Diamonds In the Rough - our top 10


Listen Later

This week the Aussie brings a movie discussion topic to the podcast – Diamonds in the Rough.

We’re talking about films you might’ve scrolled past, dismissed, forgotten about, or never even heard of. These are the ones we reckon deserve a second look – the ones you should see.

We both picked a few that maybe aren’t technically in the rough – but they're close enough. They're films we love, we think you’ll love, and we explain why they still made the cut even if they don't quite fit the definition.

Will the footage ever see daylight? Who knows.

What we do know is the Aussie can’t stop checking himself out in the monitor mid-recording. Useless for you as a listener, but absolutely hilarious for us.

The Aussie also shares a strange and very funny story involving a taxi ride in New Zealand.

Now, would you consider any of these true diamonds in the rough?

  • 12 Angry Men

  • Strangers on a Train

  • Psycho – is it too famous to qualify?

  • Richard Jewell

  • A Clockwork Orange

  • Hamburger Hill

  • Manchester by the Sea

  • Saltburn

  • Carrie

  • Alexandra’s Project

  • Boiling Point

  • Nitram

  • Oldboy

    If a few of those don’t ring a bell – that’s exactly the point.

    No French New Wave, no obscure arthouse cinema. This is a meat-and-potatoes list of films we actually enjoy, and think you will too.

    Wait until you hear the Scotsman’s reaction to the Aussie’s number one pick – let’s just say the Scotsman makes a rare mistake and you can hear his brain glitching in real time.

    Let us know which ones you would’ve added.
