Cinematic Leap

This week we leap with composer James Horner to one of Mike's favourite films - 1986 sci-fi Aliens. But what do the rest of us think of it, and do we regard as highly as many seem to?

This week we stay in 1994, leaping with stunt person Jim Dunn to the early Brad Pitt drama Legends of the Fall. We discuss how beautiful Brad Pitt’s hair is, and also talk a little bit about the film. Hope you enjoy.

This episode we leap with Point Break composer Mark Isham to the 1994 action sci-fi JCVD film Timecop. Join us as we discuss this fun but flawed film. We hope you enjoy.

For this episode we go further back in time to 1991 for classic action/surfing/bank robber film Point Break. We leapt here with Tom Sizemore and had a lot of fun revisiting this classic. We hope you enjoy this episode.

This week we leap with Ewan McGregor to 2001 war film Black Hawk Down. Maybe not everyone's go-to film when they think of Ewan McGregor, but we go there anyway. Is Ewan convincing in this kind of role? We discuss this and more. Hope you enjoy.

For some reason we leap back to Michael Bay again - this time to 2005's sci-fi action thriller The Island. Join us as we discuss if this film is worth watching. It does have a great cast, but does that mean it's a great movie? We discuss this and more. Hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with composer James Newton Howard to Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx 2004 action thriller Collateral. Is this film as good as it seems? And how is Jamie Foxx clearly the main character but also supporting actor apparently according to Oscar nominations? We discuss this and more... We hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with Julia Roberts for the first time to 2007 war comedy Charlie Wilson's War. This is also the first time we've had the chance to discuss a Tom Hanks movie. With this cast, and an Aaron Sorkin script, surely we all loved it! Didn't we? Listen to find out...

How could we not leap with Spielberg?! This week we leap again with Steven to one of his many classics - this time to family film Hook starring Robin Williams. We discuss this interesting take on Peter Pan and the great Robin Williams. We hope you enjoy.

This week it's back to Spielberg as we leap with Paul Dano to 2022 coming-of-age drama The Fabelmans. We enjoy discussing a film about a young boy obsessed with film making, and how this film relates to aspects of Spielbergs life. We hope you enjoy listening.
