In anticipation of Gladiator 2 starring the one and only Paul Mescal, we delve into two varied Ridley Scott classics. The original GLADIATOR and BLADE RUNNER, two epic flawed projects that share little more than their ambition. As always, we also start off with what we've been watching lately, and end up disagreeing on the latest Quiet Place movie. In true Ridley Scott fashion, this episode runs a little long so we hope you enjoy!

From the fly on the wall style HONEYLAND to Agnes Varda's seminal self-reflexive documentary THE GLEANERS AND I, we talk documentaries this month. Plus some musings on the Hunger Games franchise, Challengers, and Netflix series Ripley at the top of the show.

Hello to all of you fine pheasants, we're back with another episode exploring the various sub-genres within the crime / mystery film. We tackle Howard Hawks' classic 1946 film noir THE BIG SLEEP and a more recent Spanish twisty crime thriller THE BODY (El cuerpo). We also dig into Josh O'Connor's presence in a pair of new cinema releases and tease some future episode ideas at the end!

Join us as we don't see eye to eye on Wong Kar-wai's masterpiece IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE and delightfully pair it with British romcom classic NOTTING HILL. A Criterion collection gem and a Richard Curtis flick, what better couple of romance films could you want?

This show we finally cover a Pedro Almodóvar film, BAD EDUCATION, and pair it rather bizarrely with the 1990s studio comedy BOWFINGER. Two movies about movies and the making of them but also so much more. Listen in for that and of course a little talk about the Oscar nominations too.

Happy New Year and Feliz Navidad. Our Christmas episode this year is dropping on the Day of the Kings in Spain as one of of our films this month is Spanish through and through, the other is an American classic. See what we make of both them and share our holiday traditions in this month's episode.

This week we tackle book adaptations to screen through the John Steinbeck / James Dean classic EAST OF EDEN and the forgotten 90s drama MAMBO KINGS, which features a young Antonio Banderas and a fantastic soundtrack. Tune in to hear our first major disagreement on the pod!

Celebrate Halloween week by listening to our conversation about spooky scary movies SCREAM and TIMECRIMES. We also discuss Dan's experience at London Film Festival and talk Killers of the Flower Moon.

In this, our sophomore episode, we tackle two films from director Guillermo Del Toro. From very different sides of his filmography comes CRONOS and THE SHAPE OF THE WATER. We also have a nice catch up with some brief thoughts on Oppenheimer and a teaser for next months theme.

For the inaugural episode, Dan and Bradley discuss the travel film double bill of Little Miss Sunshine and Y Tu Mamá También.
