Mission: Impossible – Fallout
The agents of the Impossible Mission Force are tasked with saving the world from total destruction once again in Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

Kneel Before Pod – Ready Player One – Going Outside is Bad
The release of a film as nerdy as Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One couldn’t pass this podcast by without marking its release with a discussion about all it has to offer. AS always the discussion covers a range of topics such as nerdy references, fear of internet trolls and comparisons between this film and the…
Ready Player One
Steven Spielberg brings a digital world to life in his adaptation of the wannabe cult classic novel Ready Player One. I’ll start with a brief overview of my feelings on the novel.

After our discussion of Star Trek (2009) it only made sense to talk about Star Trek Into Darkness. Natalie, Angus, Sandy and myself (Craig) got back together to discuss the divisive sequel and come to some form of consensus on what works and doesn’t work about it. This is the second podcast so all feedback…
Kneel Before Pod – Star Trek (2009)
Kneel Before Blog is branching out into the Podcast world and what better way to begin than talking about the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies.

Ice Age: Collision Course
Mike Thurmeier and Galen T. Chu’s Ice Age: Collision Course is the fifth entry in the Ice Age series and this time, the herd are tasked with saving all life on Earth. Yes, you read that correctly. This series has gotten so tired and bloated that it has got to this point. How could such…
