suncoast

Featuring:
- Dr Bob Mann from One Mann's Movies & film reviewer on BBC Radio Solent;
- Scott Forbes from The Forbes Film and TV Review on Facebook; and
- The Reverend Andy Godfrey from Konnect Radio and Sorted Magazine. 

In this celebratory 50th episode Bob, Scott and Andy review the following films:

• Gassed Up: a gritty urban thriller set among moped gangs in London; 
• Suncoast: on Disney+, a bittersweet coming of age story against a background of grief;
• Lover, Stalker, Killer: on Netflix, a documentary about a bizarre true crime story; and
• The Promised Land: an unusual Danish 18th century Western with Mads Mikkelsen.  

We also run through the UK/Ireland Top 10 at the box office. 

And in Any Other Business: we look at this year's crop of Superbowl ad trailers, including the much anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine, and we preview a forthcoming film on streaming called "Head Shot". 

Note that the video version of the podcast, which also includes the hotly competed film quiz, is available on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_LenDEHqAQ. 

Music: Hip Jazz by Bensound.

On this mini-episode of Remainders, Darren and Patrick give their first reactions to Elvis, Baz Luhrmann's chaotic tribute to the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis the musician is a favorite of the hosts, and the anticipation for this one has been high. Between Austin Butler's singing and Tom Hanks' over-the-top performance, we'll see where the King lands.
