Episodes
79 - Queen Of Earth
July 10, 2016 22:31 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBOn this week's episode things got a little too close to home when Sam and Danny reviewed the psychological drama Queen of Earth. A film about two friends who are so closely bonded that at times it's as if they're sharing one personality, also one of them makes jingles......spookyPlus we examine the latest surrounding theme song writer and part time actor Idris Elba, raise an eyebrow at the bizarre Margot Robbie piece in Vanity Fair and get more political than Ken Loach at a Billy Bragg concer...
78. Embrace Of The Serpent & Adult Life Skills
July 04, 2016 08:19 - 43 minutes - 59.7 MBThe chaos engulfing the United Kingdom hasn’t left Film Chat unscathed, as for the second week in a row this episode is out super late. Sorry listeners! Blame Nigel Farage, you might as well.This week, Danny reports back on the transporting experience of watching dreamlike Colombian drama Embrace of the Serpent, and Sam rambles on about charming low-key British comedy Adult Life Skills. We also challenge Billy Zane’s claim that his character in Titanic is the film’s true hero; discuss directi...
77. Chicken & Warcraft: The Beginning
June 28, 2016 21:27 - 42 minutes - 58.9 MBNothing is more guaranteed to jolt you out of Brexit depression than this fun filled episode of Filmchat. Sam discusses the intense British Drama Chicken (which we'll be screening on July 11th with a Q&A with the writer, book your tickets before the 3rd, ok, cheers, thanks ,bye) and then we both tackle the fantasy video game adaptation Warcraft.Plus we praise how diverse the casting for the new Spiderman film is, praise how awesome the casting for the new Armando Iannucci film is, and then pr...
76. The Nice Guys
June 11, 2016 23:21 - 41 minutes - 57.5 MBThis week, we review the Ryan Gosling/Russell Crowe buddy comedy The Nice Guys. Inspired by that film's amicable male bonding, we conduct the whole episode big cheery grins on our stupid faces, deeply appreciating each other's company.Exchanging supportive thumbs-ups throughout, we also discuss Rogue One's extensive reshoots, bitch about trailers-within-trailers, and almost come to blows over the end of L.A. Confidential. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
75. Everybody Wants Some!! & X-Men: Apocalypse
May 28, 2016 11:55 - 48 minutes - 110 MBThere are two things that Danny and Sam love, talking to chicks and battling omnipotent, ancient, megalomaniacal mutants. As luck would have two films have come out that cater to those weirdly specific needs as they review laid back bro drama, Everybody Wants Some!! and urgent, exploady film, X-Men: Apocalypse.We also discuss the news surrounding the upcoming Power Rangers film, a third Django movie and postulate what the best film to get absolutely gazeboed to is. Hosted on Acast. See acas...
74. Mustang & Sing Street
May 21, 2016 19:03 - 51 minutes - 70.9 MBThis week, Danny and Sam review two films about the tribulations of adolescence. The musical coming-of-age story Sing Street shows that poverty, family dysfunction and mean priests can be overcome by the power of love and wonderfully synthy pop music; in the Turkish family drama Mustang, synthy music is in woefully short supply for five orphaned sisters kept cooped up by their ultra-patriarchal uncle. Plus: I tell Danny he CANNOT BE SERIOUS about Shia LaBoeuf's latest role; we also wonder whe...
73. Cannes Special - Demolition & The Green Room
May 16, 2016 17:47 - 46 minutes - 63.5 MBBonjour! This week Filmchat is in France, or as the French would say "en France," to cover the 2016 Cannes Film festival.While there we sneak in reviews of "white man facing problems movie" Demolition and "white men facing white supremacists movie" Green Room. Plus we discuss the latest projects from visionary directors Guillermor Del Toro and Terry Gilliam and have an exclusive interview with French director Jean Marc Valee.Bon Appetite! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more info...
72. Son Of Saul & Captain America: Civil War
May 08, 2016 18:50 - 44 minutes - 61.1 MBThis week, Danny explains how an innovative filming concept drew him into the intimate Holocaust drama Son of Saul, and Sam explains how the superheroes punched each other well good in the equally powerful Captain America: Civil War.We also discuss Wolverine 3's increasingly angular and British cast, speak to Becky about her famously good hair, and look at how the lads are fighting back against the oppressive feminazi remake of Ghostbusters. Solidarity, brave lads! Hosted on Acast. See acas...
