Once Greg gets past his shock that ANYONE over the age of 30 could NOT have seen “The Sound of Music”, he and Richard review three apparently unrelated films.
Only to discover that there’s an accidental theme linking them all…
Cabaret (1972) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-04-cabaret 
The Sound of Music (1965) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-04-music 
Dr Strangelove (1964) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-04-strangelove 

From the gritty realism of post-war Rome to a light caper film set in Paris.
And something halfway between – a grim Orwellian dystopia which our hero seeks to escape through Pythonesque flights of fancy.
Brazil (1985) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-03-brazil 
Bicycle Thieves (1948) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-03-bicycle 
Charade (1963) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-03-charade

Because everyone has to do a Christmas Special.
Richard and Greg each provide their seasonal Christmas film for the other’s premiere viewing – respectfully and with due consideration of feelings (perhaps). And then Richard has his first experience of a bona fide Christmas classic.
Scrooged (1988) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-xmas-scrooged 
Bad Santa (2003) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-xmas-santa 
It’s A Wonderful Life (1946) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-xmas-wonder 

Richard and Greg each catch up on a seminal Hitchcock film, to get past their fears of heights and showers. Then they revisit a feel-good romantic comedy to lighten the mood.
Vertigo (1958)  http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-02-vertigo58
Psycho (1960)  http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-02-psycho60
Love Actually (2003)  http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-01-02-love 

 Richard and Greg introduce themselves and the podcast.  They review just the one film to get us all started – and discuss where their podcast will be going.
