Our banned films Halloween month continues with A Clockwork Orange (1971), a film which neither of us had seen and which neither of us can remember picking. This one is a film student's favourite, and we were both film students, high-scoring ones too, so was it our favourite? No, for we are not sociopaths. Just kidding, kinda. This was a bit of a rough one folks, so if this is your favourite f...

Welcome to our annual Spoopy month! This week, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) kicks off our banned movies month. All of them are scary in their own ways, but one is definitely not like the others. You will see. This is another classic horror film that Sam has not seen, so don't feel ashamed if you haven't seen it. You're still welcome here. Join your voice pals as you run, work, or try to sle...

Titanic (1997) is the last film in our cultural moments month, that has extended into October for reasons that we can't remember. Believe it or not, this is another one that Sam hasn't seen, but she somehow knows how it ends. Weird that. Is this better than the Godfather? You'll have to listen to find out. Join us next week for the beginning of our spoopy banned movies month!

This is probably really embarrassing to admit, but neither of us had watched The Godfather (1972) until right now. Both of us went to University for film and media, and got through four years of that course, and then spent years doing a film podcast - all without seeing this film. Why? Well, we do try to explain in the episode, but yeah, pretty flimsy excuses really. If you're in the same boat...

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) is up next on our fever dream of a podcast. Speaking of which, Calum was very unwell for this episode, but we think it holds up okay. Does Dodgeball hold up okay though? Who knows. Certainly not us. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Join us next week as we watch The Godfather (1972) for the first time.

The Notebook (2004) is finally here! It only took two uploads this time, so it's a good week to be a One us is Board stan. This episode was originally almost two hours, we're not sure how we got so much content from The Notebook, but then again it was cultural moment for a reason. Do you want to hear two unqualified people talk about love? Good news! Neither of us are qualified. Join us ne...

We're back! This month, we're looking at some movies that brought about cultural moments that we somehow missed. The Fault in Our Stars (2014) was huge on tumblr and amongst book fans, and until now, neither of us have watched it. So, did we miss out? Or have now wasted our time by trying to catch up? And will Spotify ever let me upload this episode? Has anyone else noticed the more AI cra...

Tennessee (2008) wraps up our slightly delayed second 'not like other movies' month. We had to change it from quirky month because Calum decided to slot in a film about a cult. It is what it is. To make up for it, we have a half-hour special of the Calum listens to and describes the Fifty Shades series. Hopefully that will carry you through the Summer months, when you won't get to hear...

The Lobster (2015) is up next on our month of quirky films, in celebration of our super quirky Calum. Good news, this one is actually quirky, not just disturbing. It is disturbing, too, though. What is also disturbing is our lack of geographical knowledge. If you want to hear Calum guess the continents, you're in luck. In the comments, let us know what animal you'd like to be turned into i...

Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) is up next, and having now seen it, we apologise that is part of our quirky indie movie month for Calum's birthday. We assure you that we don't think cults are quirky. Pinky swear. However, for those who don't know the offside rule, you do get a terrible explaination. Our country is in the world cup for the first time in a million years, so you're go...

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) is our next totally on-time episode. No technical issues here. The file just decided to be quirky, just like our theme this month. Calum has decided to punish us all by choosing movies that aren't like other movies, but he failed this time because everyone loves that film where the guy finds out he's colourblind and Steve Carrel is depressed. Tag yourself, I&#39...

Ghost World (2001) is the beginning of a new theme! We're doing another "I'm not like other movies" month to celebrate manic-pixie-dream Calum. He is turning old and cynical this month, so he has chosen the perfect film to start us off. If anyone loved this film as teen, are you okay? How are you doing? Please reach out and let us know where you ended up. We're off to see the...

Carry On Camping (1969) wraps up our very short Carry On Month. Don't worry, we will probably have another soon. The main thing is, we are back and we're watching one of the most highest rated Carry On films. Hopefully it lives up to expectations and we won't be labelled as fake Carry On stans for not liking it as much as everyone else. Join us next week as Calum inflicts his quirky no...

