    Episode # 383 Chef with Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast
    Jun 25 2025
    Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Fran’s choice Chef. Chef (2014) is a comedy drama road trip film, written, directed and starring Jon (Iron Man) Favreau. Also starring Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr. Miami Chef Carl Casper is the head chef at a popular LA restaurant but clashes with the restaurant owner over the menu. When he receives a negative food review from a prestigious food critic and blogger Ramsey Michel he unintentionally starts a Twitter (hello 2014!) spat. After a failed attempt to serve innovative cuisine to Michel and redeem his status, Casper quits and decides to take his food on the road in a food truck and drag his son along for the ride. Chef is a charming and easy going film, even if it is occasionally a vehicle for Favreau’s ego. If you enjoy food and hold nostalgia for a time when Twitter was a fun social media platform then Chef is the film for you. Chef scores highly across all categories apart from repeat viewing to give an overall rating of 3.70.

    Episode # 382 Scoop with Nina Robinson and Ninna Makrinov
    Jun 18 2025
    Nina Robinson (Soundtruism Media Productions) and Ninna Makrinov (The Fat Psychologist podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Nina’s choice Scoop. Scoop (2024) is a dramatisation of the jaw dropping 2019 BBC Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew. It is based on the book Scoops by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister. Directed by Philip (The Crown) Martin, it stars Gillian Anderson as Newsnight host Emily Maitlis, Keeley Hawes as Amanda Thirsk, Prince Andrew's private secretary, Billie Piper as Sam McAlister and Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew. Following the publication of images of Prince Andrew walking with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein the Prince’s PR team suggest some friendly press opportunities will help rebuild his image. After negotiations Sam Manages to secure an interview with Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace for Newsnight. While filming the interview it becomes apparent that Prince Andrew has no self awareness and the Newsnight crew realise they have secured the interview of the decade. Scoop is the most made for TV film of recent years. It attempts to build drama around the negotiation of the interview and give a small glimpse into the lives of the major players. Recommendability and small screen scores were pretty high but lower engagement scores give an overall rating of 3.29.

  • Episode # 381 Pig with Luke Tomlinson and Ash Farkas

    Episode # 381 Pig with Luke Tomlinson and Ash Farkas
    Jun 11 2025
    Luke Tomlinson (Impropod Podcast) and Ash Farkas join Flixwatcher to review Ash’s choice Pig. Pig (2021) is a drama about a ex-chef and his beloved foraging pig. Written and directed by Michael (A Quiet Place: Day One) Sarnoski it stars Nic Cage as Robin ‘Rob’ Feld the reclusive truffle-forager and Alex Wolff as Amir, an inexperienced buyer and seller for luxury restaurant ingredients. One night Rob is attacked and beaten, at the same time his pig is stolen. Rob enlists the help of Amir to track down his pig and help him gain information he needs. Pig is a revenge film but not the type you might expect. Anyone expecting a John Wick/Taken approach will probably be disappointed. It is meditative look at life and food and the choices we make. Recommendability scores were pretty solid. With a runtime of 92 minutes it also scored well for repeat and engagement to give an overall score of 3.90.
