  • Barbie (2023): “Pink Shoes, Beach Jobs, and the Ghost in the Mattel Machine”

    Barbie (2023): “Pink Shoes, Beach Jobs, and the Ghost in the Mattel Machine”
    May 1 2026
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt return to Barbie to see if the pink-powered phenomenon still works without the full Barbenheimer buzz. Sophie revisits the joy of Barbie Land, Margot Robbie’s perfect casting, Ryan Gosling’s full Ken-ergy, and that America Ferrera monologue, while Matt questions Ken’s “beach” credentials and whether the film is secretly more about Ken than Barbie (he's obsessed with Ryan Gosling, evidently). There’s praise for the sets, the soundtrack, the 2001: A Space Odyssey opening, Dua Lipa hiding in plain sight, and a surprising amount of confusion around ghost logistics. Barbie still has plenty of sparkle, but outside the 2023 hype machine, the plastic starts to bend a little.

  • Project Hail Mary (2026): “Space Panic, Science Jokes, and Peak Ryan Gosling”

    Project Hail Mary (2026): “Space Panic, Science Jokes, and Peak Ryan Gosling”
    Mar 29 2026
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt head straight home from the cinema to talk about Project Hail Mary, a big, funny, surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi adventure powered almost entirely by Ryan Gosling doing what Ryan Gosling does best. There’s a dying sun, a panicked scientist, a spaceship full of problems, and an alien friendship that somehow manages to be both ridiculous and adorable. Sophie weighs up the film’s length against its charm and and Gosling’s ability to make swallowing a tablet feel relatable, while Matt marvels at the comedy and the practical effects, and both agree that this is far more than just “a space film”. It’s funny, warm, weirdly moving, and one of the most entertaining cinema trips they’ve had in a while, even if a few repeated beats stop it from reaching full masterpiece status.

  • Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026): “Brooding, Barges, and a Send-Off That Never Quite Lands”

    Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026): “Brooding, Barges, and a Send-Off That Never Quite Lands”
    Mar 23 2026

    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt finally tackle Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the long-awaited Netflix follow-up to the gangland saga that gave us hats, brooding, and Cillian Murphy staring into the middle distance like it’s an Olympic sport.

    Sophie goes in hoping for atmosphere, style and a proper send-off, only to find herself underwhelmed by fuzzy lighting, flat emotion and a plot that never quite catches fire. Matt is even harsher, questioning the script, the missing spark of the old series, and a certain typewriter-on-a-barge moment that nearly sends him over the edge.

    They dig into Rebecca Ferguson’s unconvincing gypsy mystique, Barry Keoghan’s Tommy-lite energy, the absence of the old family chaos that made the series sing, and the awkward truth that without the Peaky Blinders name, this might not feel like much at all. Stylish, brooding and occasionally gripping, but missing the bite, swagger and emotional punch that made the early seasons unforgettable.
