Tremors (1990): The Movie Dune Could've Been If It Had Just Tried Less... 14.09.2026 58minBen and Rob head underground for Tremors, Ron Underwood's 1990 monster comedy that turned a killer-worm B-movie premise into one of the most beloved cult classics of the home-video era. Directed by Underwood in his feature debut, from a script by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, the film stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross and Reba McEntire (in her acting debut) as the residents of an isolated Nevada town who discover something enormous is hunting them from beneath the dirt.What did it actually take for two writers to get this thing made on their own terms, and where did an idea this strange even come from in the first place? What was going on in Kevin Bacon's career that made this the role he took and the one he'd spend years trying to distance himself from before changing his mind entirely? How much of what makes this monster still work comes down to old-fashioned, hands-on craft rather than anything flashy? And when the film itself keeps daring you to guess where these things came from, is that an open question worth taking seriously, or the whole point of the joke?And finally… what does it really mean?!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcastIf you enjoyed the show and want more, head on over to Patreon and enjoy heaps of exclusive content there!

Obsession (2026): Shoestring Horror Makes Cinematic History AKA Self Milking Men feat. James Bertie 10.09.2026 58minBen and Rob make a wish on a One Wish Willow and immediately regret it, joined this week by James Bertie for a deep dive into the low budget horror romance that somehow outgrossed Scream 7, Backrooms, and pretty much every other genre film released in 2026. Directed by Curry Barker and starring Michael Johnston as lovesick Bear and Inde Navarrette as his increasingly ominous crush-turned-obsession Nikki (with able comic backup from Andy Richter), Obsession is the story of a Faustian bargain gone spectacularly, hilariously wrong.The trio dig into how Barker builds dread on a shoestring, the slow burn tension of Nikki's increasingly unsettling attempts at being romantic, while somehow keeping the film laced with genuine, quotable comedy throughout. They trace Bear and Nikki's character arcs from meet cute to nightmare fuel, unpack what the film is actually saying about obsession, wish fulfillment, and modern romance under the hood of all that supernatural mayhem, and go behind the scenes on the low budget, high ingenuity making of a movie nobody saw coming.James Bertie is one of our favourite people, he's a very talented comedian and a lovely, wholesome fella to boot, please go and show him some love here: https://www.instagram.com/mrjamesbertie/ <3PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month!

The Cell (2000): ... What? 30.08.2026 1t 3minBen and Rob strap into the neural interface for ‘The Cell’, Tarsem Singh’s hallucinatory 2000 psychological thriller that turned a serial killer plot into one of the most visually audacious studio films of its era. Directed by Tarsem (billed under his mononym for his feature debut), the film stars Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D’Onofrio, and plunges a child psychologist into the comatose mind of a killer to save his latest victim before time runs out.How did a music video director best known for R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” end up helming a big-budget studio thriller, and what did that background do to the way this film actually looks? What exactly is going on with the costume design, and how much of the film’s dream logic was built in the fitting room rather than the script? Why does a movie this committed to style over sense still hold up as a genuine visual achievement more than two decades later, and is “it doesn’t need to make sense” really a defence, or is that exactly the point?And finally… what does it really mean?!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month!

Destination Moon (1950): Your Favourite Movie's Favourite Movie 23.08.2026 1t 3minBen, Rob and Amber blast off with ‘Destination Moon’, the 1950 science fiction landmark that helped launch an entire decade of space age cinema. Directed by Irving Pichel, produced by George Pal and developed with legendary sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein, Destination Moon stars John Archer, Warner Anderson, Tom Powers and Dick Wesson as the crew of the first privately funded mission to the Moon. Released nearly twenty years before Apollo 11, the film treated space travel with a seriousness that helped reshape what science fiction could look like on screen.Did Destination Moon really start the 1950s sci-fi boom, and how scientifically serious was its vision of travelling to the Moon? What did the film predict correctly, what did it get spectacularly wrong, and how did its ideas eventually cross paths with the real world of NASA? How were its groundbreaking special effects achieved; why does its politics now seem astonishingly naive; and if Destination Moon had such an enormous impact on science fiction and popular culture, why has almost everyone forgotten it?

