This week the ChatFlix team head into darkest Romania circa 1943 to try and control The Keep careful not to awake a horrible demon that is housed within.

Michael Mann's 1983 film has more mystery and intrigue surrounding its production and release than the actual plot! Even the Tangerine Dream sound track is mired in controversy...

Early performances from Scott Glenn, Ian McKellen, Gabriel Byrne, Alberta Watson and a stand out Jurgen Prochnow battle against the demon and the production.

Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. Back in the year 2000 we witnessed an evolutionary leap when the X-Men arrived to protect mankind (even those who hate and fear them) ON THE BIG SCREEN!

Following Marvel’s cinematic adaptation of Before Blade (Ep #67) and before Spider-Man (Ep #44), the hit comic book super team would finally grace the silver screen with fan favourites like Sir Patrick Stewart, movie stars like Halle Berry and newcomers (remember that?) like Australian star of stage and TV; Hugh Jackman 

Taking a cue from Professor X, Brose has recruited a couple of social outcasts to help him chat this super hero flick; Looch and Jarrod.
