We’re back with another episode, fresh from the Meat Markets and ready to head into space! Heads up, we talk about meat, butchery, dissection and other stuff that might upset our vegan and more squeamish friends until about the 10:40 timestamp. After we catch up on all the movies we’ve seen over the past month, we venture into space, watching Ron Howard’s epic ‘Apollo 13’ (1995). Did we ever really land on the moon? Which Apollo mission blew up? And have we been to a planet yet? Big questions, big narrative, yet ANOTHER Tom Hanks film (our third, we love him!), and more in this new ep!

Wellllllll hiiii! Yes, it’s us, your old friends; we’re back baby! After 476 days with no new episodes we thought it was about time we got back on the horse. We missed youuu! We’re not back to our old tricks entirely; we’ll just record episodes when we have the time/space/bandwidth, but we’ll be sure to let you know movies for our future episodes at least a week in advance so you can still play along!
To find our feet again, this brand new episode for 2023 features a 30min catch up on our lives and lots of the movies we’ve seen over the past 15 months, and then us doing what we do best after watching ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ (1993). Did we find the characters unhinged? Yes. Do we confuse our Bill Paxtons with our Bill Pullmans? Yes. Does Patrick have any general working knowledge of the Apollo missions? TBD.

PEW PEW PEW [insert quoteable phrase for acton figure here] KABOOM! It’s action week, kids! We’re walking beyond where the sun touches into new shadowland. Well, kinda, coz Patrick watched both of these movies quite a bit as a kid, but evidently didn’t properly take them in or appreciate them. We hit up two real classics this week with ‘Speed’ (1994) and ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ (1991), and have an absolute ball! We feed some shrimp, there’s yet another episode of Patrick’s Queer Awakenings in Cinema, and Emma decides that parody is NOT comedy, and actually being on a bus with a bomb on it is NOT a laughing matter.

We’re slipping back in time to 1999 again this week for our second edition of 1999 Week, and our fourth edition of People’s Choice week. These two films were the third and fourth most popular choices in our polls, and make for a really wonderful pairing. ‘Magnolia’ (1999) confused and tested us with its labyrinthine 24hr plot with inter-tangled, fractured narratives, and ‘Jawbreaker’ delighted with its unique pairing of dark and camp. Both of these films SCREAM the 90s, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. Pull up an inflatable couch, pop out a jawbreaker (or gobstopper, if your Strayan), shut the f*#k up, and don't call me lady!

This week we hit up our master list and committed to doing two big ones that we REALLY should have seen. Two films that were wildly different. And little did we know that we’d find resonances across them both… and here we have Underdog Week. ‘Rocky’ (1976) and ‘Legally Blonde’ (2001); two films about (contextually speaking) an underdog who we have no chance but to root for as they overcome ridiculous hurdles and display incredible tenacity and discover what really matters. And for good measure, a fantastic longform version of the story of Patrick moving house, and a discussion that lingers probably a bit too long on the topic of analingus. Bon appétit!

Want to skip ahead? ‘Rocky’ starts at 0:19:20 and ‘Legally Blonde’ starts at 1:25:00.

This is People’s Choice Week Vol. 3, but more notably the first episode in a new series we’ve started where we watch films from 1999 - one of, arguably, the greatest years of cinema. We kicked things off with a poll across all our socials of 8 films that neither of us had seen and the two that were clearly at the top of everyone’s wishlist were ‘Being John Malkovich’ (1999) and ‘Cruel Intentions’ (1999). This week we explore the metaphysical, the metaphorical and the metaphrased bastardised French pronunciation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Oh, and seamlessly (you’ll never notice) Patrick moves house in the middle of the episode with Emma’s assistance. You’ll be hearing about it forever, don’t worry. Happy lockdown Sydney friends, see you in 2 more weeks for another ep!

We’re still in lockdown and we’re tackling two films by the great man himself this week: Steven Spielberg. Patrick has shockingly never seen ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’ (1982) before, and neither Patrick nor Emma have seen the chilling and legendary ‘Jaws’ (1975), but this week we watch ‘em both. Of course, we can’t help but talk about Catholicism (again), Patrick gets his first ‘jab’ mid-episode, and we talk about all sorts of random shit, but this is a good one folks, we lock in to our movie nerd-dom properly this week. Both of these films command reverence and respect, what a shame we’re the two people to be trusted with such a task… (no ramen was pissed into this week).

Well, Covid done got us again girl. We’ve been locked down, but a silly pandemic isn’t gonna get in the way of us talking shit, so we bought a second microphone, set up Emma in 3 different rooms in her house, ultimately settling on the backseat of a car as a recording studio, and struggled for 90min to get semi-podcast quality recorded conversation while in different houses. But it was WORTH IT because this week’s films were bangers, Disney’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (1996) and Dreamworks’ ‘The Prince of Egypt’ (1998) - two huge vaguely religiously themed animated family features that Emma somehow missed seeing. Also, they’re musicals! Could these be more up our alley?

“America! America! / God shed His grace on thee / And crown thy good with brotherhood / From sea to shining sea!” This week brings with it a double bill brought about by an immediate need to watch one of the selected films ahead of our visit to see ‘American Psycho: The Musical’ at the Opera House. ‘American Beauty’ (1999) has already been contextualised in Patrick’s filmic history on this podcast before, with Emma very excited to watch it for the first time, and we were both of us were thrilled for our first foray into the darkly comic ‘American Psycho’ (2000). This week, y’all, we get INTO it. The elephant in the room (rhymes with Devon Facey) is spoken about at length, and we dig a bit deeper with our analytical brains this week… we is smart. But for balance we also we talk about peeing on the floor. And peeing into ramen. Look, mates, it’s a journey, just go with it…

We’re back! Our eyes are crystal clear and our stress levels are… well… our eyes are crystal clear! This week we entered another round of People’s Choice, watching movies you voted for on our Insta stories, and the winners were ‘Black Panther’ (2018) and ‘The Notebook’ (2004). You’re a varied and cheeky bunch, these films are quite the contrast when juxtaposed, and we love it! As well as talking about the films, we get down to talking about milkshake ducks, Veruca Salt’s father, sex in the rain, and the time a THEATRE, of all places, decided Patrick’s voice was too gay.