Backrooms (2026): From Unclogging A Drain To Petting A Bee 17.08.2026 1t 4minBen and Rob noclip into ‘The Backrooms’, Kane Parsons’ 2026 A24 horror debut that transforms the viral internet creepypasta and his Kane Pixels YouTube series into a feature length nightmare. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve and Mark Duplass, ‘The Backrooms’ follows a struggling furniture store owner who discovers an impossible doorway beneath his shop, and the therapist who follows him into an endless maze of liminal spaces.How did a teenager teaching himself Blender during lockdown go from YouTube animator to directing one of A24’s biggest movies? How did a single creepy photograph become one of the internet’s biggest horror myths, and how much of the Backrooms mythology did Kane Parsons actually invent? What does The NeverEnding Story have to do with any of this?! And is the real monster hiding in those yellow corridors actually regret?

Them! (1954): Sci Fi Trilogy Part 2 - The Birth Of The Big Bug Invasion 09.08.2026 59minBen and Rob get stepped on this week by 1954's Them!, the black-and-white creature feature that took Cold War nuclear dread and gave it nine feet of legs, mandibles, and a taste for sugar.Starring Edmund Gwenn (yes, Santa Claus himself) as the entomologist explaining that mankind has opened a door it can't close, alongside James Whitmore and a pre-Gunsmoke James Arness, Them! follows a colony of New Mexico ants mutated by atomic testing into man-eating monsters, working their way from the desert into the storm drains of Los Angeles before the military can stop them.We'll get into the cultural context that turned giant bugs into box office gold, how a country nervously reading about A-bomb tests in the Southwest turned that anxiety into a monster it could actually shoot at. We'll cover the special effects: full-scale mechanical ant puppets, and a shrieking sound effect that was drove Rob to the brink of BURN IT ALL DOWN. And we'll trace the lasting legacy through the years; how a movie whose budget got slashed days before shooting somehow became Warner's biggest hit of the year and spawned an entire decade of giant-bug knockoffs.And finally... what does it really mean?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month!

The Odyssey (2026): The First Film In History To Succesfully Get Matt Damon Home In 100% IMAX 02.08.2026 1t 11minBen and Rob are joined this week by a very special third mast, guest host Amber Poppit for an episode covering Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the $250 million, 100% IMAX 70mm adaptation of Homer's original road trip gone wrong epic.Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca who spends a decade failing to simply go home, alongside Tom Holland as his son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as long suffering wife Penelope, The Odyssey rounds out its absurdly stacked cast with Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron as Circe, and Zendaya as Athena; the goddess whose entire arc has the internet arguing about whether she's a deity, a vision, or a guilt trip with cheekbones. It is, depending on who you ask, either Nolan's most ambitious swing yet or yet another film maker desperately trying to get Matt Damon home.Ben, Rob, and Amber dig into the "shot entirely on IMAX film" claim and what that actually means for a movie shot across real-world locations instead of a soundstage, the casting choices that had half of Film Twitter cheering and the other half frothing at the mouth, what this interpretation of Homer's The Odyssey is doing for culture and cinema as a whole, Ben proves without a doubt that we live in a time of apparent magic and the 3 embark on a journey almost as epic as The Odyssey itself.

