March 06, 2023 Lost In America (1985) | "Rat Race Becomes a Hamster Wheel"
Chris reveals his first memories but what's Sam up to while he's off school? Mostly, it's Albert Brook's directorial debut that comes under the microscope as we move to the middle of the 1980s.

February 27, 2023 Repo Man (1984) | "Punk is not dead"
Lots to unpack for Alex Cox's satire of Regan/Thatcher's 80s. Who's more punk - Sam or Chris and what's going on with Chris's neighbour? Great soundtrack chat and a lattice of coincidence. Watch along, follow us on instagram @filmcatchup, email filmcatchup[@]gmail.com
