It’s Friday, and as if that wasn’t cause enough for celebration there’s a shiny new Mouth Off podcast for you to enjoy as you dive facefirst into the weekend.
This week talking celluloid smoke and mirrors with me are HeyUGuys writer Craig Skinner and Brendon Connelly from /Film, and the films we are lining up against the critical wall this week are Jon Favreau’s bombastic Iron Man 2, Vincenzo Natali’s genetic horror Splice and Chris Morris’s long awaited feature film debut Four Lions.
We also kick around the ever expanding Marvel universe and how Iron Man 2 slots into the bigger picture, and of course we have our Ripped from the Crypt section which this week has a few choice picks from the realms of esoteria. Below I’ve included a few clips of what we chose.
As always do leave your comments and suggestions below,...

Chris Morris hits a raw nerve in his take on homegrown terror in which the police are as bumbling as the jihadi bombers, writes Andrew Pulver
Chris Morris is still the most incendiary figure working in the British entertainment industry. Even if you have not read reports of Four Lions' premiere at Sundance, it should come as no surprise that Morris – the man behind surreal short film My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117, and the TV series Nathan Barley, has taken on arguably the most bad-taste subject imaginable: a cell of homegrown jihadi bombers, feverishly plotting martyrdom from terrace houses in Doncaster.
The title is offered up with sledgehammer irony: our crew of wannabe killers are as fervent as football fans, and at one point — in a parody of the 7/7 tube bombers' group hug caught on a station surveillance camera — cuddle up and chant motivational phrases.
