Filmageddon
Society has crumbled. All there is left to do is quiz! Frank Soldato is the diabolical host of the monthly film quiz ‘FILMAGEDDON’, the podcast version of London’s biggest film quiz. Test your knowledge along with his regular team captains as they battle through hundreds of films they don’t know the title of and actors they confuse for other actors.
150 - Presidents in Movies
"I will not concede!" - the cries of a sad, bloated, racist narcissist  jabroni hell-bent on lining his own pockets and the pockets of his backers before he is sent packing. Trump is on his way out, proving once again Filmageddon can out-live a presidency. Four more years? Perish the thought of still typing these episode descriptions out well in to my mid 30's upsets me. But there are a lot of iconic Presidents throughout cinematic history. Is Boss Nass a President? What makes a good President (in film)? The Filmageddon team this week discuss. President Frank Soldato. Prime Minister Luke Ibbetson. Chancellor Adam Grundy. We're doing a live quiz on December 2nd 2020. It's a massive end-of-year thing, and you will have fun - or else we're gonna have to get creative with your death. Join us at 8pm 2nd December http://www.twitch.tv/filmageddon

149 - Luke Ibbetson (Cult)
Quizmaster Frank is dead...set on you having a good time! Absent this week, Film Friend and occasional Rocket League troll Adam Grundy steps in to hold the fort. This week, we're speaking with Writer/Director Luke Ibbetson on the release of his first feature film 'Cult', which is available for free on Amazon Prime! Luke talks us through what it was like to self-fund his debut feature, the creative process from page to screen, and what it was like to work and live in such intimate proximity to his cast and crew. Massive thanks to Luke for speaking with us. Make sure you spread the word of Cult, and a free kiss on the face (after Covid) for anyone who spots all the Filmageddon cameos in Cult (eyes peeled!).

148 - Borat 2 (A Spoiler Episode Full of Bad Borat Impressions and Discussion of Rudy Giuliani's Pecker)
Jagshemash, his name is Borat, and 14 years after Sacha Baron Cohen first brought the deranged character to the big screen, Kazakhstan's number 4 reporter returns to...a smaller screen on Amazon Prime. The Filmageddon crew get into it with this SPOILER-laden episode. Very nice. My wife. You like?

146 - Rob Savage
This week, the Filmageddon crew embrace the spooky season. They are joined (virtually!) by Rob Savage, director of 2020's most talked about movie 'Host', as well as a plethora of illuminating shorts and more. We had the chance to ask Rob about what it's like working with such a close and creative team on films like 'Host' (out now on Shudder), how shorts like 'Dawn of the Deaf' and 'Salt' stand alone, and yet may also offer us a glimpse of things to come for him and his future projects. Rob also reveals how the amazing team behind Host all took part in our weekly quizzes as 'Swayze's Babies', which blew our little minds. A huge thank you to Rob for taking the time to talk to us. We're very humbled, and can't wait to see what him and his team do next. Did you like watching Host at home? Well, The Prince Charles Cinema will be screening Host in the best cinema in London over a couple of upcoming dates. Some sell outs, but if you want to maybe catch a Q&A with Rob and the team, they are super-nice and you can check availability on the PCC website (https://princecharlescinema.com/PrinceCharlesCinema.dll/WhatsOn?f=17216674) If you like watching Host at home but instead of actors and narrative, but still retaining HORROR and MADNESS then keep yourself free for our upcoming HALLOWEEN QUIZ live on http://www.Twitch.tv/Filmageddon on 21st October at 8pm UK. Fans of Host might really like this one... If you fancy seeing anything we spoke about on the episode, Rob has got it all on his website http://www.Rob-Saavge.co.uk

145 - #Alive (#살아있다)
BLEEEEUUUGH!! That's the sound a zombie makes. It's international, much like the Filmageddon crew, who are back together discussing Netflix's new Korean zombie horror film #Alive. Look past the hashtag in the name and you'll find a little gem. The crew fully dive in discussing what works, the differences between Western and Asian approaches to the zombie/horror genre, as well as the odd back-story behind this and the upcoming film #Alone. Alive. Alone. Alone. Alive. Very confusing - but stick with us and we'll guide ya to safety (unless...have you been bitten!?). If you miss quizzing very much, we've teamed up with the Mile High Horror Film Festival (http://www.mhhff.com) to bring you a horror film quiz on Friday 2nd October. It'll be like, midnight in the UK - but if you're round and up for it - come play. The Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/620042252207610

144 - Kyle Chase - Crying Out Loud
Something very special this week - the Filmageddon Crew sat down with writer and director Kyle Chase to discuss his new web-series 'Crying Out Loud' - a 17-part epic that plays out over one fateful night in London. Crying Out Loud begins Monday 21st September on their Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnGs5YXeSZBjagf-A4Lr1Ig/featured "Crying Out Loud follows two friends on a long night of hell as they desperately attempt to find a very important lost cat... Starring Tom Wells (Eastenders, Bancroft, 6 Underground) & Edward Cole (Cult, Middle Child Theatre)" Kyle joined us to talk about the process of writing, directing, and financing your first web series. We talk about the creative process and the determination one must possess when tackling such a mammoth-sized project. Kyle also answered some odder questions, such as 'is Phil Collins a Lost Boy in #Hook?' and 'Which Pokemon would you [REDACTED]?'. It's a lovely chat and a first for us - so if you could show Kyle your support we would love it.  Check out the trailer for the series here: https://youtu.be/X6XKsKKdVgM. Make sure you subscribe!

143 - Project Power
An odd one this week (we explain at the start), but we're looking at the Netflix powder keg of crap 'Project Power'. Jamie Foxx leads the charge, along with cameos from some of Hollywood's big hitters 'Machine-gun Kelly' and Casey Neistat from Youtube. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe you should stop drinking before work then. We're talking some truly WTF moments including: what the deal was with the 'powers'? Why the soundtrack? And of course, which Youtuber would you like to see fight to the death? Play along at home! THERE'S ALSO SOME RAPPING FROM A CERTAIN HOST. Have fun with that one xox. #projectpower #netflix #jamiefoxx #caseyneistat #machinegunkelly #whatacast

142 - I'm Thinking of Ending Things (With Spree)
HIGH ENERGY is pouring out of the veins of our three heroes this week. We're chatting Charlie Kaufman's newest mind-f*ck #ImThinkingOfEndingThings, as well as the controversial Joe Leery-led #Spree. Bit of a mixed bag, right? Well there's also chance to talk a nearly decade-old #Moneyball as well as hearing two idiots explain how they don't truly understand baseball to a man who clearly does, but has the patience to listen. And may you too have the patience to hear about a Charlie Kaufman film that sounds like a load of b*llocks.

141 - Bill and Ted Face The New Mutants
Coming to you LIVE (recorded) from a hotel room in New York City  and a tiny studio in Bangkok, the Filmageddon team talk all about #BillAndTedFaceTheMusic and of course, the always delayed but the "they actually released it?" movie #TheNewMutants, the newest and last edition to the 20th Century X-Men series. Boy, bye! Frank and Adam talk about what it's like to get back on a plane after so long, the weird hoops you have to jump through, as well as their shared hatred for the term 'British Holidaymaker'. Eurgh. Every man woman and child is reviewing Tenet this week - so here's something a little different! We're also on Youtube if you fancy throwing a Subscribe and some thumbs up our way. Always appreciated in times like this: http://www.youtube.com/Filmageddon
