*SPOILER WARNING for this episode we start talking about the movie at 29:38*
Welcome back, everyone! Sorry for the delay but we had very stormy weather here in Ireland and were without power and it delayed recording and editing this episode!
I was also trying my best to figure out what the hell the banging noise is that you can hear occasionally and figured out that it's Steve scrolling on his phone. I’m about to kill him for this. He had his phone beside the microphone so the banging is the tapping of his phone. This won’t happen again and apologies for the sound.
But anyhow we decided to go through all the Oscar nominations that just came out! So if you don’t want to get spoiled for the film you can stay for the Oscar chats at the beginning until 29:38 where we then spoiler review the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Please note that we talk all about the movie and the one before it, so it’s spoilers everywhere!
- Films mentioned
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse

TRIGGER WARNING: mention about physical abuse, child abuse
Apologies for Steve who is too close to the microphone and you can hear his creepy breathing, I also sound a bit far away but will try and solve that for the next episode!
We have the chat's about controversial opinions and Hollywood stars, we may end up with some unfollowers who don't like what they hear :P
We then get into the worst films we watched in 2023, let us know if you agree or disagree and what some of your worst was!
