Rage Whale

Our regular catch up with each other and provide you an update on what we've watched, what we recommend and whats coming out soon.

Brittany got in contact with us recently asking to be on the show as she was a fan. This blew our tiny minds! She is talking to us today from South Carolina and we loved this conversation with an experienced actor who has worked with great actors on interesting projects over a varied career. We also talk about her time visiting the new Superman set, auditions experiences and her new movies that ar...

New Orleans Native and cat enthusiast is our special guest from the furthest location to us so far. It's great to hear different voices and perspectives on our show. We talk about New Orleans as Kevs trip visiting (sort of) close by and we give a 'Shout Out' to 'Defend New Orleans'. We talk about Courtneys favourite films of the year, the frustration with movie trailers and discuss the Alien Franc...

A new short episode which just has some updates on recent releases and recommendation in the cinema, on TV and Streaming. Also an update on what's coming out soon, new trailers and Movie News. This time its just Kev but the whole gang should appear in the future bonus episodes.

We love chatting to this charismatic cinephile. We discuss many things in this episode from Eddington, Nolans new trailer, Pedro Pascal, Jurassic Park, F1 and Superman. But we start discussing the loss of Ozzy Osbourne that happened 10 mins before record (we record a month in advance sometimes). We then discuss Peters recent adventure backpacking in the California mountains and visiting little cin...

A hilarious conversation as you might expect but also insightful as we discuss how Kayleigh went from wanting to be an actor to venturing into the Stand Up Comedy scene and actually winning competitions where she has now ended up performing in her very first Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her new show. We talk through aspects of her comedy show, how she got started and the strange places she has p...

Kevs cousin Jude is a very talented man. At just 17 he has been acting for over a decade, appearing is short films, main features, music videos and many live productions. Now he has also turned his attention to music, being the frontman of an Indie band from Scotland called The Claes who are making waves in the industry. We talk about his music and songwriting process as well as his inspiration wh...

Gareth joins us again as he feels our previous quiz attempts have been disastrous. Entertaining but frustrating. Will he do a better job hosting it? He has just come back from Download Festival a couple of days ago and tell us a little about that before we start. The quiz has a few different rounds and themes to keep everyone engaged. Please play along at home and see if you can answer before us.

We have a fun chat hearing about the joy and the horror stories of working in the TV and film industry. Tash has a career on the production side with organisation and logistics which can be exciting but also incredibly intense and a thankless task that takes up all your spare time. This can eventually affect your health and wellbeing so the main take away message is to take care of yourselves. Ple...

Gary Oldman is one of the undisputed greatest living actors of all time. He is well known for being able to embody any role and unique voice that when he fully commits, he disappears into the role where sometimes as the audience you don' t recognise him at all. We talk through his personal life with the struggles he has endured as well as his victories. We take a whistle stop tour of his greatest...

This is a fun conversation on behind the scenes of the writing and creative process. We discuss working on The Apprentice for the last few years as well as other Reality TV programmes like Geordie Shore. The amount of work and juxtaposition between the creative control of them both. We start on how Jonny and Kev met working on his short film 'Ethel' starring Miriam Margolyes, Professor Green and p...

Be Warned: This is a spoiler review. James is excited to talk about 28 Years Later but we try to discuss the first 2 films from 2002 and 2007 to put the new movie into context. This new movie has really divided opinions including the 3 of us. We enjoyed the experience, but question many of the choices on plot and cinematography.

Kirstie runs an Instagram page called 'Kirstie's Weekly Revue' which has insightful and funny reviews of new movies. She with Kev and Rage Whale take part in a friendly online community of movie reviewers who talk and share thoughts in respectful ways. We discuss her thoughts on recent releases of 2025 and then about her job as a Radio DJ for Radio Warrington especially with Eurovision 2025 curren...

Drews friend from their younger years working as an Usher at Theatres in London who went on to work with esteemed Theatre Directors tells us many interesting stories about that world as well as working with a huge number of high calibre actors in the movie industry.

Paul Bullion, star of the final Mission Impossible movie in the franchise joins us again (appeared first Episode 92). Now it has been out in the cinema for a few weeks he is able to talk freely about his role, what happened on set, what he learned and the experience of working with the greatest movie star alive. We enjoy listening to his many stories and also discuss the older films of Tom Cruise...

Emma, our personal Therapist and Kate, our regular guest, both of which are part of the Rage Whale family (and in some of our more listened to episodes) join us to celebrate our 100th episode and the end of Season 1. Emma provides us with a Friendship Quiz which is lots of fun and gives us plenty to discuss. Kev also has a Quiz on the stats and figures from the podcast itself, followed by a movie...

We talk through our photoshoot day. The first time we've seen each other in person for many years. We have incredible photographer and previous guest (Ep 91) Daniel Pitts meet us in Waterloo to start our day taking group photos throughout London. Kev surprises the gang with Merch, our logo on some t-shirts and hoodies which we end up modelling. Our first guest and biggest fan Gareth joins us to he...

Today we discuss the new trailers we have seen recently such as Predator: Badlands, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Weapons, Now You See Me: Now You Don' t and The new A24 movie starring The Rock called The Smashing Machine which looks like his first serious role that could be award worthy. We also discuss movies and series from our childhood we would love to see rebooted with the same cast which...

Kev and Drew interview Simeon Atkins who is the host of the educational and entertaining podcast 'The Meaning of Men'. The intro explains the thought process about what the podcast is about then we discuss some of the subjects that has come up during his many guest interviews of experts in different fields all relevant to the subject of men. We found this conversation very engaging and we would ha...

Kev & Drew discuss the hot topic this week with the surprising but well deserved success of the new Marvels movie. This is a change in tone for the studio and we feel this has paid off as we can't stop thinking about it. Marvel should be simple and cinematic with lots of CGI, this feels like an indie film with practical effects and dramatic actors with deep character performances that make you...

Kev & Drew do an old school Pod episode talking about what they have watched recently and recommendations. We discuss the stunt performers finally being appreciated at the Oscars before talking about classic moves we watched recently, Netflix documentaries that show the dark side of humanity and mention a little about Black Mirror Season 7 without spoilers.

Where do we start, which level, reality or dreams? Kev and Drew try to get to grips with the notoriously confusing movie from the master of time, ambiguity and existentialism. This movie from 2010 was marked as one of the first times that Blockbusters stopped placating its audience as Nolan went for the cerebral approach trusting the audience would engage and enjoy the respect he gave us offering...

Kate selected the subject of todays Deep Dive, one if the living greats. A prolific and respected man in the movie industry. We try to delve into his personal life with little information before discussing his influences, style and impressive back catalogue. We also discuss his next exciting project.

T2 is back in the cinema which prompts this discussion as it is a classic 90s action movie and the quintessential Schwarzenegger performance. We have all seen it so many times but we were too young to see in the cinema first time round. Kev managed to catch it recently on the big screen which reignites all the 90s childhood memories of watching this when we were too young. We feel this is even bet...

Today's Bonus episode is a Spoiler Special discussing the new Jack Quaid, Amber Midthunder & Ray Nicholson action packed, gory comedy. Kevin invites regular guest Gareth to join to discuss in detail. We both had a better time with the movie than expected. We also discuss Gareths upcoming Download Festival trip and our Rage Whale photoshoot day in London on April 25th.
