services of a supposedly knowledgeable wilderness-man and tracker, Hunt, who, once they get underway, turns out to be less than advertised.

They are aided by a crew of varied, rugged and grizzled frontiersmen, including the group's version of Sacagawea, a young Indian woman by the name Shaquinna, who is integral in helping them find their way across the dangerous and unknown terrain ahead, as well as eventually becoming Edwards' love interest. Along the way, the group goes through various mishaps and ordeals such as having to deal with quirky, indigenous Indian tribes and vicious animals, a Conquistador named Hidalgo, as well as running out of food and romantic snafus, as Hunt's ineptness often causes more problems than it solves. Along the way, Edwards and Hunt's shared journey helps Edwards shed his aristocratic, snooty ways and he learns camaraderie and honor, as well as a more humble view of a world he thought he understood. Hunt finds true friendship in Edwards and a sense of self-confidence he had not known before.

After many hardships and setbacks, they eventually make it to the Pacific coast just minutes before Lewis and Clark's expedition; however, once the celebration is over, they find that they do not necessarily want to go back to their old lives and collectively decide to continue their adventure, leading Edwards and Hunt's expedition to further explore the great uncharted world.

Cannibal Mukbang

Nona is back and were talking Bagels, Lidl, Aldi Cherry flavour relentless and making a coffee in a jar of peanut butter… also we talk about a film we watched called Cannibal Mukbang

Starring Nate Wise, April Consalo & Clay von Carlowitz

CANNIBAL: "Any animal that eats its own kind"

MUKBANG: "A video, usually posted online, featuring a person eating large quantities of food, often while talking to the audience as if sharing a meal with them"

Shy and looking for love, Mark quickly becomes smitten with the outgoing and mysterious Ash, who somehow, much to his surprise, reciprocates the attraction. But as his feelings for her intensify, so does his unexpected submersion into Ash's biggest love: the wild world of mukbanging. And with it, lots of bloodshed.

Cannibal Mukbang is director Aimee Kuge's debut feature film. It explores our relationships with food, sexuality, and revenge and asks, "How far would you go in the name of love?"

Available on Digital Platforms from 9th JuneLINKS!

TotalCultZone presents....Another movie review podcast? Yeah, I guess so. I do mix it up a bit however by covering new, old, cult, forgotten, unknown, good, bad and ugly movies... Usually all in the same episode. While I will touch upon the popular films of the day, I'll also try my hardest to introduce you to something you didn't know about.It might be a good thing you didn't know about it, but that's a different story entirely.
