May 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment
movies_star-trek-into-darkness

All of us here at the Bioscopist finally managed to go see a film together and that film was Mud. We totally enjoyed the hell out of it as two of our favourite actors Matthew McConaughey and, future Man of Steel villain, Michael Shannon brought their A-games to this. The other film we managed to see, albeit not together, was, Star Trek (colon) Into Darkness. We go into a full review, but left the spoilers for right at the end of the podcast, so don't worry about us ruining the ending for you. … [Read more...]

The Bioscopist Podcast #18 – The Apocalyptic Films Episode

May 9, 2013 By Leave a Comment
apocolypse

Hey boys and girls, it's the APOCALYPSE!......or maybe it's 2Pacalypse Now...I'm not 100% sure on that. Either way, Court thought it would be a good idea to do an apocalyptic themed podcast as he happened to watch a few post-apocalyptic films over the last couple of weeks, which is not that surprising considering Court exudes almost herzogian-like nihilism on occasion. I had such a good time on this one, that I forgot to talk half the time. We also touch on more serious topics like the "noble … [Read more...]

Sorry for the late posting of this weeks episode, but it's been a hectic week. I've not added a time stamp for this episode, but broadly speaking we touched on the hilarious and sonically pleasing Miami Connection. A B-Movie with some real charm and great soundtrack. Me and Court talk about a good stand-up gig we saw at LeftBank in Stokes Croft, Bristol - which was hosted by GiggleByte. Our contributor Fawzi AC a.k.a Fuzzycomic, was headlining the gig and did a fine job of tickling our funny … [Read more...]

The Bioscopist Podcast #14 – Film Ratings, Trailers, Tropes and MoCap

March 13, 2013 By Leave a Comment
ROTPOTA-Serkis-Mo-cap

This particular podcast was a little film-lite, but dont let that stop you from listening to us milk the comedy udders for all it's worth. Court gives his merketing schtick another go and we then move onto checking out some trailers. One in particular is for 70's B-movie, starring Sean Connery, called Zardoz. It looked like one big acid trip. Mat reviews The Ides of March. Stu waxes lyrically about Liam NeeSonSSSS: Wolf Puncher, a.k.a The Grey before finally looking at MoCap artiste Andy … [Read more...]

oscars22-620x400

I've just managed to finally catchup on some much needed sleep, after staying up late into the early hours of the morning, to watch the live Academy Awards unfold on my TV screen in little old England. Anyway...we managed to record a podcast that same day, so forgive me if I sound a little dazed and confused. I'd only had 3 hrs sleep. We started off with a quick recap of the Oscars. Who won what. Then Court and I talked about William Friedkin's Killer Joe, which turned out to be quite a … [Read more...]

BCxt9l6CAAA_3yR.jpg_large

Once again, it's time for Britannia's best loved movie podcast. Today we trialled our new sound system for allowing us to play audio clips off youtube directly into the podcast, which has added a whole new dimension to things....what's next I hear you shout. A sound board per chance? maybe...we'll see how it goes. On Sunday night it was the BAFTAs so we talked a little about the success of Ben Aflleck's Argo and what this means for the Oscars in 2 weeks. Then we discussed what we watched over … [Read more...]

1ST PODCAST - COURT, MATT ANS STU

Sorry for the delay this week, but Court told us he was busy making a show and tell presentation for his PhD. It sounded important so we delayed the recording by a couple of days. Both Court and Matt finally got 'round to watching Django Unchained. Court saw Searching for Sugar Man. Matt talks to us about the morals of Hugh Jackman's Real Steal, a "kids film", and we try out a movie wordplay game. Link to coked-up Tarintino getting interviewed by a terribly thick lady. Court's Review of … [Read more...]

We kick-off the new year talking about the Golden Globes and awards season in general. Then begin talking about the jam-packed month of January, with the release of Django Unchained, Lincoln, Zero Dark 30 and Oscar betting. The so-called fake outrage at Zero Dark 30's torture scenes and Court continues his hatred-fuelled tirade on the turd that is Safety Not Guaranteed. And Matt and I talk about the high frame rate experience of the Hobbit in 48 FPS. Link to Glenn Greenwald's dumb article in … [Read more...]

We sat down to have a serious discussion about our favourite sci-fi's, including Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Terminator and many more. Court got round to seeing The Master and felt like a pleb afterwards...Court and I had different opinions on it's thematic structure of Paul Thomas Anderson's Masterpiece. The three of us talked about the Blade Runner Documentary - "On the Edge of Blade Runner" - which stars a very young Dr. Mark Kermode. So if you want to get it touch, or let us know … [Read more...]

We also talked about our favourite horror films - due to it being close to Halloween and all.

Screen Shot 2012-10-08 at 22.53.14

In today's episode we decided to go for a Oktoberfest themed film discussion and also went into a deep dive of Looper. We left the spoilers right until the end, so don't worry if you haven't seen it yet. We discussed our favourite drinking films, Sideways, Beerfest, The Hangover and many more. Although you may see a pattern emerge with Court hating most of the drinking films I liked. Sadly Matt couldn't make it to the podcast (He's under the weather), so as we were a man down. Fortunately we … [Read more...]
