The year: 1996. The movie: Space Jam. The vibe: Immaculate!! And since then, the bar was set for cinema going forward...well, at least in our eyes.Biscuits & Blurays here and I take a movie and discuss in depth the highs, the lows, the things we liked, the things we didn't and decide whether [insert film name here] is better than Space Jam. A podcast for lovers and 'love-you-as-a-friend'ers of all things movie and cinema, join us on this fun, laid back and not at all time consuming journey.
