Rage Whale

Isa and Sydney, college roomies turned podcast hosts, share their journey of discussing romance, fantasy, and everything in between. Despite now living in different states, their bond remains strong. They dive deep into the world of romantic stories, and you can feel the excitement in their voices as they chat about their favourite books and movies. We talk through the difference between smut and spicy content, healthy relationships and the motives of some storytellers as well as Disney and Happily Ever After.

Our new format: Movie News, followed by Movie Reviews of 2 Horror films and then we vote for which we preferred, ending with a fun fact and a poem by Tales Of The Nook (Drew). This week we have guests Kate & Tarryn who have seen both the films with Kev and have enjoyed jumping out of their skin watching them. We discuss both in detail to decide which films sink or swim.

Michaela shares her journey from a competitive tennis player to a thoughtful media creator. She realised that being constantly online dilutes creativity and authenticity. Instead of chasing likes, she focuses on quality content that resonates with her audience. With a degree in media and communication, she has spent the last year creating insightful reviews that resonate with audiences. We have a fun chat also discussing computer games, James Bond and recent films that have stayed with us.

This was a fun, energetic conversation with a passionate movie reviewer who sees the positive in all films. He is famous for doing the 3 minute review at an engaging, fast pace which keeps you entertained all the way through. We discuss everything from Hamnet to Top Gun and accents, we know you will enjoy this hang.

We talk fondly about the man of the moment with our repeat guests BrokebackCathy & FilmFatale1000. We discuss his difficult and surprising childhood and getting into performing and acting to becoming one of the biggest movie stars on earth (and space) that can do it all. His charisma shines in dramas, action movies and comedies equally making him one of the most universally loved and versatile actor around.

Dallas joins us to talk about some recent movie releases and test us on our Movie Trivia. He has an extensive Movie T-Shirt collection and like Kev is also a fan of Metal and Billie Eilish. We have a serious moment discussing the invasion of ICE upon his city causing devastating results. We discuss the best films of 2026 so far, what were looking forward to and how has visited the cinema the most? Can you guess?

This was a great hang with repeat guests Cathy from Austria & Nicole from LA with a tonne of laughs. First of all wearing awesome Rage Whale T-Shirts! We catch up, then start a quiz that everyone at home can play along with, including a guessing game of which actor is older, which film 2 actors have been in together and using it as a talking point about those actors and their roles.

Enjoy :)

This was a hilarious chat with Kim, a brilliant improv comedian. We discuss her social media videos, her Improve groups and how she got started in the industry. We deviate massively to some random topics from Hot Dogs, Jacob Elordi, pelvic floors, tinsel in hair, Drunk Shakespeare, roller skating, funny place names and getting married to a Canadian comedian. All this and we also discuss movies and try to convince her to do more movie content on her page especially around the recent controversies.
All these topics with appropriately bad language and many laughs.

Kev & Drew go into detail on this exceptional new movie. Spoilers ahead.

Such a fun hang with Jas starting off strong by traumatising Drew for life. We discuss social media and what Jas plans for the future potentially with a great podcast concept and plans to be a filmmaker and document a personal journey. We get into Ari Aster, Horrors, Indie films, intimacy coordinators and large prosthetics. Make sure to follow Jas on Instagram @churchofcinema
