Filmotomy Podcast

It is just Bianca and Robin on this kind of special edition podcast, all about the late, great Krzysztof Kieślowski. As our 10 Days of Krzysztof Kieślowski comes to an end, the two of us drift in and out of consciousness as we revel in the wonder of the Polish filmmaker's incredible film career. Robin has been a fan for as long as he can remember, whereas Bianca is fairly new to the director - having just watched the Three Colours trilogy for the very first time. Should make for enthralling conversation. Have a listen, subscribe to SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher, and feel free to leave your comments and ratings.

In this week's podcast we flesh out some of the most important corners of cinema. Independent film. Host Bianca is joined by Robin, Doug, Joel, and Aaron to discuss the many chapters of indie cinema, from the early years, Italian Neo-Realism, the French New Wave, to the rise of American independent film in the 80s and 90s. Have a listen, review or comment, and subscribe through SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher.

An impromptu episode of The Filmotomy Seminar - and perhaps some much needed therapy for me - as I finally pose the tantalizing question about why folk are not predicting The Favourite to win Best Picture at the Oscars this Sunday. I am joined by Bianca, Aaron, and Brandon to share my countless reasons as to why The Favourite warrants this status. The gang also put their cases forward, as well as look at why The Favourite might not win. We also discuss many of the other Oscars issues as we head closer and closer to the big night. Have a listen, let us know your views, and please subscribe via SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher.

Love is in the air at Filmotomy, as we succumb to the temptations of Valentine's Day, with this week's podcast. We're going to relate all this lovey-dovey stuff to the movies of course. Joining hostess Bianca "Alma" Garner, is Jeremy "Thin Man" Robinson, and Audrey "Sugarpuss" Fox. They attempt to define the movie couple, pick out some bad examples, before making some rather memorable choices. Have a listen, and do let us know some of your favourite film twosomes. Or threesomes if you feel the need. Leave us any comments, ratings, and don't forget to subscribe to us via SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher.

Bianca and I (Robin) are joined by Doug Jamieson and Ryan McQuade to delve deep into our picks for Sunday night's BAFTA awards. As much as we are fed up of everyone talking about Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody, we still spend quite a bit of time talking about Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody. We also look at how The Favourite could potentially prove itself with the British Academy, which front-runners are looking good for Oscar chances, as well as those that might surprise. Have a listen, subscribe through SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher - and please leave us a review / comments / rating. God save the Queen.

Another Oscars podcast from Filmotomy. This time we pluck some of the more scandalous moments from the history of the Academy Awards. Well, perhaps not all scandals, but some very dodgy moments indeed. Bianca is hosting, and joined by Robin and Doug - as well as special guest KT Schaefer all the way from Next Best Picture. Getting plenty off our chest regarding some dubious Oscars decisions, we then take our wrath upon this very year - with the likes of Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody dominating the headlines for the wrong reasons.

G'day! To celebrate Australia Day, and to quite frankly cover a topic we have touched upon before, the Filmotomy Podcast this week focuses on the cinema of Australia. Joining host Bianca and editor Robin is, of course, our resident Australian Doug. We quiz the Aussie on which of the popular films down under he has seen, and we also pick out some highly recommended films of Australian past and present. As always please enjoy the show, leave any comments or reviews, plus subscribe to iTunes, SoundCloud, and Stitcher.

As the dust settles, many of us are still processing the announcement of the 91st Academy Award nominations yesterday. Robin, Jo, Jonathan, and Joel took to Skype to "enjoy" the revealing of the Oscar nominations together. So here is that recording, with only minimal editing, as the four Filmotomers soak up the surprises, snubs, and the much more obvious results. Be sure to subscribe to The Filmotomy Seminar, as well as our Podcast, on SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher.

The Filmotomy Seminar gathers a bunch of hopeful, not yet completely disheveled, Oscar watchers ahead of the Producers Guild of America announcement. This time around I am joined by: our newest writer at Filmotomy, Daniel Joyeux; returning from the last seminar, Tom Beasley; our regular Podcast host, Bianca Garner; and usual suspects in all things film-discussion, Doug Jamieson and Jonathan Holmes.

The six of us attempt to grapple with where the Oscar race is right now, looking for those fifth slots, potential surprises, and dreaded snubs. We also talk about the upcoming PGA Awards, choosing our picks to win, and where the awards season goes from there. Please enjoy the show. Have a listen while you finalise your own PGA predictions. Please subscribe on Stitcher, iTunes, and SoundCloud - and we always welcome your comments, reviews, and ratings.

This week's podcast rides the wave of nostalgia as we look back to our memories of the days when we would watch movies on the VHS format. There are plenty of stories to be told about the pre-DVD revolution. Bianca is here to host the show, with Audrey, Doug, and Jeremy also here to give us their blasts from the past. There is even a VHS quiz to start the old ball rolling. Tune it, and don't forget to subscribe via SoundCloud, iTunes, and Stitcher - any comments and reviews are of course always welcome.
