October 12, 2020 Scene 11: "A man in a white coat opens the gates..." (Silence of the Lambs, Guest Sean Gallagher)
In Episode 11 of My Movie Minute Charlie & Mark Welcome their first Guest! Friend of the podcast, Sean Gallagher, brings in his own Movie Minute, a 60 second clip from a movie he loves, whilst Charlie and Mark quiz him on why he chose it and what it means to him. Sean chooses and absolute corker!
Sean typically co-hosts with Mark on podcast called "No I in Podcast", a podcast about Teams - for anyone who’s in a team, runs a team or wants to make a team work better. Find out more about the "No I in Podcast" here http://noipodcast.show/ or follow them on Instagram @noipodcast.
Sean's unsettling "Movie Minute" comes from a well known and critically acclaimed movie, with a couple of award winning central performances. There are interesting discussions about heroes vs villains, and how a film can build up the expectation of a character which can lead to a more interesting reveal.
Sensitive listeners or those listening with young people should skip forward 30 seconds when you get to 6:30, as there is an explicit word in the form of a "c-bomb"!
I hope you enjoy listening to My Movie Minute's first guest, whose movie minute begins when a man in a white coat opens the gates...

October 05, 2020 Scene 10: "We start with a first person view of a plate, napkin and cutlery..." (Being John Malkovich)
We are back in the recording studio for My Movie Minute this week, the podcast in which Mark and Charlie take turns to find 60 seconds from a movie they love to talk about. Following a whatsapp chat and instagram post, Charlie shares some interesting listener feedback about "Quintrilogies" or "Pentologies" to try and convince Mark that there is a series of exactly 5 films out there that isn't terrible!
Moving onto the clip, Charlie picks a scene that is both iconic and unsettling in equal measures. In the "no names" description, this week's clip is a particularly tough one to get through without any spoilers! The description and clip will be baffling to anyone who hasn't seen this movie, that's for sure!
During the main chat, directors Christopher Nolan and Charlie Kauffman (specifically the new Netflix movie "I'm thinking of ending things") are all discussed - and towards the end of the postcast there there is a little bit of Nicholas Cage chat for good measure! Watch out for future episode, because Cage is bound to turn up at some point again!
Hope you can join us this week to luxuriate in the weirdness that begins with a first person view of a plate, napkin & cutlery...

September 28, 2020 Scene 9: "Blue electric sparks fly from the machine" (Superman 3)
Welcome to Series 2 of My Movie Minute. After a short Bonus episode and a 1 week break, Mark and Charlie are back (with a new theme tune) to dissect a 60 second scene from a movie that has resonated with them.
This week, Charlie and Mark are excited to be recording in a 'legit' recording studio (although they aren't really using any of the knobs and cables - it's all for show!). During the intro, Mark has some unfinished business from the Bonus Episode, having realised during the edit that Charlie had pulled a 'bait and switch' by downgrading one of his films unfairly when ranking them! I don't think we have heard the end of this disagreement somehow.
This week's clip is chosen by Mark, and we fly back to the 80s for the third instalment in a popular franchise. Can you guess it from the "no names" description that Mark gives at the start? Charlie thinks this might be one of the toughest ones to guess so far.
This week's clip starts when blue sparks fly from the machine...

September 14, 2020 Series 1 Ranked! (aka DVD Special Edition Bonus Material)
In this short episode, Charlie ranks the 8 "Movie Minutes" from Series 1 of the podcast. His criteria for the ranking these minutes is "the extent to which they cause the emotion they are designed to cause when watched in isolation".
It is then over to Mark to decide whether Charlie's rank is accurate, or a load of rubbish - because what are rankings for other than to be disagreed with!
This episode works best having listened to episode 1-8, so if you're new to the podcast, I suggest you listen to series 1 first.
Whilst waiting for Series 2 to drop, we would love to hear about your own "Movie Minutes", so please get in touch with us on Instagram @mymovieminute

September 07, 2020 Scene 8: "A group of well dressed school children enter a classroom..." (School of Rock)
Welcome to this, the 8th & final episode for series 1 of the My Movie Minute podcast. Each week we challenge you, the listeners, to guess the movie we will be talking about from the episode title, the no names description during the episode and of course some clues and red herrings left here in the show notes and on instagram and twitter @mymovieminute.
In this episode, Mark and Charlie chat a little about their work as teachers, about returning to work after the Covid-19 lockdown and how their jobs link in to this week’s movie minute (that’s a big clue for you, right there!).
In order to give you some more clues to help you guess which movie Mark & Charlie are talking about, we like to list a few of the other movies referenced in the episode here in the show notes. This week they end up mentioning or referencing Punch Drunk Love, High Fidelity, Mrs Doubtfire & Matilda.
So, have you guessed it yet? Lets see if you’re right by diving into Mark & Charlie’s 8th Movie Minute, which begins when a group of well dressed school children enter a classroom…

