March 28, 2024 01:42 - 1 hour - 57.9 MBGet ready to dive into the wonderfully enigmatic world of Aubrey Plaza! In our second episode predicting future Oscar nominees, Aubrey felt like an obvious choice. She’s got it all - the talent, the charm, and a whole raft of underappreciated films/performances to make her feel overdue for voting bodies. It’s all a matter of the time. We hope. Join us as we talk about this and journey through Aubrey’s filmography that includes gems such as Safety Not Guaranteed (Colin Trevorrow, 2012), Ingr...

November 23, 2023 03:05 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBThis week we were delighted to take on another audience suggestion to dive into the film career of Lizzy Caplan. On the big screen Lizzy will be known to many for her iconic turn as Janice Ian in Mean Girls (Mark Waters, 2004), where her quote-a-long line readings and frenetic energy began her rise to stardom. From there she would continue to deliver committed big screen work in the likes of Cloverfield (Matt Reeves, 2008), Hot Tub Time Machine (Steve Pink, 2010), Bachelorette (Leslye Headl...

November 09, 2023 01:21 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBLet’s get everyone talking about Kelly Reilly! Kelly is a performer who clearly has a lot of industry respect, racking up many noteworthy credits. But where these roles felt primed to launch her to lofty heights, things never quite lined up as we’d imagine for someone who feels destined for big things. In this career retrospective, we take on some of Kelly’s film highlights to discuss along the way: Pride & Prejudice (Joe Wright, 2005), Mrs Henderson Presents (Stephen Frears, 2005), Eden ...

There's her roles alongside questionable cops in Training Day (Antoine Fuqua, 2001), The Other Guys (Adam McKay, 2010) and Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans (Werner Herzog, 2009) AND questionable fellas in Hitch (Andy Tennant, 2005), The Place Beyond The Pines (Derek Cianfrance, 2012), Holy ...
Harvey Fierstein | E61 | Torch Song Trilogy, Mrs. Doubtfire, Independence Day, Bros, Death to Smoochy
September 21, 2023 00:22 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBHarvey Fierstein!! A name (and a voice) that will conjure up great feelings of affection to those familiar with him. He is a monumental figure in theatre - with a plethora of awards to back it up - and he helped pave the way for queer representation in Hollywood, but where are the film roles?? He will be known to most for his memorable turns as Frank, the make-up artist who turns his brother into the infamous Scottish nanny in Mrs. Doubtfire (Chris Columbus, 1993) or perhaps as Marty, the ...
Ira Sachs | E60 | Passages, Frankie, Little Men, Love Is Strange, Married Life, Keep the Lights On, Delta
September 07, 2023 01:15 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBWhy are more people not celebrating Ira Sachs? That question led to this episode where we reflect on a truly independent filmmaker who has worked with many recognisable faces (such as Pierce Brosnan, John Lithgow, Rachel McAdams and Ben Whishaw) yet has never quite had his moment in the limelight himself. Ira has carved out his own brand of storytelling with films such as Married Life (2007), Keep the Lights On (2012), Love Is Strange (2014) and Passages (2023). It's a fascinating filmogra...

August 24, 2023 01:31 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBDo you know what we all need? More Colman Domingo. We say this as eager film-goers who just LOVE to see Colman on screen whether that is in the opening of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (2012), in Barry Jenkin's sublime adaptation of James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) or as a ruthless villain in Janicza Bravo's Zola (2021).

August 10, 2023 00:57 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBWe’re back to shout about a big screen star who deserves lots more love, so this time we’re gonna bellow(!) about Maria Bello. Maria may be best known for her roles in Coyote Ugly (David McNally, 2000), A History Of Violence (David Cronenberg, 2005), Grown Ups (Dennis Dugan, 2010) and, most recently, Netflix's Beef (Lee Sung Jin, 2023), but she has never quite had her 'moment' and deserves much more recognition! Join as us we journey through Maria's filmography and reflect on what makes h...
Dee Rees | E57 | Pariah, Mudbound, The Last Thing He Wanted
July 27, 2023 00:58 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBIt’s that time again to recognise an under appreciated star of the screen. We deliver a swerve though, turning our attention to a director and writer...

We will cheer about the almighty highs of Pariah (2011) and Mudbound (2017); celebrate the successes of TV biopic Bessie (2015), and even acknowledge where things didn’t work out quite so well in The Last Thing He Wanted (2020...

Or as a blue villain in Guardians Of The Galaxy (James Gunn, 2014)? Or as a mysterious guest in Bodies Bodies Bodies (Halina Reijn, 2022)? If so, you'll agree that we all deserve a b...

Miriam is now known to many for her candidTV moments, regaling us all with her wildly memorable anecdotes. So for our pride celebration we couldn’t resist dipping into the film catalogue of this queer icon.
