A Podcast
Hopkins and Coleman up against a quirky animation
In this episode we talk GT7, Spiro, Dave still shunning the amazing Nintendo Switch for no good reason, The Batman and our film club (which still needs a proper name - @WeDontGoOut with suggestions). The film club films are The House and The Father - very different picks this time out and one clear winner, but which is it?

That’s better
Got the right image for the right podcast…
Whoops, I wrote the intro for this one on the last one, just going to gloss over that. Enjoy.
The
kids
are
all right
Our films this episode, Enola Holmes and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, by complete coincidence, have two child leads
Back again with two more films to dive into. Enola Holmes and Hunt for the WIlderpeople are the offerings here. On Netflix, Enola Holmes, stars Millie Bobby Brown as the titular character Enola Holmes, younger sister of the already great Sherlock Holmes, played by Henry Cavill Enola embarks on her own mystery as she tracks down her missing mother (the ageless Helena Bonham Carter) and in doing so unravels more than she bargained for. Our second film, this one on Prime, Hunt for the Wilderpeople stars Julian Dennison and Sam Neil and is written and directed by Taika Waititi. Set entirely in New Zealand, it tells the story of Ricky (Dennison) who is bouncing about the foster care system and winds up in the care of Sam Neil’s Hector and his wife. But it isn’t long until they find themselfs at the centre of an unintentional man hunt.

Gone Girl
Gone Girl joins Gosford Park in our first film club review of 2022.
Here we are in 2022, no, we don’t know how it’s 2022 either, but it is, we’ve checked, so let’s just roll with it. In our first episode of the year we look back at the mess that was 2021 and find our “staying in” highlights - films, TV and games - and review our film club picks, which were Gosford Park and Gone Girl. You may not remember these being picked and you would be right. Our last episode is lost - it was a banger too, sorry about that. We also dive into the first solid news on PlayStation VR2! OMG it’s got lots of cool features! Of course we are excited! But should we be?
We are recording on new hardware now, it’s not gone fully to plan. I’m a bit quiet on this and Dave has some echo. We promise this will be resolved by the next record.
Classic 80’s anime
Akira, one of those pieces of cinema you just need to have seen. The other half of this episodes film club see’s Emily Blunt star in Sicario.
After a lengthy absence we are back. Our news chat is a little late as we recorded this a while ago. Then next episode is also already recorded too, so in only a week we’ll be back in your ears! So what’s in this episode? A whole host of film chat, boy oh boy Dave can’t half eat his way through films! And we chat about the Sony show before we dive into our film club, which is Akira and Sicario - two very different films!
The Dark
A new bread of horror? Find out in the film club with our horror double bill!
Here we go again, we’ve gone horror with our film club! Blood Red Sky and The Dark are up for discussion but before we dive into those little horrors, we have a bit of chat about the bits that leapt out to us from Games Con (DokeV and the interesting prospect of EFL and E-Football - R.I.P PES) and we talk about Netflix’s second series of Love Death and Robots, Dave sells me on Amazons Primes Cruel Summer and gives his thoughts on Don’t Breath 2 and I’m here to tell you about Crashing - because no one is / was talking about it and it needs some love! Because it’s bloody good! Thanks for reading this far but really you should be listening by now!
Radha Black Ain’t nothing ta f wit
40 Year Old Version and Ghost World are our films this episode.
Here we are with a couple of interesting picks for the film club. 40 Year Old Version, written, directed and staring Radha Black. Ghost World features a young Scarlett Johansson, Thora Birch and Steve Buscemi. That’s all you get, go watch them or listen without seeing them - come get involved.
The Dead Don’t Die
But maybe, sometimes, they should.
The Dead Don’t Die is joined by Leave No Trace in The Film Club in this episode of We Don’t Go Out. We also say our farewells to PES (RIP) and chat about Augusts games on PS+. That’s it, short and sweet.
Safe hands or over protective?
One of our films from this episodes Film Club: I Am Mother. The second film is the 80’s horror The Changling
Nintendo have announced an update to the Switch, not really the “Switch Pro” people had been hoping for but is it enough to satisfy the needs of the Nintendo nerds? Hear one Nintendo nerd talk it out with a Nintendo neutral. Sony had a State of Play, hear us talk about all the games shown of there before we dive into our film club with Sci-fi thriller/drama I Am Mother and 80’s horror film The Changling. Join in and enjoy.
Film Club
Woman In The Window and Birdman are our film picks this episode.
E3 has come and gone with little fanfare, we pick over the disappointing offerings and the few gems it produced before discussing our film club picks - The Hitchcock inspired, Amy Adams staring, Woman In The Window and winner of the Best Picture Oscar, Michael Keaton Staring, Birdman.
What’s new pussycat
Film club picks this episode are Are of The Dead and Goodnight Mommy.
Here we are again. E3. But not as we know it. We look forward to the beloved games show as it gears up to presnet the whole show, without Sony (again), digitally for the first time. Streaming all the conferences and content due to the global pandemic. Then of course we talk about our films in the film club, Army of The Dead and Goodnight Mommy.
Here we about films and games! That’s our MO! You know the drill! Palm Springs and Time is Illmatic are our films in the film club and we talk a bit about the games we have been playing. Plug us in your ears and enjoy!
Here we talk a few games, lay into the Switch (just a little) before we get to the meat of the pod: The film club! Time is Illmatic, a documentary about one of Hip Hop’s greatest albums, Illmatic by Nas. Then Life, not the Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence film by the same name, but a Space thriller (horror?) with Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ryan Reynolds.
Here we are again to talk about the joy of staying in. If this pandemic hasn’t really changed your life that much and you’ve just enjoyed playing games and watching Netflix, you know, like before the pandemic, then this podcast is for you. In this episode we talk about Sony giving everyone 10 games in their Play At Home scheme including some VR games - VR is like going out while staying in, perfect! - and we talk about the two films we had in our film club; Red Dot and Diego Maradona. Now, back in the 80’s many England fans would have liked to get Maradona in a red dot and pulled the trigger. But lots of time has passed, and so has Diego himself. So join us to watch Diego Maradona to try and figure out how we feel about the man. And Red Dot. A story about going camping. How jolly. Well, no, not really. No so jolly after all.
PlayStation Plus has another stellar month, we talk about the games we are playing before we dive into a bumper film club which unwittingly features two films with former Doctors from Dr Who. Matt Smith playing a supporting role in His House and David Tennant trying his hand as the bad guy in Bad Samaritan. But which Doctor had the better film? What did you think? What did we think? Have a listen, see if we are all on the same page. Plus bonus film Drive… just because.
