Gather Around Me

This week we are talking about the two hottest creepy crawly flicks of 2024: The Beekeeper and Madame Web.

Vox populi, vox dei. The people demanded an indepth recap of haunted pool movie Night Swim and who are we to deny them?

Folks, it's probably fair to say that nobody has been clamouring for an unpacking of the first three Insidious movies, including comparisons with turn-of-the-millennium Australian techno-thriller The Bank and yet that is precisely what you are listening to. It's a funny old world.

We have a chat about that hot cinema property Mission Impossible 2 - as well as another impossible mission, successfully holding the Commonwealth Games.

Not with a bang but with a podcast we finish our journey into the Queensland hinterland courtesty of Libby's synopsisizing skills.

It's episode 414 in a series of 1000 pods from your friends at Gather Around Me Inc. In this episode, we return to a series that I think we abandoned pre-Covid thanks to listener (and reader) Libby.

This week we're talking about a very bad movie.

This week we are talking in great detail, scene-by-scene- about the film Halloween Ends. This approach to film reviewing seems to come as a surprise to some!

This week we're talking about 2021's Baby Oopsie, a film which surprised and delighted us in equal measure.

Cam tricked Ben into seeing Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Continued discussion of the ever-expanding RCU. Ben wants to be like Jordan Peterson but not politically, just completely off chops on benzos and steak.

In this, episode four hundred and nine out of one thousand, we discuss the State of Origin (2022) and Escape Room (2017) but not Escape Room (2019).

This week your friends BenTron 3.0 and Cambot 6000 take over the pod for some AI shenanigans.

It's your pals Cam and Ben with Episode 407 in a series of 1000 podchats about affairs of state and culture and such. This week we recorded the Monday after the election for fresh takes on the ascendant Albanese government and the Rebel Wilson vehicle Senior Year.

This week we have some grievances to share. Plus a spoiler alert for Dr Strange and The Northman.

We discuss the election campaign and the film Ambulance (spoiler alert: both of them are careening out of control through the streets of LA). We have absolutely no proof that Michael Bay is not doing Dogme95 films on the side. 

Is A Long Time In Politics. A day can happen in a year and a year can happen in a month.

This week Ben & Cam discuss (with spoilers) the films The Batman, Morbius and RRR. Cam is not impressed with The Batman's refusal to do even the most simple geolocation.

Folks, huge content warning on this one: the Prime Minister is racist. And Ben saw Morbius.

Gather Around Me is back with our hot takes on the Academy Awards, Mark Latham, etc.

A very special episode for Ep 400! Not really! Cam reads Ben some terrible stuff. At one point he says it's Friday afternoon, but actually this was recorded on a Monday. Says it all.
