The MCU gets a taste for flesh in Marvel Zombies, Miranda and Tamzyn’s here for the gore but not the overload.
With just four jam-packed episodes, this animated series throws Kamala Khan into a zombie apocalypse full of undead Avengers, Wanda Maximoff, and a few too many cameos for comfort.
Miranda breaks down why the pacing and character pile-up left her cold, while Tamzyn admits she’s glad it wrapped fast — before the chaos got too repetitive.
Together, they ask: does this feel like a full meal or just a messy snack between Marvel movies?

What if Vietnam wasn’t just hell — but full of dinosaurs?
That’s the wild premise of Primitive War, based on Ethan Pettus’s cult novel and directed by Luke Sparke.
Tamzyn and Miranda unpack the film’s blend of war drama and creature feature, from its surprisingly serious tone to the uncanny CGI raptors that occasionally break the spell.
Made on the Gold Coast with a modest budget, the film swings big on concept but struggles under its 2-hour-plus runtime.
Still, feathered dinos and gritty tension make it an ambitious addition to Australia’s growing genre scene.

This week, we polish our fangs and dive into The Radleys, a suburban vampire story that swaps castles for cul-de-sacs.

Tamzyn finds it charming and oddly YA in tone, while Miranda unpacks its deeper themes of addiction and shame.
Together, they explore why this film works better as family drama than vampire romp, and how its emotional core keeps it grounded in humanity rather than horror.
