As the Pod turns 10 (weeks old), Lewis and Branden sit down to talk about Buster Keaton and his 1924 feature Sherlock Jr. They talk about Silent Film, awe inspiring stunts and Keaton as a cinematic trailblazer. Be fair warned though that Keaton is one of Lewis’ cinematic hero’s, so most conversations end with ‘he’s just brilliant.’ Thank you so much for the support on the previous episodes, we lov...

2021 is at an end, and we take a few minutes to look back at our top 5 films that we watched this year!

As huge web-heads we couldn’t possibly let perhaps the most important Spider-Man film to date be released without sitting down to talk about it AT LENGTH. If you haven’t seen No Way Home, please go see it before listening to this show! We talk about the film, plot points and where it sits in the MCU. We also spend too long trying to work out when this film takes place in relation to other MCU film...

This Episode Lewis and Branden are joined by friend and film buff Zach to talk about Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty for Me (1971). For this episode we tried a new way to record; watching the film together and then immediately pressing record to talk about it, so we had no time to research. We talk about Eastwood’s career, his status as a sex symbol (which carries to this day… apparently) and the grea...
