Big Boys Don't Cry

It's the first episode of our month on romantic horror, and the first film for this is the 1986 David Cronenburg classic, The Fly. We discuss integrating romantic plots into horror films and vice versa, the creepy sexiness of Jeff Goldblum, monkeycats, remakes, and return to everyone's favourite cheeky-faced director, Darren Aronofsky.

Do you hear the podcast sing? It's our first discussion of a proper musical this week, as we watched the film adaptation of Les Misérables. We focus mostly on Russell Crowe's powerful bellowing, but also have time to discuss rapper BoB's efforts to discover if the Earth is flat (duh, obviously it is), and plan for our own stage show Vinnie Jones: The Musical (coming to the West End in 2019). Suppo...

It's our 20th episode, and it's a long ramble this week as we discuss the dated 90s high school classic Clueless. Development continues on our film, Sensations, we talk about current films just like real podcasters, and we discuss Darren Aronaronaronaronaronaronaronofsky and camouflage top hats.

This week we turn our attention to one of the most important films of this century and the rich chronicle of humour that is Tommy Wiseau's The Room. We sing to each other to rate the film, Rob shares his thoughts on the different types of bad films, and we pay tribute to one of the true masterpieces of cinema.

In this episode we discuss the most romantic film of all time, The Notebook! We also have a conspiracy update on the nonexistent earth's core, come up with some ideas for new Saturday Night TV shows, and talk everyone's (least) favourite cartoon posh Tory, Jacob Rees-Mogg.

In this week's episode we discuss the film that inspired the creation of the controversial term 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl,' Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown. Can Rob put aside his nostalgia for the first time he saw it? Can Paddy get past his dislike of Orlando Bloom's wooden and insincere face? Is the whole film just a ruse to fulfil Crowe's desire for a scene in which a band plays Freebird while a ca...

In this episode we discuss the 2011 independent film Cloudburst, our first discussion of an LGBT film. Paddy is welcomed back from his honeymoon, and he's back to save Britain from ruin.

On this episode, as Paddy's getting married, we discuss The Wedding Singer! Turns out Adam Sandler is Paddy's guilty pleasure.

Paddy is away this week, so in lieu of a proper episode we've cut together the first ten episodes' worth of chat about Sensations, our forthcoming film. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bigboyspodcast . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We go back to the eighties again this week with a discussion of the Eddie Murphy romantic comedy Coming to America.

It's our first Royal episode, and boy is it a treat! We watched the 2011 made for TV movie, William and Kate: The Movie, based on our very own, possibly reptilian, royal family. There's also a Flat Earth update (#globexit), talk of Shia Labeouf, and a fun discussion of the terribleness of the British tabloid press.

In this episode we took our podcast back to the sixties and watched the classic film Barefoot in the Park, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. It was recorded in the middle of the recent UK heatwave, so we somewhat deliriously ended up talking a lot about Star Wars and Daniel Day-Lewis.

In our ninth episode we discuss the 1989 classic romantic comedy Say Anything, which neither of us had seen before. Did we weep when John Cusack held the boom box up? We also discuss hot dog vaping, and get serious about our plan to turn The Godfather into a musical. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bigboyspodcast . Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we discuss the teen comedy Easy A, continuing the Emma Stone theme. It's familiar to Rob but new to Paddy, and it's all about reputations. How can we get ourselves a bit more notoriety? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bigboyspodcast . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we dive deep into Paddy's problematic fave, La La Land. Rob has issues, Paddy has dreams. Can we reconcile over a doughnut burger? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bigboyspodcast . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In our fifth episode, we discuss the 2009 quirky comedy (500) Days of Summer, starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and we expand on Terry Crews' role in the Sensations universe.

In our fourth episode we discuss the classic 1998 film You've Got Mail. Despite it being a little dated, for obvious reasons, it holds up well and has some killer lines, and is a prime example of the genius of Nora Ephron. Our film, Sensations, becomes a cinematic universe. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bigboyspodcast . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
