Folks on Film is a chat show about parenting and movies. Every episode our hosts, Sam and Sarah, watch a movie with a dad or a mum in it, and then come together with another parent to talk about the film, it's depiction of parenthood, and how that relates to their own experience.

For this episode of the show, first broadcast August 17th, 2025, Sarah was joined in the studio by co-host Sam for a chat about The Castle. Using it's depiction of family as a jumping off point, they chat about family stereotypes in movies, gender authority in the home, and letting kids roam and experience the world.

Don't come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect parents getting real and having a chat.

Come for the chat, stay for the vibe.
