Boy Party

A spoonful of podcast makes the medicine go down! With Joker Month behind us, we're talking about a different breed of messers... (still) living legends Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in 1964's classic Disney musical Mary Poppins! We talk about the incredible Sherman Brothers songs, David Tomlinson's legendary performance as Mr. Banks, the issues with two Poppins adjacent films - Saving Mr. Banks and Mary Poppins Returns - and how Andrews and Van Dyke have never quite recaptured the magic of their best 1960s movie musicals.

The world is a stage, as Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga star in the sequel to 2019's Oscar-winning Twisted interpretation of the Joker character, from director Todd Phillips.

As we eagerly await Joker: Folie À Deux to wrap up Joker Month, it's time for another off-topic AFTERPARTY episode! This week, Shane and Lucien host a special draft of every living Oscar winner for Best Actor based on Star Power. Who are the heavyweights, and who should just retire? From Leonardo DiCaprio and Denzel Washington to recent winners Brendan Fraser and Cillian Murphy, it's a tense match to see who can pick the best team. Head over to our Instagram to vote for the best team.

continuing #JokerMonth, we’re discussing one of the worst major films of the century, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and an in-depth chat on its stars Will Smith, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie.

Our Joker Month continues in the lead-up to the release of Joker: Folie A Deux. This week, we're discussing Christopher Nolan's 2008 classic The Dark Knight, where Christian Bale's Batman faces off against Heath Ledger's Joker, with Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent caught in the middle.

We kick off Boy Party's JOKER MONTH with Tim Burton's classic 1989 Batman, starring Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton. Is Nicholson the best Joker ever? Did Michael Keaton win the Best Actor Oscar in people's hearts? And has Bruce Wayne ever had less screentime in a Batman movie than he does in this?

Joker Month continues for the next 3 episodes

17 Sept - The Dark Knight

24 Sept - Suicide Squad

1 Oct - Joker: Folie à Deux

This week, Shane and Lucien are celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic films of all time, it's Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction! We discuss the movie's four main stars - John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman - including what this project meant for their careers, and where they're at now in terms of star power. Is this movie as good as normies say? Is Travolta a good actor? And would Bruce Willis have killed as live-action Homer Simpson?

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck go on a Roman Holiday, and Katie joins us to discuss this classic William Wyler romance, its iconic pair of stars, the blacklisted of the Oscar winning screenwriting, and whether the city of Rome is “underwhelming”

Are we all Lost Stars, trying to light up the dark? Shane and Lucien discuss as Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley make music together in John Carney's Begin Again, with a cast that also includes Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Hailee Steinfeld, Catherine Keener and James Corden.

It's another n-n-new release, and unfortunately this one's a streaming movie, as Doug Liman reunites Matt Damon and Casey Affleck for heist caper The Instigators. We discuss this pretty-good movie that nobody seems to be watching, Matt and Casey's respective careers as leading men, and its amazing ensemble cast of Michael Stuhlbarg, Hong Chau, Alfred Molina, Ron Perlman, Paul Walter Hauser and more.