Attack Of The 50ft. Woman (1958): The Throwaway Cash Grab Side-Hustle B-Movie That Is Still Revelant Nearly 70 Years Later! 27.07.2026 58minBen and Rob shrink themselves down to size this week to tackle a woman who did the opposite: 1958's Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, the black-and-white B-movie that proved you don't need a budget, you just need a giant papier-mâché hand and a grudge.Starring Allison Hayes as Nancy Archer, a wealthy heiress who has a close encounter, gets a lot bigger, and decides it's finally time to deal with her cheating husband Harry and his mistress Honey, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is fifty-plus feet of scorned-wife rage wrapped in some of the most gloriously unconvincing special effects of the decade.Behind the scenes facts, the movie's "logic" (giant hand, tiny bar, you do the math), and the story of a director who liked the job so little he put a fake name on it. We'll cover who didn't make it out of this production alive, how a film this cheap and this weird somehow clawed its way to cult classic status, and exactly how those effects were pulled off with rear projection, oversized props, and a whole lot of nerve.And finally... what does it really mean?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcastGET 20% OFF CINEWORLD UNLIMITED MEMBERSHIP WITH DISCOUNT CODE: ' TEL013 ' You're Welcome! -
Spiderman 3 (2007): With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility AKA The Franchise Killer 19.07.2026 1t 2minBen and Rob shoot their webs all over 2007 to dissect the $258 million fever dream that is Sam Raimi's Spider Man 3, the movie that had four villains, a jazz club, an emo dance number, and somehow still wasn't the strangest thing Sam Raimi did that decade.We trace the making of this notoriously overstuffed threequel, from studio pressure to cramming in Venom, to Topher Grace's freakish, some may say gimpy, get up, to the reshoots and the runtime battles. Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church, Spider Man 3 follows Peter Parker as fame goes to his head, an alien goo goes to his hair, and Harry, Eddie and Flint Marko all queue up to ruin his week.Behind-the-scenes facts, the movie's "logic" (we use that word generously), and the eternal question of how a man can walk down the street snapping his fingers and still be the scariest version of himself in the entire franchise.

Snakes On A Plane (2006): The Best Thing To Come Out Of WWII... AKA Snakes Together Long 12.07.2026 56minBen and Rob fly first class back to 2006 to federally investigate a $33 million B-movie that somehow became one of the most anticipated films of the internet age, before a single trailer even dropped. This episode traces how Snakes on a Plane went from a modest 1992 spec script to a title so absurdly perfect that Samuel L. Jackson signed on for the name alone.We dig into the film's tangled decade-long road to the screen, the fan campaigns and internet memes that forced New Line Cinema to re-re-name the film mid-production, and how a movie built almost entirely on hype became a genuine case study in viral marketing before "going viral" was even a phrase people used.Plot hole's galore, Sam Jackson being Sam Jackson and the best thing to come out of WWII... All truth facts that arre fully, undoubtedly proven.... Probably. Finally, we ask the bigger question: what does it really mean?! And can Rob finally get us cancelled?

Spiderman 2 (2004): Why Is This The Stickiest Superhero Movie? 05.07.2026 56minBen and Rob swing into ‘Spider-Man 2’, Sam Raimi’s beloved 2004 superhero sequel that transformed a comic book blockbuster into one of the most emotionally enduring films of its genre. Starring Tobey Maguire, Alfred Molina, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Rosemary Harris and J.K. Simmons, Spider-Man 2 follows Peter Parker as he struggles to balance responsibility, romance and heroism, while facing the tragic rise of one of Marvel’s greatest villains.Why does Doctor Octopus remain one of cinema's most enduring comic book villains, and what makes Alfred Molina the perfect actor to bring him to life? How close did Tobey Maguire come to losing the role?