Carry On Cleo (1964) is first up in our third Carry On month. We are so very close to rebranding to a Carry On Podcast at this point. Being that this is our third go of these, you'd maybe assume that the quality is going down each time around. You would be wrong, but don't worry we are just as surprised as you are! Who'd have thought that one of the most beloved films in the series is...

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) ends our era of Downton Abbey movies. Who'd have thought we'd all become so invested in the lives of the rich? A bit more happens in this one than in the others, but still, arguably, not a lot in comparison to the series. We do get some very messy choices and a lot of crying and stroking of brick-work so you have that to look forward to! Join us next...

Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) is up next on our Downton Abbey Month, where all the episodes are on time, and nothing bad ever happens. Last week, the King came for a spot of lunch, and nothing bad happened. This week, we're all off to either holiday in France or watch a film being made, and something bad yet unsurprising happens. The stakes have never been more middling or more posh. Join us...

Downton Abbey (2019), the first movie, kicks off our Downton Abbey month that Calum has somehow made happen. The King and Queen are coming for tea, and this causes many shenanigans. Will the staff get to give the King dinner? Will the rich people stay rich? You'll have to listen to find out, or watch the movie. Maggie Smith alone makes it worth it, so why not? Good news, you also get a Fifty S...

The Condemned (2007) wraps up Sam's reality-TV birthday month, and not one trashy TV episode was discussed. Which is funny, because all the TV we watched in Portugal was trash reality TV: which, on that note, shoutout to Ridiculousness. So, it's a movie made by WWE starring Stone Cold Steve Austin, preaching about audiences condoning violence. It probably shouldn't be taken seriously,...

We're back! Did you miss us? We missed you as we were tucking into our all-inclusive buffets and drinking cocktails by the pool. Guns Akimbo (2019) helps drag us back to reality. If by reality you mean a stylised, quirky Daniel Radcliffe movie with a nonsensical plot. It's more like a brain vacation, rather than the super good one we were just on. Did I mention we went on vacation? Well, w...

The Truman Show (1998) is up next on our reality TV month! Will it be better than EDTV? Yeah. Probably. Many people have analysed this better than we ever could, but that's fine; they don't have our dazzling personalities. Join us next week as we watch Guns Akimbo (2019)

EDtv (1999) is the first film of Sam's birthday month! We are doing some reality tv movies, mostly because Sam's dad wanted us to watch EDtv for the podcast, and Sam didn't have any better ideas. So, EDtv, a film neither of us has heard of, and a film largely overshadowed by The Truman Show, is it any good? Yes. There, now you don't have to listen if you don't wanna. We would l...

Welcome to our 200th episode! At least, we hope it is. We're not known for being great at maths. To celebrate, we decided to do something a little different this week and watch the two brand new episodes of the new season of Scrubs. Sam loved Scrubs, Calum was a casual viewer, so does this revival hold up? It'll be a very sad 200th episode if it doesn't. Join us next week as we watch E...

The Host (2013) is the divergent of our divergence month, because they ended at three instead of the four they were meant to have. It's a YA that came out in a similar era so we figured we'd be okay. How wrong we were. Having now watched it, we don't know if we would count it in that cycle. It's not a social allegory for anything that makes sense, which is an amazing feat for a bod...

The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016) is the last film in the Divergent Series, to the surprise of everyone involved, because it shouldn't be. For the first time since we started this podcast, we've watched an incomplete series. Oh well. Does the story end at a good point? Well, arguably, the second film ended at an okay point. Get hyped to learn about who David is. Surely Tris won't...

The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) is up next in our little Divergent series, and man, does the title make me sad. If the title written is more than one word long, dear listener, please know I've lost the internal battle to just call it Insurgent. What wonders are in store this time? Will we get ziplines? Perhaps some Ellie Goulding? We also take a quick look at Send Help (2026) and Twinle...
