Adam & Alfie are busy with their dissertations and assignments so in place of a full episode, enjoy this snack-sized instalment of film discussion!

Somehow two film fanatic journalism students have produced an unplanned Journalism Special of Movie On Up. Amidst the dissertation slog, Adam Barlow watched Adam Garland’s hugely mismarketed Civil War and Alfie Walker watched Netflix’s dramatisation of the 2019 Prince Andrew Newsnight interview. In need of your weekly dose of movie discussion? Don’t sweat it. Rate…

What a month for the silver screen! With films coming out left, right and centre, the boys couldn’t catch all of them. So this week on the podcast, the boys have help from avid listeners Josh and Lenny. Adam really amps up the James Acaster impression at the tail end of this episode this week…

If there’s something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Well, certainly not Adam because he’s scared of ghosts. This week the boys dive into one of their favourite 80s franchises, Ghostbusters, with a rewatch of the 1984 and ’89 classics, the highly praised 2021 legacy requel, and the brand new for 2024 release…

Every film fan has a never-ending watchlist and Adam & Alfie are no exceptions, this week they talk about the biggest films that they (criminally) haven’t ever seen.

The 96th Academy Awards were held this week so the boys take one last look back at the celebrated films of last year. The end of an era – we didn’t cry, we promise. They also survey the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a hotly discussed topic by geeks around the world. Caine’s…

The boys most anticipated film of the year, Madame Web, sure did disappoint… Let’s hope this small budget, limited release, tiny little film, called Dune: Part Two can cheer the boys up this week.

Double digits… episode 10! This week, the reviews are of Wicked Little Letters and National Theatre Live’s Vanya (with Andrew Scott).

Next week, it’ll…

Movie On Up is in the big time, baby! Adam shares his experience of attending the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards in London. Thankfully, his ego was humbled this week after enduring a showing of Madame Web. There’s also a review of The Iron Claw and the lads discuss the new, official Fantastic 4 cast.…
