Kino Kingdom 24: Russian Snoring

In this action-packed episode of Kino Kingdom, Rupert gives his take on each film in the Rocky series as Britt once again wanders the action-thriller landscape in search of gold. Everything is here - from a Welsh John Woo through Kevin Bacon playing with a protractor to Richard E Grant singing nursery rhymes at a murderer. Oh, and Britt 'Darfurs' himself ONCE AGAIN.

Kino Kingdom 23: The Star Wars Special

Kino Kingdom 23 brings a new feature in 'Britt's Random Film Title generator! Which is a physical and very real machine that definitely isn't not real.
As it's the festive season, Britt squeezes in some Christmas films alongside the usual solid bronze. Rupert however, shuns Christmas and instead smashes through almost every Star Wars film, including spin-offs! This is of interest to Britt as he has never seen a single one of them, nor does he intend to... or does he?

Kino Kingdom 22: A Touch of the Walter

A strong week! From CGI monster-fests to modern critical darlings, political thrillers and '80s horror, Rupert and Britt delve deep this week in finding the gold.

Kino Kingdom 21: A Plinth of Mediocrity

Britt discovers a thriller with an alternate title that literally explains the plot whilst Rupert dives into the Resident Evil movie franchise. An old favourite makes an appearance, as does a Hellraiser rip-off and a film with MASSIVE phones starring a man known for walking around 'sans pantalons'.

Kino Kingdom 19: An Awful Haircut That Transcends Gender

A tough title to choose this week due to their being some absolute keeper moments in this episode. It's a busy one! Britt was not only Darfur-ed but also Reverse Darfur-ed (patent pending)  and we ground  from 80's classics (and lost classics) and modern, thought-provoking documentaries to a film that Britt feels will be one that he holds close forever, so good that Rupert actually BUYS IT based on the passion of his review. Good.
