March 09, 2021 Episode 31 - THE BLUES BROTHERS
We’re on a mission from the Movie Gods.
This is somewhat a more personal episode for us at The Movie Calendar. Watching THE BLUES BROTHERS brought back a lot of nostalgia for us both, so much so that Terence would like to dedicate this episode to his father. Thanks Dad.

January 02, 2021 Episode 29 - KILL BILL Vol. 2
What an incredible Director December we have so far at The Movie Calendar where we have sung the praises of one of cinemas most prolific film makers.
Quentin Tarantino got to play with genres, for the making of KILL BILL, that you can tell he has nothing but the upmost respect for. His entry into the kung-fu world left a mark in cinema that is to be respected as much as it is to be celebrated. And that is what we are here to do.
Listen along as we tie a bow on this celebratory month with KILL BILL Vol. 2 and go through it chapter by chapter. We got a little carried away, but are very happy with this episode for you to enjoy.
Happy New Year!

Be sure to subscribe or we will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger!
Jules: “Have you heard of the podcast The Movie Calendar?”
Vincent: “I don’t listen to podcasts”

December 05, 2020 Episode 25 - THE GOONIES
The Movie Calendar never says “die”... except for when we are quoting THE GOONIES. This week we are taking a trip into the 1980’s with an adventure of epic proportions. With names like Donner, Spielberg, Columbus and Kennedy behind the camera it starts to make sense as to why this film is so full of wonder and excitement.
We talk about how perfectly cast this film is from the Goonies themselves to the villains of the story before getting to the regular segments of What About When and adding the film to The Movie Calendar.
Stick around until the end for an exciting December announcement! Or don’t, I’m not your boss.

November 30, 2020 Episode 24 - PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from our family to yours.
In this episode we are adding our first John Hughes film to The Movie Calendar with PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. This 1987 classic holds a warm place in our hearts and we are elated to be able to share it with you.
We get into the characters and discuss whether we are a Del Griffith or a Neal Page, take a deep dive into John Hughes and his legacy as well as celebrate the performance of a lifetime from the irreplaceable John Candy. So pull up a chair, pass the turkey and listen along as we discuss one of the best odd-couple road films of all time. Enjoy.

November 22, 2020 Episode 23 - FIGHT CLUB
We are in the same room for the first time!
The first rule of The Movie Calendar is; you should always talk about The Movie Calendar.
This week we take a look into the masterfully put together and well ahead of its time FIGHT CLUB. With a pitch perfect cast and a script that is as funny as it is clever, the real rock-star on display is here the director. David Fincher shows off a stunning mastery of his craft by keeping a razor-edge balance between chaos and order on screen whilst hiding one of the greatest narrative twists ever to unfold in cinema history.
Listen along as discuss the characters, writing, cinematography, direction and more. With a few tangents and laughs along the way.
