This week we tuck into a soup of social realism with a discussion surrounding Ken Loach and his new (and possibly last?) film 'The Old Oak'.

On this fine podcast based week, Danny & Ben meander on a river of doomed romance, on a raft made of celluloid - the journey culminates with a searing discussion on the recent romantic drama 'Past Lives'.

This week Danny & Ben are joined by Giordana Russo to discuss Anime and the influence of Anime; how it has flourished amongst western audiences in recent years and how it's mainstream popularity is marred by misconception.

This week the mythic, muscular and all round lovely man Lee Markham (aka the Leequalizer) joins Danny & Ben to discuss Denzel Washington, Vigilantism in cinema and the latest Equalizer film.

This week Danny & Ben revisit the gems of The Coen Brothers, and discuss their unique take on character, violence & humour.

This week Ben & Danny discuss the Mission Impossible franchise and review the latest entry - seeking to ascertain the invulnerability and popularity of it's enigmatic leading man, one Thomas Cruise.

This week, as a result of the passing of revered American filmmaker William Friedkin, Ben & Danny kickstart a director deep dive series of recordings by delving into Friedkin's filmography - namely The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorcerer, To Live & Die in LA, Bug & Killer Joe.

The cinematic tarmac still hot from the screeching wheels of an Oppenheimer discussion, Danny & Ben discuss Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie', some other cinematic efforts centered around toys, and the problematic notion of selling 'subversive-ness' to the masses.

A hefty one this week as Ben and Danny discuss cinema of the atomic age, and the now iconic cinematic monsters were emblematic of an omnipresent anxiety that Nolan himself channels in his latest epic. We then chat about the man himself; his presence in mainstream cinema, and question how his legacy will be viewed in the years to come. We then deep dive into the thematic weight of the aforementioned epic, analysing it in the context of the atomic anxieties of then and now and discuss how the subject matter vindicates the stylistic choices that make him so critically divisive.

Tuck your buttoned shirt into some pastel chino trousers hitched up to your navel area, stare blankly into the distance and hit play on Danny & Ben discussing the Hollywood anomaly that is Wesley Anderson.
