How many babes does it take to review a Wicked sequel? Turns out four, but only because two of them haven’t seen it yet.

On this very special episode of the Movie Squad podcast, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo are joined by WAM-nominated singer-songwriter Angie Colman (clad in pink and carrying a commemorative Wicked cup) to review Wicked: For Good.

With Simon and Breakfast host Pam Boland not having seen it, Tristan and Wicked superfan (and self-confessed movie-newbie) Angie share their thoughts on the not-very-long awaited final instalment of the Wicked saga, and everyone’s love for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Then, Simon and Tristan review Lurker, the creepy new drama starring Théodore Pellerin as a pop-star-stalker, and Archie Madekwe as the Weeknd-esque target of his affections.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat as Simon and Tristan talk about the Accent: Music and Sound in Australian Cinema Conference, which features a live Movie Squad podcast recording. Find out more and get your tickets here!

The internet’s not big enough for this episode of the Movie Squad podcast, but we’re uploading it anyway!

Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Brekky host Pam Boland to talk a brand new blockbuster (as well as the career prospects of Glen Powell) and the most exciting films playing the Japanese Film Festival, before chatting with Perth Festival‘s Film Curator Madeline Bates ahead of her new season.

First up, it’s all about The Running Man, which sees Edgar Wright rebooting/remaking the Stephen King novel previously adapted into a brawny Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This time around, it’s Glen Powell playing the dystopian death-sport set in the horrifying near-future of (checks notes) 2025!

Then, it’s a deep dive into the Kiyoshi Kurosawa flicks playing the Japanese Film Festival, including The Serpent’s Path, Chime and especially Cloud, the latter of which is about a predatory internet reseller who becomes prey to an online community of people he’s wronged (for reasons big and petty). Check out the screening details for the Japanese Film Festival here, including Tristan’s talk about Chime on Sunday 23 November.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat with Madeline Bates, the Film Curator at Perth Festival, all about the most exciting titles set to premiere at the Somerville Auditorium over the next few months, including It Was Just An Accident, Sirât, The Voice of Hind Rajab, Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, and the Perth-made Birthright. You can take a look at the full program here, ahead of the first film’s debut on 24 November: Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague.

This is one mother of a Movie Squad episode.

Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo once again join Brekky host Pam Boland to tell her about what’s playing in cinemas (this week, it’s films with a maternal edge). But first, Pam shares her thoughts on the Marlon Williams documentary Two Worlds – Ngā Ao E Rua.

Then, Tristan reviews Die My Love, an explosive drama about postpartum depression that sees Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson team up with director Lynne Ramsay.

Simon follows that up with a review of the dread-inducing Dragonfly, part of the 2025 British Film Festival, which stars Brenda Blethyn as an elderly woman being cared for by her odd duck of a neighbour, played by Andrea Riseborough.

Stay tuned for Tristan’s pod-exclusive review of the extremely stressful comedic drama If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, starring Rose Byrne as a mother on the brink and Conan O’Brien as her uncaring therapist. It opens in Australian cinemas next week.

They walk among us, and by ‘they’ we of course mean Movie Squad co-hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo.

After a week apart, Tristan and Simon reunite with Brekky host Pam Boland for two new reviews!

First up, Tristan reviews Bugonia, the latest collaborative freak-out between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone, also starring Jesse Plemons as a conspiracy theorist who kidnaps Stone’s high-powered CEO after suspecting she’s actually an alien.

Then, Simon reviews Sarah Friedland’s delicate and dance-like coming of (old) age movie, Familiar Touch, starring Kathleen Chalfant as an octogenarian woman adjusting to the new routines and rhythms of an elder care facility.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat about Tristan’s Spooktober challenge, and some of the best and scariest movies the Squad watched in the lead-up to Halloween.

It’s spooky season on Movie Squad, and not just because two of the regular presenters have mysteriously gone missing!

With Tristan Fidler behind the desk serving Breakfast, he’s joined by Laura Blundell and Lucy Rutherford to review three new cinema releases.

