More serious men, more unpronouncable names! We're discussing Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge. Cool and precise doesn't even begin to describe it.

Must be the moody French atmosphere that's got us so hyper

It seems for Ricardo, the worst crime you can commit is to be a great film, but not a masterpiece....

It's Orla's turn at recommending but what will Ric make of Marjane Satrapi's 2007 film Persepolis? No idea, but he sure talks a lot

Many Abba mentions! And Cinema Paradiso.... and Hope and Glory

It's Muscular Movie Monday!! With Michael Mann's 1986 forgotten classic Manhunter. Orla already has the serial killer genre love, but will this be shoving Zodiac out of the top spot?

Plus, more Herzog impressions!

Today's words are: podcast, head-cold and perfunctory sex

It's another week of subtitles and hard to pronounce names! We're looking at Yorgos Lanthimos' 2009 film Dogtooth. So is he a pervert, a messed up dude, or just trying to start a conversation? All will be revealed.... or at least discussed at length.

Breakfast at Nuremberg anybody?

All props to Ric for managing to get through an hour recording while ill!

How many films can one film reference? Just one of the many questions we debate this week with 2010's Beyond the Black Rainbow

Special guest episode! Starring not one but two Deakins. The charming Felipe brings his insight this week, you may remember him from the film section of Totally Dublin http://totallydublin.ie/film/

Contains a completely relevant Randy Quaid reference

In the middle Ricardo did an Orla (but with less poise) and managed to forget what he was talking about, hence the recall moment at min 38 or so..
