With you Were Never Really Here just out of U.K. cinemas, we though we'd take the opportunity to look at our countrywoman's career. Join us as we also discuss Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and also her short films. Listen in! That's certainly a thing you could do.

The month's end draws close, so that can only mean it's time for another round-up of movies what we have done watched and that. Join us as we talk the heck out of All The Money In The World, Molly's Game, Phantom Thread, and The Titan. Full show notes at http://www.fudsonfilm.com/intermission-april-2018/

We're back once again to straddle the line in discord and rhyme, as look at two werewolf-based flicks with An American Werewolf in London and Dog Soldiers. Will they bring our mouths alive with juices like wine, or do they smell like they sound and get lost in a crowd? You simply must listen in to find out!

In this exciting episode we turn our attention to the matter of live action adaptations of animations. Why? How dare you question us, insolent pup! Full show notes at http://www.fudsonfilm.com/animated-adaptations/

It's time for another review round-up, this time taking on Black Panther, Lady Bird, Annihilation, I, Tonya, A Fantastic Woman, Mute, and The Shape Of Water. Tasty. Full show notes at http://www.fudsonfilm.com/intermission-march-2018/

Following the concluding part of our Studio Ghibli exploration, we thought we'd stay within the realm of animation and look at two adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings epic, which we trust needs little introduction. While Ralph Bakshi's take on Lord of the Rings doesn't quite get the recognition it deserves, we had at least heard of it, unlike Rankin-Bass' Return of the King. Join us as we find out if they're worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Peter Jackson's adaptations. Full show notes at http://www.fudsonfilm.com/animated-lotr/

So we come, finally, to the last of our episodes focusing on the output of Japan’s most famous film studio and, for me at least, the greatest feature animation production company of all time: Studio Ghibli. Our first two Studio Ghibli episodes covered the directorial canon of the company’s human figurehead, co-founder and legendary storyteller Hayao Miyazaki, and in our third episode we brought our attention to bear on the work of his long-time collaborator and business partner Isao Takahata, Ghibli’s other co-founder. In this episode we’re going to be talking about the work of “the other guys”, the less-celebrated directors who together have created the seven Studio Ghibli features not helmed by either Miyazaki or Takahata. These are films that are typically lesser known, and certainly have been directed by less star-studded names, but we hope to be able to enlighten you to any qualities they may have, and to guide you to the titles that you should put on your watchlist.
