An absolute iconic film with all-time performances from all involved. An instant modern classic in every regard, a downright poetically beautiful piece of cinema that’...

It is a currently commonly held opinion that today’s film may just be Tarantino’s best film, we don’t know if we feel that strongly, but we certainly do believe that it’s yet another masterpiece in the Tarantino cannon. It’s 'Inglorious Basterds' and it’s time to welcome back Becky Muggeridge for discussions of all of Will’s favourite film things: great dialogue, incredible directing and 20th cent...

For our next Tarantino we are joined by two of our favourite repeat guests, Katrina Unitt and Nathan Sloane, to talk all about Tarantino’s balls-to-the-wall southern western ‘Django Unchained’. A film undeniably fun to watch, with a deep darkness under it at all points. A possible underrated peak in Tarantino’s revisionist history series of movies and a film of great worth. Join the boys and their...

We kick of another fortnight and this time we are doing a deep-dive into the wonderful body of work of the incredible writer-director Quentin Tarantino. This episode we’re going to look at his very first film, his directorial debut 'Reservoir Dogs'.

It’s time for another Bond film, this one being Will’s downright favourite, ‘Skyfall’. We discuss Tom’s ever-changing opinion on the film, Will’s devout adoration of it and the general "end of an era" aura the film has about it. The performances are all great, the writing is better than it has any right to be and many believe that it was going for Oscars. The boys discuss whether it actually deser...

It’s time for another top ten film for Tom and what a film to look at our first ever Billy Wilder film, 'The Apartment'. It’s another wonderful Shirley MacLaine and it’s also our first Jack Lemmon film. A wonderful film to break down and a wonderful episode to listen to. Let’s see if Will loves this film as much as Tom has always done, and still does. Do us a favour and like and subscribe, aswell...

This week we rank two more series of Peep Show and see if it has won Tom over yet (spoilers, it really hasn’t). As a matter of fact, the first thing that Tom asks Will, completely un-ironically is whether he actually laughs when he watches the show. But Will loves it and this must be penance for something Tom did in another lifetime.  Do us a favour and like and subscribe, aswell as following...

What a perfect time to talk about the classic British comedy, 'A Fish Called Wanda'. Why is it perfect you may ask? Because there quite simply is never a bad time to talk about this sensational film, from the incredible Python mind of John Cleese, starring another Python star Michael Palin, along with two incredible yanks with Jamie Lee Curtis and an Oscar winning turn from Kevin Kline. There is s...

This week we welcome back our dear friend and return guest Katrina Unitt for something new entirely. It’s Katrina’s favourite film and Will and Tom have had to listen to her talk about it for just about five years now; they chose to finally sit down and watch 'Sliding Doors', starring Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah. So let’s see what the boys think of Katrina’s all-time favourite motion picture.&...

We conclude our first Scorsese grab-bag with the 2010 psychological thriller 'Shutter Island', starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Sir Ben Kingsley, we are joined by our dearest return guest, Becky Muggeridge, to discuss how deeply convoluted the film actually is, ultimately leading to Tom being in the position of defender (a place he didn’t originally thought he’d have to be in). It’s time for a deba...

Our 2000s Scorsese pick: it’s time for him to finally win his Oscar for best picture and best director with 'The Departed', an unlikely divisive movie that some love, some hate, some think is just fine. Tom’s never understood this indifference and thinks the film is just great, even if it’s just to view some of these incredible actors all in the same film. Let’s see what Will thinks in this episod...

Our 70s Scorsese choice: Taxi Driver. The boys discuss one of the most deeply unsettling and disturbing movies of all time, but also one of the best.

We begin our first fortnight celebration of Martin Scorsese with a selection of five films, one per decade, beginning with our 80s Scorsese pick, 'The King of Comedy'.

It’s time for another top Ten choice for Tom and for it we are joined by Nathan Sloane, for a fun filled discussion of the Mike Nichols seminal classic, 'The Graduate'.
