Forgotten Films

Double Simon trouble as Simon Louis Ong and Peter Simmons-Hayes (Mise-en-Smàsh) step into Film Nerd Studios to talk about the film Airport. We chat about the problematic writer Rom-Com Bot G-1, Chili's chicken crispers, and Shirley Temple's on-screen chemistry with Topher Grace. Then we take a visit to Cinema Island to find out what films Simon and Peter will be watching for the rest of their lives. 

Simon (the host of the podcast) also offers a bit of an update on where he's living at the moment (spoiler alert: it's with his twin uncles). 

Make sure you rate, review, and subscribe and also follow the pod on Twitter @filmspodcast. If you have the title of a film you want to hear reviewed or discussed on the cast, DM me there, or email me at [email protected].

We discuss the special effects used to turn Idris Elba into the Geico Gecko, writer Tony Desantis's interesting choices, and our time at the Aaron Sorkin and Ron Howard Masterclasses. Plus, we step into the Writer's Room to rewrite a kids classic, Flubber.

Sarah Poirier (Magnet Theater) steps into Film Nerd Studios to talk about the 1988 classic Brothers-in-Law starring Al Pacino and Bob de Niro. Simon and Sarah chat about the book the film is based on, the artistic choice of including footage from Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman's actual wedding, and the old creek. 

Sarah also gives us an update on the coffee shop she's running from her studio apartment and Simon has a bit of a mouse problem. 

Finally, we visit Movie Island where Sarah will be spending the rest of her life and can only pick two movies to watch for all of eternity.

Actor and comedian Brendan Goggins joins Simon to be very mean to Simon and to also talk about Ryan's Farm, written and directed by the third Cohen brother, Gary Cohen.

Simon and Brendan discuss whether seeing a character doing a spreadsheet at the beginning of the film and then using that skill at the end counts as a Chekhov's Gun (it can and does), Fred Willard's daring performance as Mean Mr. Business Man, and pigs pooping out of their butts. Then, Brendan and Simon enter the writer's room to rewrite Saving Private Ryan to make it less scary.
