This week, Finn & Uther watch John Ford's 'The Searchers' (1956), a western Uther strongly argues shouldn't be in the BFI Top Ten, and, S. Craig Zahler's 'Bone Tomahawk' (2015), a western Finn repeatedly implies should take its place.

This week, Finn & Uther watched 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' (1928) and 'Witchfinder General' (1968), career-best performances from two of the greats: Maria Falconetti (? I hardly know 'er Falconetti) and Vincent Price (in THIS economy?).

To celebrate 100 episodes, here is the first instalment of a new sub-series: Film's Filmvourite Films. Finn introduces Uther to the decadent, despairing directorial work of acid-camp maestro Herbert Ross. First up is 'The Last of Sheila' (1973), Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkin's poison pen murder-mystery-of-manners to Hollywood. And then on to: 'Pennies from Heaven' (1981), Dennis Potter's brutal musical portrait of toxic masculinity. As portrayed by Steve Martin.