They Live (1988): CONSUME, OBEY, CONSUME, OBEY, CONSUME, OBEY 29.06.2026 1t 1minBen and Rob intercept the frequency in John Carpenter's They Live (1988), starring Roddy Piper as a man with nothing, Keith David as a man with just enough left to lose, and an entire ruling class of skull-faced aliens doing their most convincing work in business suits. What begins as the story of how a six-page pulp story from 1963, written by a man almost nobody has heard of, adapted into a comic nobody much read, ended up in the hands of a furious filmmaker who wanted to give the finger to a sitting president slowly develops into something considerably larger; a conversation about the collision of rage, resourcefulness, and sheer unlikely chemistry that produced one of the most politically precise films Hollywood has ever accidentally greenlit and whether a B-movie with a four-million-dollar budget and rubber alien masks is secretly one of the most important documents of the twentieth century.And finally… what does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast -
Spiderman (2002): Don't Come In Aunt May... 22.06.2026 56minBen and Rob sling their way back to 2002 and into the webbed world of Spider-Man, Sam Raimi's blockbuster that somehow managed to turn decades of comic book history, a nervous Tobey Maguire, and a maniacally committed Willem Dafoe into one of the defining superhero movies of the modern era. Along the way they untangle the long and surprisingly complicated journey that brought Marvel's most famous character to the big screen, explore the creative team that assembled around Raimi, and ask how a filmmaker best known for chainsaws, demons and severed hands ended up making one of the most sincere and influential comic book films ever released.But that's only part of the story. Away from the set, Sam and his brother Ted Raimi have spent decades filling their movies with elaborate pranks, recurring cameos and a family atmosphere that borders on organised chaos. So what exactly were the Raimis getting up to when they weren't making movies? And why does Ted seem to appear everywhere? Plus, the pair take a dive into some of the wilder theories surrounding the film.And finally, beneath all the upside-down kisses, Thanksgiving dinners and airborne pumpkin bombs, what is Spider-Man really about?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast -
Sunlight (2024): It's A Mentally Able Episode 15.06.2026 56minBen and Rob disappear into the monkey suit and hit the dusty New Mexico road with Sunlight (2024), the feature directing debut of Nina Conti, co-written with and co-starring Shenoah Allen, with Bill Wise and Melissa Chambers rounding out the cast. What begins as a tale built around a familiar prop from Conti's ventriloquism act slowly unfolds into something far more layered; a conversation about a desperate, near-mythical journey from stage gimmick to fully realised film, a writing process built almost entirely on improvisation and trust between two performers, and a story that somehow uses a sweaty, full-body monkey costume to say something about grief, trauma, and the long road back to facing reality.How does an act this strange and specific make the leap from comedy stage to feature film? When a script is built on improvisation rather than a traditional draft, what gets lost and what gets gained, and how do two co-writers find a shared rhythm inside that chaos? Beneath the absurdity, what is Sunlight actually saying about mental health, about a man who has survived his own worst moment, and about a woman who would rather live inside a costume than face what happened to her? And finally, when the mask comes off, literally or otherwise, what does Sunlight really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast -
The Lawnmower Man (1992): What In The Omnipotent Cyber God Just Happened? 07.06.2026 1t 5minBen and Rob strap themselves into the feedback loop and jack all the way in to The Lawnmower Man, directed by Brett Leonard and starring Pierce Brosnan, Jeff Fahey, Jenny Wright, and Mark Bringelson. What begins as a deceptively simple fable about a gentle simpleton turbocharged into a god by virtual reality and experimental drugs slowly mutates into something far weirder; a conversation about the most chaotic production history in early nineties Hollywood, the strange economy of Stephen King's name and exactly what it takes for him to legally disown your film, the accidental genius of low-rent CGI as a vessel for genuine existential dread, and whether a movie about a lawnmower man becoming an omnipotent digital deity has turned out to be less science fiction and more uncomfortable Tuesday.What even is virtual reality as cinema understood it in 1992, and how does that fever dream vision compare to the surveillance-soaked, algorithm-shaped reality we actually ended up inside? How did this film pass through so many hands, studios, and creative crises that its very authorship became a legal battlefield? Is there something genuinely prophetic buried beneath the laughable polygon graphics and the mulleted hubris, or are we simply pattern-matching onto a movie that got lucky? Who is Jobe before the machines get hold of him, why does his innocence matter so much to the film's horror, and what is the movie actually saying about who gets experimented on and why? And why does a film this ridiculous, this campy, this thoroughly of its moment, still manage to leave something cold and unsettling lodged in the back of the mind long after the credits roll?And finally… What does it all mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast -
The Surfer (2024): A Short, Sharp Shock Of Violence On The Shore 01.06.2026 1t 13minBen and Rob dive headfirst into the churning, sun bleached chaos of The Surfer, directed by Lorcan Finnegan and starring Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon, Finn Little, and Nick Warnock. What begins as a straightforward tale of a man trying to reclaim his boyhood beach slowly mutates into something far stranger; a conversation about exploitation cinema, Australian genre filmmaking, territorial masculinity, mob psychology, class warfare, and whether Nicolas Cage has quietly delivered one of the most unhinged yet precisely calibrated performances of his entire career.What even is an exploitation movie and does The Surfer wear that label as a badge of honour or a disguise? How did a distinctly Australian filmmaking tradition turn low budgets and sun scorched paranoia into an art form all its own? Who is the old man in the car park, why does he linger so long in the memory, and what is he actually doing in this film on a deeper level? Why does this story, a man systematically stripped of status, dignity, and sanity by a pack of territorial gatekeepers, feel so peculiarly timely?

