October 01, 2021 19:00 - 39 minutes - 91.4 MBThis time we delve into Thomas Vinterberg's gentle Another Round, a film about some droopy dads getting various degrees of pissed. Plus Sam reviews Black Widow, a film most people have probably already forgotten exists. We also have a conversation about the Matrix trilogy and the sex rave we all remember fondly from the second one, and resist the Disney Corporation's attempts to trick us into a nostalgic connection to the latest Spider-Man.

225. Promising Young Woman & The Snyder Cut
June 19, 2021 18:00 - 49 minutes - 113 MBA rare transmission from Film Chat finds us reviewing Oscar-winning thriller Promising Young Woman, which did not speak to this podcast's male hosts. We also check out the wacky four-hour "Synder cut" of Justice League, surely the longest, greyest, and most rubble-filled superhero film ever made.

224. Wonder Woman 1984
April 26, 2021 17:51 - 50 minutes - 115 MBIn line with our predictable, regular, and timely production schedule, the latest episode of Film Chat is here! We're releasing it just after the Oscars, but we know what our listeners really want to hear - our review of Wonder Woman 1984. Everyone's talking about it, everyone's thinking about it, and now you get to hear our take. Don't miss out! PLUS!! We hold forth on Netflix's Bridgerton, a vibrant period romance with a lot of sexy boxing and heaving bosoms, and we chat about forthcoming...
223. Soul, Wild Mountain Thyme & Hamilton
March 07, 2021 11:17 - 1 hour - 104 MBOn this extremely belated episode of Film Chat we review Soul, the latest film from Pixar which combines their two interests - madcap buddy comedy shenanigans and deep metaphysical ruminations. We then openly laugh at cultural hate crime/film Wild Mountain Thyme which, if nothing else, is a strong contender for weirdest third act twist ever. AND we find time to deliver a blistering hot take on the cultural juggernaut Hamilton a mere 6 years after it was first staged. Hosted on Acast. See...
222. Christmas Special
December 31, 2020 23:46 - 40 minutes - 92 MBQuick!!!! If you stick this episode on within minutes of it uploading, you can still ring in the New Year with this podcast on in the background!! Bid goodnight to 2020 with Sam and Danny, as they look over what has unquestionably been a weird and not particularly good year. Most of a top 10 films of the year is assembled, Christmas viewing highlights are discussed, some lovely messages from listeners are read out, and the question of which teapot from Disney's Beauty and the Beast films is t...
221. Mank
December 23, 2020 14:41 - 39 minutes - 91.4 MBOn this episode we review David Fincher's latest film, Mank, in which everyone's favourite old man, Gary Oldman plays the legendary screenwriter Herman J Mankiewicz. In the pantheon of Netflix movies is it better than The Irishman or worse than The Princess Switch: Switched Again? Tune in to find out. Plus we look at the frankly insane number of project Disney has announced and wonder what it is that has gotten Lord Christopher Nolan in a real tizz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy ...
220. The Trial of the Chicago 7 & Borat 2
December 22, 2020 18:49 - 33 minutes - 76.5 MBOur latest episode sneaking out gives our listeners a chance to play another game of "When Did We Record This?" Under the microscope this time are a double dose of political Sacha Baron Cohen movies that between them are probably responsible for Biden's election victory. Well done Sacha!! In The Trial of the Chicago Seven, ultra-liberal ultra-patriot Aaron Sorkin dramatises the true story of a group of left-wing protestors accused of "conspiracy to riot" at the 1968 Democratic National Conv...
219. I'm Thinking of Ending Things
November 28, 2020 11:40 - 58 minutes - 98.7 MBOn this belated episode of Film Chat, Danny reviews anticipated threequel Bill and Ted: Face the Music in which the internet's boyfriend Keanu Reeves teams up with that guy who was in the previous films to give you a hit of nostalgia laced joy. It's basically fine. THEN we do a deep dive into I'm Thinking of Ending Things, the latest existential offering from America's saddest director, Charlie Kaufman. Y'know, given the past few years it can often feel like the world is going to hell but K...
