Cinematic Leap

This week it's back to Spielberg as we leap with Paul Dano to 2022 coming-of-age drama The Fabelmans . We enjoy discussing a film about a young boy obsessed with film making, and how this film relates to aspects of Spielbergs life. We hope you enjoy listening.

This week we leap to 2012 time-travel action film Looper . We arrived here through actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Surely from here we leap to Die Hard with Bruce Willis? But first, what did we think of this time travel classic?

This week we leap from one of Heath Ledger's best roles, to one of his earliest roles, 1999 romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You . What did we think of this one? Is it wrong for grown men whole love action movies to also enjoy the odd romcom? Of course not! Unless it is... listen and find out!

This week we leap with recent Oscar winner Cillian Murphy to Christopher Nolans second (and best?) Batman film The Dark Knight . We discuss the great Heath Ledger and what we thought of this action packed film. We hope you enjoy.

Season 4 is finally here and we start with one of Mike's picks as he leaps with Frequency editor David Rosenbloom to Transcendence which the other two of us had never heard of. Is there a reason we haven't heard of it? Or is this an undiscovered gem? We discuss this and more in our first episode of season 4!

This week we are joined by another special guest - Steph from Psychocinematic who had to leap from The Guilty with Jake Gyllenhaal who was chosen by our last guest Kevin from K J and A Podcast. Steph chose to take us to 2014 crime thriller Nightcrawler.

For our third guest episode we are joined by Kevin from K J and A Podcast to discuss 2021 crime thriller The Guilty after leaping from the last guest podcast with director Antoine Fuqua. An interesting movie, and a fun chat. We hope you enjoy.

3 Seasons done! This special bonus episode we discuss our highlights of season 3, what we would change, what we enjoyed, and celebrate how far we've come. We're not slowing down anytime soon though. Season 4 will be following shortly after a couple more bonus special guest episodes. We hope you enjoy this wrap up of or third (and possibly best yet!) season.

This week we leap 23 years back in time with Michael Cera to this 2000 crime-drama-mystery film  Frequency . The final film of season 3!

This week we leap with the excellent Margo Robbie to a more recent film – 2023’s adventure-comedy-fantasy-toy movie  Barbie . Will three middle-aged guys enjoy this film, or are we not the target audience? Who knows? 

This week we leap to something a bit lighter, with sound person James Mather to 2013 time travel rom-com About Time . A first watch for the two of us that aren't rom-com fans... so what did we think...?

This week we leap with foley artist John Roesch to 2022 action drama Top Gun: Maverick . Can old man Cruise still play a convincing action role? Join us as we discuss this and more!

This week we leap with composer Mark Mothersbaugh to one of his many great films to revisit classic Adam Sandler comedy  Happy Gilmore . Is it as funny as it was when it came out in 1996? We find out!

This week Scott surprises everyone by leaping to 2023 classic Cocaine Bear . We again leap with a casting person, this time Debra Zane.

For Mike’s third leap we leap with composer David Newman to Tim Allen sci-fi comedy  Galaxy Quest . Another week of watching spaceships flying around. We discuss this, how great Alan Rickman is, and some other things before Scott chooses next weeks film!

This week we leap with Morena Baccarin to Joss Whedon’s 2005  Firefly  follow up  Serenity . Obviously one of Mike’s favourite films, but will it score highly once we all rate it?

This week it's back to one of Ryan Reynolds with one of his most popular roles - Deadpool . The first of Mike's three leaps takes us to this 2016 action/comedy. Join us as we discuss if it is actually any good. Obviously Mike thinks so...

After an unbearable wait, this week we leap (finally!) with Nicolas Cage to recent 2022 action comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent . We discuss our love of Nic Cage (again), cageisms, and what we thought of this film. (Spoiler: actually quite bearable).

This week we leap with the great James Gandolfini, to a very different role. From playing a wild thing, to a different kind of wild, in the 1999 crime thriller 8mm. Back again to a Nicolas Cage film, and a quite dark one... what fun... where will we leap from here? Can we ignore Nic? Surely not?

Let the wild rumpus start! We're back to our regular programming with the hugely fun/depressing Spike Jonze 2009 fantasy adventure Where The Wild Things Are ! We leapt here with Aussie actor Angus Sampson though he is barely recognisable in this. Did we love this movie? We certainly enjoyed discussing it, and hope you enjoy listening.

We continue our special guest episodes this week with a friend of the show and huge film fan - Bryan Salvage. Bryan had to chose a Hans Zimmer composed film and struggled with the many great options but decided on 2004 historical adventure King Arthur .  

Join us for our first episode featuring a special guest! Our first guest is long time listener and good mate of the hosts – Wayne Reynolds! As we aren’t leaping from anywhere for this special first episode we started as anyone would expect – with Nicolas Cage – and we discuss 1996 action classic  The Rock . Join us for our take on this film, along with our guest Wayne and relive this classic film.

Time for another horror film - this time leaping with Australian actor Rose Byrne. We discuss 2010's Insidious - our third film in a row made by Australian filmmakers! Will we enjoy this as much as the last two? Join us and find out!

It’s December! And this year we are doing our first Christmas special as we review 1984’s Gremlins ! Join us for this Christmas chat where we discuss this classic, where it fits in our Christmas movie rotation (if at all), and our other favourite Christmas films. It’s a fun episode – happy Christmas!

This week we leap to another Australian classic – one of Heath Ledgers early films – 1999 crime comedy  Two Hands . We leapt here from  The Dish  with aussie actor Tom Long.
