Wade and Dave VS The Movies

What happened at the Oscars? Dave covers some talking points at the 2025 Academy Awards

The Best movies Dave watched in the year of our Lord 2024. Also some more Oscar chat.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences award golden statue men to some of the best, and not best, movies of the previous year. In this episode Dave picks his favourites from the Academy's nominees. He also rants about a glaring omission.

Dave's Top 5 movies released in his home country in 2024

The podcast continues?

Na na na na na na na na na na Batman Special. In this episode Dave talks about the Dark Knight Detective, the Caped Crusader, Gotham's Guardian. Covering everything from Batfilms, Batmen, Batmobiles, all the biggies.

I've seen this before. Are all movie remakes bad? Do they have to be better than the original? Probably not but lets be real, they generally are worse... Except for these, and a couple of others.

Dave returns to make the most of Wade's podcast break to cover a topic that, lets face it, probably wouldn't get its own episode for a long time. But Dave, being a fan of film, was keen to do so... He's only gone and done it. Documentaries.

Part one of hopefully two. Musicals, those song and dance ragtime numbers. Films with tunes worth listening to. In this episode, due to some global geographical situations, Dave is solo ranking his Top 5 Musicals. Will this be the best episode ever? Or will Dave suffer from the lack of co-host. Listen and find out.

Best Original Song. What are the best songs written for a movie? Well it's time for Wade and Dave to answer that question, because a podcast about top five movies need a detour. It was meant to be a short episode but sometimes when two mates meet up for a chat... the tangent skis come out. Absolute Bangers.

Movie scores, the soundtrack to the characters on screen lives. Orchestral symphonies, sweeping scores, iconic themes. That's right its time to take the Williams with the Zimmer and rank them in a list of favourites. Listen to the episode and then have a list to the Spofity playlists for this episode...Wade:Dave:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Xoml7IHAkJYsaDeXhkBKh?si=66339ca7c1cf4fe1 After...

"War is hell." -William Tecumseh Sherman. You know what else is hell? Listening to Wade justify his 5th pick. Good grief that boy needs to sort it out. It ain't happening, son. Nevertheless, Dave puts in a strong performance with his picks, good ol' reliable Dave. He's some boy that one. He has a variety of movies that actually engage, entertain and challenge the viewer. It's another classic episo...

"Fortune and glory kid." The spirit of adventure is alive in this episode of Wade and Dave Rank the Movies. Somehow Wade and Dave have picked some similar movies making for an exciting conversation. I say exciting, but once again Wade is very tired and weak. So Dave carries the episode with some insightful facts and wonderful stories. Wade eats his dinner. Don't worry it's a short episode but a go...

Oscar Bait, the top 5. Wade and Dave go through the Academy Awards Best Picture Winners and choose 5 of the best (Best Picture Winners). Surprisingly a lot of facts and figures thrown out in this (are we finally doing some research?) and of course some not very good host banter (it is an awards tradition). Tune in for a long one (another awards show tradition) and get ready for some of the best (B...

Can bad be good? Maybe this is Wade's life motto. Who knows? Well Wade knows. In this thrilling episode Wade and Dave Rank their top 5 movies that are so bad they're good. Expect good times, bad acting and ugly CGI.

What are the best movie sequels? Welp Wade and Dave are back to answer the big movie questions? In an incredible return to form the two hosts rattle through some classic follow ups. What part Deux will make their lists? How disapproving will Dave be of Wade's list? Classic bant will ensue. Will this season be better than the last? Or will the old formula of Top 5s run out of steam? Find out in Wad...

What is satire?

Wade's Favourite movie, here's his episode description... As Maximus Decimus Meridius once declared, “What we do in life echoes in eternity.” Join us as we revisit the grandeur, betrayal, and heroism that define the journey of Maximus from loyal general to revered gladiator. In this episode, we’ll dissect the characters, unravel the plot twists, and immerse ourselves in the breathtaking spectacle...

This movie has a bucket load of history attached to it. For nearly 50 years it has been in the cinematic zeitgeist. It birthed a giant of the industry and, now, another giant of entertainment benefits from it (yes I did just describe Wade and Dave Rank (the) Movies as an entertainment giant, get over it). Wade and Dave get hooked on its story and gush over a classic. Rubber monsters be damned.

The end is in sight but Wade decided to pick the longest movie ever! Way to add more work to Dave's plate. There's only one movie he likes more in this world... Wade's 2nd Favourite Movie.

In an amazing call back to a classic episode, Dave sheds light on one of his previous picks. This episode is littered with tiny drops of trivia and overflowing with love and affection. For a movie that makes some WILD choices... it rocks! (Yes Dave also writes the episode descriptions, he does everything but move Wade's vocal cords to make his words sound). I mean what does the title even mean? No...

Will Wade redeem himself this episode? Why does Wade keep picking movies from 1994/5? Does anyone even read the episode descriptions? All these questions and more are covered in this episode.

The countdown continues... Dave romances lyrical about his fourth favourite movie, and Wade actually likes it too. A call back to the classic Crime Movies episode, this pick would have topped both host's list, it is that good. So buckle up for a podcast that is 100% pure adrenaline. Point Break

I don't think Wade knows what favourite means.

Well here we are, back again with Wade and Dave. Here (hear?) Dave forces Wade to watch a movie he has never seen before, something from a past he didn't know existed. What will Wade think of a movie make before he was born? How sexist were old movies? And what is up with people's accents? Take a trip, a journey if you will, with Dave as he guides you and his co-host down through his 5th favourite...
