  • #12 - 2024: The Year of the Animaissance?

    In this episode, Tom looks ahead to Migration's UK release and ponders the struggles of original animations in the post-pandemic era. He then takes a look at 2024's upcoming animated films and wonders whether it could be the first time since 2019 that animation as a genre makes a real dent in the global box office.

    Happy New Year! It's a new year, but it's the same old waffle... or is it?!

  • #9 - November: DirectHer's Cut

    In this episode, Tom and Lora (yes, again!) talk through the many films releasing in November that are directed by women, which morphs into a wider discussion about the journey of female directors in the film industry as a whole.

  • #8 - London Film Festival 2023

    This episode is entirely dedicated to looking back at this year's London Film Festival - or, as people in the biz call it, LFF. Tom is joined by Gower Street colleague and Box Office & Beyond royalty Lora Bogdanova to discuss the films they digested at this year's festival.


    Warning: There are some opinions expressed in this podcast that you may disagree with, but don't worry, none of it matters in the grand scheme of things xoxo

  • #7 - What's that coming over the hill, is it October? Is it October?

    In this episode - thankfully a shorter one - Tom has a peek at October, the spookiest of all the months. Yet on his voyage of discovery he finds that, in the gamut of upcoming October films, there is something for everyone, not just horror fans! Buckle up, folks, you're in for a wild ride.


    And yes, he talks about Taylor Swift.

  • #6 - The Horrornaissance with Anna Bogutskaya

    In this episode, Tom is joined by the absolute legend that is Anna Bogutskaya to discuss a phenomenon he (and definitely no one else) has called 'The Horrornaissance'. Why are more people watching Horror films? When did The Horrornaissance really begin? Why do people enjoy screaming in a dark room full of strangers? Anna has forgotten more about Horror films than most people will ever know, so she's the perfect person to help answer all these questions - and more.


    You can find Anna on Twitter (YES, TWITTER) and Instagram at @annabdemented where there are links to all of her work, and her wonderful book 'Unlikeable Female Characters' is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unlikeable-Female-Characters-Women-Culture/dp/1728274745

  • #5 - Indie films with Delphine Lievens
    Something a little different for episode five - Tom sits down with self-proclaimed 'box office fiend' Delphine Lievens to talk about some of the lesser-known films rumbling around the ether. Strap yourselves in for plenty of recommendations that will stop you sitting down to watch Barbenheimer for the seventeenth time. You can find Delphine on the website formerly known as Twitter at @DelphiLievens for even more indie film knowledge bombs.