71. Our Little Sister & Bastille Day
April 30, 2016 12:37 - 41 minutes - 56.7 MBDo you like men who run and fight? Do you like women who talk and emote? If you're answer to both those questions was yes then this is the episode for you, as we review sisterly love drama Our Little Sister and shouty punchy nonsense film Bastille Day.PLUS: We wonder if the muppet franchise would be livened up with some casual homicides, marvel at the new Snowden trailer, and sell our souls to the corporate juggernaut which is the Fulham Hair and Scalp Clinic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com...
70. Dheepan, Ran & The Jungle Book
April 23, 2016 21:52 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MBReviewed this week: The Jungle Book, a remake of the classic animation in CGI so lavish you could prick your paw on its prickly pears; last year's Palme d'Or winner, immigration drama Dheepan; and Akira Kurosawa's epic King Lear adaptation Ran.PLUS: Our despair at news of the soulless-sounding Emoji film is lifted by Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's bizarre apology video, and we showcase Idris Elba's musical contribution to The Jungle Book - sadly absent from the final cut. Hosted on Acast. Se...
69. Midnight Special & Hardcore Henry
April 17, 2016 07:56 - 44 minutes - 61 MBOn this week's episode Danny reviews Midnight Special, the chase movie/soulful meditation on parenthood/elaborate Spielberg homage. It's a film that asks you to leave your cyncism at home and take a leap of faith to believe that........Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst were a couple???? It's pretty out there stuff.We also review Hardcore Henry the first film to be based upon the wank fantasy of a 13year old teenager who loves Counter Strike. Needless to say it is bloody deep stuff.Plus we dis...
68. Zootropolis & Victoria
April 17, 2016 07:54 - 42 minutes - 57.9 MBThis week we review Victoria, a gripping drama set over the course of one wild night in Berlin and shot in an unbroken single take. To honour this astounding technical achievement we recorded the episode the same way. As a result it's 4 hours long and consists mainly of bickering and loo breaks.We also visit Zootropolis, Disney’s lavish animated adventure and crash course on racial profiling. It's a sophisticated fable of diversity and tolerance set in a stunningly realised animal city. Also ...
67. Batman v Superman & My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
April 17, 2016 07:53 - 42 minutes - 58.3 MBOn this week we review the most anticipated sequel of all time, a film that will finally answer that age old question....what will Gus Portakolas do when he finds out his marriage isn't valid?????? Well needless to say that question is answered and then some in film of the week, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2We also find time to review blockbuster behemoth, Franchise Plan Vs Misguided Auteur: Dawn of Incoherence..sorry I mean Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's fair to say that all the crit...
66. The Witch & 10 Cloverfield Lane
April 17, 2016 07:51 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBThis week we review two spooky films that upend some common lifestyle fantasies. You know how you always wanted to be a Puritan living in New England in the 17th century? Well acclaimed horror The Witch may make give you second thoughts. And you know how you also always wanted to live in total isolation in a nuclear bunker with John Goodman? Well psychological thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane might make you wonder about that as well.We also report a victory for hatchet jobs in that titanic strugg...
65. Anomalisa & High Rise
April 17, 2016 07:51 - 47 minutes - 65.3 MBIt's 'definitely very good but i'm not entirely sure why' week on Film Chat as we review two films that left us satisfied and confounded in equal measures. First up we tackle Anomalisa the stop motion existential crisis movie from existential crisis movie expert Charlie Kaufman. It's a profound, complicated look at what it means to be human plus you get to see Jennifer Jason Leigh's norks* in it!!!!Then we try and wrap our heads around Ben Wheatley's adaptation of J G Ballard's High-Rise. It'...
64. Tangerine & Hail, Caesar!
April 17, 2016 07:49 - 47 minutes - 65.3 MBHello, Joel and Ethan! Yes, the Coen brothers are back with “Hail, Caesar!”, their knockabout tribute to old Hollywood in which a bewildering array of movie stars wear great costumes and do silly things. Danny and Sam have both seen it — listen to this week’s Film Chat to discover how much the frothy farcical fun buttered their respective muffins.Also this week, Danny reviews last year’s acclaimed comedy-drama “Tangerine”, which was famously shot entirely on an iPhone. Danny paid tribute to t...
63. Goosebumps & How To Be Single
April 17, 2016 07:48 - 48 minutes - 66.2 MBDespite this being a film-based podcast for our entire run, a single question has defined the show namely; How to be Single? Fortunately for us that question is answered pretty bloody conclusively in the rom com of the same name. I don't want to give anything away but the key is to sleep with nobody or everybody none or some of the time. Go forth you celibate sluts!!Then Danny reviews family friendly romp Goosebumps adapted from the popular series of books of the same name. If you like your y...
