"Again, everybody dies. That is such the best, most-great formula for a true masterpiece film. A classic film should leave you thinking, “How in the hell did this idea ever get financing?” The director, Brad Anderson, does more with his small budget than most movies do with huge, fat mountains of cash. The moment the credits start to roll, I want to watch the whole story over again."

Lighthearted story telling
I love this podcast. I have been listening for 5 months now.

I love how each episode is completely different and has it's own theme. Told light-heartedly but very descriptive. Bringing true crime alive in this informative series.
Learn about cold cases, the worlds most cold blooded killers and dive deep into the minds of a psychopath.

Find yourself re-listening and researching real cases.

Early 2000s sci-fi thriller, based on a story by Philip K Dick (aren't all the best ones? ), in which Tom Cruise plays the head of a pre-crime unit in the near future who finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't yet met.

(Re)watching this in 2026, it's fun playing 'which future prediction' (swipe screens being the most obvious!) came true!

Good but too Hollywood-ised
This is yet another true life story I've never heard about until watching the film, but its a fascinating and harrowing story.

Andrew Garfield gives a great performance as Desmond, and his story is truly an intriguing one. The second half of the film during the actual war was very well done, it seemed very realistic and graphic without being too ott gory. And the documentary footage at the end of the real Desmond Does nearly had me in tears.


The main problem is this film has been Hollywood-ised, with over the top and out of place acting from some actors (my other half pointed this out early on and it was something I couldn't then unsee!) to irritating slow motion and patchy CGI. If they could just tell the real story without embellishing, it'd be so much better.
