December 22, 2019 Christmas Special 2019
And we’re back! Just in time to celebrate the festive season by reviewing Christmas movies, familiar and strange. As a special seasonal bonus, Richard and Greg also present a New Year’s treat – so you get three films for the (non) price of four. This episode comes with a Christmas wish from us to you and yours, however familiar and strange yours may be…

July 21, 2019 S03 E10: Road Trip-Hazard
Richard and Greg review their 100th film (Sideways) about two guys on a road trip. So they take a 2000 km road trip of their own to the Australian Podcast Awards. This is possibly the World’s First Ever movie podcast recorded on the road. It’s certainly a world-first for the guys who have never shared a car trip further than the local pizza shop. So there’s only one question: “Is this just the end of Season 3 or the end of their ability to share enclosed spaces – and thus the end of the FMFW podcast…?”

June 23, 2019 S03 E09: Sports Day
Greg’s kinder friends would say that he’s blissfully unaware of Sports. So why would Richard engage him in conversation about films set in that world? Well, it’s not a complete bust when they review films about American sports and Aussie Rules footy – and Greg is actually highly enthused about one of them…
