This week Conor and Luke discuss bad bets with Cheap Thrills, Gutshot Straight and 13 Sins. Table time features a lengthy discussion of Daniel Bedingfield (and his sister). Listen and enjoy!
Conor is back and he’s not a diamond geezer but he is in London, England. This week Luke and Conor look at NIGHTCRAWLER, THE RIOT CLUB and INTERSTELLAR. It’s a big show, enjoy it!
Morgan McBride joins Luke in an extended Table Time discussion of TWIN PEAKS, THE EVIL WITHIN, BOJACK HORSEMAN, THE AFFAIR, BOB’S BURGERS, WORLD’S GREATEST DAD and more… Enjoy dear listener.
Luke Maxwell and Eoin Dowling raise anchor and head out to sea in the latest episode of The Movie Express. This time we discuss All is Lost and Deep Water. Turns out the sea is a frightening and fascinating place.
Conor is back in an all new episode of The Movie Express. This time Luke talks The Guest, Conor gushes about Land Ho and we weigh up The Princess Bride against My Dinner With Andre. Also on the table this week Lord Love a Duck and RuPual’s Drag Race. We’d also like to give a big shout-out to the guys at Simply Unemployable; they’re funny guys.
Conor’s away chasing the sun but Luke and his pal Jake have you covered. Join them for a lengthy discussion of cult favourite, The Room. Also featured: The Exotic Time Machine, Doctor Who, The X-Files, Mortal Kombat, Sin City 2 and more.
It’s a minicast, you know, a minicast! Join Luke as he reviews an adaptation of a video game and an adaptation of a novel. One of them has Aaron Paul in it, the other one is set in Scotland. They both have cars in ’em.
Luke takes a look at Akiva Goldsman’s adaptation of Mark Helprin’s classic fantasy novel, A Winter’s Tale. This feature starring Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Will Smith and Jessica Brown Findlay tells a century-spanning story of thievery and celestial conflict. It’s nutso.
Cheerfully Inaccurate: Luke refers to Jessica Brown Findlay by another name that he misread and sounds nothing like her name!
We’re very excited this week to be talking about one of our favourite films starring one of our favourite actors, The Jerk, starring that wild and crazy guy, Steve Martin! The Jerk is a wonderfully smart “dumb” movie about a man making his way in the world, finding adventure, love and fortune along the way. For this week’s Table Time we talk about The Wrestler and the documentary, Seeking Asian Female.
In this, the first of many specials, Conor and Luke discuss something that bothers us all, day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month and year-to-year. We’re talking of course, about Robots. From androids, to cyborgs, to Pet Man and Big Dog, we run the gambit of cybernetic scaries. Listen, worry and enjoy.
The Fifth of our Film Noir Specials brings us to the twilight years of the “classical” noir cycle with, Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil (1958). We also feature Hitchcock’s Psycho, which in many respects is a response to the technical excellence seen in Touch of Evil.
