It's women-centric sequels week on Film Chat, as Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy help five fugitive wives dodge a hundred exploding cars in Mad Max Fury Road; and Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and the rest of the Barden Bellas take to the global aca-stage for some more aca-tastic a capella singing in Pitch Perfect 2.Plus, we discuss the prospects for the upcoming Blade Runner sequel, and we talk about how great Emily Blunt is, not only standing up for women in flats at the Cannes Film Festival but also providing us with a delicious recipe for chicken noodle soup. Finally we try our hand at coming up with some crackling Aaron Sorkin-esque dialogue for Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic.

We review Big Game, the film where Samuel L Jackson battles terrorists with the help of little a Finnish boy. No characters in the film deliver the line "Let me finish" or "I'm gonna finish him off" or "I'm finished" Which, in this reviewer's opinion, is a massive wasted opportunity.We follow it with a review of acclaimed French drama Girlhood. No characters in the film deliver the line "I'm just a girl from the hood!". Which, in this reviewers opinion, is a colossal wasted opportunity.Finally we check out Ukrainian sign language film The Tribe, which has a complete lack of any memorable dialogue. Which, in this reviewer's opinion, is a gargantuan wasted opportunity.We also reminisce about our bowling trip, tackle the latest movie news and wonder whether the decision to cast Germaine Greer as Mad Max has turned the franchise too feminist.

It's navel-gazing artist week on Film Chat! We've got a blast from the past in the form of Federico Fellini's avant-garde Italian classic 8 1/2, and a blast from right now as Chris Rock fictionalises his own life in Top Five. Who would win in a fight between Fellini and Rock? That's just one of the questions this episode does not address.Plus, we take look at Orson Welles at the pinnacle of his career -- drunkenly advertising champagne and board games -- and we discuss all the latest blockbuster tidbit news items.In a nod to the upcoming election, we also examine the favourite films of party leaders Cameron, Clegg, Miliband, and Farage. What's that you say, the election already happened? Most of those people have resigned? I don't know what you're talking about and I refuse to contemplate it.

This week on Film Chat, Danny reviews one of the year's most hotly anticipated epics -- the Iranian vampire drama A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, which is already crushing box office records around the globe. Its only rival is the massive The Falling, a psycho-sexual British drama about an all-girls school in the 60s which Sam tackles in an exhaustively detailed review of his own. We also offer an exclusive look at Idris Elba's unused soundtrack contribution for Fast & Furious 7, rejected by Universal for lack of relevance and constant references to John Luther.We discuss upcoming space films Star Trek: Beyond (recently given a title) and Star Wars: Rogue One (recently given a plot). Substantial airtime is also devoted to plugging our bowling night, which all our listeners are encouraged to attend (see our Facebook post for further details).Finally, we take a moment to mention obscure superhero blowout Avengers: Age of Ultron, but it doesn't go that well because Sam can't remember any of the characters' names.
