Iron Man 3' commentary

Ho ho holy crap, there's a foreigner blowing things up!

He's teaching us lessons. He's sending us cryptic video messages. Yes, that's right, it's time for us to face off against The Jo- Mandarin. Yes. The Mandarin. But as anyone who likes a bit of Marvel knows, it's not going to be that simple, there's twists and turns and oh so many gags ahead of us!

As it's Christmas, the Mash-up is delving into phase two of the MCU with the appropriately festive 'Iron Man 3'. But what does the world have in store for Tony Stark in the wake-of The Avengers? Well, it seems that basically it's a film that's very much its own beast - but is it a beast we want to tame and keep as a pet, or one we want to execute behind the woodshed?

Find out, in our Christmas Mash-up!!

'The Dark Knight Rises' commentary

Mglepghh! Hmnuh! Bhmm!

Yes, it's true, a fire is rising beneath the Mash-up this month, as we skip away from Marvel's jovial barrage of primary colours and return to some of that DC dank despair - this time being stewarded by Chrissy Nolan as he attempts to conclude his take on The Bat Man.

Now, 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a big movie. Whichever way you look at it. Big ambitions, big set pieces, big running time. So it only seems appropriate that to deal with Chrissy Nolo's epic of epicness, WHINECAST ups the ante and delivers what we *think* is our longest podcast ever. May God have mercy on us all.

But hopefully, you'll think the length is justified, as there's frankly so damn much in this film to talk about, a thousand topics. But naturally, the key topic that we need to address, the question that needs to be answered, the one we've been asking ourselves since 2012 - is it any good? Aside from the hype, the expectation, the arses leaning over bikes - does the film actually work outside of its gargantuan release hoopla?

You're about to find out!

‘The Avengers’ commentary

This is a big one, ladies and gentlemen!

Yep, the Mash-up has spent the last few months well and truly immersed in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe getting to know a whole new family of characters. In reality, the largest test a family gathering can endure is Christmas dinner, but this is The Fictions, so we’re going to be witnessing something almost as traumatic - intergalactic invasion!

Yes, the MCU’s Phase One is coming to an end with an almighty smash and the WHINECAST boys aren’t going to be shying away from the hard topics - do logic problems matter when you’re having a damn good time? Should Robert Downey Jnr be allowed to wield so much power? Could ScarJo’s hips get any more amaze balls?

Tune into this month’s Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up to get the answer to these burning questions - and many many more!

'Captain America: The First Avenger' commentary

Once more into the breach, good playas!

Yes, the Mash-up is returning and once more, unsurprisingly, we’re back with the apparently inexhaustible run of films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and this time it’s to check in with a new character to the proceedings, the big boy in blue, comic’s most famous boy scout, it’s of course Su- CAPTAIN AMERICA!

It’s a film one half of WHINECAST have only seen once prior and the other half has a mixed relationship with. But in the wake of well received and game changing 'The Winter Soldier', the exceptional ‘Guardians’ and the no-doubt-to-be-amazing ‘Age of Ultron’ (plus the soon upcoming TV adventures of a certain Ms. Carter), will we look back on Cap’s first instalment in a new light?

Will Tommy Lee Jone’s phone it in? Will Chris Evans physique be enough for Bill? Will Chris make questionable remarks about Hayley Atwells shapes? There’s only one way to find out and that’s by pumping your veins full of this podcast like Jewish Magicks Juice!

‘Thor’ commentary

Is that thunder you hear on the horizon? No, idiot, it’s the roar of excitement that the internet emits when we release a new instalment of the Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up!

This month, we’re somehow managing to burrow even deeper into Marvel’s maturing cinematic universe as we sit down to discuss everything ‘Thor’! Now that we’re sat on the other side of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and Marvel has proved itself to be a hit maker of such proportions that it causes other movie studios to involuntarily soil themselves, it’s easy to forget that just three years ago a live action movie based on a hunky weather alien seemed like a pretty risky proposition. But throw together a script that’s both sassy and serious - without being pompous - get yourself some name talent both in front and behind the camera and Baby, you’ve got yourself a stew cookin’!

But once we separate the MCU entanglements, push aside the pant moistening cast and focus on the nitty gritty, are we left with a movie that stands up to scrutiny? That’s the question WHINECAST is gonna answer, so grab your MeeMou, ready your generic MP3 player and try not to fall into the OdinSleep (tm) - because a storm’s coming!

All of Whine and Space- 'Guardians of the Galaxy' review

So, it's time for what might have once seemed like a pretty big gamble for old Marvel - deriving one of their phase two films not from a hugely established property, a name brand (such as a tempting cash in with a Hulk standalone) , instead we focus on a comparatively unknown bunch for the tenth outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - the 'guardians of the galaxy'.

