The podcast which discusses movies, books and TV shows in their entirety – without fear of spoilers. Presented by Paul Tyler with regular guest reviewers Rachael Burnett and Andy Goulding and produced by Johnathan Haw.
This week the Spoiler team are trying to get to grips with the intricacies of Alex Garlandâs psychological sci-fi thriller âEx Machinaâ starring Domnhall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander and Oscar Isaac. A film that has long been on the Spoiler back-burner, âEx Machinaâ ultimately proves divisive among the team with Rachael and Paul enjoying it more than Andy, whom Paul declares has âlost itâ after he declares that he doesnât like âBlack Mirrorâ either. While Rachael yearns for a sci-fi film with a happy ending for a change, Paul promises to share a theory about one of the characterâs fates that will blow the whole discussion wide open and may just provide that coveted glimmer of hope. Thereâs no hope for Andy though, who isnât even completely convinced by Oscar Isaacâs acclaimed performance as the unpredictable genius Nathan. Paul takes a moment to flag up the overlooked fourth character Kyoko in a film that is often referred to as a three-hander and the team discuss how the illusion of synthetic bodies changes the nature of screen nudity.
Elsewhere, Rachael takes a look at unexpected dance scenes in films including âPretty in Pinkâ, âBlast from the Pastâ and âLove Actuallyâ.
This weekâs scale: Ideal viewing on a flight to Norway or âThereâs Norway Iâm watching that againâ
