101 Films You Should Have Seen... Probably

We come to the conclusion that The Crying Game is at once charming and awkward, and even slightly irritating in places. A bit like our podcasts. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

After being put through the emotional wringer of Downfall in the last podcast, Lewis and Ian wanted to watch a more light hearted film this week. So they went with Eoin Boyle’s recommendation Last Night – a 1998 film about disaffected twenty-somethings facing the end of the world. Yay!

Lewis and Ian try their best to be light-hearted, but respectful, as they look at the intense and gripping Downfall, a film depicting the last days of Hitler in war-torn Berlin. Listen to find out if they succeed! (Spoiler – they end up respectful, but not light-hearted). Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Much like a studio which has lost all faith in its mediocre ‘blockbuster’, 101 Films has waited right to the end of the summer to release its latest special: How To Make A Summer Blockbuster. Enjoy! Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat. That, Listeners, is the machine gun speed of the dialogue in this week’s film, His Girl Friday. Can Lewis and Ian match the fast, witty, flirty dialogue of the film in their discussion of it? Listen and find out! (They don’t). Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Lewis and Ian are back! This week they have donned their moptop wigs, put on their dark suits and shirts with round collars and have taken to doing terrible scouse accents. Yep, this week 101 Films get into Beatlemania 50 years late and discuss A Hard Day’s Night. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

This week we discuss demon sausage beasts, the short-lived Aquaman film and cross-gender animals as we look at the Studio Ghibli classic Princess Mononoke. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