218. Tenet & Irresistible
October 22, 2020 16:23 - 48 minutes - 81.1 MBOn this episode we review the much-anticipated and still-in-cinemas Tenet, Christopher Nolan's latest high-concept, low-IQ blockbuster. We didn't know what the heck was going on but at least the explosions were all in-camera. Plus Danny gives his take on Jon Stewart's misfiring political satire Irresistible, and Sam explains why the 2018 film Rampage should have had one more giant animal in it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
217. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 7
September 14, 2020 17:24 - 38 minutes - 87 MBFilm Chat episodes are just like buses. You wait 3 months for one and then two come along within a week of each other. That's the saying right? On this belated ep we give scorching hot takes on the latest Judd Apatow man child dramedy The King of Staten Island, Alex Garland's robo chamber piece Ex Machina and Amy Heckerling's seminal 90's teen flick Clueless. We also find time to discuss a proposed Princess Diana biopic and wonder whether it'll be shit or the shit. Next episode due April 2...
216. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 6
September 08, 2020 17:07 - 53 minutes - 88.5 MBAfter an editing process longer than those of the the last three Christopher Nolan films combined, this archive audio recorded back in May 2020 is now ready for consumption by contemporary audiences. Remember May? It was a lot like now except barbers weren't open and Tenet hadn't come out. This blast from the past covers: -- Maybe Christopher Walken's best performance ever in King of New York -- Horror classic Witchfinder General -- Patrick Keillor's 1992 documentary London, which feature...
215. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 5
May 31, 2020 12:28 - 52 minutes - 120 MBOur good friend Georgia Mills joins us to revisit 1999's Best Picture winner American Beauty, which turns out to be a real hot mess. We also grill Georgia about the scientific accuracy of films such as Lucy, The Matrix, and The Martian, and learn about "double bees". Plus, we take a look at another classic, the incredibly self-conscious and awkward erotic blockbuster 50 Shades of Grey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
214. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 4
May 15, 2020 17:51 - 40 minutes - 68.4 MBThe latest missive from the lockdown bunker contains: -- Danny's views on the festive anti-Brexit rom-com Last Christmas, featuring Emilia Clarke and a very literal interpretation of some George Michael lyrics -- Some dunking on Extraction, the gritty urban shoot-em-up on Netflix whose epic single-take action sequence is frankly trying too hard -- Chat about Billy Wilder's late period comedy The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes -- Brainstorm session for a film pitch for Coronavirus: The M...
213. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 3
April 27, 2020 14:00 - 37 minutes - 86.3 MBThis time in our respective lockdown bunkers, we discuss: - Quiz, the TV show about the coughing man who cheated on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Castlevania, Netflix's cartoon about very softly spoken vampires and even more softly spoken vampire hunters - Jean-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows, probably not as good as the Netflix cartoon but nevertheless a classic - Netflix's Four Weddings knock-off Love Wedding Repeat - #MeToo era horror The Invisible Man, which is one of many good ...
212. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 2
April 17, 2020 06:00 - 44 minutes - 73.3 MBSeveral weeks into the lockdown the cracks are starting to show in the Film Chat machine so prepare for yourself for an episode which is somehow even less well prepped and even more free wheelin' then the last one. Our conversation covers the following classic films that you've been dying to hear our takes on: Confused and irritating Viggo Mortensen drama Captain Fantastic Lightweight Netflix rom-com Set It Up Sly and Arnie buddy film Escape Plan Classic Kung Fu movie The 36th Chamber of...
211. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 1
April 06, 2020 22:26 - 35 minutes - 80.5 MBWe may be hunkered down inside forts made of panic-bought loo rolls and egg cartons, but we're still in contact with one another and we have the ability to record ourselves, so the podcast goes on!!! In this loose, even less prepped edition of Film Chat, we meander around what we've been watching lately instead of making physical contact with other humans. Conversation covers: --Mark Wahlberg's Netflix oeuvre --fash buddy cop film Dragged Across Concrete --sexy 70s Italian cop film Live L...
