Shot/Reverse Shot

As promised last time around, Joe and Ed descended on Sheffield DocFest, armed with nought but a pair of mics and a quest for the truth. They talk about the films, the events, the masterclasses and the parties that made DocFest's 20th anniversary so very special. Amongst all that important stuff, this episode includes the search for a mythical free breakfast and a disastrous, drunken attempt to interview someone on a dancefloor.

Thanks to Tom Grater, Martin Parsons and Ralph Mackinder for additional waffle.

This week's Top Ten list sees Ed and Joe getting giddy about the coming attractions of the Sheffield International Documentary Festival, which celebrates it's 20th Anniversary this year. With both Ed and Joe in attendance this year, the boys run down the ten films, events and parties that they are most excited about.

During the festival itself - which runs from 12-16 June 2013 - you can follow Ed and Joe's exploits on Twitter, finding them on that social network at @ejrdavies and @thewoodenkimono respectively.

As usual, listen, enjoy, rate and review!

It's little over a week since 15 brand new episodes of the resurrected Arrested Development landed and Joe and Ed have watched them all (twice) to see if they're safe for general consumption. Does the highly anticipated return of the Bluth Family meet their expectations? Have a listen and find out.

WARNING: Contains mild disagreement.

So, yeah, that Dan Harmon eh? Never coming back to Community is he?

Now follows Joe & Ed's climbdown on their previous assertion that the - now returning - ex showrunner would never return.

After receiving reams of angry network notes, the boys have decided to separate the top ten lists that usually end each episode into their own standalone show. For the very first of these episodes, Joe & Ed fire off  list of 10 superb TV Show Adaptations. Some are films adapted from TV shows, some are TV shows adapted from films. One is actually a TV show adapted from a TV show. Mind boggling.

Being able to focus on the list on it's own unfortunately does not mean the boys are actually any more focused. During this episode, Ed dumbfounds Joe with details of the upcoming LEGO movie, the pair imagine a disgustingly profane alternative to The Avengers and Joe reveals what his confused, 11 year old self made of Twin Peaks when it aired first time around.

As per usual, listen, enjoy, rate and review!

This week, Joe and Ed run the rule over the very latest season of NBC's Community, a show that against all odds has found itself being renewed for an incredibly unlikely fifth season. The boys assess what impact the departure of creator Dan Harmon had on the show, talk about season four's various highs and lows and also ponder what the future holds for the students of Greendale.

As usual, listen, enjoy, rate and review!

After it's wildly popular appearance as a segment in the 2013 Preview episode, Michael BayWatch returns as a standalone episode, in which Joe and Ed raise awareness of the threat posed to the public by Pain & Gain. Part review, part public safety announcement.

Stay Vigilant. Stay safe.

To mark this year's IDFest in Derby, Joe and Ed have a look at the Family unit on screen. They run down the fine selection of films screening at this year's festival, talk about why directors such as Wes Anderson and Steven Spielberg are drawn to dysfunctional families, discuss the surrogate family units of Boogie Nights and Near Dark and then run down their top ten film families.

They keep it light, with cannibalism, incest and necrophilia only taking up a fraction of this episode's running time.

In the first of an ambitious, multi -podcast series exploring the ages of man, Joe and Ed start - appropriately enough - with Childhood. They discuss what drew them to film as kids, talk about depictions of childhood on film and the difficulties encountered when working with child actors, before running down a top ten of the very best child performances on film.

Predictably enough, there are some tangents. 6 months on, Joe still can't work out what he thinks of Beasts of the Southern Wild, whilst Ed reveals a deep rooted fear of being eaten by a rhinoceros.

As always, listen, enjoy, rate and review!

We thought it'd be remiss of us not to say a few words about the late, great Roger Ebert, who sadly passed away last week.
