18/01/2016 Duration: 36minAfter last week's untimely death of David Bowie, we decided that it was only proper to do one of his movies for this week's episode of Movieing On.

04/01/2016 Duration: 37minThis week, the team joins forces to talk to each other for a solid 38 minutes about the 1985 movie Explorers. You can expect the first act of our discussion to be promising. The second act of our discussion is entertaining and charming, but then everything just falls apart at the third act and leaves you ultimately disappointed. No; wait, that's what we thought about the movie! The IMDb synopsis of the movie reads as follows: A boy obsessed with 50s sci-fi movies about aliens has a recurring dream about a blueprint of some kind, which he draws for his inventor friend. With the help of a third kid, they follow it and build themselves a spaceship. Now what?
