Boy Party

We're Girl Crazy this month, as we discuss 2015's San Francisco-set coming-of-age drama Diary of a Teenage Girl starring Bel Powley and Alexanderd Skarsgard, and 1964's Dublin-set Edna O'Brien adaptation Girl with Green Eyes starring Rita Tushingham and Peter Finch.

We're kicking off the new year with what is technically our first ever horror movie... it's Robert Zemeckis' 2000 ghost story What Lies Beneath starring Michelle Pfeiffer and - finally being discussed for the first time on the show - Harrison Ford.

Lucien and Shane begin 2026 and conclude our 25 for '25 countdown by awarding the best films and performances of 2000-2025.

As 2025 draws to a close, we're looking back at some of our best moments and best guests of the year in Boy Party. Happy New Year and we'll see you all in 2026!

We've come to the end of Lucien's countdown of the 25 best films of the 21st century so far. Number 1 is The Coen Brothers' 2009 A Serious Man starring Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, Fred Melamed and Aaron Wolff.

It's the Christmas episode! This year we're discussing Richard Curtis's deeply evil 2003 all-star romantic comedy Love Actually, and focusing on the careers of three of its leads: Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson.

Lucien discusses the second greatest film of the 21st century: David Lynch's 2001 surrealist masterpiece Mulholland Dr. starring Naomi Watts and Justin Theroux.

Here, far, wherever you are... it's Boy Party's milestone 100th Episode, recorded live in front of an audience at The Dot Theatre, Dublin on 22nd November. We're discussing the most successful Boy Party movie ever: James Cameron's epic Titanic starring Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

Plus: playing the Letterboxd Top 4 Game and the Box Office Game (All Time Edition) with our studio audience, and we count down our Top 10 Boys and Top 10 Girls from the list of stars we've discussed in our first century of podcasts.

Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss are two of Hollywood's biggest grumps, so imagine the fun when they shared the screen in Frank Oz's 90s psychiatry comedy What About Bob?
