Films Under Discussion

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. It's spooky season and we're doing our first Halloween special and Jack is ecstatic. We've left it fairly open to allow for a broad scope of horror films or otherwise to make the cut, but will any of our choices give you a fright! At first it may seem an odd Halloween choice, but Paul has his reason's, he'll explain with his voice......

We've left it fairly open to allow for a broad scope of horror films or otherwise to make the cut, but will any of our choices give you a fright! Jack's been waiting a long time for both this theme and to talk about this film. The Empty Man has been o...

We're all just Mummy's boys at heart and so we've decided to let our Mums pick our films for this theme. The three most important ladies in our life have been tasked with choosing a film that they associate with us and explain why they think that. We'll see if mother really does know best! Paul's Mum has went for The Karate Kid. Another icon of cinema that is ingrained in the fabric of pop culture...

What's in a name? So many great characters have the most amazing name, but Paul has one simple challenge. Pick a film where the protagonist shares your name. Ok... Maybe this was more easy for Paul and Jack than it was for Des. Jack had an absolute smorgasbord of characters he could choose... but it was high time to do a deep dive into a movie that has been mentioned time and again on the pod. Las...

Maybe this was more easy for Paul and Jack than it was for Des. Derek did not have many options but has still managed to zero in on pop culture classic Zoolander. The FUD's immerse themselves in the world of male models and espionage as...

Maybe this was more easy for Paul and Jack than it was for Des. Paul has went blockbuster big with his pick! Paul Atreides... Duke or Arrakis. We'll be watching Dune (not the David Lynch one) and we'll be seeking some of the spice of li...

Jack feels that some films just come out at the wrong place and time. They're overlooked or overshadowed by a similar film released weeks apart or maybe they get a more successful remake... maybe they even get a TV series. It almost feels like you need an excuse to watch these films when the "superior" version exists... Or something like that. Ask Jack for more details... we're doing overshadowed...

There are many iconic trilogies for films. Star Wars, Lord of The Rings... The Cornetto Trilogy. But there are just as many flicks in cinema history where three characters in particular form a clear trinity within their narrative. So Des has challenged us as a trio of FUD's to pick out films that include A Cinematic Trio Caving to invisible and totally imagined peer pressure... Paul has continued...

Prepare yourself sports fans! We have another "Fud's of Future Past" special. All of our partners used to be part of our film club! And they have some ideas for what we should talk about on the podcast... Paul's partner loves a sports film... but doesn't watch a lot of actual sport. The Fuds have been challenged to pick a sport film they rate featuring a sport they would never watch. Jack wants us...

Jack loves a horror film. Des hates a horror film. Paul doesn't really care about horror films. As a compromise to get a bit of a horror fix Jack has challenged his fellow FUDs with picking a scary non-horror! Des has picked our most left field choice which doesn't seem to have the immediate hallmarks of anything particularly scary... but this really gives us insight into what truly terrifies Des...

As a compromise to get a bit of a horror fix Jack has challenged his fellow FUDs with picking a scary non-horror! Paul has picked a proto-pixar forerunner which even after the dodgy distribution and Disney drama still manages to spark so much online discourse due to the darkly disturbing tone the narrat...

As a compromise to get a bit of a horror fix Jack has challenged his fellow FUDs with picking a scary non-horror! We're off to see the wizard... wait... no we're not.

Oh hello there... I know usually you just read this in a passive voice and the fact that the blurb has become somewhat self aware is perhaps freaking you out... but fear not my intrepid FUD... we are simply breaking the 4th wall with our theme choice from Des. With Johnny Gossamer... there's always two cases that seem unrelated, then they come crashing together. Paul's film choice Kiss Kiss Bang B...