210. Escape From Pretoria & Bacurau
March 29, 2020 11:16 - 56 minutes - 95.5 MBWith the Coronavirus forcing us all to self isolate everyone has more time to do one thing. Knitting. Unfortunately, like idiots, we made this podcast where we watch films, an activity nobody was doing before the pandemic and has only decreased as a result of it. Nevertheless we pointlessly review Escape from Pretoria, a South African real life prison drama which contained none of the excitement of nailing a purl ridge stitch. We also review Bacurau a brilliant genre bending fever dream ...
209. Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Birds of Prey & A Field in England
March 12, 2020 20:31 - 47 minutes - 108 MBFor this episode we shake off the contrarian attitude we took towards Midsommar and join in with the hordes of critics lavishing praise on Céline Sciamma's period romance Portrait of a Lady on Fire. We agree with the professional chumps - it's good! Plus, Sam offers his take on the Suicide Squad spin-off Birds of Prey and the Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel, which plucks Margot Robbie from the bland grimy macho nonsense of the original and puts her in the centre of som...
208. Parasite & The Personal History of David Copperfield
February 25, 2020 19:46 - 1 hour - 139 MBOn this episode of Film Chat we finally review the recent Best Picture winner Parasite and answer the question everyone's been asking themselves - is this as good as Green Book? THEN Jake Hoskyns joins Sam in the Film Chat podbooth to review Armando Ianucci's latest film, The Personal History of David Copperfield? Did Armando Barnaby FUDGE this latest Dickens adaptation or was it a tale of two pretty satisfied film goers? Tune in to find out! PLUS we discuss the news that Bradley Cooper ha...
207. Jojo Rabbit, The Lighthouse & The Wicker Man
February 15, 2020 13:25 - 59 minutes - 101 MBNazis! Lighthouse keepers! Pagans! This episode of Film Chat has it all! FIRSTLY, Danny reviews Oscar winning "anti-hate" satire Jojo Rabbit and finds it a real kampf to think of anything positive to say about it. THEN, Danny and Sam review The Lighthouse which goes straight into their top 5 of black and white lighthouse-based films that they’ve seen this year. AND THEN, Danny and Sam reappraise the classic British Horror film The Wicker Man and decide that Oh God Oh Jesus Christ...
206. Uncut Gems, 1917 & Midsommar
January 24, 2020 18:24 - 51 minutes - 118 MBOn this week's episode, we place the acclaimed, much-memed Uncut Gems under our critical loupe and check it for flaws. We also add to our collection of awards-season related opinions by reviewing the widely nominated historical epic 1917, in which Roger Deakins stalks a pair of young soldiers around wartorn France, refusing to cut away. And we address a listener complaint by finally reviewing last year's well-received horror Midsommar, although neither of us thought it was that great so the ...
205. Little Women
January 18, 2020 14:28 - 55 minutes - 95 MBOn this episode of Film Chat, Sam and Danny review the deeply misleadingly titled Little Women. Which, contrary to it's title, is about a group of regular sized sisters growing up during the civil war. Seriously the smallest one is probably round 5'2, absolute bullshit* PLUS Danny gives belated hot takes on two of the most talked about films of last year, Joker and Cats. He found one of them to be a bizarre film with full of nonsensical plotting and hammy performances and the other one was ...
204. CHRISTMAS & Cats & Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
December 30, 2019 13:46 - 56 minutes - 128 MBIt's the Film Chat Christmas Special, as we reflect on the year gone by accompanied by messages from our listeners, some seasonal sound effects, and surreptitiously munched mince pies. We offer our own top 10, or top 7 or so in Sam's case since he didn't see enough good films to fill out the list. We also dip our toe into looking back on the whole decade but Sam chickens out of that challenge entirely. Plus, of course, we review the two big holiday releases: the once-in-a-lifetime mindfuck ...
203. The Nightingale, Frozen 2 & Knives Out
December 23, 2019 09:01 - 1 hour - 142 MBOn this belated episode of Film Chat we review 3 films, some of which may still be in cinemas! Danny saw The Nightingale, a film that taught him that colonialism is wrong through a gruelling narrative which contain multiple scenes of extreme and rape. Meanwhile Sam saw Frozen 2, a film that taught him that colonialism is wrong through a zippy narrative which contain multiple scenes of extremely catchy tunes and bright colours. Then they join forces to review franchise-killing feminazi soy...
