This week we review and discuss The Surfer, a psychological thriller movie directed by Lorcan Finnegan and starring Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon and Miranda Tapsell, about a man who plans to surf at an idyllic beach with his son but becomes thwarted and tormented by the locals.

We discuss why this movie may be the most polarising one we've reviewed so far, our interpretation of the movie's themes of ambition and compromise, what we thought of Nicolas Cage's performance, how The Surfer is really a Christmas movie, and much more.
