Admit One Movies show

Admit One Movies

Summary: Simon Oxlade, Mat Purvis and Claire Dukes are film fans, not critics. Armed with an annual cinema pass they spend their own money and then meet up in the pub to review what they have seen. Full of warm, witty banter, and sometimes gloriously profane, these shows are like sitting in a pub with your mates complaining about movies. While they may know what an F-stop is, and what the heck a gaffer does, the team are honest film fans who reflect the opinions of the average cinema goer with their local multiplex at the end of their street. You won't get a score, but you will get an honest assessment of what a handful of average Joes think of the flick and is it worth your money. Each show usually consists of some news, some gossip, if anyone of note has died recently there's a respectful obituary before the three or four reviews are delivered. In between there are insults, jokes, beer and smiles. We're not the best criticism podcast out there, but we're probably the warmest.

Reviews of Lost in Space, Tango One, Elle and The Alienist. Simon Mat and Claire didn't fancy watching Rampage, so it's a Netflix streaming special as the team take a look over some of the wide range of material available on the streaming service.

 The One with Mute, Peter Rabbit, The Hurricane Heist and A Quiet Place | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:35

Mute, finally, gets reviewed, along with Peter Rabbit, The Hurricane Heist and silent horror A Quiet Place. Simon, Mat and Claire return to the Beehive pub, Swindon, Wiltshire for their 50th Episode of the Admit One Movies podcast. Recorded over two days, the show contains a look at Solo: A Star Wars story, a discussion of Netflix's refusal to show anything at Cannes, a week after Cannes refused to show anything that Netflix submitted (sour grapes?).

 The one with Ready Player One, Annihilation, Tomb Raider, but not Mute | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:14:33

Back again with reviews of Spielberg's homage Ready Player One, Alicia Viklander inherits Lara Croft's hotpants in Tomb Raider, and Natalie Portman braves the weirdness of the shimmer in Annihilation. As well as the news, comment, jokes and insults. Business as usual for Wiltshire's premier movie podcast.

It's Valentines night so let's talk Marvel's Black Panther over a candlelit pint. The pair of them look at Steven Spielberg's The Post, with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. Then The Cloverfield Paradox, a masterpiece of marketing or a film-shaped lump of bad news? Finally Black Panther.

Mat and Simon review Darkest Hour, All the Money in the World and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri with a quick look over the 7th Annual Golden Globes and some upcoming movie trailers. And beer. Don't forget the beer.

 The one with Bright, The Last Jedi and Jumanji | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:10:09

Mat and Simon return with reviews of Jumanji, with The Rock, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan; Star Wars: The Last Jedi with, well, everyone it seems; and Netflix fantasy movie Bright with Will Smith. No news, but we also take a look back over the last twelve months and decide our three best, and three worst films of the year!

 The one with Justice League, Battle of the Sexes and Ingrid goes west | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 59:33

The world spins towards Christmas and Admit One has a bit of a cold-enforced breather. However Simon and Mat return with another packed episode where Mat reviews Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen in Ingrid Goes West, Simon looks at Emma Stone and Steve Carrell in 70's tennis drama Battle of the Sexes, and Mat reviews Justice League.  Plus news and a plea to our US listeners to petition their Congressmen to vote down the proposed changes to Net Neutrality laws. Don't worry, there are still jokes.

 The one with Murder on the Orient Express, Thor: Ragnarok, The Shining and Paddington 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 57:07

Murder on the Orient Express brings together an all star cast (and Johnny Depp) in a classic tale of skulduggery and murder. Mat took a look and, like Poirot in a dining room, gives us his opinion.  Simon has Thor:Ragnarok, where Thor, Loki and the Hulk need to figure out how to kick the Asgard out of that nasty Cate Blanchett. Mat has seen The Shining on the big screen for the first time and was blown away by the experience. Whilst Simon was blown away by the sheer cuddliness of Paddington 2.

 The one with mother!, Wind River, Kingsman and Star Trek: Discovery | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:06:43

Wind River, mother!, Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Star Trek: Discovery reviewed, Jumanji, Tomb Raider, Jigsaw trailers discussed, review of Harry Dean Stanton's career and usual banter

 Bad Jokes bonus | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:54

Our recordings take a while. They also involve beer. Sometimes they involve jokes. Here, for your listening pleasure, is fifteen minutes of truly terrible jokes and insults edited out from the last episode. We hope it'll raise a smile.

 The one with Logan Lucky, Detroit, It and American Made | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:46

Steven Soderbergh's new film Logan Lucky gets Mat's attentions. Simon watches Tom Cruise's latest American Made and Katherine Bigelow's powerful Detroit. Mat then puts on his bravery trousers and faces the latest cinematic version of Stephen King's It. Otherwise  there's a distinct lack of news, and Celebrity Deaths (Yay Mickey Rourke still lives), so this week you get a whole fistful of reviews and, sadly, Any Other Business.
