101 Films You Should Have Seen... Probably

After three Lewis recommendations Ian gets his turn. What does he recommend? Um, Crank. Yes this week the boys finally have an excuse to talk about one of the great actors of 21st Century cinema. Jason Statham. Oh my God… Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Lewis and Ian discuss the iconic Easy Rider, an almost plotless film about a long, meandering,  ramshackle journey taken by two scruffy men. Sounds very familiar for some reason… Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Life is a Cabaret old chum, and so, in its way, is the podcast game. Lewis and Ian rein themselves in and manage to only break into song once or twice while discussing 1972’s Cabaret. Pretty impressive when you consider how catchy those songs are. Topics include how great Liza Minnelli is, the quintessential English man that is Michael York and how creepy the song Tomorrow Belongs To Me is. Plus, a new jingle!

This week we discuss Leon, the slightly creepy tale of a hitman and his 12-year-old ward, with added Gary Oldman action. Good old Gary Oldman. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

The Jazz Singer, the first Hollywood talkie. Le Voyage dans la Lune, the first science fiction film. Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze, the first copyrighted film. Psycho, the first film to show a flushing toilet. All important landmarks in film history. Lewis and Ian discuss none of these in this, the latest 101 Films special. Instead the 101 Film boys chat about their own film firsts, which variously involve queuing in the rain to see disappointing cartoons and trying to convince weary ushers that you’re 3 years older than you actually are.
