Four-time guest and recent Italian tourist Simon Harvey joins Matt and Tyrie, ready to discuss 1946's Paisan - a feature made out of six 'episodes', each chronicling the liberation of Italy by the allied forces of World War II. Being such an important film which tackles some incredibly bleak subject matter, y...

Hey folks, for the next three episodes we are gonna be running... ehhh CLASSIC Tripod... That's right we're doing old black and white movies can you believe it.

First up is Rome, Open City, a film that not only...

Hey man! Like, welcome back, man. Today Tyrie and Matt are breaking into the grid, with their discussion of Tron: Ares. The boys ponder why Disney keeps going back to this neon world of one's and zero's (especially when none of the three films have ever made the company any actual one's or zero's) as well as the state of Jared Leto's career, and more importantly, the seemingly lost art of blockbus...

Alright people here it is; the episode so special Tyrie forgot to upload it. We're talking about Inland Empire. Considered David Lynch's most impenetrable film, it tells the story of a woman in trouble. At least that's what Lynch says it's about. It's filmed entirely on a small mid range camcorder, so while it doesn't exactly look like a silk purse, it generates some transfixing imagery. Stay tune...
