Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosts: David McVay & Josh Philpott

This week we review the new Danny Boyle film, “127 Hours” and re-live the greatness that was Schwarzenegger’s “Commando”. We also have some take a look at a few new trailers in our Entertainment Buzz section (including “Captain America” and “X-Men First Class”). We also deliver a brand new Lists of Five – Five Survival Films. So sit back, pop in your earbuds, grab a cold one and enjoy. Film Actually is the official movie podcast of geekactually.com.

*Update 31/07/2012 – Film Actually was a split off from the main Geek Actually show and originally maintained numbering continuity with that show. That logic no longer works as the shows have become two unique entities, so we have gone back and re-numbered the Film Actually shows to reflect their true episode number. This show is now officially episode 27 but when you listen to the show you will hear it referred to as episode 119, this is why. Sorry about any confusion or inconvenience.

Film Actually is recorded live every Saturday. Go to geekactually.com/live for the schedule and to watch it

Forgotten Films: Against The Dark

After stumbling across this gem on sale, hidden at the very bottom of an already heavily reduced DVD bin, I figured that was only fair after my recent review of Under Seige to have a look at the more recent work of one of our favorite action stars, Steven Seagal, and what I got was a very unique experience.