Has this gamble paid off for Marvel? Have they got too cocky, tried to fix a formula that wasn't broken? 

Essentially - are there cracks in the shiny facade? Does a large ensemble cast work for the film? When is the 12A rating stretched beyond its limits? Can a wrestler be expected to act? All these questions and more will be answered in this week's WHINECAST review!

'Iron Man 2' commentary

They said it would never happen. They said it couldn't be done.

Well, actually, they said neither of those things, but they did wonder if it WOULD be done. Yes, it's a case of better late than never this month on the Mash-up, as we've taken our damn sweet time in getting round to the third entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because, would you believe it, some of that LIFE went and got in the way! But fear not, we've now found time to retreat into a fantasy world of robotic suits and sexy Machiavellian aliens, so we're finally ready to once again SUIT UP (geddit?) and get behind the mic!

So, this month, it's the second outing for the modest and low key Tony Stark to take to the skies, but this time he's got to deal with a threat greater than any faced thus far in the mash-up - BUSINESS.

As if that weren't enough, we've got malevolent Russians (like there are any other kind LOLZ #xenophobia), office romances, prostitutes (allegedly), senate hearings (like people loved from the Star Wars) and ScarJo looking simply delightful every moment she's onscreen! But is it a case of two many cooks spoiling the broth?

You know what to do!

The Marvel Rehabilitation ('Iron Man' Review

'The Dark Knight' commentary

This month, we welcome you to a world without rules, as it's finally time to return to the clutches of the DC family and into the filthy embrace of Chrissy Nolan, as we look back at 'The Dark Knight'.

It's hard to imagine Batman now without this film being in our consciousness, but we try and cast our minds back to 2008, when various parts of Gotham were blowing up like party poppers and mad laughter was echoing from theatre to theatre.

Obviously it's hard to think of this film without Ledger's Joker springing to mind, but the film is stuffed to the gills with great performances, interesting set pieces and barbecued flesh. What we advise is to sit yourself down, pour yourself a healthy amount of brown liquid and let the WHINECAST boys put a smile on that face!

'The Incredible Hulk' commentary

Well, we didn't like him when he was Ang Lee, so will we take to him this time?

Yep, the Mash-up is striking back this month as we cast our gaze towards the second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the semi-oddity that is 'The Incredible Hulk'. Arguably the black sheep of the Marvel family, here we have a film that had significant disputes behind the scenes involving star Ed Norton, director Louis Leterrier and the bigwigs over at Marvel who, wishing to avoid the ponderous tone of the widely criticised 2003 'Hulk', wanted to bring home a lean, action packed adventure that would reinstate the Hulk in the minds of cinema goers en masse.

So, who won in the big dispute (I think you can guess) ? Does the film shake off the shackles of the Ang Lee/Eric Bana attempt? To put it simply, is it Hulk Smash...or Hulk Gash?

WHINECAST- 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' review

We ALL know the Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up, right? Well, get ready for the Proper Amazing Casts Mash-up!

Yep, we've got critical darlings and box office goliaths spilling out all over the place this week, as the X-Men franchise returns to our screens with 'Days of Future Past', taking the beloved cast from the original trilogy and smashing them together with the Sex and Talent team that is the First Cast ensemble.

Combine that with the return of original director and alleged playa Bryan Singer, plus the adaptation of a much loved comics storyline and we've got the potential for something very special indeed. But can the film deliver? Is the huge cast ably serviced? Does the franchise continue its slow slog towards redemption? Will they explain why Xavier is alive?

SO many questions and, we can assure you, SOME of them will be answered in the below podcast!

WHINECAST - 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ' review

Hey there, Spider-friends!

Can it really be two years since Andrew Garfield first flew through the air with the greatest of ease, quipping and thwipping with the best of 'em, in the process delivering a reboot of the cinematic Spidey franchise that thrilled and bored various audiences in equal measure? Well, it must be, 'cos they've gone made another one! Imagine!

But, can returning director Marc Webb turn, what was for many, the 'pleasantly enjoyable Spider-Man' into the truly 'AMAZO' Spider-Man? Well, we can say one thing, he's certainly not going to be hanged for lack of ambition: we got ourselves some romance, some comedy, some bromance, some comedy, and an arguable roster of villains in the mix (and God knows that didn't hurt 'Spider-Man 3'...) - in other words, we got ourselves a stew, Baby.

But is it the kind of stew that sets up a whole cinematic universe of movies for Sony to ruthlessly pummel cinemas in the same way Marvel has carpet bombed the public into submission? Or the kind of stew that leaves you retching and gagging, shivering on the toilet and wishing you were dead?

There's only one way to know for sure and that's to let WHINECAST tell you how to think and feel!
