The 2026 backlog catch up!

It's the quietest week at the cinema we have had in a while, due to everything running scared from the Odyssey. So we decided to take a bit of a breather from new releases and take the opportunity to look at our 2026 backlog and give your our thoughts on three movies that have been released in the first half of the year. 

First up, Liam's pick is, "My Fathers Shadow". A UK, Nigerian co-production which tells the tale of two brothers on a day trip to Lagos with their distant father, a coming of age story where the realities of the political situation in 1993's Nigeria shine through. 

Then Luis reviews a movie he's been trying to get around to for a while now, "The Rip". The Netflix Action Crime Thriller which brings back the duo of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. They play narcotics police who go to stash houses and seize money. However they come across an amount of money, that if they just so happened to take it for themselves, it might change their lives for the better. 

Finally, Tom reviews "If I had legs I'd kick you". While it's been out a fair while in the states now (October 2025), we didn't get it over here until February. A story about Linda a psychotherapist who is also dealing with the stress of being a mother to a sick child. This was all the talk during Oscar season thanks to an incredible performance by Rose Byrne. 

Finally, we look at the big MCU hall H panel at San Diego Comic Con. 

All that and more! This is Splice Guys!
