This week, a primer for Killers of the Flower Moon. A four hour epic masterpiece deserves two parts and one fully dedicated to the plot itself. So tune in for pre-production, filming and public reactions to the film and next week we will deep dive the plot. Please take care when listening, there is frank discussion on the reign of terror, residential schools, and systemic oppression.

The reason for the post today, John, is I heard a podcast and it is perhaps the best thing I’ve listened to in the last six months….

Drake is back this week for The Wolf of Wall Street! Released in 2013 it tells the true story of Jordan Belfort and his pursuit of sex, drugs and a “fuck ton” of money. It is excessive, crass, debauched and undeniably a masterpiece.

Tune in because it’ll be nothing but short skirts 👀

Podcasts are cheap in this town, darlin', and I got a lot of money. I am back this week with The Aviator! Martin Scorsese's 2004 film on the life of legendary Director Howard Hughes. It covers his highs and lows across 30 years of his life. Cameos from all your favourite stars posing as other stars. Grab your favourite brand of banana nut ice cream and tune in.

Get out from behind those lace curtains because this week we are covering The Departed. 

Zach joins me to deep dive what we both consider to be Scorsese’s best film. Everything about this film works to pull you in, chew you up and spit you out. 

So make sure you tune in…maybe, maybe not, maybe go fuck yourself? 

This is the first in a summer series on the films of  Martin Scorsese

To celebrate Father's Day & the 51st anniversary of the film itself, I am re-releasing last years episode covering JAWS!

Take a bite out of this week's episode on JAWS! We are joined again this week by guest my dad Michael Moroz. Together we unpack this 1975 horror classic, the first ever summer blockbuster. Steven Spielberg's masterful direction keeps you on your toes through the entire movie, strategically hiding the shark until it can make maximum impact. The political themes in this movie of the mayor wanting to keep the beach open in order to protect business above people seems more relevant now more than ever? (Sounds very 2020) So let's dive deep into the waters of Amity…if you dare.

This week I am joined again by Writer/Director Andrew Koltuniuk to discuss Schindler’s List. An adaptation of the real story of Oscar Schindler. A German man who begins as a Nazi member and turns to active resistance against The Final Solution. This ground breaking film brings to life the horrors of the holocaust and is a stark reminder of what happens when we allow hate and blame to fill our hearts. 

A film that should be shown to each and every person, especially given the time we are living in now where there is active propaganda telling us to hate our neighbours. 

We are all one, never again….for anyone.

This is a tough one guys, listen with care.

Thank you for joining me Andrew.

This week, Brian returns to the show to bust some ghosts. We deep dive Ghostbusters the supernatural comedy that proved slime, sarcasm, and proton packs are a perfect mix. We chat Bill Murray’s effortless cool, why this film is an absolute must for halloween and of course hot Sigourney Weaver is way too hot for any of these guys.

Show me the EPISODE!!! This week Craig joins me to deep dive the 90's classic, Jerry Maguire. Released 30 years ago this film is endlessly quotable and was even more fun than I remember. This is a great example of a genre of film that has really dropped off in the last decade that has left a gaping hole in cinema. I think we need to start a petition to bring back the rom-com.

Thank you again Craig for coming on the show.

This week I am joined by Drake from The First Watch Podcast to deep dive Se7en. David Fincher’s 1995 film about a series of murders, all with the same deadly sin calling card. This is truly a disturbing psychological thriller that has grown to be one of the most quotable films of all time. Join us as we find out WHAT’S IN THE BOX.

Float into this week’s episode as we dive into Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with The Martial Arts Film Freak, Tristian. We discuss gravity defying fights, forbidden love, and why flying across bamboo trees somehow feels more real than most action movies. From Michelle Yeoh’s elegance to Zhang Ziyi’s chaotic energy, we celebrate the film that made art-house wuxia a global obsession.
