The Watchers Film Show: Lockdown Special 6

Our sixth Lockdown Special is here!

In this edition, we take a look at the IMDb Top 250 films countdown, and pick one that we haven't watched and report back on it. A film show reviewing films... how unusual!

Biting social satire, the vagaries of a Warwickshire accent, and a long-owned but never-watched DVD all come into play in this edition, which will be the last Lockdown Special as the UK is now starting to come out of lockdown; fear not, we will be returning to our usual audio/podcast shows!

In case you missed them, here are our previous Lockdown Specials:

Lockdown Special 1 - Feelgood Films

Lockdown Special 2 - Release Schedule Changes

Lockdown Special 3 - Moviemind

Lockdown Special 4 - 1980s Decades Chat

Lockdown Special 5 - Guilty Pleasures

Here are also our Feelgood Films posts, if you want some suggestions for cheery films to get you through these trying times:

Part 2 - Mrs. Doubtfire and Galaxy Quest

Part 3 - Sci-Fi Special

The Watchers Film Show: Lockdown Special 3

In our third Lockdown Special, we revive something we first did way back in 2012 for our First Birthday Show - Moviemind!

The three of us all chose an individual specialist subject which the other two compiled questions on, then we bring in a very special guest Quizmaster for a quick-fire general knowledge round.

Which Watcher won? Well, watch! 

The Watchers Film Show: Lockdown Special 2

In the second of our Lockdown Specials, we discuss the current state of play with cinema and the amended release schedule for several of the big movies that were due to be released over the coming months. 

This information was accurate at the time we recorded the Special, however, because the circumstances we are in are constantly shifting, they may have already changed again!

So, if you want to find out when to expect films such as No Time To Die, Black Widow and Fast & Furious 9, check out the video above!

The Watchers Film Show: Lockdown Special 1

We're not letting a minor inconvenience like the COVID-19 lockdown stop us from chatting about films!

In this first Watchers Film Show: Lockdown Special, we chat about how we're dealing with life under the new rules, and highlight some more of our Feelgood Films! You might be surprised by some of our choices...

Check out the video above!

We've also done some maintenance work on the Watchers Productions page, and our entire past archive of Watchers Film Shows (both video and audio) are available to watch there. So if you fancy seeing how Rhys, Tez, and Matt looked nearly ten- TEN!- years ago (and hearing our contemporary opinions of the films of the time), check them out!
