Danny tackles Amy, the Amy Winehouse documentary which charts the singer's tragically short lived life encompassing her phenomenal songwriting talent, her treatment by the media and her problems with addiction.

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. On this podcast we've had 33 episodes of giggling, bad impressions, meandering chit chat and too much singing, and what has that produced? Among other things, a review of The Third Man, the noir classic and Best British Film Ever which is back in cinemas following a digital restoration.Also out this week is Slow West, the unconventional Western that sees Michael Fassbender's sexy gunslinger and Kodi Smit-McPhee's less sexy lovelorn waif trying to navigate the not-at-all-sexy hazards of 19th century Colorado. Did Film Chat like it? Find out in our extremely sexy review.We also discuss: a pair of attempts to bring past hits back to life, as sequels line up for gay plane film Top Gun and angry pagans film The Wicker Man; Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Downey Jr.'s dream to transform their idea for a live action Pinocchio into a real film; and Film Chat listener Dougal's drug-addled liveblogging of his experience watching the rom com Leap Year.

Danny and Sam celebrated the diversity of cinema this week by spending consecutive evenings watching two films so different it's hard to believe they can exist in the same medium. The Look of Silence is a wrenching documentary about the darkest extremes of human behaviour and the way we process tragedy; Jurassic World features a man who wants to draft velociraptors into the US army.For the parts of the episode not spent crying uncontrollably or derisively snorting, we discuss all the latest news surrounding Paul Feig's new Ghostbusters film, which recently acquired a hunky receptionist; Eli Roth's Meg, an upcoming disaster movie about a prehistoric leviathan that we have to assume resembles the miserable teen from Family Guy; and possible nicknames for our hordes of fans to use for themselves. We round things off with a musical number to bid farewell one of the greatest actors never to play Spider-Man, the legendary Christopher Lee.

An air of melancholy hangs over this episode of Film Chat, as we turn 30 and reflect on our heady misspent youth. Tearing up the town on wild podcasting binges, banging 7 gram rocks and film-reviewing till dawn, smashing out jingle after jingle until our voices were almost too hoarse to croak out disparaging remarks about Kingsman: The Secret Service... where did the time go?On the episode itself, we take a long hard look at two more miserable ageing artists taking a long hard look at themselves: Jason Schwartzman in Listen Up Phillip and Juliette Binoche in Clouds of Sils Maria. Plus, our suggestions for the best tribute bands fronted by famous actors; our views on Netflix and Amazon's latest movie director additions to their ever-expanding TV empires; and friend-of-the-podcast Woody Allen's confused reaction to the latest Terminator film.Next week: an increasingly sober and mature podcast discusses the top 15 ISAs, which of us would make the best shadow minister for transport, and how to find good-value dining tables on Gumtree.

As Sam's contract stipulates that he will only review films that cost over £60million to make, Danny is once again forced to take the arthouse bullet and reviews Results - an drama so indie it makes Garden State look like The Maze Runner. The duo then tackle SPY, the latest offering from Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy. A movie built around the premise that Melissa McCarthy doesn't look like a spy but then if she looked like a spy she wouldn't be a good spy so she's actually a good spy. They also check out the latest movie news, pitch ideas for potential rom coms and generally revel in each other's company.
