Internally Screening

 This time the chaps discuss the oddly paired Silence of the Lambs and The Sound of Music, two films that seemingly couldn't be further apart in tone and aesthetic. Such is the nature of a spin wheel. The former is one of the all-time great horror-thrillers, a forebear to the likes of Seven and other Fincher-esque works, with two electric performances from Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, both of whom rightly won awards. The Sound of Music also features two incredible performances with incalculable levels of chemistry from the legendary Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, but these are set to the syrupy sweet backdrop of some of the most catchy and well-written musical numbers ever to grace our ears. 

Now that the 95th Oscars have come and gone, it is up to the chaps to determine whether the Academy have given the right awards to the most deserving recipients. Is Everything Everywhere the greatest movie of all time? Is there more than one frame in The Whale? And why didn't India nominate RRR for best international?

The chaps have rekindled the podcast format in order to discuss the Best Picture Oscar winners from years' past. Using the trusty method of the spin wheel, they land upon the classic 60s rom-com, The Apartment, featuring the legendary Jack Lemmon, and the harrowing The Pianist*, with a timeless performance from the severely underrated Adrien Brody.

*NOTE: more knowledgeable listeners than us may be aware that The Pianist did not in fact win Best Picture. I lay all the blame at Rupert's feet for assembling this list and he will be dealt with post-haste. Gotta love starting a Best Picture Podcast and including a film that didn't even win - this is the sort of professionalism you can hope to expect from us going forward.

This week the chaps go into two new films from some of the most exciting directors of the modern generation; Denis Villeneuve's Dune, and Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho. How will one soar so high, while the other stoops so low? We also dive into the final part of Park Chan-wook's iconic vengeance trilogy with Lady Vengeance, a film so completely unhinged that its amazing it hasn't had more recognition.

Another podcast, another couple of bangers. We discuss the much-acclaimed Oscar winner, The Father, and the classic 1962 samurai film, Harakiri.

This week the chaps are joined by Tommy and Jacob (of Tasteless Reviews) to discuss the entire Daniel Craig era of James Bond, exploring each and every film to revisit the highs and lows of this unique era in the Bond canon. 

After an even longer gap, the boys are back to review the classy and quiet double billing of Nomadland and In The Mood For Love.

This time the boys diverge from their usual podcast format to do a feature length tier list, delving deep into the filmography of legendary goth director, Tim Burton. The conversation will surely keep you riveted, even if you can't actually see the list. If by chance, you do want to catch the video version of this review, head on over to our YouTube channel and this and everything else we have to offer.

After a long gap, the boys are back to review the complete and total mess that is Chaos Walking, and to ruminate on the harrowing and bleak WW2 film, Downfall.

This week, the chaps eagerly anticipate the arrival of Zack Snyder's Justice League, analyse the incredibly mixed Malcolm & Marie, and pick apart Joel Schumacher's '93 anti-establishment rager, Falling Down.
