Holy Testicle Tuesday! Rounding out the Jim Carrey trifecta in style, this week the gang dives into the overt transphobia, saucy saxophone, and downright silliness of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Just when you thought this podcast couldn't get any dumber...we go and do something like this. In this episode of VHS and Chill, we jump on the hog with Harry and Lloyd to spot headless parakeets, endangered owls and Mexican mockingbirds, all in the search of Mary Sampsonite. 

In this pod, we’re finishing part two of our divorce double bill AND beginning part one of our Carrey trifecta. We go deeper than those seven single acts of indiscretion and debate the universal truth, legalese and the real reason behind the divorce. Watch out, the claw’s gonna get ya, it’s Liar Liar.

Dude really does look like a lady. Get back in this closet and enjoy part one of our divorce double bill - Mrs Doubtfire.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Yeah, Kevin Spacey, too. Jump back into the closet as we unpack the mid-life crisis of American Beauty!

They're brilliant, they're beautiful, they're back: Reviews from the Closet welcomes the Roaring 20s with a deep-dive into McG's feature length trailer of a film. Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of creepy thin men.

The acting in this Christmas edition of the pod is so wooden it poses a fire risk to the closet. Join us as we go along for the ride with Arnie’s hapless mattress salesman Howard Langston. During the journey we discuss 90’s dads, evil Ned Flanders and yet another sexless on-screen wife. By the end, you too will have had it up to here with Turbo Man.

In today’s pod we’re clearing our sinuses and sharing an uncomfortably small bed with Dell Griffith and Neal Page. But before we make it home for Thanksgiving, we talk chowderheads, curtain rings and the importance of being happy with who you are. Wait a minute, those aren’t pillows!

Today, we are taking it back to the wicky-wicky-wild with Sonnenfeld's steampunk disasterpiece. Hold onto your hats!

For this spooky Halloween edition of Reviews From The Closet, we're talking wooden stick figures, unexpected cairns (which could be either a pile of small rocks or an Irish jig), inconvenient ectoplasm, tent rustling, corner murdering and the world's first up-the-nose monologue. And if all that doesn't whet your appetite, we've also got a few crude Rasputin riffs to boot. Get your handheld cameras and beanie hats ready - it's the Blair Witch Project.

Great title + bad film = excellent podcast fodder. Strap in for this swashbuckling edition of Reviews From The Closet where the gang goes in on Sandy Bullock and St Kitts and Nevis.

The gang is back - and this time we're in a hillside cabin talking Bond, James Bond. Sit back as we discuss frumpy interns, lust killings, and confusing plot devices. 

The Kevins, the rewrites, the steel scrounging - 1995's Waterworld is an epic to remember for all the wrong reasons. Roisin, Rudi and Jeff dive headfirst into this bloated adventure from men's rights to digital hairlines.

In today’s episode we’re not smokin’, we’re breathin’ (the stuffy closet air). Between breathes we’re zigging and zagging around those catty East Germans, John Candy’s grizzledness and some heavy handed Disney morals. So feel the rhythm, feel the ride, get on up, it’s bobsled time. Cool Runnings!

In today’s closest, the lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here, uh… staggers us. But so too does Dr Malcolm’s chaos theory pick up line, Mr Arnold’s on-screen chain-smoking and John Hammond’s complete disregard for the safety of his lowly paid workers. Hold onto your butts and welcome to Jurassic Park.

In the closest today it’s you, me and Flubber makes three. But we mostly sidestep that little scamp and dissect the troubling subplot of Professor Brainard and his sexually amorous robot, discuss if this represents the first case of the singularity, ask what it means to be sentient and, most importantly, question if it’s ever ok to have sex with something you’ve created. Life can be hard when you’re in love with Professor Brainard.

Are you ready, ready for the big ride baby? Well, we are. In today’s pod we’re leaving our knowledge of basic medical science at the closest door and reviewing John Woo’s 1997 breakout hit, Face/Off. There’s comically-camp Travolta, onscreen incest and a very unnecessary third act boat/off all to unpack. It’s what Hell-A deserves.

In our inaugural episode we analyse 1996’s smash hit Independence Day. From the most pompous soliloquy ever committed to film (not our words), to bashful Smith being all bashful (our words), we cast a critical closet eye on one of our favourite ever films. So let’s not go quietly into the night with this bombastic, unabashed piece of pure jingoism. Two words Mr President….
