Brose and Shaun sit down for the first Chatflix Mini and play the Game. They’re not really sure how to play it and exactly who else is playing it. Brose isn’t even sure Shaun is real. It’s a bitesize dose of confusion and chat.

Brose, Stu, Looch, and Stephen “Junior” Rowley have chosen wisely by in their hunt for the cinematic holy grail. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

When Indy’s grail obsessed father Henry goes missing Indy doesn’t stop for a second in his hunt for his father and the grail. Well ok he stops once to pick up sexy german Dr. Elsa Schneider. and the Chatflix gang follow every twist and turn.

Brose, Shaun and Rian Goodge go underground and into the ring to fight each other over exactly how cool Bloodsport is.

Starring the Muscles from Brussels Jean Claude Van Damme in his firstand Beast from the East Bolo Yeung the film somehow became a cult phenom and spawned three sequels. But does the film kick butt or should just not give a Van Damme? Find out as we chat… flix.

It’s thirty years old but nothing fills you with childhood like wonder the way Miyazaki’s classic My Neighbour Totoro does. Professor Brose and his daughters Jade and Andy Balloch travel to 1958 rural Japan and fall into the luminescent world of giant spinning tops, the magic of soot spirits, wood spirits and magical creatures.

So grab your umbrella and join us on Catbus as we chat Totoro

Say hello to your little friends: Brose, Shaun, Matt and Caity as they gather around some white powder i can only assume is sherbet and chat about the iconic Scarface!

Scripted by Oliver Stone and directed by Brian De Palma with a cast including Godfather alumni Al Pacino and future puuuurfect Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer, Scarface is a cult classic that has inspired rappers, punk bands and innumerable bad impersonations..

Every dog has his day and today’s is Scarface.

Before we had Batfleck we had Darefleck, and this week the Chatflix are blinding themselves for the science of cinema by watching Mark Steven Johnson’s 2003 Daredevil for you.

Joining Brose in Hell’s Kitchen (which looks remarkable like Brose’s) are comics shop legends and uber fans Looch and Jarrod as they ask does Daredevil hit the Bullseye or does Afleck miss a target as big as Kingpin? I haven’t the foggiest.

Brose goes looking for his prince charming but instead winds up with Dale Maccanti and Trev to chat about the fairest of them all: Snow White. We discuss the classic Disney film and Dale and Trev’s comic After the Snow set after the Grimm Brother’s story. So off to work we go with another Chatflix episode.

A lesser podcast would do some kind of repetitive joke to celebrate Groundhog Day. Not Chatflix! We’ve learned our lesson the last times we did this ep. Remember?

Brose, Stuart (yay Stu is back). Hayley Tantau and Lulu McClatchy hope they got the ep right this time or we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter. Thankfully they’ll have Harold Ramis’s brilliant Bill Murray film to enjoy every single day, they’ll get to fall in love with Andy MacDowell every time, get annoyed with Stephen Tobolowsky’s Ned each day and want their own Punxatowny Phil again and again.

What if there IS no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.

Chatflix ASSEMBLE!

A film soooo big we couldn’t help but talk about it. Avengers Infinity War! the nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic universe that began with Iron Man and will only end when Marvel has taken all my money and left me a broken man.

Brose, Trev, Matt and Jarrod come together to discuss what 10 years of serialised film making has all been building to: Thanos! The only greater power in the universe is the star power in this film! Robert Downey jr, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth. Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Scarlet Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizaben Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Peter Dinklage, Benedict Wong, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, Benicio del Toro, William Hurt, Samuel L. Jackson and Josh -sexiest purple dude in the galaxy- Brolin.

Join us as we marvel.

This week we give you a special episode. Brose flew over to New Zealand and chatted with Weta artist Matthew Hopkins about the studio that made Lord of the Rings and the craft that their artists put into props featured in Thor: Ragnarok, Blade Runner 2049, Pacific Rim, Ghost in the Shell and many more.
