Is it better than Space Jam? Happy Wicked Week! And because we can't quite review Wicked just yet, what better movie to talk about than The Wizard of Oz...and Tom & Jerry. Yes, we didn't fancy chatting about the original classic, we feel like everything about that movie has already been said so we've decided to see what Tom & Jerry can bring to the…

Is it better than Space Jam? Sigh Here we are again with another trailer talk episode. What a surprise that with Disney pumping out more live action movies than ever before that Dreamworks, a rival company, has decided that was a good business idea. How To Train Your Dragon hasn't even left the general public's mind yet but of course, let's inject …

Is it better than Space Jam? After a short break, we are back folks so why not chat about one of the worst films of all time. Today, we chat about Showgirls, an infamous film that needs to be seen to be believed. From its excessive nudity, its ridiculous writing, its shoddy editing, its over the top performances and one hell of a pool scene, Showgi…

Is it better than Space Jam? Stick to the moors, lads! Our final Halloween flavoured episode of the year comes with a bite. An American Werewolf in London is our weapon of choice and honestly, what a banger! Werewolves don't get nearly as many movies as the likes of vampires, zombies and witches (oh my!) but it doesn't get much better than this one…

Is it better than Space Jam? Can't wait to meet you. So join the animatronic family. Last year, this film came out and everyone asked if we'd talk about it so we did the only thing we could as responsible podcast hosts: We waited a whole year for the demand to die down. Five Nights at Freddy's is this week's Halloween episode and we are just two fo…

Is it better than Space Jam? Oooo who doesn't like a wedding special?! As most of you know, Jade and I get married this weekend and seeing as it's the spookiest time of the year, what better film to merge Halloween and weddings together than a stop motion film that Tim Burton actually directed. Corpse Bride is more of what you'd expect from Mr Burt…

Is it better than Space Jam? Welcome to our Spooky Season! We have four episodes this October and as it is the spookiest time of the year, we dip our toes into the horror genre and boy, do we start off light.

Is it better than Space Jam? Our last episode before we get spooky up in here! Welcome back to The Biscuits & Blurays Podcast, and here on this podcast, we are big fans of Back to the Future so we thought "Hey! Let's talk about it."

Is it better than Space Jam? We've nearly covered all the Star Wars movies now. Hurray! Although to be fair, if you've been living under a rock since 2005, you may count this as the finale of the saga. Return of the Jedi is the final film from the original trilogy, so let's talk about it. Your hosts, Jade and James, are here to chat about matte pai…

Is it better than Space Jam? Don't worry folks, it's spoiler free and if there are spoilers, they are minor. Beetlejuice has cast aside his floral shirt and isn't going to Hawaii. Instead, he's back up to no good in a sequel that should have come out much sooner. Everyone (well, almost everyone) is back for Tim Burton's latest cinematic release and…

Is it better than Space Jam? We're back folks! After a tiny little break, The Biscuits & Blurays Podcast: A New Legacy is back. Now in our fourth season, what better film to talk about than the fourth film in the Skywalker Saga; A New Hope.

We have picked an interesting film to close season three of the podcast, and thankfully it's a new release.

We are joined for a third time by the wonderful Kat from KissKatdoodles who chose to speak about a Disney film, and because we didn't know which one to talk about, we settled for Disney's first full length feature; Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs. Kat and I will be…

Is it better than Space Jam? KHAAAAAAAAAN!!! This is the first time we've ventured where no man has gone before and covered a Star Trek movie on the podcast and I couldn't think of a better guest to chat about it with than Mr Drew Baxter. A Trekkie all the way through to his core, Drew has picked The Wrath of Khan to chat about today, as we talk ab…

Is it better than Space Jam? SPOILER FREE! We've got your back folks. It's weird how a film can come out of nowhere and suddenly be the only thing anyone is talking about. Needless to say, we got swept up in it and felt the urge to chat about it. Longlegs (AKA Longle Eggs in our house) is a crime thriller that has everyone talking, with great revie…

Is it better than Space Jam? Hundreds of Beavers will be in UK & Irish cinemas from 9th July As season three keeps growing (seriously, it won't stop) we take another look at a film that we feel the need to talk about.

Is it better than Space Jam? Like a few movies from the 80's, this one involves a werewolf, but this time...he's a teenager. Lindsay Foster joins me again on the podcast and because she has a certain nostalgia about it, she has chosen to discuss the Michael J. Fox movie, Teen Wolf. It's a first time viewing for me and we both have plenty to say abo…

Is it better than Space Jam? It should have been Alien Vs Predator week, but what about this as a substitute? Lisa Frankenstein came out earlier this year and it left a huge impression on us. Frightfully original and drenched in 80's vibes, Diablo Cody is back baby! With the help of one Zelda Williams, they have made a film that'll become a cult cl…

No one would have believed that in the most recent part of the 21st century, that we would have promised a Fallout episode, but forgot the watch it so panicked and slammed this on. And you know what?

Is it better than Space Jam? It's morphin' time!! Seeing as we chose to do a film this oozy a while ago, we're so glad we didn't drop this for a less oozy film. We are both children of the 90's but only one of us watched this absolute banger. The other had to watch it for the first time in their 30s. With flips, kicks, spins and plenty of skydiving…

Is it better than Space Jam? Yo Ho Ho, and a bottle of rum... We're sailing through these Pirates movies but stopping of in the Port of Dead Man's Chest, an absolute banger of a movie.

Is it better than Space Jam? Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me... Take yourselves back to an easier time. No MCU. No Disney Plus TV shows. No cares in the world.

Is it better than Space Jam? Oh, hi Mark... Welcome to the latest episode of The Biscuits and Blurays Podcast where, for a change, we decided to take a look at a huge swing and a miss. The Room, Tommy Wiseau's magnum opus, is famously one of the worst films ever made. That much we can all agree on. However, since its release in 2003, it has become …

Is it better than Space Jam? We finally made it back to A Galaxy Far, Far Away... As we continue these Star Wars episodes in chronological order, it's Han Solo's time to step up and it's a real mixed bag.

Is it better than Space Jam? Folks, I'm going to level with you. We want you to watch the film more than we want you to tune in to this episode. There are spoilers in this episode.

Is it better than Space Jam? The Ghostbusters are back, baby!! Well, sort of... It's been a bit of a rocky road if you're a fan of those busters of ghosts, but finally we get a film that we think stands it's ground and kicks all kinds of ass.

Is it better than Space Jam? It was only a matter of time before this got rebooted, wasn't it? Ghostbusters 2016, or Answer The Call, was a big talking point upon it's announcement and things only got more toxic from there. With the director of Bridesmaids behind the camera and some talented people in front of it, you'd think this film would be lau…

Is it better than Space Jam? Welcome to the end of season two folks, and we go out with a cold, windy and wet movie.

Is it better than Space Jam? On this podcast, we compare films to Space Jam, but in our opinion, Space Jam would not exist if it weren't for this cartoon crime caper. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is a masterpiece of storytelling from Zemeckis and Spielberg, mixing live action detective work with animated tomfoolery and it remains a high point in animat…