First up, Lucy takes a look at Guillermo del Toro’s gothic Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac as the good doctor and Jacob Elordi as his unholy creation. It’s now in cinemas before heading to Netflix.

Then, Laura reviews the supernatural mystery Shelby Oaks, about a woman seeking her long-lost sister amid suspicious, maybe demonic circumstances. It’s also now showing in Australian cinemas.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive review of the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation, Regretting You, starring Allison Williams, Dave Franco and Mckenna Grace.

Provocative! Outrageous! Shocking! Melodramatic! Twisted! It’s only another episode of the Movie Squad podcast.

This week, Tristan Fidler reviews Luca Guadagnino’s all-star drama After the Hunt, in which Julia Roberts’ college professor is torn between a promising student (Ayo Edibiri) and the colleague (Andrew Garfield) she accuses of crossing the line.

Then, Simon Miraudo leads a review of James Sweeney’s tonally-surprising and somewhat sinister dramedy Twinless, starring Dylan O’Brien as a man grieving the death of his identical brother, and who meets a kindred spirit (played by Sweeney) at a twinless support group.

Both films are in cinemas (Twinless arrives October 23).

First up, however, in a rare non-twisted segment, Breakfast host Pamela Boland and the Blockbuster Babes pay tribute to the late, great Diane Keaton.

But then stay tuned through to the end for a pod-exclusive chat, as Tristan and Simon interview WA author Patrick Marlborough about the strange stew of films that influenced his comic revenge novel Nock Loose. (Listen to Patrick’s last chat with Pam here.)

In this thrilling, action-packed, muscular episode of the Movie Squad podcast, the films are reviewed, the conversation is crackling and the studio chairs are malfunctioning!

First up, Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler grip the microphones for a white-knuckle discussion of Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite, imagining how a nuclear strike on US soil would play out if Idris Elba was the current President.

It’s now showing in cinemas before heading to streaming services later this year.

Then, Tristan sneaks in a week early to review Roofman, much like its sneaky, roof-dwelling criminal played by Channing Tatum would do in real life!

Plus, Breakfast host Pamela Boland shares her thoughts on the latest trailers for Frankenstein and The Moment.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat where Simon and Tristan dig a little deeper into A House of Dynamite and other movies that imagine a nuclear winter.

The revolution will be podcasted!

On the latest Movie Squad instalment, it’s one review after another—literally—when Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Brekky host Pam Boland.

First up, the Blockbuster Babes give it up to ‘the master’ and take a look at Paul Thomas Anderson’s biggest ever movie, the timely, provocative and highly paranoid Leonardo DiCaprio chase movie One Battle After Another. Is it one of the year’s best movies? Is it one of PTA’s best movies? It’s now showing in cinemas.

Then, Tristan lets us know whether we should swipe right or left on the straight-to-streaming new Tinder/Bumble biopic Swiped, starring Lily James as co-founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. It’s available to stream on Disney+.

Every week, the Movie Squad assemble to review the latest in cinema on Breakfast with Pam Boland, usually offering a sweet bonus for the podcast listeners.

This episode is no exception, as Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo take on two newies from auteurs Kogonada and Spike Lee, as well as a brand new animated film.

First up, Tristan takes a look at Kogonada’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which sees starcrossed Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie embarking on a large, brave, attractive adventure. But does the earnestness of its trailer match Kogonada’s elegiac aesthetic?

Then, Simon leads a review of the latest Spike Lee joint, and his fifth collaboration with Denzel Washington, Highest 2 Lowest, inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s kidnapping-and-class drama High and Low. Does transplanting the story to New York elevate the material?

Stay tuned for an extended pod-exclusive chat about Highest 2 Lowest, plus Simon’s review of The Bad Guys 2, and the benefits of children ‘microdosing peril’ in theatres.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and The Bad Guys 2 are now in Australian cinemas. Highest 2 Lowest is available to stream on Apple TV+.
