Jonny is a filmmaker and Si is a 3D graphic artist. We are two brothers who love films. If you do as well, maybe you‘ll enjoy listening to us discuss movies, good and bad, while we relive our childhoods, deconstruct them and go off on tangents. Be advised, this podcast contains strong language, including sexual swearwords.

You wanna get nuts? I know a place that sells nuts and many assorted snacks! Let's get some nuts!
This week's episode is a solo affair, and no, I'm not talking about a middling Star Wars movie...or wanking...I just went to see a film that my partner in pod and biological brother, Si, has not seen.
I took an afternoon off and went to see The Flash by my lonesome. The film stars intermittently annoying Ezra Miller as the Scarlet Speedster, while a couple of previous Batmen show up to ensure audience turnout.
In the words of Louis from The Princess and the Frog - it didn't end well. Box office has been somewhat below expectations for Andy Muschietti's fanbaiting multiverse flick, despite some positive reactions, and while it is an amusing way to pass a couple of hours and Michael Keaton is always welcome, there are some issues that keep it from achieving greatness.
Listen on for my thoughts!
UPDATE!
This episode now comes with a generous helping of SI!
Si unexpectedly watched the movie and we chatted about it right here in this updated episode!
!!SPOILER ALERT!!

In 1980, Superman II was released to great fanfare and adoration, but it was NOT credited to original director Richard Donner. Donner had in fact been removed from the project halfway through the simultaneous filming of both movies and Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers '73) was brought in to replace him. The result is vastly different to what was planned. In 2006 Donner got the chance to unearth his discarded footage and recut the film to suit his original vision. Is it better? Is it worse? Well, that's what we're here to talk about!
We compare and contrast both films exhaustively with another visit to trivia corner (hosted this week by a pair of invading Daleks) and some more Jonny and Si bants that you can only get right here!

I'm going to teach you all something very very valuable right now about podcasting. Prepare yourselves, because these are pearls of wisdom right here.
The key to having a successful podcast is CONSISTENCY.
So here we are, willy nilly releasing episodes a couple of weeks apart, a couple of months apart...our last full episode was mid-April...so...yeah. Consistency. Always consistency.
Having said that, this episode is a cracker!
Where else can you get Movie News that's over a month old without going back and listening to old...
...
...yeah, I suppose you could do that. And why not? We have fun, don't we?
This week's episode deals with the absolute clusterfuck that was the making of Superman The Movie and Superman II.
And next week, we go into to detail comparing and contrasting Superman II the theatrical cut with the more recent Richard Donner Cut, the original director who was fired after having completed 80% of Superman II and was given a chance in 2006 to realise his vision. Also, we got a couple of Daleks to do Trivia Corner, so listen out for that...
Also be sure to take a gander at Si's pod art for this week, it's bloody gorgeous!
Enjoy!

Here's another bonus episode for you lovely people while we at WOSN er...get our act together.
It's-a us!
In this little amuse bouche, we talk about our kids and, along the way, we perhaps mention Puss in Boots and The Super Mario Bros Movie. We stopped short of showing pictures of our little ankle biters. I mean it's a podcast, you wouldn't be able to see them, that's just ridiculous.
In amongst the movie and tyke-talk, we regale you with anecdotes and delightful bon mots that you can only get here at What's Our Seat Number. It's classy, it's up-market. We also say "fuck" occaisonally because our vocabularies are low.
So, once again, slip on a pair of headphones, perhaps a gimp mask and some latex (we don't judge here) and put your feet up to enjoy yet another fun-filled episode of this here podcast.

Do you know your ABC? You'd better if Nic Cage is around...
This week, we went see Renfield, a new comedy/horror flick, which would have been just fine on it's own. Nicholas Hoult is a great actor, the premise - Dracula's familiar in modern day New Orleans joins a support group for the abused - is high concept and funny. But then you turn away. Then you blink. Then someone says "Nicolas Cage IS Draaaaacuuuulaaaa" and that's all she wrote. You've now spilled your hot choccy all down your nice new sweater in sheer excitement. Everything that that suggests and more is fulfilled in this movie. Repeat that to yourself in a whisper on a loop. Nicolas Cage is Dracula. Yeah, he is!
There's also another round of "Stop, Hey, What's That Sound?", movie news, trivia, dad puns and more sound clips than you can swish a cape at.
So, don’t have a tansy. Chuck that beverage soaked sweater in the wash, warm up some donor blood in the microwave and get ready to listen to yet another...erm, solid? Yeah, I'd say solid. Perfectly solid...episode of this here podcast.

