BooF FM

Tune in to this weeks episode, focusing on the movie experience of the year. We have boofed everything, why would we deceive you? We are still not over the spectacularly labyrinthine, mind-meltingly meta layering of YCSE. The three-hour docu-reality of silicone swindler Elizabeth Holmes has all the hallmarks of a decade-defining piece of work. It has become the highest rated film on Letterbox'd ov...

Our favourite filmic time of year is here! Spooky season is upon us, and we've compiled the most horrifying watchlist for you. We've been obsessing over the re-release of Ken Russell's cult horror classic The Devils. Mired by controversy and subject to scrupulous studio intervention and edits, the new directors cut and restoration shows the film how it was intended to be seen - in all of it’s depr...

We've been keeping a very close eye on Lance Oppenheim in anticipation of Primetime, investigating his previous works and his dystopian portraits of the American outsider. Fitting then that his narrative feature debut serves us a biopic of televisual vigilante Chris Hansen. The dread-ridden nostalgia piece surveills the paranoia and panopticism of a post 9/11 US. In the context of his blooming fil...

We’ve been struck down with a case of long viff since the festival ended, however we are back on the airwaves today. BooF does VIFF fest part two! After viewing 20 new releases in the festivals short runtime we will be turning our attention to our hits and misses from the second week of the festival. Among these will be centrist porn Fjord, courtroom caper Prosecution, two achromatic Sandra Hüller...

Beautiful boofers, huge week here for all film lovers as the 45th annual VIFF Fest is well and truly under way - and we’ve got the keys to the cookie jar. Tune in to hear our roundup of everything VIFF we saw in week one, including: Gay anime Jim Queen, dream-like-doc A Distant Call, soccer apocalyptic Heysel 85, hedonistic heartwarmer Club Kid, Coon carried The Liberation, slurred-speech slice of...

It’s been a huge week for Lance Oppenheim, with the release of his much anticipated Chris Hansen biopic Primetime. This week has also seen the release of the unsettling first trailer for his Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything, co-directed by Nathan Fielder. Before these hotly anticipated releases we decided it would be appropriate to look back through the documentarian’s nascent...

This week we have a very special interview with the filmmaker behind one of this year's boldest releases. Elliot Tuttle joins us to discuss his daring feature, Blue Film. When findom camboy Aaron Eagle (Kieron Moore) is offered $50,000 by an anonymous paypig to spend a night together, he accepts, not realizing he is meeting a vestige of his past. Hank (Reed Birney), a former teacher and convicted...

This week we decided to honour some listener requests. We know you've been busy boofing. This week we boof your favourite movies. Firstly we are turning our attention to the high-wire tension of the British prison system, as seen through the eyes (and iPhone) of Cal McMau in last year’s Wasteman (2025). A film which was initially supposed to be a Safdie Brothers’ picture, it foregrounds the perfor...

We are excited to announce that BooF FM Summer Camp is now accepting applications! Kicking off camp in style: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Jane Schoenbrun’s growing catalogue of nostalgia-drenched, hyper-meta horror films has a new entry, this time attempting to reframe the placement of the queer body in the ‘final girl’ slasher film. Narrating dynamics of desire and awakening, Schoenbrun...

First order of boofness: Anthony Bourdain. Matt Johnson’s bildungsroman of the bon viveur raconteur serves as an origin story of the rock and roll chef. His risqué chronicles of the ne’er do wells and boys behaving badly of the culinary underbelly make for bold cinematic exploration. Why then did this leave Jessie in tears? We will be poring over the individual ingredients of AI24’s new release -...

Faithful BooFers. One of our most anticipated films of this year is finally in (a few) theatres. One of the show's all time favourites and agent provocateur of American independent cinema Gregg Araki is back, and he wants your sex. With I Want Your Sex, Araki's "sex positive note to Gen-Z" comes one of the year's most predictably bawdy, brash and borderline vexatious releases. But does the sexual...

Bonjour Boofies. This Thursday we will be traversing through fragments of time and memory, dipping down through the uncanny valley before landing in… Cornwall? Mark Jenkin has emerged as a forerunner in the new heritage of British independent cinema, capturing the nostalgic and other-world imaginary with his retro-technical formalism. Shooting exclusively with Bolex handhelds on 16mm developed by...

Fizzy Bum Gang. The film event of the year is here. To mark the occasion we will be embarking on an odyssey-like journey in this weeks episode, using the full hour to discuss both Chistopher Nolan’s and Homer’s the Odyssey. With the whole world Homermaxxing we decided it was appropriate that we too dance the Homeric beat, using the film to ask what about the text has endured to remain so ripe for...

Fizzy Bum Gang, you are cordially invited to BooF's couple counselling night. You can join us along with three other couples who are in need of serious intervention. We will also be serving jamón. Our first candidates are Joe and Angela who come to us courtesy of The Invite, Olivia Wilde's dramedy about a marriage running long beyond its expiration date. Featuring Seth Rogan and Olivia herself arm...

We've boofed Maddie's Secret to avoid tasting it, but we'd recommend that you try it the standard way. The directorial debut of John Early boasts an impressive cast of freak comedians that will surely satisfy your hunger if you've been as starved as us for a high camp indie takeaway. If you've already gobbled this up and are looking for an even richer, more melodramatic masterpiece de resistance,...

We’ve decided to investigate the intersection of two very different queer films released this June; Adrian Chiarella’s homophobia horror Leviticus and Hayley Kiyoko’s transmedia bildungsroman Girls Like Girls. With both these releases we will be analyzing how frameworks provided by genre can be used in very different ways to explore identity and queerness - and how both horror and the coming of ag...

Curry Barker's foray into film, Obsession, has been the belle of the boof this summer. It's traditional Monkey's Paw makeup has defied expectations by showing Hollywood can still produce interesting and profitable projects, and that not all YouTubers are unemployed. We will be asking what insights we can gain from this and other tales of amour fou. Where does it fit in the canon of romance-gone-wr...

This week the BooF Brigade are celebrating the release of the year's second school-shooter comedy. Oscar Boyson's directorial debut Our Hero, Balthazar was one of our favourite films shown at VIFF last year, and so we invited Oscar onto the show to talk about the film and it's release in Canadian theatres. Oscar has been a stalwart in the New York independent film circuit, working as a producer on...

It seems the movie-going market has been cornered by socially conscious fashion-focused films. We have keenly boofed the newest films of this nascent trend and are ready to undress them. With Boots Riley filtering the colonial world of high fashion through his surrealist, marxist-motivated lens in I Love Boosters, and the Devil Wears Prada 2 waging war on the technologization of fashion, journalis...

Everyone and their mothers have been boofing Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama, marking his second cancel culture comedy of this decade. We decided to review the film (without spoilers), and then look past the aggressive marketing strategies and ask what compels the edgelord writer/director to tell these stories. Perhaps it has something to do with an essay published by the director on an age gap rela...

With the predictably divisive reception to Emerald Fennel’s "Wuthering Heights" (2026) we decided to take a look. That’s right. We’ve watched the film. We’ve read the book. Now we’ve decided it’s high time we focused on: Women. Who are they? What do they want? Why are they so good at writing and subsequently adapting things? We will be looking at other works written by young women and adapted for...

With the universal boofing of Hamnet we decided to look into this guy for ourselves. Who is he? What makes his stories so ripe for regurgitation? Is his earring historically accurate? We demanded answers! In episode one Jessie and Seán will be reviewing Hamnet, and in doing so taking a cinematic trip throughout the globe to see what it is that makes his stories so universal for reimagining and rei...
