A modern classic this week, James Cameron's Avatar (2009) has been re-released in cinemas ahead of its sequel this December. We absolutely couldn't resist.

This one is ripe with spoilers, but can you really blame us? It's 13 years since Avatar's release so even if you've not watched it yet, sit back and enjoy this episode.

Some stuff we touch on...

• Films about exploitation
• Our favourite things about Pandora
• What we hope for the rest of the franchise

It's the time you've all been waiting for - our first guest! Listeners, please welcome to the mic, Matt Carter. Director (among many other credits) of new gay rugby film In From The Side.

In this interview special, we don't get too heavy into spoilers; but as you might expect, it is difficult to keep completely spoiler-free. Go and see In From The Side while it's still in the cinema (find your nearest screen on instagram @infromtheside).

Some stuff we touch on...

• A new kind of gay storytelling
• The art of cutting a good trailer
• Making a feature film on a tight budget

Another classic re-release this week - this famous shark was destined for IMAX. Jaws had Ned jumping out of the seat!

If, like Ned until this week, you've not seen Jaws before: (1) what are you playing at? (2) careful of spoilers, but still a fun episode that might even tempt you to watch it

Some stuff we touch on...

• Spielberg's first blockbuster
• Declan's childhood fear
• Early animatronics

Trailer Trash or Treasure? Or should we say Trailers... So many dropped at D23 last week we've given you 2!

What better excuse to talk about an oldie (but goldie) than E.T.'s 40th Anniversary? "Phone home" and tell your family about this episode.

The usual spoiler alert, but it is 40 years old at this point, so even if you haven't seen E.T. give listen to this episode and see if we can tempt you.

A taste of some of the topics we discuss...

• How iconic cinema can shape the industry
• Child actors
• Practical vs CGI special effects

Is this film one to miss? NOPE. Especially while it's still in cinemas.

Caution, spoilers ahead - like really spoilers - and this one is worth watching if you have no idea what's coming...

This film deserves its own episode - so that's what we've given it. Tune in to check out what we thought.

A taste of some of the topics we discuss...

• Jordan Peele 🥹
• Storytelling devices
• We get deep into the plot - and we're not even sorry.

There's quite a contrast in this instalment of GOF - from an extraterrestrial trophy killer to a fantasy world of misunderstood creatures from the deep, the theme this week is hunting (a happy accident rather than by clever design, but we'll take it!)

We've watched the latest in the Predator franchise; Prey - a prequel set in 18th century North America - and a new nautical almost-fairytale animated feature from Netflix; The Sea Beast.

Caution, spoilers ahead! But just in case you've seen one and not the other, check out the timestamps below:

Prey

The Sea Beast

A taste of some of the topics we discuss...

• Everything else we're watching and hoping to watch
• Getting films back into cinemas
• The indigenous mixed with the sci-fi
• Beautiful cinematography

We're back after a short holiday, it was lovely thanks!

This week we're talking about Lightyear (of Toy Story renown) and Bullet Train (of locomotive fame).

Caution, spoilers ahead! It's nothing life-changing, but if you prefer to approach from an unadulterated angle, watch these films before you listen.

A taste of some of the topics we discuss...

• Throwing it back, the nostalgia factor
• Where did the same-sex kiss go?
• Fitting a 2-hour movie into a 2-minute trailer
• The trouble with whitewashing

Whether you call this episode a SPECIAL or a BONUS is immaterial, we've changed it up for episode 3 because, after San Diego Comic Con 2022, there are too many trailers to choose from for Trailer Trash or Treasure this week.

Not the usual spoiler warning, it's much more interactive and you can watch along with us if you are so inclined.

Trailers and timestamps for your convenience:

(03:50) Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves

(06:16) Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

(09:44) Black Adam

(14:43) House of the Dragon

(19:28) She Hulk: Attorney at Law

(30:14) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
