Fuds On Film

We examine what's surely the definitive buddy cop franchise in our latest episode, with a look at Lethal Weapons one through four. Join us and revisit these slices of extra-judicial mayhem!

The bell has tolled for The Suicide Squad, Lost in the Moonlight, Gunpowder Milkshake, Pig, and Jungle Cruise. Let's see which ought to be washed away by the sea, and which should remain involved in mankind.

We investigate six of Austrian director and screenwriter Michael Haneke's outpu, namely Caché, The White Ribbon, Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, Amour, and Happy End. Will our report be positive? Negative? Both? Neither? Tune in and find out!

Some time ago we did a whole episode on time travel films without mentioning Robert Zemeckis and ‎Bob Gale's Back to the Future series, their bold updating of Oedipus, so today we remedy that oversight and see if the pride of 1985 and its follow-ups live up to their reputations, and their posters. Remember when movie posters were good?

Another month, another batch of films present themselves for judgement. What will we make of Black Widow, Fast & Furious 9, Luca, The Tomorrow War, The Dead Don't Die, and Censor? Tune in and find out!

We take a trip back to the nineties with a look at Ronin and The Rock, two action thrillers notable for having their dialogue punched up by luminaries you may not expect. Do the hold up in the harsh light of 2K21? Tune in and find out!

In this exciting episode we are taking a look at some selected works of Álex de la Iglesia, after a number of stars came into alignment that hinted at him being worthy of further investigation than our brief exposure to him at the EIFF many moons ago. So, we should do that then.

Loaded into this month's arbitrary film review roulette are Wrath of Man, Cruella, and Army of the Dead. Which of them clean up, and which gets swept into the trash? The answer to this confusing, poorly constructed hypothetical can only be found out by listening in! Rien ne va plus.

Can the pupil can match the teacher? We compare and contrast Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and J.J. Abrams' Super 8 in our latest episode. Check it out!

It's an open secret that the podcast slot we nominally refer to as "Compare and Contrast" is normally twisted into a way to cover a couple of films we fancy taking a butchers at, but we do keep a list of a few candidates that are more directly comparable than most. Some of these cover that Hollywood phenomenon where, by coincidence or design, films with closely related subject matter are released mere months apart, like Deep Impact and Armageddon, or Volcano and Dante's Peak, covered in our Disaster Movies extravaganza back in 2016. Another such example, of course, takes place in the Wild West, with Wyatt Earp's 1994 release fairly closely following from 1993's Tombstone. So, lets get to lookin'.