How many filmmakers does it take to change an SD card? Why do we keep asking the talent to clap before a take? Why is there never a craft services trailer on my set?
All these questions and many, many more that you've always dreamed of asking...won't be answered in this episode. If you want to ask your own questions please send them to us on our Facebook or Twitter pages.
What we do have on this week's bonus episode is a Q&A sent in by devoted fan (and possible stalker) ShaCass, whose wife has tried to make me diet relapse by force feeding me an offical Scramballed cookie the other night at the Scramballed launch party...
By the way, Scramballed is a game on the Nintendo Switch that Si made. Give him some props, he deserves it.

Elsewehere, there's some sooooo last week belated Oscar chat, so stick around for that. Conclusions? Inconclusive. Just that the Oscars happened and something about Hugh Grant. Felt cute. Might publish. TL;DR - an episode happened.

This week, we review a PT Anderson-like instant classic about a mother searching for her daughter in the woods, a cop trying to find meaning in life by way of his love for dogs, a ranger trying to keep control of the local thugs, a pair of drug dealers finding friendship amid grief and suffering and...a bear hopped up on cocaine gone on a rampage, ripping anyone who gets in her way limb from limb.
That's right! It's Cocaine Bear!
You'll never look at another severed leg again without the desire to snort a line off it.
I'm fairly certain that when my daughter asks me to find her Winnie the Pooh toy tonight. I'm going to go look for it yelling "where's the BEEEEAAAARRRR!"
As usual, the Brothers Bantz (TM) er...banter, we give you your weekly dose of movie news and another round of Stop, Hey, What's That Sound? And later, trivia and VFX chat.
So grab your razorblade, roll up a 20, or simply have a friend pour a pack over your head while you wistfully sigh something about cocaine Christmas, and hit play. Do it.

What's Our Seat Number episodes are like buses. You wait months for one and then two come along at the same time.
Once again, we gift you, free of charge, free of obligation, free of wit or intelligence, a bonus episode of our illustrious, prestigious and presumtuous podcast.
Please enjoy the following prattle - we discuss the one thing that Jonny needs in order to bribe him into jumping out of a perfectly good plane sans spleen, we ruminate on the 80's "nice guys" of yesteryear (it WAS yesteryear, I'm NOT turning 40 in July) and we wrap up with a quick discussion about our favourite DC shows.
Enjoy, but don't go overboard. We don't want too much excitement at this age...

SCREAVI is the new Scream movie, bucking the trend of awkwardly stylized titles with numbers in them. No, I lie. It’s pretty awkward. At least they didn’t call it Scream 2.
We went to see this movie the other night and then recorded this very episode you hold in your ears, while sitting in the car. No one need ever rent studio time again, this is a patent, it sounds way better than doing it in an actual room in a building.
We chat about some fairly unrelated stuff and have some belated movie news (seriously, even the physical, printed papers are ahead of us) before diving into a discussion of the movie in general and then we go into spoilers with fair warning.
Pull up a chair, grab a steaming plate of Punkishin (or bowl? We haven’t decided yet) and savor every moment of this week’s episode, because Xenu knows when we’ll be able to do it again…
What should your end credits theme be? Let us know in the comments!

Yippee Ki-Yay mothercluckers! Fresh from game design stardom and slumming it with us once again, my co-host Simon Gross has finally returned! Much like chickens batting exploding eggs at each other with frying pans, our conversation this evening was once again fraught with banter, slurred words and the constant, unprofessional shitting of the proverbial and literal bed.
In this episode, we talk about late film critic Robert Eejit’s favourite Passover flick Die Hard (1988) starring Bruce McClane, Bonnie Langford, Dwayne The Rock Robinson, Reginald JeanValJeanson, Hart Bochhhhner, The Sherriff of Rottingham, Necros from The Living Daylights, Dickless from Ghostbusters, Him Out Of That Thing, Weird blonde bloke from The Money Pit and, in a bit part, Viggo the Carpathian.
Disclaimer - Movie News might be a tad out of date due to the break between episodes…but I think it’s…seamless. Merry Christmas, everyone!
So, when you get where you’re going, take off your shoes and your socks and walk around on the rug barefoot and make fists witcha toes. While listening to this episode of course. Yessir, better than a shower and hawt cup of cawfee. Trust me, I’m doin’ this fa niiiiiiine years.
In the meantime, I’ll just say farewell and wish you a very happy Yo Nesbow.
