It's time for another epic as Brendan and Jason tackle the 1982 Richard Attenborough-directed biopic Gandhi. Is this one of the best performances of all-time with Ben Kingsley's Oscar-winning acting? Do the guys differ on their opinions of the movie as a whole? How are the American characters portrayed in the movie? All this and more in this week's episode! Next week: The first edition of Brit Picks with Jason bringing Jonathan Glazer's Sexy Beast to the discussion! Full List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_Top_100_British_films Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forscreenandcountry Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bfi_pod Our logo was designed by the wonderful Mariah Lirette (https://www.instagram.com/mariahhx)

This week, Brendan and Jason go back to the James Bond well with the movie that started it all - Dr. No. There were things that didn't hold up very well in Goldfinger but did this movie have more of the same? Were Jason's worries put to rest with there being less 'walking around' then he expected? The guys get into the iconic moments from the film, the slightly problematic representations of people of colour and women, the film's connection to Cary Grant and much more. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

This week, the guys investigate a very strange sort of biopic where anachronisms matter not and historical accuracy be damned! Derek Jarman's strange spectacle Caravaggio is dissected (insofar as much as the guys can parse the happenings in it) while special attention is also paid to the crazy life of Jarman himself, we get two very early performances by both Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton and America's favourite game show returns. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

This week, Brendan and Jason learn all there is to know about The Crying Game with #26 on the BFI Top 100. It's a film that was considered revolutionary at the time for its stance on gender politics but does it stand the test of time or is it dated in 2019? The guys also delve into the underrated performance of Miranda Richardson, whether the "twist" is ever going to fool anyone in today's age and much more. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

Happy Halloween! In celebration of the spookiest time of year, Brendan and Jason decide to talk all about The Wicker Man - the 1973 cult classic that inspired the Nicolas Cage remake. Is this film arguably just as weird as the film that succeeded it? Our main character is a 43-year old virgin, you say? The guys delve into a lot of the surreal aspects of the film, one star's harsh recounting of the making of the film and how indeed this thing came together in the first place. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

Bad News Bears... kinda. This week, Brendan and Jason go back to the more obscure flicks (at least to these doe-eyed Canucks) with 1954's The Belles of St. Trinian's. Much discussion is had about Alastair Sim and his amazing dual performance, the character of Flash Harry, pushing the boundaries of censorship and much more. Next week: The guys take a break from the list and discuss the Downton Abbey movie as well as other TV shows that later became films. Full List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_Top_100_British_films Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forscreenandcountry Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bfi_pod Our logo was designed by the wonderful Mariah Lirette (https://www.instagram.com/mariahhx)

Bow before your majesty!  This week, Brendan and Jason dive into the second-most-recently released film on the list - 1998's Elizabeth. The guys discuss the large amount of historical inaccuracies and if it takes away from the film's quality or not, they discuss the unique visuals one would not expect in a 'stuffy' costume drama, they break down one of the weirdest awards races ever and of course a whole lot more for you wonderful listeners. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

What if you suddenly realized you were a foreigner in your own land?! That's what happens in this week's film as residents of a small town called Pimlico suddenly come in possession of a document that proves that they are indeed betrothed to Burgundy, France in Passport to Pimlico. Brendan and Jason discuss some decidedly lighter fare this week in the form of an Ealing Studios comedy with lots of hijinx, illegal drinking, "inappropriate" clothes to answer the door with and a whole lotta silly romance! Hope you have your identification ready if you plan on checking out this week's show! The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.

EPIC. The long wait is over as Brendan and Jason finally tackle the David Lean epic to end all epics - Lawrence of Arabia. The film is dissected inside and out from the slightly problematic casting to the amazing performance by Peter O'Toole, the film's obvious influence on Steven Spielberg (and a wealth of others), the accuracy of the film's representation of T.E. Lawrence's life, the beautiful desert cinematography and much, much more. The guys also roll the dice to find out what they'll be watching next week.
