Screenland with Brian Lloyd

Yes, it's a bumper-sized episode this week to make up for my pitiful lack of posting.

On this week's episode, we have a special guest - CHRIS TONICK, editor of 'The Furious' - joins us to talk about his work on the stonking great Hong Kong martial arts movie that has been criminally overlooked by the powers that be for getting an Irish / UK release. We're also talking about STREET FIGHTER and the continued impulse to adapt videogame movies, we're wandering deep into Travis Knight's WILDWOOD, and we're even going out for CLAYFACE too. Too much to talk about. Not enough to write about. Get on it, Screenlanders.

YOUR DA SELLS AVON ON FACEBOOK.

OK, is anyone else surprised to learn that Facebook sucks? No? Of course not. You're not living under a rock, are you? Well, it's the central premise of Aaron Sorkin's well-meaning but ill-conceived journalism drama that should probably have been made ten years from now, 'THE SOCIAL RECKONING'. Here's my review. Like and subscribe, do all that stuff.

DIGG BABY DIGG.

Yes, I was gone for a while. Yes, I'm very sorry about that. Yes, I explained it and apologised for it in the first five minutes of this episode. I'm back, let's not talk about why or for how long, because we have to talk about 'DIGGER'. From the get-go, you should know that I am discussing everything about this movie. Yes, I am specifically talking about the big spoiler-twist-whatever that's been left out of the promotion and marketing for 'DIGGER'. So if you want a spoiler-free experience watching 'DIGGER', do not listen to this episode until after. You've been warned.

THAT'S A LOT OF TITLES AND NOT A LOT OF SPACE.

OK, so we're continuing our streak of episodes arriving in a timely fashion with a no-holds-barred, knockdown, stomped-out review of CAPITALISM VS. ACME VS. LOONEY TUNES VS. WARNER BROS. in 'Coyote Vs. Acme', we're taking on psycho-sexual trauma and '80s slashers in 'Teenage S*x and Death At Camp Miasma', and we're ranting about generative AI (again) in 'Stop! That! Train!', and if that wasn't enough, I saw the first episode of 'Lanterns' and decided to wax lyrical for a few minutes about late '90s high-concept TV drama 'Early Edition'.

GET ON IT!

A TALE OF TWO MOVIES, AND ONE TV SHOW I AM EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT I LIKE.

We're back at it, gang. On this week's show, we delve into the mystery of Eli Roth as a film director, producer and general goober who has fallen a$$-backward into a career, and discuss his latest bowl of utter tripe, the AI slop-ridden 'Ice Cream Man'. It's not all terrible news, however. Matt Johnson's excellent bildungsroman of Anthony Bourdain's early life hits Irish cinemas, with Dominic Sessa and his non-iPhone face continuing to shine. We're also discussing 'Reacher', a show I am embarrassed to admit how much I enjoy.

It's all good, clean fun, folks. Have at it.
