Trying to stay a day ahead of the devil, this time we’re delving into Gerard Butler’s latest release, the funny, bloody and bullet-strewn B-movie delight that is Copshop. Butler plays “legendary” Bob Viddick, a hired and highly skilled assassin, though he’s not very Wick-like. Smelling “like the devil’s’ asshole”, Bob doesn’t see killing as an… COPSHOP: episode 9 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
DRACULA 2000: episode 8 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
“The most seductive evil of all time has now been unleashed in ours,” says the poster, which is no way to talk about me and this episode’s guest. So good they name it twice — Dracula 2000, then a few months later in 2001, Dracula 2001 — this phenomenal (pheromonal?) Butler bloodfest positions Dracula as… DRACULA 2000: episode 8 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
Copshop: who is the bad guy?
Very spoilery, including the ending. Watch the movie first! Also, is the plural of man-bun man-buns or men-bun? (If you’re after my review of Copshop, it’s here.) I’m not angry, Teddy, just… disappointed. I have only myself to blame though. When someone tells you who they are, listen, and that includes having a man-bun, or… Copshop: who is the bad guy?

NEW Copshop clip: “Drop the gun…”
Fabulously sleazy cops ‘n’ killers thriller Copshop is out now in UK cinemas, and it’s well worth checking out. Watching it gives you the kind of dopamine surge you get from eating a massive donut while hiding behind a sanctimonious tome on clean eating: naughty but so good (not unlike Gerard Butler himself, one assumes). Butler… NEW Copshop clip: “Drop the gun…” Read More
Gerard Butler is back and he’s playing… a hitman?
*** Read my four-star Copshop review *** Wait, what? I feel like my two favourite actors have been shoved into the dodgy teleporter from The Fly and come out with their DNA all mixed up. The one-minute teaser trailer for upcoming thriller Copshop has arrived, and luckily — as I like my Hollywood lust-buckets to… Gerard Butler is back and he’s playing… a hitman? Read More
Greenland gets a sequel, which is sure to be a sm(ash)
Sadly they’re calling it Greenland: Migration rather than Greenland: Genesis, but I couldn’t be more excited, even though the first film — triumph of the human spirit notwithstanding — is one of the saddest movies I’ve sat through (about five times now!) Also, to all those naysayers questioning how you can do a sequel set in… Greenland gets a sequel, which is sure to be a sm(ash) Read More
LAW ABIDING CITIZEN: episode 7 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
Horribly violent. Morally bankrupt. Batshit from the first minutes. And I say that as someone that liked Law Abiding Citizen. This time I chatted to the delightful Harris Dang, all the way from Australia, about this B-movie thriller from 2009. Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton, a mysterious man seeking revenge a decade after his wife… LAW ABIDING CITIZEN: episode 7 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN: episode 6 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
This time I’m discussing the first movie outing of disgraced Secret Service agent Mike Banning, a man who attracts president-related disasters like I attract dog hair from my cream retriever when I’ve just put on new black trousers for a job interview. He’s on a boring desk job at the US Treasury (Mike, not my… OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN: episode 6 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
CORIOLANUS: episode 5 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
Coriolanus in the streets, Aufidius in the sheets. That’s our decision and we’re sticking to it. Fascinating, cultured, and sometimes a little too scratchy — me, and also my Gerrystorm podcast episode on CORIOLANUS. This is episode 5, and while my guest Paula and I have gone all Shakespearean I can assure you there isn’t… CORIOLANUS: episode 5 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
NIM’S ISLAND: episode 4 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
Cancel culture! Rip-off sequels! God! And what actually happens when you’re swallowed by a whale! Just some of the insights my guest – 9 year old Cassian – offered up when together we explored Nim’s Island. I am pretty good at knowing the limits of my own knowledge, so it was only right that I… NIM’S ISLAND: episode 4 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
PS I LOVE YOU: episode 3 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
While PS I Love You is often trite, it’s also sometimes touched by genius*, both deliberate and accidental. *Not Gerard Butler’s Irish accent. Talking me through the glories and disasters of our favourite post-millennial, post-mortem romcom, is PS I Love You expert and all-round Gerard Butler fan Kate Hudson – a woman who, if Oxford University actually knew anything… PS I LOVE YOU: episode 3 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
GEOSTORM: episode 2 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
I literally had to fly in from outer space, edit out 8,274 “umms”, and battle some light drizzle and unseasonably mild temperatures to bring you episode 2 of GERRYSTORM, the podcast dedicated to the filmography of our Greatest Living Weatherman, I mean Scotsman – Gerard Butler. This time I took on the ultimate challenge, aided… GEOSTORM: episode 2 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More
