11:30 - We go into FULL SPOILER mode as we review 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.

1:31:35 - Our predictions for 'Episode 8: Say Something Luke'

1:41:38 - How Do You Market 'Rogue One'?

Movie Moan 2015: Episode 15 - Congratulations England, Ya Just Ruined Buffalo Wings

It's Phil's birthday and, as usual, there are no people he would rather spend it with than you.  The only problem is, some bloody restaurant chain has been screwing with Phil's favourite food.

Classic Movie Moan

Even though we are late to the party, 'Inside Out' has finally opened in the UK and we hope you will indulge Phil, Jamie and Matt while we finally talk about it in some detail (huge whopping Bing Bong shaped spoilers in this review - 6:03).

After a unique journey of taking a peek at a really rubbish script and then being really impressed by the trailer, one final question remains - is 'Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation' any good?  Would you mind if Phil proper nerdgasms about it?  Didn't think you would (23:35).

And we wrap with a rational discussion of 'Pixels' and try to explain how there was a genuinely great movie somewhere in this tonally inconsistent mess of a film (55:14).

Marveling At The Future

Join Phil, Spencer, and special guest Jen Mayhew as we discuss why 'Wolverine: The Last One (honestly)' has the potential to be the most interesting and emotionally affecting of all the X-Men movies as we say goodbye to Hugh Jackman in the role that defined him (1:07:55).

Phil has had a few months to think about this and, despite what Latino Review is saying (Billy Zane as the Vulture?  Really?), he is 100% convinced that Mysterio will be the villain in 2017's 'Spider-man Rides Again'.  Let us tell you why (1:36:07).

And Spencer opens up the debate to settle once and for all what we believe is a misunderstood notion - do Marvel's Cinematic Universe baddies suck? (1:44:44)

Movie Moan 2015: Episode 14 - Baskin Robbins Knows Everything

Join Phil, Jamie, Matt & Spencer for a fun and zippy ride through the aftermath of Comic-Con as we devote an entire show to everything currently happening within film's most un-killable genre.

We begin with a review of Marvel's Ant-Man, whose only real connection to the MCU seems to be guessing how Ice Cream behemoth Baskin Robbins will play into future films (11:45).

We then jump into the entirely predictable predicament we find ourselves in regarding the premature reaction to the pics from 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.  At this point, they're giving us literal translations of the crazy costumes.  So why is that not enough? (33:08)

And since we can't shut up about this franchise, we tell you whether it's worth double dipping to pick up a copy of 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past: The Rogue Cut' (45:44).

Next up is our thoughts on the trailer for 'Suicide Squad'; how huge it's going to be with the general public thanks to the presence of Harley Quinn, how bored Will Smith looks in it, why we can never learn to just give a new Joker a chance, and how Warner Bros. marketing strategy is completely destroyed thanks to the premature reveal of this footage (56:30).

Then we finally talk about the latest footage for 'Batman V Superman: MEEEEEANWHILE BACK AT THE HALL OF JUSTICE'.  I can't guarantee we'll tell you anything you haven't already heard but you'll listen to us anyway right? (1:17:13)

And finally, Jamie and Matt watch and join the conversation on 'The Death Of Superman Lives: What Happened?'.  Really, it's just an excuse for more Nick Cage impressions (1:32:30).

And we do have time to poke fun at future President Donald Trump.  Enjoy!
