Underrated – Details, episodes & analysis

Zo Richardson from ⁠Back Look Cinema⁠ joins Derick to discuss what worked about the film and why it ultimately failed to connect with audiences.

The pseudo-sequel to beloved classic The Wizard of Oz, the one and only film directed by the great Walter Murch is pure 80s nightmare fuel and quite possibly the weirdest studio film ever made.

We continue our series Big Swing by talking about this 2019 film directed by Robert Rodriguez based on the manga and OVA Battle Angel Alita. Despite making around $400 million at the box office the huge price tag of this movie may actually mean it didn't turn a profit. The film clearly sets up a sequel but the jury is still out on if it will receive one.

To ring in the new year we are bringing you a special mini-series where we look at Big Swings! The first of witch is Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, a 2015 film starring Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevine. "Big Swings" are the huge risks that come around every few years. They are usually flawed but incredibly interesting films. Almost always a huge failure at the box office. 

They fulfill the following criteria;  1) Hugely imaginative  2) Massive special effects budget  3) Impressive worldbuilding  4) Kinda bonkers  5) Not part of an existing film franchise
