This week: [Boyhood, 2014, Richard Linklater] Much bally-hooed by the professional critical establishment, Linklater's unconventionally-produced coming-of-age drama now falls under the gimlet eye of the amateur critical establishment, as represented by, er, us. [Rocky, 1976, John Avildsen] I had a cat named Rocky. He died. Sorry to bring the mood d…

This week: [Obvious Child, 2014, Gillian Robespierre] A romantic comedy about abortion?! Those godless New York liberals have done it again. This, friends, is what feminism hath wrought. [Prince Avalanche, 2013, David Gordon Green] Drinking, swearing, casual sex. Is nothing sacred? Certainly not in this outrageous piece of left-wing propaganda star…

This week's fillums: [Force Majeure, 2014, Ruben Östlund] A skiing holiday with two young children sounds like a nightmare; add an avalanche, an act of cowardice, and a fracturing marriage and you've got two hours of squirm-inducing cinema. The perfect date film, in other words. [The Last Days of Disco, 1998, Whit Stillman] Classic, underseen comed…

This week we're all about vampires! Campy, flappy, and in at least one case crappy vampires! [Let the Right One In, 2008, Tomas Alfredson] Grim goings-on in a grim suburb of Grimburg, Sweden. A bullied young boy befriends a strange young girl, while a series of brutal murders shake the community. Also it's the 80s, for no real reason. [Bram Stoker'…

Films discussed on this week's episode: [Ida, 2013, Pawel Pawlikowski] A novice nun and her alcoholic aunt travel through the Polish countryside in search of the remains of the nun's parents, who were murdered during WW2. All this film needs is Mickey Rooney and "a big dubble-ya" and it'd be perfect. [These Final Hours, 2013, Zak Hilditch] What wou…

Lucky episode thirteen! Recorded on location under a ladder. This week's films: [The Giver, 2014, Phillip Noyce] The long-awaited adaptation of Lois Lowry's Newberry-winning novel proves to be a let down, and in fact you'd be better off just listening to the Radiohead song 'Let Down', once you've listened to the podcast, obv. [Once Upon a Time in A…

A special punk week because your Mom and Pop requested it last night in bed. I mean honestly fuck you. The films: [We Are the Best!, 2013, Lukas Moodysson] Teenage Swedish punks rage against meatballs, flat-packed furniture, and other Nordic cliches, actually I'm just being an idiot it's really good. [Hard Core Logo, 1996, Bruce McDonald] That rare…

This week's sources of fun and frivolity: [The Sacrament, 2013, Ti West] Does found-footage/mockumentary horror have a future? Perhaps not if Ti West's uninspiring Jonestown riff is anything to go by. Luckily, Anna spices things up by telling us about the time she lead a crazed cult dedicated to the worship of a discarded mandarin peal resembling f…

Episode 10! What a milestone. And like the mad scientist in The Human Centipede, we're celebrating with an extra segment. All Is Lost (2013, J.C. Chandor) Robert Redford in all his craggy glory plays a yachtsman contending with errant shipping containers, wild storms, and the kind of mast problems that are bound to affect a man of his vintage. Manh…

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a... Oh, hello. Didn't see you there. Ahem. This week's films: Into the Woods (2014, Rob Marshall) Podcasting can happen in the woooooooooods. We review the recently-released adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's revered musical, which Anna loves and wants to make out with behind the shelter sheds. Welcome to t…

As the ancient prophecy foretold, we have returned to destroy the world/discuss the following films: Frank (2014, Lenny Abrahamson) Co-written by everybody's favourite weirdo-conduit, Jon Ronson, Frank is about music and ambition and madness and hiding your true self behind a big ol' prosthetic head. We've all been there, although in my case it was…

It's raining religious nutters - and regular rain - in this week's episode. Pack a brolly. Noah (2014, Darren Aronofsky) Our spirit animal returns! Russell Crowe is Noah; some other people are some other people; all of them are very wet. Noah is the Aronofsky Biblical fantasy saga we've all been waiting for, or at least the one we got. Rashomon (19…

Happy new year! Here, have a podcast. First in a series of school holiday episodes recorded with a teenager in the next room, shaking her head at the idiot adults and their funny little internet radio show. This week: Starred Up (2013, David McKenzie) Shit goes down - and on at least one character's forehead - in this grim, gripping British prison …

It's Christmas, or at least it was, but let's not talk about that. This week's fillums: The Wind Rises (2014, Hayao Miyazaki) Miyazaki's final (or is it?) film. This one's about planes, this time with human, rather than porcine, pilots. Not as potentially delicious, but we're not here for the eats. The Young Poisoner's Handbook (1995, Benjamin Ross…

The podcast world is in a spin about the final episode of Serial, but those of us who don't have insane speculative subreddits devoted to us - yet - have to push on, too. This week: Locke (2013, Stephen Knight) 85 minutes trapped in a car with Tom Hardy could get weird, especially if he's wearing the Bane mask. Fortunately, in Locke he's wearing a …

We're back like Backstreet, and you better believe we are sex-U-al, not that it's any of your business. This week's fillums: The Trip to Italy (2014, Michael Winterbottom) When the words "improvised hilarity" are uttered, intelligent people tend to think first of our humble podcast. However, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are pretty good at it too. Is…

Angus Sampson swallows condoms full of heroin, David Stratton trades fluids with various notable directors, and Tim has a thing for Hugo Weaving’s cane. Our second episode is film criticism at its peak something-or-other. The Mule (2014, Tony Mahony, Angus Sampson) We swallow our pride, among other things, to review this new Australian black comedy…

Our first episode! They said we'd never make it, or they might have had they known we were doing it. They! What a bunch of negative tossers. Anyway, here we are. Forty-five-odd minutes of Anna and me yakking about movies, plus some musical interludes to give you brief respite from us yakking about movies. We hope you enjoy our maiden effort. Commen…
