The Review at the End of the Universe
I’ve given you my worst of the year list so I’ll end the year on a positive note with the best. 2017 was another year of change for Kneel Before Blog. The biggest change was that we switched to a star rating system for film around halfway through the year. TV will continue to be…
A new Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is upon us in the form of Thor: Ragnarok and Kneel Before Pod is ready to cover it. Craig, Angus, Aaron, Chris -complete with a brief appearance from Natalie- don their Asgardian armour and talk through the highs, lows and laughs of the film. Join them as they talk…
The God of Thunder goes on a cosmic adventure in an attempt to save Asgard from an Apocalyptic threat in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok. There’s a recurring criticism that comes out when people talk about Marvel Movies. It is often said that the films all follow a slavish house style that doesn’t allow the individual…
“Hulk Hot” The experimental “Trailer Chat” feature continues on with a discussion about the recently released Thor: Ragnarok trailer. Much of it became about how many Thor puns can be crammed into a relatively short discussion and there is a liberal amount of conversational tangent but everyone gets across their thoughts on the first footage…
Jon M. Chu’s Now You See Me 2 is the sequel that nobody asked for to a film that –as far as I can tell- nobody loved enough to want to see more. It must have made money otherwise we wouldn’t be here. This time out, the Horsemen are tasked with stealing a computer chip…

So, it’s finally here. Joss Whedon’s eagerly anticipated follow up to the hugely successful The Avengers -or Avengers Assemble if you live in certain places- finally lands on cinema screens in the form of Avengers: Age of Ultron. This film has big shoes to fill given the success of the first one and the innate…
With the upcoming release of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron I figured I’d throw my hat in the ring and attempt my own Marvel Ranking. Below you’ll find my list of the Marvel movies in order of quality from worst to best. It’s something that a lot of websites do so I thought it’d be…
Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher adapts the true story of Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) being taken under the wing of a strange and dangerous sponsor named John du Pont (Steve Carell). Before going into the screening I knew almost nothing about the truth behind the story and that’s probably the best way to approach this…
Begin Again is the story of disgraced music executive Dan (Mark Ruffalo) who is at rock bottom in his life and career but finds inspiration when he meets talented singer-songwriter Greta (Keira Knightley) and throws himself into the project of creating an album with her. In terms of story and characterisation this film is fairly…