August 31, 2020 Scene 7: "A young woman puts a car into gear..." (Drag Me to Hell)
A very special episode for Mark and Charlie this week, as it is the first episode they have recorded in the same room... Mark’s makeshift podcast studio! To celebrate, Charlie wears one of his favourite movie themed t-shirts, which links in nicely with Mark’s Movie Minute this week.
During listener feedback, Charlie reads out three “near misses” from listeners who have made excellent incorrect guesses for some of the movies discussed in previous episodes based on the podcast’s titles.
Mark’s movie minute this week causes a mix of emotions, all at the same time. Try not to be too grossed out from his description! As always, we won’t give away the title of the main film in the notes so you have a chance to guess, but if you want some clues… Charlie & Mark end up mentioning the likes of “Spiderman”, “Thinner” and an iconic cult horror trilogy.
In this episode, Mark also talks a little about “No I in Podcast”, Mark’s other podcast within his “podcast network”. If you are interested in checking it out, go to http://noipodcast.show
We hope you enjoy this week's Movie Minute, which starts when a young woman puts a car into gear...

August 24, 2020 Scene 6: "We are driving down a quiet country lane..." (Children of Men)
Mark and Charlie continue their journey though cinema by chatting about a minute from a movie they love. This week, they leave the warm nostalgia of the 90s and move into bleaker territory. Charlie makes a bold claim, saying the clip he has chosen to discuss this week may be the greatest minute of cinema when looked at objectively.
As well as discussing the movie minute in question, you will be treated to Mark’s Brian Blessed impression! On the periphery Charlie and Mark also mention “Lord of the Rings”, "Mad Max: Fury Road", “Gravity”, “Deep Blue Sea”, “Blindness” and Charlie makes a bold claim about what he considers to be the best Harry Potter movie!
There is a trigger warning at the start of this episode, as the clip itself contains swearing and a gunshot, but if you wish to skip this part of the episode you will be given a 1 minute warning!
I hope you enjoy our analysis of Scene 6 which begins with us driving down a quiet country lane.
PS. The YouTube "making of" clip that Charlie mentions during the podcast can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJprbCuWdHo

August 16, 2020 Scene 5: "A man stops singing..." (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
In the "My Movie Minute" podcast, hosts Mark & Charlie chat about moments from the movies that they love, with the restriction that they must be 1 minute or less in length.
This week's episode starts off with some Bond chat, with some discussions around Mark & Charlie’s favourite minute from a Bond movie. If you have a favourite minute of a Bond film, please let them know about it @mymovieminute on instagram or twitter.
Mark’s choice for the main discussion this week confuses Charlie somewhat - is it a twisted psychological horror movie, a beloved kids film or all of the above? As always, you can try and guess the movie from Mark’s description, so we won’t give it away here .
But, if you want some clues by association… during the chat Mark and Charlie also mention “Edward Scissorhands”, “Spy Kids”, the ITV edited version of "Ghostbusters" and the director Wes Anderson.
Got it yet? Lets find out what happens next when a man stops singing…

August 10, 2020 Scene 4: "The sun rises on the horizon..." (The Lion King)
In the "My Movie Minute" podcast, Charlie and Mark choose scenes which are no more than one minute in length from the movies that they love to analyse and reminisce over.
This week, it is another early 90s nostalgia-fest with Charlie choosing to talk about a scene from one of his favourite childhood movies. They discuss remakes, movies made "for everyone", powerful openings and VHS collections. On the periphery, this week's chat briefly mentions movies such as "I Lost My Body", "West Side Story", "Psycho", "The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas" and "Toy Story" - but non of these are the main event.
This week's movie minute starts at dawn, with the sun rising on the horizon...

August 03, 2020 Scene 3: "A man with a gun crouches in a doorway..." (Point Break)
Mark and Charlie remain in the early 90s, but they switch genre for this week's episode. As always, at the start of the podcast they describe a scene of 1 minute or less and you can try and guess which film they are talking about. During their chat they briefly discuss Hot Fuzz, Ghost, 127 Hours and Speed, but non of these movies are the main event! What links these four movies? As the scene begins, a man with a gun crouches in a doorway...
