Rhys, James and Joe return to look at the latest movie news and catch up with Kathryn Bigelow's vampire western, Near Dark - is it the best vampire movie from 1987?We'll be back in a couple of weeks with our next movie (revealed in this episode, and let me tell you: it is an ODD shout even by Joe's standards) before we're back for our regular roundup of the year!

James, Rhys and Joe return to look at the genre-defining murder-game satire, BATTLE ROYALE.

Joe, James & Rhys take a deep(ish) dive on both extreme ends of the zombie franchise - George A Romero's originator of the genre, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and Danny Boyle's post-Brexit zombie sequel, 28 YEARS LATER. All this, plus: Ironheart, The Phoenician Scheme, The Rehearsal, and more!Our next movie on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/cinematicuniverse ) will be - of course - James Gunn's SUPERMAN, which we are expecting to record tomorrow, so you should hear it in just a few days. We'll also be doing FANTASTIC FOUR after that, and our next main episode is going to be BATTLE ROYALE. So plenty to look forward to!If you've seen Night of the Living Dead or 28 Years Later, let us know what you thought in the comments!

Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Ryan Coogler's 2025 movie, SINNERS. As soon as we can agree who's hosing the episode. This is an all-Sinners episode because it was recorded soon after our Ghost Dog chat AND there's a lot in this movie to think about. That said, to be completely honest if you don't like talk about spitting I would probably skip this one.You can hear this and many other episodes ad-free on our Patreon!

Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Jim Jarmusch's 1999 fusion of crime & samurai genres, Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.

James, Rhys & Joe return with one of James's favourite movies, Star Trek VI. But what did the others make of it?We also cover Daredevil: Born Again (a little - recording a catch-up of eps 3-6 at the weekend), Severance S2, Dogman, Common Side Effects, Mickey 17 AND the latest Bond news. Enjoy!Catch on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/cinematicuniverse

Joe, James & Rhys look at the 2013 Coen Brothers movie starring Oscar Isaac: Inside Llewyn Davis. We also talk Companion (mild spoilers though nothing that isn't in the trailer), Severance S2, and much more!We'll be back in a few weeks with James's movie choice: Nicholas Meyer's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Rhys, James and Joe are back! Well, technically we never went away but it's all been happening over on the Patreon where we've covered Agatha All Along, The Penguin, Joker: Folie a Deux and Kraven - but we're finally back on the free feed to discuss Ridley Scott's 2000 movie, GLADIATOR. There's also the usual news and what's good sections but if you're only interested in the movie you can find that at 1h 30m. We'll be back on the free feed soon with our usual end-of-year show, and we'll be back in January for Joe's pick: INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. Enjoy!
