Tangent City

Cecilia leads us down the track of deconstructionism, which takes us on a winding path through parody laws and movie influences.  We also learned a great lesson: don’t stand between Rachele and her chorizo!

We talk background music and the (sometimes underappreciated) people who create it in this episode with Cecilia, Lewis, Rachele and Katherine.

From movies we’ve seen where it’s a one and done, to movies that are just too long to revisit, and let’s not forget the movies that we plain hate and wanted our time back, we chat about movies we’re never watching again.  Word of warning this was a pre-record designed to be played when Kat and Lewis were going to be away. It was done a while ago so we do talk about the corona virus in it’s very early days.  42 may be the answer to the ultimate question, but episode 42 is not the end of our understanding of this virus.

Lewis gives away America’s Arse, Rachele finds her movie journal from 2006 and shares some pearls of wisdom, and we get stuck into some comfort food movies.  Anyone for mac and cheese!?

Turns out Lewis, Rachele and Kat were all raised in front of the TV, so a dip in the pool that was 80s and 90s animation and children’s television was inevitable.

Cecilia, Rachele, Kat and Lewis take a look at women in cinema on this international holiday.  From Cinderella passing the Bechdel test to Deadpool acknowledging this internationally recognised day we manage to have a laugh and get up on our soap boxes.

Tangents happen, people.  Without Cecilia’s guidance, we go completely off track bouncing from zoos to burlesque with a side serving of cricket and swimming.

We continue on from last episode with the second half of the Best Film nominations of the last decade. We’re not sure what the lapsed Catholics talking about va jim jam Christmas says for organised religion, nor our podcast.

With a new decade underway, and the Oscars on their way, we take a look at the last decade of Best Film nominations but not before getting a little hung up on the side effects of some chips.

With some amazing movies being produced bringing the sobering experience of the frontlines to our screens, we thought we'd touch on just some of the movies out there in the war genre.  Oh! And if you need to exorcise the whistle tune ear worm, The Bridge Over the River Kwai is streaming on Amazon Prime.
