Steve and Simon are back from a Christmas break, with a rather film-centric first-of-the-year episode of Crave!. The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchie’s latest version of his cockney-wide-boy caper, has entertained both of our reviewers, while Sam Mendes’ First World War epic…
Knives Out is the new Daniel Craig black comedy-thriller, and it’s delighted both Steve and Simon, who also have a few thoughts about where the first official trailer for what’s likely to be Craig’s last Bond outing, No Time To…
While others are speculating about who will replace him as James Bond, Daniel Craig is quietly carving out a new, post-007 career. 2017’s Logan Lucky saw him play, suprisingly convincingly, a dodgy character from the American deep south in a…

The Lion King is the latest effort in Disney’s trawl through its back-catalogue of classic animations, and while it’s undeniably a technical masterpiece, it’s left Simon and Steve both quite cold. Unlike Yesterday, the Curtis/Boyle collaboration about the only man…
I was going to start this review by mentioning Jaws from 1975 to evoke our collective love of being terrified by wild beasts, be they land or sea based. But then of course you can go back decades earlier, to…
