On this week we argue whether Wes Anderson is racist or just misguided when reviewing Isle of dogs

...whether Robin Campillo is a good director or a great director when reviewing 120 BPM

...and whether anybody will be going to see I Kill Giants when reviewing I Kill Giants.

PLUS we find time to discuss the latest film projects by so-hot-right-now director Taika Watiti and everyone's favourite man child/performance artist Shia La Boeuf. I the words of this episode's editor:

 "This took forever to edit and I'm now very sleepy so please listen to it"

Film Chat is often asked: what do you do when you're not recording your opinions and asking people to listen to them? Well, we spend each morning gaming, and in the afternoon we watch a classic film. Then in the evening, we put on leg warmers and head to the skate park to boogie all night to Joy Division and practice solving Rubik's Cubes. For that reason, Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One is our favourite film of all time. Listen to this episode for a RAVE review. Danny also gives his verdict on Journeyman, Paddy Considine's sad boxing drama, a downer both in terms of its subject matter and quality.

PLUS! Sam belatedly catches up with I, Tonya, we hail news of the next film that will absolutely DESTROY Donald Trump, and we read from Sean Penn's masterpiece, Honey Do Boy or whatever it was called.

On this week's episode, Sam reviews the new Tomb Raider movie starring Alicia Vikander as the iconic Lara Croft. Danny refused to accompany him as he was strongly put off by the lack of giant triangular tits or as he put it, "The PC brigade have cucked my childhood!" Sam, however, thought it was ok.

Instead, Danny went to see Ruben Ostlund's The Square, the Palm D'or winning film about how modern art is shallow and the middle classes are all twats or something? As a middle class, pretentious moron he loved every second of it and during the screening was heard yelling stuff like "That's what i'm like!" "HAHA good one Ostlund!" and "I am being lampooned really well!"

They also found time to discuss the latest project from Spike Lee and have their eyes opened to the fact that the Men In Black franchise is fascist propaganda the likes of which Leni Riefenstahl could only dream about.

This week we review two highly dramatic, extremely intellectual films. They'll fly right over the heads of your average slack-jawed multiplex chump, but for discerning minds, they've got everything—languid close-ups of everyday objects, sad protagonists with tragic backstories, and cool violence. I'm referring to Annihilation, Alex Garland's latest headscratcher starring Natalie Portman and a collection of weird-ass plants and animals, and You Were Never Really Here, Lynne Ramsay's moody crime thriller starring an almost comically intense Joaquin Phoenix.

We also discuss some unappetising tidbits of news regarding the upcoming BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials; a shit-sounding cop film that James Mangold is making; and that guy who fucked a dolphin.

On this episode, we give our piping hot takes on the Oscars...a mere 8 days after they happened. We pour scorn on Jimmy Kimmel's lackluster hosting, gnash at teeth at the news that Johnny Greenwood didn't win best score and generally convey extreme apathy for an event which is essentially meaningless.

However, we are far more enthusiastic about the films Sweet Country and A Fantastic Woman which we thought were ace...but don't worry Sam shits all over Red Sparrow.

Finally, we give our fans what they've been clamoring after since episode one, a thorough 20-minute discussion on the merits of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2. #TeamEdward4DaWin

This week we tackle two of the early frontrunners for Best Picture 2019—you heard it here first folks!! First, Danny offers his take on Finding Your Feet, the latest film about twinkly-eyed, ageing posh people that he went to see with his dear mother. Tune in to find out if he found watching it painful like bunions or pleasant, like a nice foot rub. We also give our verdict on Duncan Jones' messy sci-fi noir Mute, which explores what would happen if you put a man who uses no technology (because he's Amish) in a world with lots of technology (because it's the future). As you can imagine, it's absolute madness.

Plus, we discuss the weird Buddhist movie blog launched by a recently-disgraced film critic, an upcoming oddity about Bob Geldof solving a murder, and some Bond news. We also lament the low numbers on a tweet Danny did, not realising that a few days after recording it would actually get quite a few retweets and likes. The lesson is: never give up on your dreams.

This week we tackle Lady Bird, the final Oscar-nominated film to make it to UK shores. As a couple of absolute legends whose teenage years were spent banging chicks, doing hard drugs and basically having a great time we struggled to relate to the film's themes of anxiety and the struggle for self-identity but we thought the jokes were good.

PLUS we discuss the winners, the losers, the snubs and the flubs at this year's Baftas, detail the exciting news of a fourth Ryan Coogler/Michael B Jordan collaboration, and talk about this year's most anticipated movie, a spinoff from To the Wonder.

This week we review Guillermo del Toro's acclaimed grown-up fairytale The Shape of Water, a film so romantic Sam added "would bang a fish" to his Tinder profile. We also declare Black Panther to be good, an endorsement that should give Marvel's latest blockbuster the box office boost it so sorely needs.

Plus! We talk about the film Pan and how shit it is, Uwe Boll's feud with Paul Thomas Anderson, and some upcoming projects from Paddington director Paul King, Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish. Danny also predicts the BAFTAs, which have now happened but hadn't when we recorded this.