202. The Irishman
December 17, 2019 00:57 - 56 minutes - 129 MBIn an episode recorded some time ago - before everyone in the UK lived in Hell - we review The Irishman, the epoch-spanning gangster epic from Martin Scorsese. Marty has brought together most actors he's ever worked with and used cutting-edge effects to make them younger and older, and there is no denying that all that is fun. But is it good? That is the question with which our review wrestles. PLUS! We compare the digital fur technology of two thrilling trailers, we touch on deep fakes, an...
201. Doctor Sleep & The King
November 27, 2019 23:13 - 1 hour - 139 MBOn this episode Danny reviews Doctor Sleep the not remotely anticipated or long awaited sequel to classic horror film The Shining which finds Ewan McGregor as a grown up Danny Torrance battling demons from his past, as well as literally battling demons from his past! Review spoiler alert- this film rules. Then he join forces with Sam to review The King, the latest attempt by Netflix to justify it's subscription fee. It's a medieval war film starring so-hot-right-now actor Timothée Chalamet ...
200. Monos & The Laudromat
November 22, 2019 17:36 - 51 minutes - 117 MBIt's our 200th episode!!! We celebrate this massive landmark by acknowledging it. Otherwise this episode is just like the other ones. REVIEWED: Monos, an acclaimed, surreal arthouse film about child guerrillas that Peter Bradshaw called "deeply mad" in a five-star review. Danny condemns the film and everyone who liked it. Plus, we review The Laundromat, a star-studded Steven Soderbergh movie that broadly speaking does for the Panama Papers scandal what The Big Short did for the subprime mor...
199. The Day Shall Come, Joker, Hustlers & Ad Astra
November 15, 2019 12:25 - 1 hour - 107 MBAfter a brief hiatus we return with reviews of four films which have become distant memories to the film going public. First up Danny reviews Chris Morris' film The Day Shall Come, an expose about the war on terror full of full of shocking revelations such as the C.I.A are racist and also corrupt but also racist. THEN Sam reviews Joker, which answers the question film fans have been asking for years namely, what if Taxi Driver but also Batman? THEN Danny reviews Hustlers, the sleeper hit ...
198. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood & Bait
September 23, 2019 16:18 - 48 minutes - 110 MBAfter a hiatus spent reflecting deeply on the time travel mechanics in Avengers: Endgame, we are back! We review Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a paean to Tinseltown that will make you want to build a little shrine in your home to the hardworking actors who were big on TV in the 50s but never quite made the transition to film. Bless their pure souls. Danny also gives his take on Bait, an arthouse drama about Cornish fishermen painstakingly shot on black and white 16mm. Cr...
197. Support the Girls, In Fabric & Yesterday
July 16, 2019 08:02 - 57 minutes - 131 MBOn this episode not satisfied with his tope bag that says "nevertheless she persisted" on it and his subscription to Bust magazine, Danny takes another step to prove how much of a woke bae he is by seeing Support the Girls, the brilliant new film by Andrew Bujalski all about female solidarity and the emotional toil of work, two topics he knows nothing about. Then not satisfied with his Dario Argento boxset and his comic by Alejandro Jodorowksy, Danny takes another step to prove how cool and...
196. High Life, Booksmart, Late Night & Sunset
June 25, 2019 10:59 - 49 minutes - 113 MBIt's a bonafide review bonanza this week on Film Chat as we review 4 films which are so dissimilar to each other they're like four radically different peas in an unusual pod. Danny reviews High Life in which Juliette Binoche plays a crazed scientist hell-bent on harvesting Robert Pattinson's semen, in space. - It's not as fun as it sounds. Then he reviews Sunset in which a young woman tries to unlock the mystery of her past in 1913 Hungary where the country is on the verge of imploding as ...
