This week Disney literally takes off with the Cars franchise and leaves Pixar on the tarmac below. Does this new bird's-eye view bring some much needed to perspective to the anti-logic nightmare that is the Cars franchise? No. Should you still listen to the FMB try their darndest to make sense of it all? Only if you dare.

next episode: The Fabelmans

After a brief hiatus over the Chrismtas break, the FMB is back in 2023. Starting off the New Year is an episode that should have been released back in 2022 - the FMB talk Don Siegel's "Charley Varrick", a low key Walter Matthau-starring thriller with something of a chip on its shoulder.

It's Burt Reynold's O'clock at the FMB studio and time for our hosts to check in with the late star. On the agenda this week is 1981's, The Cannonball Run - the big questions on the boy's lips after watching: Is this funny? Is this racist? Is this even a movie? next week: Sky-person James Cameron returns with Avatar: The Way of Water  

Get down on all fours, butt in the air, and gorge with us on Luca Guadagnino's sumptuous offering full of shocks, tenderness and absolutely barnstorming performances. The true capstone to this year's FMB maneater series is here! next week: The Cannonballl Run

Rian Johnson and Benoit Blanc are back at it again with another "Knives Out mystery". Johnson dons the magician's hat again and engages in some major misdirection, but when the FMB hold up the film to esteemed Golden Age author Edward Knox's Ten Commandments of detective fiction - does the film come out virtuous or full of sin? Tune in and find out! next week: Bones and All

This week the boys discuss 'North Sea Hijack', in which a bearded, beanie-wearing, alcoholic, cat-loving, woman-hating character named Rufus Excalibur ffolkes, played by the dearly departed Roger Moore, takes on a group of oil rig hijackers led by Anthony Perkins and Michael Parks (possibly lovers). It's Under Siege by way of the British Isles! 

next week: Glass Onion

So we got together in the flesh to talk about America's favourite chainsaw dancin', chilli cookin' cannibal family. In our excitement we forgot to record good quality audio, sorry gang, but this one's gonna sound a little like we're recording out of Leatherface's meat locker. 

next week: North Sea Hijack

This week the FMB pay their belated dues to the dearly departed Fred Ward by watching him and co-star Kevin Bacon essentially play 'The Floor is Shai-Hulud' for our viewing pleasure. *REBA ALERT*, she's in this one too, fam ;) .
