Cinematic Leap

This episode we leap with the great Allison Janney to 2023 science fiction action film The Creator . No surprise that Mike would chose a sci fi... but this film sparked some interesting and passionate responses...

This week we leap to our FOURTH Margot Robbie film in a row! - 2017 (2018 in Australia) biographical sports film I, Tonya . We discuss this crazy story and interesting film and more. We hope you enjoy.

After viewing two amazing performances from Margot Robbie she is finally chosen as our leaper this week and we leap to 2020 superhero film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Scott generally avoids superhero movies, will he enjoy this one? Did any of us? Listen to find out! We hope you enjoy.

This episode we leap with Brad Pitt (for our third Brad film in a row) to 2022 epic historical black comedy drama film Babylon. Yet another super-long movie - which we are getting over a little, but will time fly by when watching this one? Another fun discussion which we hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with director Quentin Tarantino to his (very long) latest film, 2019 comedy/western Once Upon A TIme In... Hollywood. We hope you enjoy this episode more than Mike enjoyed this film...

This Christmas we take a break from our chain of leaps to discuss 2015 comedy drama The Night Before . We hope you enjoy this special Christmas episode and enjoy the rest of 2024!

For this episode we leap with cinematographer Robert Richardson to Quentin Tarantino's 2009 WW2 film Inglourious Basterds. Mike generally doesn't like Tarantino but has taken us here, so it should be an interesting discussion.

This episode we have a change of pace as we leap with Sam Neill to 1998 western/family film The Horse Whisperer . This is a fun episode with some... passionate responses! We hope you enjoy!

This episode we leap with James Earl Jones to one of the top submarine spy thrillers - 1990's The Hunt For Red October . A lot of people seem to like this movie, but did we? Listen to find out!

This week we leap with the legendary Carrie Fisher to her biggest and best role in the film that started it all - Star Wars! What can be said about this film that hasn't been said before? Nothing. And who cares what we have to say about it? Nobody. Did that stop us doing an episode on this film anyway? Not at all.

For our first episode of season 5 we start back in the 80s with classic musical comedy from 1980  The Blues Brothers . We leapt here from  Three Amigos  with costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis.

Join us for a quick chat about what we thought of our most recent season, what we would change or re-rate, and our highlights and lowlights of the season.

For our 2024 Halloween special this year we take a look at 2016 zombie horror Train to Busan . We hope you enjoy.

For our last leap of the season Scott leaps with casting person Jackie Burch to absolute classic 1986 film Three Amigos starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase. Is this as funny as we all remember, almost 40 years later. We find out and discuss. We hope you enjoy!

Finally! We did it. After 106 episodes Scott has finally been able to leap to a film he’s been wanting to discuss here since day one. This week we leap with Bruce Willis to 1998 Chirstmas classic  Die Hard . Are the rest of us into it as much as Scott? Listen and find out. We hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with Owen Wilson to classic 1998 sci-fi/action disaster film Armageddon . Scott brings us here with the first of his three leaps. Does this film hold up? We discover this and more and hope you enjoy this episode.

Something a bit lighter this week as we leap to 2011 romantic comedy  Midnight In Paris  for the last of Glenn’s three films. A favourtie of Glenn’s, but unseen my Scott and Mike… what will they think? We leapt here with cinematographer Darius Khondji.

This week we leap to 2002 David Fincher thriller  Panic Room . This film stars Jodie Foster, a young Kristen Stewart, and the always great Forest Whittaker. This is Glenn’s second leap of his three and hopefully gets things back on track with a director and genre we all like… don’t we?

This week we stay in 2005, with another superhero film – this time superhero comedy  Sky High . Glenn leapt here with stunt person Heidi Moneymaker. 

Mike’s third and final leap for the season is with Peter Stormare to 2005 superhero horror film  Constantine . We have journeyed all the way from 2006 back to 2005 with Mike’s three films this time and what a ride it’s been! While it may only feel like one year of cinema, we really journeyed from 480 BC, to early 1800s, to contemporary LA. Where will Glenn take us next?

This week we leap to Mike's second film choice of his three with Lena Headey to another historical film - but this time with fantasy and magic added - 2005 fantasy adventure The Brothers Grimm . This film also stars Matt Damon and Heath Ledger so opens up many interesting possibilities for Mike's final leap of the season!

This week for our 100th episode Michael takes us to a favourite film of his - 2006 action/adventure 300 . We leapt here with composer Tyler Bates.

This week we leap with Kevin Bacon to the 2010 superhero comedy/action film Super ! An interesting film with some mixed responses from us...

This week we take a giant leap to the classic Ron Howard historical space drama from 1995 Apollo 13 . We leapt here with cinematographer Dean Cundey. We hope you enjoy our review!

This week Scott shocks us all by picking average 2006 Christmas romance film The Holiday when leaping with Kate Winslet. We discuss this film and more and hope you enjoy.
