The Review at the End of the Universe
January, also known as the longest month of the year is over and Kneel Before Pod closes it off by discussing the news and trailers that came our way. The conversation covers corporate shifts, respect for source material and getting paid to do nothing.
Another year is in the rear view mirror but the news doesn’t sleep during the festive period. The conversation covers more toy movies, Marvel’s desperation and ScarJo as franchise catnip.
Kneel Before Pod brings you the second donor requested episode. Donor and superfan Violet Hammond requested we go back to her childhood and discuss Don Bluth’s 1982 classic The Secret of Nimh. The conversation covers taking on Disney, attempted heroes journeys and the necessity of magical amulets.
Merry Christmas from all of us here at Kneel Before Blog. For this year’s Christmas Special, we have formed another writer’s room to come up with a future Christmas classic. This year, our writers are tasked with crafting a post-apocalyptic Christmas blockbuster where Santa is one of the few survivors of an apocalypse and works to free the world of the tyranny of a sentient Christmas toy. Geoffrey Wright takes on the role of Santa Claus, using all of the resources at his disposal to save humanity.
Kneel Before Pod gets a MovieVersaries flavour and commemorates the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever. The conversation covers the changing face of superhero movies, merchandising and sanctioning Jim Carrey’s buffoonery.
November 2025 is over and the festive season is upon us but before that we take care of the business of discussing the news and trailers revealed during the month. The conversation covers more revivals, the return of the romcom and repressed frolicking desire.
October is over and the news cycle continues to turn. The conversation covers horror concepts, unnecessary adaptations and the joy of Netflix Christmas.
Spooky season is in full swing and Kneel Before Pod resurrects the Halloween special. This year we compare and contrast John Carpenter’s 1978 classic Halloween with its 2007 remake by Rob Zombie. We discuss setting the standard, directorial artistry and being scared.
Recently Craig had the pleasure of talking to actor Dean Redman, who recently guest starred in the first episode of Boston Blue. They discuss acting with CGI, meeting your heroes and the importance of recognising stunts.
September has ended and Kneel Before Pod brings you a breakdown of the news and trailers from that month. The conversation covers returning to wells, Star Wars back in theatres and recasting Stallone.
