Film chosen by listener Darren Grab a t-shirt featuring this episode's cover image (expertly coloured and finished by our very own Scarious Artists, Matt, from a sketch by Devlin) at our Teemill store! “I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of...

Episode 111: Casino (1995)

Film chosen by Gali Back home, they would have put me in jail for what I'm doing. Here, they're giving me awards. We’re heading to the neon oasis in the desert for Martin Scorsese’s grandiose 1995 Vegas-set crime epic Casino.  In 1973, gambling savant Samuel “Ace” Rothstein (Robert De Niro) is dispatched by his mob...

Episode 109: Flight of the Navigator (1986)

Compliance! We’re taking to the skies with the 1986 family sci-fi spectacular Flight of the Navigator from director Randal Kleiser. 12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer) walks through the woodlands near his Florida home to bring his irritating little brother back home before it gets dark. Instead, after losing consciousness due to a fall, David returns... Continue Reading →

Episode 107: Midnight Run (1988)

Film chosen by Aidan We’re joined once again by our good friend Aidan all the way from Vancouver to discuss one of his childhood favourites, Martin Brest’s foulmouthed 1988 buddy caper Midnight Run.

Episode 106: Jaws 3-D (1983)

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water (again), yet another Carcharodon carcharias is on the rampage in 1983’s stereoscopic sequel Jaws 3-D.

Episode 105: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

We couldn't be more chuffed to welcome back one of our favourite podcasters, Em from Verbal Diorama, as she brings us Robert Zemeckis’ madcap 1988 live action/animated hybrid noirtoon Who Framed Roger Rabbit. As an avowed enthusiast of all things animated, Em was gracious enough to offer her expertise and insight once again, after her... Continue Reading →

Episode 104: The Exorcist (1973)

Film chosen and introduced by Matt In every sense, 1999 was a year of profound horror. I was sixteen going on seventeen, and careering towards my final year of secondary school. The queasy terror of receiving distinctly average GCSE results—though thankfully they were good enough to nudge me into a technical college, accompanied by a... Continue Reading →

Episode 102: Querelle (1982)

Film chosen and introduced by Patrick I haven’t had a pick on the podcast for a while now, so what better than Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s theatrical, queer, surrealist adaptation of Jean Genet’s Querelle De Brest huh?! It’s a film that comes to mind every now and then, despite only one viewing back in 2007. I... Continue Reading →

Episode 101: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Introduced by Matt Discounting Piranha II: The Spawning—from which James Cameron claims to have been sacked, in a shrewd attempt to distance himself from, and disown it—and his underwater documentary work, he's only actually directed eight films, and for me, only three are worth your precious time: The Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day....