195. Thunder Road & Eighth Grade
June 18, 2019 13:29 - 58 minutes - 94.2 MBOn this episode Danny reviews the highly acclaimed indie drama Thunder Road and tries to decide where it ranks in the pantheon of films that share titles with Bruce Springsteen Songs. He settled on somewhere below Badlands but far superior to Pink Cadillac. Then he joins forces with Sam to tackle Bob Burnham's debut film, the deeply affecting drama Eighth Grade which reminds us all that being 13 is a living fucking nightmare and we're all lucky to have survived it. PLUS they have an in dep...
194. Detective Pikachu, Birds of Passage, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum
June 11, 2019 00:13 - 54 minutes - 124 MB"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" someone once said, and by a similar token there is simply no way to talk about Detective Pikachu. But Sam tries. He also informs you that the representation of dogs is much improved in the third John Wick film, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. The dog in the first film was a mere victim, in the second it's a passive companion, and in the third dogs actively bite the shit out of people to help John Wick. That's got to be progress. Dan...
193. Avengers Endgame
May 17, 2019 16:47 - 58 minutes - 96 MBOn this belated episode, we review the little indie drama Avengers: Endgame. At the time of recording it had only grossed £5, but if audiences get out there and support this overlooked gem it might gross as much as £10! PLUS we discuss the controversial Sonic the hedgehog trailer and wonder whether applying photo realistic CGI to a 2D platform game character was a great decision or the greatest decision! AND we check in with actor-turned-director-turned-Batman-turned-meme Ben Affleck and h...
192. The Sister Brothers & Wild Rose
April 25, 2019 11:25 - 46 minutes - 107 MBIt's International Cowboy Boots Week, so we're reviewing two films with cowboy boots in them. The one with the most cowboy boots is Jacques Audiard's The Sisters Brothers, an off-beat, star-studded Western which features quite a few shod cowboys. The other, Wild Rose, comes up short in the cowboy boots stakes with only a single main pair and maybe some in the background later on, but it makes up for it by being a tearjerking indie drama about a young Glaswegian woman who dreams of being a co...
191. Us
April 15, 2019 12:17 - 51 minutes - 82.9 MBIn the words of my last six girlfriends before they swore of men forever, "We need to talk about Us".... By which I mean we will be reviewing Jordan Peele's latest politically astute horror, Us which make us go "Ahhh!" and "Hmmm!" in equal measure. By which I mean it scared us and made us think. PLUS we discuss a new mooted version of Macbeth in which Lady Mcdormand (Frances McDormand) will play Lady Macbeth AND we examine the new trailer for the upcoming Joker movie which finally answers t...
190. Being Frank & Captain Marvel
March 31, 2019 21:27 - 45 minutes - 104 MBIt feels like literally months since the last Marvel film came out, so Sam was absolutely champing at the bit to see the latest offering, Captain Marvel - a title which, if it wasn't referencing a property created in the 60s, would suggest the franchise had expended every single other possible superhero moniker. Danny meanwhile reviews Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story, an uplifting documentary about the maverick comedian and musician Frank Sidebottom. We also discuss who we would cast in a...
189. Childhood Cancelled: Insect Animations
March 13, 2019 02:07 - 42 minutes - 97.9 MBThis week, we shake up the format by discussing three animated films about insects of different kinds: Antz, A Bug's Life, and Bee Movie. For too long, people have been uncritically absorbing these cute movies about little critters and their adventures without asking, "am I indoctrinating my kids with the good propaganda or the bad propaganda here?" With the unshakeable confidence of guys who haven't read Hobbes, Rousseau or Marx, but have read at least 100,000 posts about the Labour Party ...
188. High Flying Bird, Can You Ever Forgive Me? & Velvet Buzzsaw
February 28, 2019 19:48 - 54 minutes - 126 MBOn this episode, Danny and Sam catch up with the BAFTAs and look forward to the Oscars, which have now happened (but never mind), and we put Oliva Colman where she belongs: on blast! Plus, we talk about three films! Danny gives his take on the Oscar-nominated Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which is also the question the Academy should be posing to the world after failing to reward this good film and bungling most categories in general. Sam meanwhile, in the grip of the flu at the time of the rec...
