Ending the season on a magical high chosen by the listeners. The more we get into this episode the more magic we realise The Parent Trap (1998) is.

Jennifer’s Body: butchered by the marketing campaign 46:14

5M ago46:14

46:14

Mean Girls meets Scream? This week we passionately and lovingly rant about the cult classic, Jennifers Body (2009).

The Holdovers: a masterclass in casting and dialogue 39:15

6M ago39:15

39:15

This week we watch The Holdovers to finally see what all the awards fuss was all about. A film that has so much heart, it follows Paul Giamatti as an unlikeable teacher at a boarding school who is forced to chaperone a handful of students with nowhere to go over Christmas. Convincingly set in the 70s, the film was committed right down to the old sc…

The Zone of Interest: when the credits roll and the shame washes over you 37:40

6M ago37:40

37:40

Talking about Jonathan Glazer’s Auschwitz-set film The Zone of Interest this week was both really hard and in many ways very easy. Easy because it’s a masterclass in sound design and unusual cinematography choices. Obviously film students should be studying this for years to come. But this is no easy watch - it's a film that leaves you questioning …

May December: A film that gave us a morality crisis 50:48

7M ago50:48

50:48

Never have we done such a 180 whilst recording an episode. Directed by Todd Haynes, we agreed May December is a gripping and technically brilliant film. By the end of the episode, we question whether we should like it so much. The film is inspired by real scandalous events and based off of real victimized people, so does Hollywood really have the r…

The Iron Claw: the crazy truth, the shattered masculinity and the triumph of Zac Efron 41:13

7M ago41:13

41:13

We buckled ourselves down for a film about shattered masculinity (one of Han's favourite genres) and came away wholly impressed, but conflicted. Why didn't it make most of us cry? What was missing?
