Olisa and Seun are back after the Easter holidays to talk about the movies they saw over the holiday season. Olisa talks about the sequel to the 2020 surprise video game film hit Sonic the Hedgehog and talks about how much he enjoyed its sequel, ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ with its love for the source material, non-intrusive easter eggs, solid and respectful additions and depictions of classic characters despite its less focused narrative. The pair also talk about new Netflix Original, ‘Man of God’ directed by Nigerian theatre lynchpin Bolanle Austen-Peters and are ultimately disappointed by the badly written script, odd editing and weak execution which hides a story with a lot of potential and a decent cast. Olisa's curiosity about cult favourite film, ‘Weekend at Bernie's’ makes him choose this flick as the week's classic. While the movie has a solid gag and premise the lads realize that even during its heyday this is a somewhat forgettable comedy with bland character archetypes and one that takes too long to set up its premise which admittedly holds the key to a good 25 minutes of solid gags. We hope you enjoy listening!
