Jon Favreau – Why Do I Love Him So?

One of the side-effects of making a podcast is that I find myself thinking about movies a great deal. Not a hugely surprising fact I grant you. I am forever pondering interesting top 5 categories. Internal debates rage about themes for the movies we…

Harry Potter

My name is Peter Andre, and this is my first ever blog. For anything. I’m still not entirely sure “what is a blog”, however I am bloggering about the movie franchise HARRY POTTER, which I think, from a forty-something dads point of…

Dune

Well, this has sat dormant in my viewing history. A must see sci fi. A film said to me by the knowing that I should watch. To fully appreciate the journey film, set design, visual effects have made, I must see this film. The soundstage by Brian Eno …

And Now for Something Completely Different

Signal failure has led the Dads to veer wildly out of their lane. Instead of visual stimulation, today I’ve decided to note down a few thoughts about some music. Not so much of a hot take, more lukewarm edging towards ice cold. Much like our …

The Bone Collector

The Bone Collector (1999) is neither the name of my sex tape nor my autobiography but is in fact a mediocre crime thriller in the vein of the far superior Se7en. Denzel Washington plays the improbably named Lincoln Rhyme, a brilliant forensic scient…
