Silver Screen Snobs

NEED FOR SPEED! Does it break the video game-to-movie curse? NO, is the short answer. The slightly longer answer is it's a terrible film. Come hear us explain why! We also look at Alex Gibney's new doco The Armstrong Lie and tear up the headlines of the week's movie news.

Concerned about the lack of wolves AND creeks in Wolf Creek 2? Fear not! We're here to give you the low down on what IS in Australia's latest horror film - and we know where the bodies are buried. Because we watched the film. And saw them. Princess Di's life also gets the celluloid treatment in Diana but fails to be regal in any way and ends up in Dave's Crap Corner.

You probably haven't heard this, but the Oscars happened. Don't worry, we'll fill you in. There were tears, laughter, selfies and Bill Murray. Listen to our scientific analysis here. Cos you can never have too much of rich, beautiful people falling over themselves to congratulate one another. FACT.

Liam Neeson. On a plane. Gets a text saying someone WILL DIE. Every TWENTY MINUTES. If he doesn't wire ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MIIILLION DOLLARS to some guy's account. Is this the best or worst movie idea of the year so far? Not only do we find out but we also talk all things horror with Neil Foley of Monster Pictures.

In a special mid-week episode (and with a slab of beer at stake), we debate who we think should and will win at this year’s Academy Awards.

It's time to BRING THE PAYNE! Alexander Payne's latest Nebraska finally arrives and we take a road trip with the boys. The Robert Redford-on-a-boat movie All Is Lost gets a look in, as does everyone's favourite multi-hyphenate Joseph Gordon Levitt's directorial debut Don Jon. We also find out what stuffy white people enjoyed in 1933 with Best Picture Winner: Cavalcade! You are not alone in never hearing of it. Listen! Stream! Subscribe! www.silverscreensnobs.com

Has the McConaissance peaked? We sign up to the Dallas Buyers Club to find out and discover that Blue, in face of overwhelming evidence, is actually The Warmest Color. Plus, tales of censorship battles in our interview with the Melbourne Underground Film Festival director Richard Wolstencroft.

Is the new Robocop remake the Robocop we need or the Robocop we deserve? Mixed film quotes aside, we also discuss Schwarzenegger and Stallone's Escape Plan plus The Past, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and the tragic passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Steve McQueen's latest finally hits our shores so we debate the merits of 12 Years A Slave. We also take a trip back to the summer of '32 with Best Picture winner Grand Hotel and dissect the week's news.

The Oscar train steams ahead as we watch Leonardo DiCaprio abuse body and soul in Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. We also spend time with Oscar bait August: Osage County and Philomena plus a return to the Crap Corner with Grudge Match.
