The Last One To See

OK, so this may not be a title that rings familiar to a lot of folks. But hear us out! The Last One To See wasn’t conceived with the idea that everyone everyone has seen each of the selections, and Sarah very much understood the assignment (and Alan willingly agreed to go along with it) with the selection of BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER - a queer classic and rare entry in the lesbian teen movie genre that saw a 20th anniversary re-release in 2020.

As mentioned, Alan and Sarah are our guests this week and you may know their work from the fantastic Juvenalia podcast.

Fresh off Macron’s electoral victory, it couldn’t be a more fitting week for our francophile episode where we are joined by author, prolific tweeter and Letterboxd logger extraordinaire, Cethan Leahy, who is the last one to see a movie that neither Kate nor David could remember the fine details of prior to a rewatch - AMÉLIE (or if you wanna drop the pretentious full title ‘Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain’).

Coming to you a little bit later than originally promised (blame the life admin and post-Oscar season fatigue), we’re back with a live one! An all singing, all dancing, all freakin’ weird extravaganza was finally experience by our guest, Andrea Horan who was the last one to see THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!

Kate and David talk the TV they’re watching during a spell where films have taken a back seat before our guest joins in to talk experiential cinema, drag, going out after hermiting for too long, respecting JLo’s cinematic arc, those musical remakes that were happening on Fox in the US a few years ago and of course the unpredictable chaos of this movie musical event experience.

Our hot-take coming in a bit lukewarm; we recorded this the day after the Oscars ceremony but the edit took a little longer than expected - apologies!

In the throes of Oscars week, we’re dropping a very on-theme episode, full of chats about this year’s awards, sandwiching a conversation with a man who Glenn Close may not know is her greatest publicist campaigning for her to eventually nab that Best Actress gong - it’s Mark O’Donovan (formerly @dublin_zoetrope, now @mrmarkodonovan) and he is the last one to see SOME LIKE IT HOT.

David and Kate convened the day after the 2022 BAFTA ceremony.

While they hadn’t attended in person (not this year at least… *hint hint BAFTA invite person*), they shared some thoughts on the results.

Before diving into that, and the turbulent story arc of Jane Campion this past awards season weekend, David gives a rundown of the ten films he got to at this year’s Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival.

Here’s his watchlist: https://letterboxd.com/davidpfitz/list/my-vmdiff-2022-watchlist/

To close, here’s your SPOILER WARNING for The Batman as Kate shares her thoughts after getting to see it last week.

In this week’s episode, Jenn Gannon finally found out what was written in THE NOTEBOOK, as the last one to see the 2004 Nick Cassavetes romance that was screened at many a teen girl sleepover of yesteryear. We find out that Ryan Gosling has chicken soup face, discuss what could have been if Britney had been cast in the role, the manic pixie dream boy of it all, why so many scenes felt like watching Seventh Heaven, and a story about Kate’s grandparents that’ll tug on your heartstrings if the movie failed to.

In this week’s episode, music is front and centre as our guest, musician, songwriter, podcaster and deadly human, Senita Appiakorang, is the last one to see ALMOST FAMOUS.

We catch up on the dents Kate and David have made on the award season (and not so awards season) watchlist, talk 70s fashion, groupie culture, what the music world is like now vs when the film was made vs when the film was set, fan/celebrity access, the incredible cast, the role of music journalism and Frances McDormand’s assertion as her character, Elaine Miller, that Simon and Arfunkel’s eyes on the cover of Bookends are a giveaway that they’re stoned.

In this week’s episode, we faced off against the longest, oldest and most-linguistically-challenging-for-this-trio-of-english-speakers films that has been picked by one of our guests so far.

Physical media vs streaming? Dubbed or subbed? Cinema or home viewing? We debate all the options, notalgise over the curatorial eye of TV movie schedulers of yesteryear and come to understand just how much some of the biggest names in Hollywood drew from the work of Kurosawa in this episode with guest, Aoife Martin, who is the last one to see SEVEN SAMURAI.
