The Review at the End of the Universe
The Parrs return for another super powered family adventure in Brad Bird’s long awaited Incredibles 2. The Incredibles came out before the current superhero renaissance that currently fills screens. There were superhero films at the time but not to the same extent or standard that we have now so it stood out as something new,…
Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park is one of the most enduring and iconic blockbusters ever released. The upcoming release of the newest entry to the franchise and the timing of the 25th anniversary of the film’s release it seemed like the perfect time for Kneel Before Pod to have a conversation about this landmark film. The…
Marvel’s latest cinematic event Avengers: Infinity War is right around the corner so we took the opportunity to talk about the first film that brought the Avengers together as well as the universe it lives in. The discussion was so long that it had to be split into two parts but the team have a…
Since the last time I did this list there have been more films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so I saw fit to update that list ahead of the imminent release of the long awaited Avengers: Infinity War. I’ve altered some of the text on the entries that belonged to the previous list where…

The recently Christened Monsterverse delivers its second entry with Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ Kong: Skull Island which marks the return of the iconic giant ape last seen in Peter Jackson’s 2005 film King Kong. I wasn’t a fan of Godzilla. Despite its beautiful cinematography and exciting monster fight sequences the general experience was a dud so I…
It seems to be a common held belief that, of late, Tim Burton has lost his mojo somewhat, and become a bit of a parody of himself. Many would place the blame for this at the feet of such films as Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and Dark Shadows, where he has lent very heavily…
David Yates’ The Legend of Tarzan brings back the most adapted character in history for a new adventure. The twist with this one is that it’s set after the Tarzan stories have already happened so it seems to want to do its own thing. Think Hook but with more Apes. It’s a good idea. Most…
Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film is also his second western and by his own admission, we can expect at least one more. To say that is an exciting prospect after The Hateful Eight would be a major understatement. The film opens on snow covered, western landscapes that would feel at home in any John Ford epic….
