  • The English Patient (#55)

    This week, Brendan and Jason crash their biplane into 1996's The English Patient (#55 on the BFI Top 100) - a movie where pretty things happen and pretty people act their hearts out while looking pretty. This movie won a buttload of Academy Awards so it's got that going for it. Moreover, at three hours long one can argue that you get a per-minute value on that rental fee. Plus: Brendan and Jason roll the dice to find out what movie they'll be covering when they return from a brief holiday hiatus on Monday, January 7th. Tell us all about your thoughts on The English Patient. Long? Epic? Beautiful? Boring? We wanna hear from YOU! Full List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_Top_100_British_films Facebook: www.facebook.com/forscreenandcountry Twitter: www.twitter.com/bfi_pod Our logo was designed by the wonderful Mariah Lirette (www.instagram.com/mariahhx)

  • Zulu (#31)

    In this week's episode, Brendan and Jason explore the heroics of British colonialism in the 1964 epic Zulu starring Stanley Baker and a very young Michael Caine. The guys debate if the film is racist or surprisingly progressive (considering the historical scenario), they are blown away by the amazing cinematography and sound design, Jason wonders how necessary Jack Hawkins' preacher character is to the whole story and much more. Plus: Brendan and Jason roll the dice to find out what movie they'll be covering next week. Tell us all about Zulu and what you thought of the film. Did we miss anything? Were we wrong about something?

They discuss how Lean was hated by basically everyone, they debate about the romance overshadowing the historical importance of the time period, discuss Pasha's (Tom Courtenay) complete character transformation, gush about Omar Sharif's incredible eye acting and much, much more. Plus: Brendan and Jason roll the dice to find out what movie they'll be covering next week. Tell us all about your thoughts on Doctor Zhivago by getting at us on the various social media platforms. Does it deserve its place in history? Yes? No? Problematic elements? Genuine love?
