This week, Ben and Danny (and frequent guest Lee) celebrate their 100th episode by discussing "Send Help." They discuss Sam Raimi, charting his course from scrappy horror beginnings to a semi- reliable blockbuster director. They focus on how his brushes with the Hollywood establishment have had a sporadic impact on his work, forming a thematic foundation that laments humanity's obsession with profit at the expense of decency.

This week, Ben and Danny discuss the Oscar front-runner (especially where the leading actress category is concerned), Hamnet. They also chat about director Chloe Zhao's cinematic stylings and thematic interests, ranging from lives on the fringes to the demystifying of a cultural titan.

This week sees Ben and Danny continue to mop up the last gems of 2025 with Marty Supreme. They discuss how the Safdie brothers' recent split has led to differing styles of filmmaking and how their different approaches to the sports biopic underscore just how special their anxiety-inducing brand of cinema is. They also discuss the allure of the Safdie Brothers' lead character, which prompts broader questions about the allure of morally complex characters.

This week's episode sees Ben and Danny come full circle as they discuss Avatar: Fire and Ash. Alongside reflecting (with a mixture of fondness and dismay) on their maiden episode on Avatar: The Way of Water, they revisit topics of technological innovation, the resulting changes in Hollywood blockbuster narrative and Cameron's steadfast belief in old-school storytelling techniques.

With 2025 in the rear view mirror, Ben and Danny reflect on a year of cinema going. Alongside ranking their five favourites, they discuss how there may be more reason to be hopeful than they first thought.

This week, Ben and Danny discuss The Running Man. They also discuss the career of Edgar Wright, and how his transition from champion of English comedy to American blockbuster fare has yielded mixed results. They also sneak in a mention of Netflix's proposed takeover of Warner Bros.

This week, Ben and Danny discuss Die My Love, Lynne Ramsay's filmography, and cinematic portrayals of mental health struggles. They discuss how Ramsey's subtly fragmented narratives rely on a silence that engulfs the spaces in, around and between her characters.

This week, Ben and Danny discuss Bugonia. It prompts a broader discussion about the 'aliens among us', more specifically, films that explore the human condition from the perspective of an extraterrestrial being. They also talk about Hollywood's penchant for remaking classics of world cinema, and where Lanthimos' foray into the world of conspiracy fits among some of the more effective attempts to retool world cinema for Western audiences.

This week, Ben and Danny deviate from the release schedule for a Halloween Special. They discuss what they tentatively describe as 'lesser known' horror films and make a case for their inclusion in your watch list this Halloween.

This week, Ben, Danny and Lee (in a podcast-record fourth appearance) discuss The Smashing Machine. They then chat about Dwayne Johnson, the parallels between his wrestling and film career, and how his transition from a risk-averse blockbuster star to scrappier fare could indicate a shift to something greater.
