Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1)

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) 3 days ago 4.5/5 This film seriously rocks. Funny, moving, dishy and beautifully made; there's an overhead shot of hockey players dramatically scrambling for a puck that looks like a living Rembrandt. Go to Full Review Hard as Puck (2026) - - - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Oct 16, 2026 2.5/5 The VHS franchise follow up their best ever instalment (Halloween) with maybe their worst. Fantastic gore and creature design as always, but this music-themed anthology is never scary enough or funny enough. Go to Full Review V/H/S/MIXTAPE (2026) 48% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Oct 16, 2026 5/5 NAZA succeeds as great journalism and great cinema alike. I won't soon forget the tone and framing of this film, as an ethnic cleansing and the spycraft that enables it is recounted with eerie stillness. Go to Full Review NAZA (2026) 100% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Oct 9, 2026 3.5/5 Miike uses his considerable talents to manipulate the viewer with this true-crime (if that's even the right phrase) melodrama, but dammit, he got me. Go to Full Review Sham (2025) 83% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Oct 9, 2026 3/5 Entertaining if not illuminating, the ominous and roiling dramatic irony of Sorkin and Fincher's icy Social Network is flattened into an archetypical Sorkin schema for The Social Reckoning. Go to Full Review The Social Reckoning (2026) 54% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Sep 27, 2026 3.5/5 This is cinema with the difficulty setting on 'extreme' but if you can give it your attention and focus, you might just sink into its ambient pixelation and witness a kind of beauty that can't be contained by its medium.

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Sep 11, 2026 5/5 If you got distracted by a couple of janky close-ups, you mustn't have been paying attention to the death-defying velocity of the camera, the stunningly detailed tangibility of the production design, and the rip-roaring score. An absolute triumph. Go to Full Review Hope (2026) 79% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Sep 4, 2026 4/5 The hamster wheel of adulthood gets ironed out into an endless road with this witty thriller that riffs on both No Exit and Reality Bites. Phinehas Yoon is utterly fantastic. Go to Full Review It Ends (2025) 93% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Aug 28, 2026 3.5/5 It's tricky to cinematically realise the creative practice of writing, and this film hasn't cracked the code, but Kristen Stewart has still made a visually and sonically compelling movie, with Imogen Poots the astounding centre of her desilvering frame.

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Aug 28, 2026 3.5/5 Very funny, very arch comedy that both elevates the conversation around sex and deflates it. Because while it may be the intersection at which all relationships are negotiated, it's also pretty silly too. Gregg Araki gets that. Go to Full Review I Want Your Sex (2026) 92% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Aug 7, 2026 4/5 Fantastically funny and uniquely sweet, but at its best and most pleasingly weird when Schoenbrun applies the tone of a Douglas Sirk-ian melodrama to the milieu of an '80s video nasty.

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Aug 7, 2026 3.5/5 I respected the balletic musicality of the fight choreography, which really embraces the notion of the recurring pas de trois. But I really liked the bit where the two guys fought by throwing bikes at each other. Go to Full Review The Furious (2025) 97% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Jul 31, 2026 2/5 A missed narrative opportunity, and a witless descent into the creative depths of the MCU that Spidey had otherwise swung safely above. Go to Full Review Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) 90% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Jul 31, 2026 3/5 Jake Johnson, Mary Steenburgen and Aaron Chen are extremely affable in an earnest comedy that every so often shows flashes of extra life through an outrageously funny riff. Go to Full Review The Dink (2026) 76% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Jul 24, 2026 2/5 A film that believes the ironic detachment of its Looney Tunes violence is given weight by the gravely earnest treatment of its surrounding subject matter. Its fatal flaw is that it believes it can "earn" cruelty. Go to Full Review The Last Viking (2025) 90% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Jul 17, 2026 4/5 As much of a magic trick as any special effects extravaganza. I sit, mouth agape, watching as these miraculous distractions present themselves to John Wilson, who follows them to their beautiful resolutions, and wonder: 'How does he do it?'

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Jul 17, 2026 5/5 We have a big time filmmaker who has now dedicated two consecutive blockbusters to this now-radical idea: there is no justifiable morality to be found in a "clever" warmonger. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -

Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) Jul 10, 2026 4.5/5 A truly special comedy that is both hilarious and heartbreaking, and one that manages to find (or invent?) a third gear of serene violence by the end. A collision of tones that works in an uncommonly great way. Go to Full Review $POSITIONS (2025) 89% - -