187. Green Book, Alita Battle Angel & If Beale Street Could Talk
February 23, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 131 MBOn this belated edition of Film Chat we review what we are positive will be the most talked about film of the year. I am of course referring to the groundbreaking Alita: Battle Angel. Danny also found time to review Green Book which he found to be an overly simplistic, somewhat offensive look at racism in the '60s and also didn't feature any cyborgs or characters with massive eyes. We also reviewed Barry Jenkins follow up to Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk which they basically though...
186. Vice
February 08, 2019 19:15 - 42 minutes - 97 MBThis week we chat about the Oscar-nominated Vice, which features some of the most Dick-Cheney-like rubber ever glued to a human face. It's angry, it's polemical, it breaks the fourth wall constantly, and the fake liver spots are second to none. But is it good? That's the question we would have addressed in our review had we not spent so much time speculating about how hot it gets under a kilo of uncannily flesh-like silicone. Plus, we talk about the casting of Denis Villeneuve's megabudget,...
185. Burning, Fyre Festival & Bird Box
February 04, 2019 10:54 - 1 hour - 96.9 MBOn this bumper packed edition of Film Chat we were delighted to be joined by the world's best scientist Georgia Mills for an episode which is packed full of so much science that it makes....err....Brian Cox's podcast sound even worse than it already is.....i assume...i don't listen to it...why would I? First up we review the acclaimed Korean drama Burning which is full of actors so hot right now that they could take a crap, wrap it in tinfoil, put a couple fish hooks on it and sell it to Qu...
184. Beautiful Boy, Shoplifters & Brexit: The Uncivil War
January 29, 2019 00:22 - 1 hour - 147 MBFilm Chat is back for 2019, gearing up for another year of doing what we do best - or at least doing what we do persistently - chatting about films. Hey you know what's bad? Brexit. It's an absurdity that should never have been allowed; a massive crime perpetrated by an unaccountable elite, sold with a pack of lies and probably funded by the Russians; a catastrophic charade and an insult to every right-thinking person in this great country. Plus, Benedict Cumberbatch's accent is a bit wonky...
183. New Year Special ft. The Favourite & Happy New Year Colin Burstead
December 31, 2018 10:39 - 31 minutes - 36 MBAs 2018 comes to a close we bring you two takes that are hotter than the sun. We review the latest Ben Wheatley movie Happy New Year Colin Bustead. Having made a film set in a house, a film set in a field, a film set in a high-rise building and a film set in a warehouse, can Ben Wheatley make a film set in a really big house? The answer is a resounding yes. Sam also reviews The Favourite, the latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos where the script mainly consisted of the phrase "awkward pause"....
182. Christmas Special ft. Aquaman & Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
December 27, 2018 13:46 - 55 minutes - 59.6 MBOur long-lost producer Katie returns from the faraway land of Sweden to join us for a festive special, which I don't think it's an exaggeration to claim is by far the most Christmassy 55 minutes it's possible to spend this holiday season. Featuring: Our listeners' best and worst films of the year! (incorrect) Our own best and worst films of the year! (correct) A Sweden-themed film quiz courtesy of Katie, who is Swedish now! A review of the extremely hairy and wet adventure that is Aquama...
181. The House That Jack Built & Sorry To Bother You
December 17, 2018 12:31 - 53 minutes - 123 MBOn this episode Danny tackles the most controversial film of the year Lars Von Trier's The House That Jack Built. The only thing more controversial will be his Danny's review which is eye wateringly explicit in every sense of the word. We then review Sorry To Bother You a hilarious and scabrous dissection of the ills of capitalism....but we still had to pay to see it, EXPLAIN THAT "Boots Riley" PLUS we examine the deeply underwhelming golden globe nomination and conclusively decide whether...
180. Roma & Assassination Nation
December 13, 2018 16:53 - 46 minutes - 106 MBOn this episode we review Roma, Alfonso Cuaron's beguiling monochrome drama which screams "classy" at such high volumes 99% of the audience is guaranteed to feel under-dressed watching it. Danny meanwhile enters "epic rant" mode to tear strips out of Assassination Nation, in a review so scathing the director has already written Danny a personal letter of apology and promised never to work in the industry again. Plus! Danny gets a valuable compliment on his blackface analysis; that eternal r...