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2012): Smarter Than All Of Us...? 24.05.2026 59minBen and Rob conclude their journey through Panem with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two, directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland. What begins as one final YA franchise finale slowly mutates into something far stranger; a conversation about propaganda, blockbuster filmmaking, dead children, sewer monsters, wigs, merchandising, oligarchs, trauma, rebellion branding, and whether Suzanne Collins may have quietly pulled off one of the most outrageous sleight-of-hand tricks ever hidden inside a studio franchise.Why does Donald Sutherland feel like he’s acting in an entirely different film from everybody else? Why does this franchise keep accidentally becoming more relevant every single year? Is Gale the most terrifying character in the entire series? And what if Mockingjay Part Two is not just a blockbuster about propaganda… but something far more clever?

Flight Of The Navigator (1986): The Nostalgic Family Classic Or Wildly Misunderstood Masterpiece? 18.05.2026 44minBen and Rob step back into the summer of 1986 with Flight of the Navigator, a film that has spent forty years being wildly underestimated. Warm, strange, and quietly melancholy beneath its adventure film surface, it tells the story of a boy who falls into a ravine and wakes up in a world that moved on without him… but is it the misunderstood masterpiece its most devoted fans insist it is? Or has our affection for it quietly outgrown the film itself?The boys dig into the extraordinary story of how Flight of the Navigator came to exist at all; the bankrupt production companies, the directors who almost made something far darker, and the unlikely chain of events that led to one of the most influential films in cinema history changing CGI forever. Somewhere along the way, the theories start to surface. Why are THOSE toys in David's NASA room? Did Max accidentally become conscious somewhere over Florida and did everyone simply fail to notice? And when David chooses to go back to 1978 at the end of the film, is he really choosing his family?And finally...What does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014): Hear Us Out... We Fixed It. 11.05.2026 1t 1minBen and Rob return to Panem with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014), the instalment that divides fans and demands a verdict. Directed by Francis Lawrence, this chapter strips away the spectacle and doubles down on the psychology. But does that make it a bold creative swing, or a franchise stumbling under the weight of its own ambitions?Two visions of the same film. Ben and Rob don't just disagree on Mockingjay, they disagree on what it means for the series as a whole. Is this the moment the Hunger Games grew up, or the moment it lost its nerve?Along the way, they dig into the making of... the behind the scenes decisions that shaped one of the most divisive blockbusters of the decade. Then things get strange. Wild theories surface, hot takes land without apology, and the franchise itself gets put on trial. Is Mockingjay an underrated piece of political filmmaking hiding in plain sight, or has it been let off the hook for too long?And finally...What does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

Die My Love (2025): Katniss And Edward Sitting In A Tree... They're Awful To Each Other And The Marriage Breaks Down In Unimaginable And Horrific Ways 04.05.2026 1t 15minBen and Rob plunge into the feverish, unraveling psyche at the heart of Die My Love, a film that blurs the boundaries between passion, isolation, and psychological fracture. Set against a raw, untamed landscape that feels as volatile as its characters, the story captures a relationship pushed to its emotional limits, but what exactly is Die My Love? A romance? A descent into madness? Or something far harder to define?What drove the film’s creation, and how did its cast and creatives shape such an intense, intimate portrayal of love under pressure? Ben and Rob dig into behind the scenes insights, exploring the choices that give the film its unsettling authenticity, from performance styles to the way the environment itself becomes a character.As the discussion deepens, they turn to the film’s most striking imagery. What does the black horse represent, and why does it linger so ominously at the edges of the story? How do fire and destruction intertwine with themes of desire and loss? And in a landscape that feels both expansive and suffocating, what role does the setting play in reflecting the inner lives of its characters?From its haunting symbolism to its emotional volatility, Die My Love resists easy interpretation, but that doesn’t stop Ben and Rob from trying. What does it really mean? Is the film a portrait of love pushed beyond its limits, a meditation on identity and confinement, or something more abstract and elusive? And when the dust settles, are we left with answers or just the lingering sense that some stories are meant to be felt rather than understood?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!
