After the utter horror of 2020, both for the accessibility of cinema and the box office in general, 2021 saw the second coming of the theatre experience, back with a bang and sorely missed. From the new phase of superhero blockbusters to more independent and thought-provoking pieces, there was plenty to sink our teeth into. You know the drill, 3 chaps, 3 choices for favourite films of the year.

The Reel Cut Season 2: Electric Bugaloo. Never has there been a more hyped return since Stone Cold Steve Austin delivered a stunner to every member of the WCW roster in 2001. Scott was too busy prioritising being a new father to turn up for the premier episode of season 2 so that meant it was up to the gargantuan shoulders of Mark and Nick to carry us through a retrospective of 2021 TV highlights. It was all following the same formula till Nick turns us into an episode of Lore half way through as we delve into the insane background of the set to ITVs hit mini-series Time. 

One became two in this last few weeks as The Reel Cut welcomed another father to its ranks. Scott won't be with us on this episode as he welcomes a new life into the world of his own creation, the paternity pay from The Reel Cut is quite frankly a breach of international human rights so he won't be gone long as he can't afford to be. In his absence, Mark and Nick (already a wizened and battle hardened dad) discuss who the best movie papas are in tribute to the new arrival. We also break down a few of our favourite horror movie cliches with All Hallows Eve right around the corner and offer up more than a few suggestions of spooky cinematic treats to feast upon this ghoulish season.
