Who doesn't know the Nicolas Cage movie "The Rock"? A movie about pension policy and procedure in a land of generic tombstones. Anna is joined by movie-improv super-team Genre Claude Van Damme and together they dissect a really entertaining movie. Learn about the importance of the inside voice and the maths of extortion. There is also rampant speculation as to which scenes and lines were written by Tarantino and of course improv all around. Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

Martin loves Star Wars, Anna is somewhat indifferent and Alastair hasn't seen it. An interesting discussion ensues. The gang talks about why the villain in this movie is actually quite effective and what makes him interesting. There is an exclusive sneak peak for the sequels (all made up of course) and we fill in the backstory to Han and Lea's divorce. Also regular listeners can find out the age of the gang so watch out for that! Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

When you watch a movie like The Hunger Games, one of the most legitimate questions you can ask is: why do we need hunger games if we can create dogs out of thin air? So we at the Bad Perspective answer and explore the motivations and rationales of a clearly insane government. How would the Capital deal with climate change, underage drinking and speeding? We find out. Why are there 12 districts We find out. Who calls it the Reaping? Not so sure. Tune in to our award-nominated free comedy podcast with Anna, Tom and Iain.Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

With a name like "Days of Future Past" we knew this movie would be fun to look at and this time the Bad Perspective is joined by fellow UK Podcasters nominee "A Little Bit Racey"! In this cross-over episode, we combine analysing the movie from the villain's perspective with one of the most fun improv games around. Listen to Svavar and James as they have to race back through time to get to 1973 and save the plot. In this free comedy podcast,we also identify that no one seems to be listening to anyone else and that sometimes there can be such a thing as too many villains. Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

We cannot stop looking at James Bond movies. This week Anna, Sophie and Simon pick apart the movie Skyfall and Silva's super complicated plan. We debate where exactly Silva's plan lost its efficiency and what part he could have left out. Also who had the idea to put live komodo dragons in a casino? Is M really good? And how did the tube crash affect normal Londoners? All will be explored in this free comedy podcast. Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

There is of course some improv and the awards are being given to unsuspecting bad guys. Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

City Impro is joined by Lee from C.S.I. (Crime Scene Improvisation) and together we pick apart one of the most hyped movies of the decade - The Dark Knight Rises.

We also find out about the nitty-gritty of running a city that is cut off from the rest of the world and where all that shaving cream must have come from. We also answer the question: where was Alfred for most of the movie? And believe us, the answer to that will put the Apple Watch conspiracy to shame. Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

City Impro is joined by Henri and we review a movie that all makes us rather angry: Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Listen as we realise that no decision made by the villains makes any sense and count down their worst mistakes. Also, why is the Foot Clan called the Foot Clan? We interview those responsible and find out. And who was that poor henchman that was used to present and explain the entire evil plan to the turtles? His background story is also explored. Listen to this fun episode as it will make up your experience of watching the movie. We promise. Soundtrack by Gerrit Schatte.

On this episode we discuss the most misleadingly named sequel of all time: Speed 2. Join us as we quickly figure out that the scriptwriters made a mistake when assigning Geiger the role of the villain and why there is a much bigger bad on the boat. This time around, we convincly argue that Alex is really the villain, show that a more compelling film could have been made with everyone just saying two lines and briefly visit Geiger's memorial service. Join Anna and David from City Impro with special guest Katy (who has her own podcast: www.destinationpod.co.uk) as we cruise along reviewing Speed 2. The awesome new soundtrack is by Gerrit Schatte.

We also offer an exclusive insight into Mola Ram's private life and find out that he is really just like the rest of us.
