Our Christmas special! We dedicate our time to exploring the best not Christmas films to watch at Christmas, the quintessential experience that do not feature a tree or a santa or a mince pie. We also take some time to explore some AI generated alternative podcast titles, just to settle the mood

Today we feature requests from a special guest, the immaculate comedian with a knowledge of film Chris Thorburn, adapted slightly and expanded. We go on for a while about high school movies and films that are kind of pinocchio vibed. Meaty!

Bookended with some heavy films, we kick off with Tearjerks, navigate the topic of cartoon/live-action crossovers, and then delve into the mailbag for some films not like films, and films where nothing really happens for 9 hours

This week we work through ‘Movies where someone sits down and watches a movie’, ‘Movies that are seen in other movies that we should see’, as well as Films that the 8 Billionth Baby Should See (before they die?). A good one, if I say so myself.

Still searching for a theme tune, we unpack the difficult ‘comedy commentators’ category, enjoy a leisurely stroll through a much loved TV sitcom as we define ‘Films referenced in FRIENDS’, and finally we delve into our past with an audience suggestion ‘ Films we thought were great when we were 7 and 17’.

This week, we explore films with Frank Sinatra films in them (but not Frank Sinatra films) and films where women are a weapon (but more nuanced than that).

Featuring Marianne MacRae and Richard Hanrahan, the married sketch duo unleash their movie madness onto the world.

What are we doing? From podcast to published in 24 hours, the Me3 gang return to podcasts with a new format - our mini film festival ideas.
