Callum & David Make It Better

For this week's Patreon requested podcast Callum and David were asked to look at classic early noughties Hong Kong action flick Infernal Affairs, and decided to weigh it up against its more famous Oscar winning remake, Martin Scorsese's The Departed as the boys explore the age old question of whether adaptation can ever improve on origin.

In the 2nd part of their Patreon requested Dark Comedy double bill, Callum and David look at Katie Holmes’s little known 2014 quirky Indie ‘Miss Meadows’.

Callum and David return to the brilliantly irriverent 80s dramady for a third time; this time choosing to wax lyrical about the theatrically inspired season 3 episode 'Atomic Shakespeare'.

In this week’s episode of Any Requests, Callum and David go off piste with the 1990 ‘comedy’ Ski Patrol. Expect discussions on the apparent incredible dance ability of a now hugely successful Hollywood director, the shocking insensitivity towards a character clearly suffering with mental health issues and perhaps the worst gaffe in the history of cinema – not to mention a personal skiing anecdote from Callum that ends up being more interesting and humorous than the film itself.

Time for another instalment of the cult 90s British Sci Fi series as requested by one of the podcast’s fabulous Patreon supporters. This time Callum and David look at episodes 5 and 6 where they discuss the repurposing of red telephone boxes as a viable business, why 1930s mobsters are inexplicably committing crimes in 1997 London and the general incompetency of the police force at the centre of the show.

We're back with another Patreon requested podcast, and this time listener and close friend of David and Callum, Tristan, has a lot to answer for by making the boys sit through objectively one of the worst movies ever made. Luckily they don't have to endure terrible 90s costumes, bizarre geo-political subplots and Wesley Snipes's accent alone, as for the first time they are joined by a special guest; award winning writer/performer/comedian Roann McCloskey!

For this Patreon requested episode, long time fan and friend of the show Adam has fortunately requested one of David's favourite shows ever, Quantum Leap.
