Episode Synopsis
Welcome to our spin off review show – Darren’s Dash.
Regular listeners to our shows will know that Darren’s Dash used to be a regular feature in our monthly review round up. In that section, Darren would talk about four films most of the other members either never got out of their chair to watch or were unable to view because of limited release. The Dash has become so popular that we have now decided to give Darren his own monthly slot. But wait, that’s not all. Because of the extra time we have in the new slot, the number of films being reviewed has been increased from four to five. As always there is a challenge to the rest of us to see if we can watch them before they are reviewed by our Northern contributor. Not much of a competition as we expect Phil to win this hands down every month.
For this first show, we have managed to annoy Jeff (a relatively easy thing to do) with not one but two foreign language movies. As for the films being reviewed they are
Jolt: Starring Kate Beckinsale and can be found on Amazon Prime
Another Round: Starring Mads Mikkelsen (and in Dutch)
Guns Akimbo: Starring Daniel Radcliffe and can be found on Amazon Prime
The Forever Purge: Starring Ana De La Reguera and can be found on Video On Demand
Minari: Starring Steven Yeun (and in Korean and English)
I am sure you will agree that this is an excellent and varied selection. As always, if you have any comments on these movies, or anything talked about on the show, please let us know.
Until next time, Darren says “see you at the flicks”
