  • S2E2. ’Bullet Train’ and How Winking is Killing Cinema

    "And this is what I should've said, I thought it, but I kept it hid."

    Lil' Silky goes FULL video essay mode with a 3000+ word write-up on cutesy references and...circumlocutory filmmaking!(?) He's out for blood when it comes to bloated, non-specific filmmaking and he's keen to tell you why. Also, Marvel rants may or may not be featured.


    The Silkster follows it up with a (late) review on Bullet Train (22:08), that action movie that was on a bunch of billboards for a while.

  • S2E1. ’Top Gun: Maverick’

    "They're called ORDERS."

    Lil' Silky goes Mach 10 and unpacks the cultural phenomenon that is Top Gun: Maverick.

    The Silkster talks ageing movie heroes, a return to cinemas post-pandemic and whether movies are back in 2022 (hint: they are).

  • Ep 26. ’2001: A Space Odyssey’

    'Open the pod bay doors HAL.' 

    Good Brother and Lil' Silky celebrate their 6-month birthday with Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece (and Lil' SIlky's favourite film) '2001: A Space Odyssey'. 

    The boys talk apes, emotive film-making and ignore all questions about what the final half an hour of the film really means.

    1 hr 21 min
  • Ep 25. ’Mistaken for Strangers’

    'IT TAKES AN OCEAN NOT TO BREAK!!' 

    Good Brother and Lil' Silky won't fuck us over this week as they take on the documentary 'Mistaken for Strangers', starring The National and Tom Berninger. 

    The boys talk their favourite National songs and admire this hilarious, self-aware and (maybe?) true story.

    55 min
  • Ep 24. ’Greenberg’

    Baumbach? Gerwig? Stiller? MURPHY??? 

    Lil' Silky and Good Brother follow their ears and tackle Noah Baumbach's 2010 LA moody comedy 'Greenberg'. 

    The number one question on the boys' minds is the debut soundtrack from LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy. Listen for some chats about some killer soundtracks and lost potential.

    1 hr 11 min
  • Ep 23B. ’Zack Synder’s Justice League’ (w/ Dani)

    'What is brunch?'

    In the epic conclusion to an Earth-shaking podcasting event, Good Brother, Lil' Silky and Dani finally give their takes on Zack Synder's Justice League. 

    The group talk slo-mo, Batman's goofy goggles and the best ways to stay awake during a four hour film.

    1 hr 42 min
  • Ep 23A. ’Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ (w/ Dani)

    'Something is definitely bleeding.' 

    In the first part of a mammoth podcasting event, Good Brother and Lil' Silky are joined by 'Big Thoughts, Little Minds' co-host and part-time DC expert Dani and take on Zack Snyder's Justice League. 

    The group talk their history with superheroes, compare their own intelligence to Lex Luther and ultimately end up rating the 2017 cut of the film (spoiler alert: not positively). 

    To be continued... 


    P.s. Lil' Silky would like to note that he accidentally identified the Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice box office takings as $117 million, as opposed to $873.6 million.

    1 hr 25 min
  • Ep 22. ’Children of Men’

    Good Brother and Lil' Silky choose hope in a derelict 2027 UK with Alfonso Cuaron's ambitious and ahead of it's time 'Children of Men'. 

    The boys talk Blu-Ray, Clive Owen's detailed face and even disagree on a few things for once!

About Ego Hour

From the publisher's feed

Ego Hour is a (rarely) hour-long podcast hosted by the members of independent dance group ‘Ego Problem’. Each week, front man and resident film school student Lil’ Silky along with producer and just-happy-to-be-here movie-goer Good Brother, will break down and review a different film. Ego Hour gives two brothers separated by COVID (and the metro-regional Victoria border checkpoint) a chance to catch up and get objective. There will be hot-takes, there will be original music, there will be self-promotion and 'There Will Be Blood'.
