"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" someone once said, and by a similar token there is simply no way to talk about Detective Pikachu. But Sam tries. He also informs you that the representation of dogs is much improved in the third John Wick film, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. The dog in the first film was a mere victim, in the second it's a passive companion, and in the third dogs actively bite the shit out of people to help John Wick. That's got to be progress. Danny meanwhile reviews the Colombian gangster epic Birds of Passage, from the acclaimed director of Embrace of the Serpent, which is definitely for grown-ups.We also speculate about how and indeed why Chris Rock will handle the Saw franchise, we wonder how crisp the suits will be in Lord Nolan's latest grandiose Ozymandias-like project, and we revisit an old fave, Charles Angels 2: Full Throttle.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
