Fred Asquith On Film

This week on FoF we’re revelling in the return of Daniel Day-Lewis, including a There Will Be Blood moment in the Anemone trailer, and discuss whether True Detective Season 1 has aged well. Then I dive into two new releases which I double-billed (for better or worse); Eddington and The Life of Chuck. All this and more! Check the timestamps below… And explore the FoF socials/yt via my creepy websit...

This week on FoF we’re ranking cinema memberships and cinemas and literal seats within those cinemas (yes, I have a spreadsheet), pitching a better idea for the Weapons prequel (or in my case, sequel), and gently offering one criticism of late-career Spielberg. But not before I relive my Gala Premiere chaos and reveal my secret favourite screen in London. All this and more! Check the timestamps be...

This week on FoF we review "The Materialists", discussing if the intriguing thematic premise undermines itself and turns into a nothing burger. But not before we discuss my recent re-watches of the Craig Bond era, get hyped about "Alien: Earth" and rant about the state of Cinema Etiquette in 2025. All this and more! Check the timestamps below... And explore the FoF socials/yt v...

This week on FoF we review certainly my favourite film we've ever discussed on the pod so far in "Weapons", including why I think it's a modern horror classic with a full tapestry of horror treats. We also discuss the abomination that is "Happy Gilmore 2" in a fast-track rant, as well as tip my cap to the success of "The Naked Gun". Oh, and I also read throu...

After last week's mental breakdown we are back with more positive vibes with the new comedy "Friendship". However, as per tradition, we also touch on some ranty vibes with my thoughts on Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" IMAX ticket touting and "Stranger Things S5". Plus some emotional vibes as I talk about my love for Luca Guadagnino. Check the timestamps b...

DISCLAIMERS: 1. I have no idea what I'm talking about to a large degree. 2. If you love this movie and/or the comic books I'm delighted for you, save yourself and absolutely do not listen to this. 3. I'm simply an ignorant superhero-movie-goer trying to make sense of why everyone is loving Superman. PLUS, I rewatched Jaws, Avengers Doomsday on-set gossip, and wonder WHO could play I...

This week we rant. Who are our victims? Aaron Sorkin with his proposed "The Social Network Part 2", Prime's streaming platform and their mad growth strategy, WHY "Jurassic Rebirth" and "F1" aren't good enough and WHY we should expect more from dumb movies, plus an overview of my thoughts on the New York Times Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century. All this and...

This week we wade into uncharted tropical waters only to have our joy gobbled up by a pack of Mesosauruses in "Jurassic World Rehash"-sorry-"Regrets"-sorry-"Rebirth". I stomp through all facets of this - hopefully final - Jurassic effort in a VERY spoilery review (you have been warned). We also react to the trailer for the new Chris Nolan movie "The Odyssey"...