62. The Survivalist & Deadpool
April 17, 2016 07:47 - 40 minutes - 55.6 MBTell me, how do you like your bum and dick jokes? If you answered “made by a superhero while he winks at the audience” you're probably one of the many, many people to have seen alternative comic book blockbuster Deadpool, in which Ryan Reynolds gives it his all in the title role and Ed Skrein does his thing of being unremittingly self-satisfied. Is it the riot its made out to be or does the whole affair disappear up Ryan's Main Street? For this week’s episode Danny and Sam went to find out.Da...
61. The Assassin & A Bigger Splash
April 17, 2016 07:45 - 42 minutes - 58.3 MBOn this week Sam went to see smash hit comedy Zoolander 2 with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and the rest of the gang reprising their roles as the clueless but lovable ridiculously good looking models. He was baffled by a large sprawling film which seemed to mainly consist of political machinations in 9th century China and definitely didn't have Ben Stiller in it. It was only when the credits rolled that he realised that he'd actually gone to wrong screen and had watched the entirety of The Assass...
60. Brooklyn & Trumbo
April 17, 2016 07:44 - 40 minutes - 56.1 MBWhen Brooklyn came out last November, its tinkly cutesy trailer put us off going to see it. But the low-key story of a luminous Irish lass torn between worlds old and new has since done nothing but pick up awards and praise, so this week Danny decided to see what all the fuss was about. Did it welcome him like a beaming distant family relative, or leave him wanting to emigrate from the cinema forever? His review reveals all.Another film that has received some Academy love is Trumbo, all about...
59. Youth & Spotlight
April 17, 2016 07:43 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MBThis week Sam reviews Youth. It's a film where Michael Caine plays an old mentor who tells what Matthew McConaughey what to do.. No sorry that's Interstellar. It's actually a film where he plays an old mentor type who tells Leonardo DiCaprio what to do....No wait that's Inception. It's actually a film where he plays an old mentor type who tells Christian Bale what to do.....No wait that's Batman. It's actually a film where Michael Caine doesn't mentor anybody...go figure.Then we both review S...
58. Room & The Big Short
April 17, 2016 07:42 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MBThis week, a head-to-head between two Oscar-nominated films adapted from books with extremely simple-sounding titles. Danny braved Lenny Abrahamson's Room, an adaptation of Emma Donoghue's novel about a boy whose whole universe is the room in which he and his mother are imprisoned. It's a premise so grim it took Danny days to adjust to normal human life after he escaped the cinema.Sam and Danny also watched The Big Short, a film about the 2008 global financial crisis and the bunch of crazy wh...
57. The Revenant & Creed
April 17, 2016 07:40 - 47 minutes - 64.9 MBFirst off we examine Creed, the 7th film in the Rocky franchise. It's a film about a young black boxer trying to live up to legacy of his famous father, but his black step mother doesn't want him to. However according to "The ACaDemy" it's just about an old white guy and no other characters #SatireMeanwhile DiCaprio brings new meaning to the phrase "go the distance" in the macho, bear attack/spiritual odyssey film The Revenant. Not since he was a toddler has Leo screamed and crawled this m...
56. Joy & The Hateful Eight
April 17, 2016 07:39 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBFilm Chat is back! It's revamped, meaner, bigger and ready for anything and everything 2016 has to throw at us!!!!!*First off Sam tackles the latest David O'Russell/Jennifer Lawrence collaboration Joy. After playing a sparky young widower and a sparky young mother, can J-Law play a sparky young divorcee/mother who invents a really nice mop???? Yes.Then we turn our attention to Quentin Tarantino's latest opus The Hateful Eight. A film shot on a format so big that it literally took the two of u...
55. Christmas 2015!
April 17, 2016 07:38 - 36 minutes - 49.7 MBDanny, Sam, and Katie gather round the roaring log fire in our festive podcast cabin for a special Christmas episode of Film Chat. Shut yourself away from all that awful family time, grab a cocktail, and join us as we drink and spout nonsense about the holiday season and the year gone past.We compare our top ten films of the year (and explain why they are more correct than our listeners’), indulge in a Christmas quiz that doesn't descend into sullen bickering, pull some crackers, and pay a he...
54. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
April 17, 2016 07:30 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MBIt is a time of great excitement in the world as this week the most anticipated cinematic event of the year took place this week....OUR review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens!!Sam with his trusted companion Danny traveled to the science museum where they watched the film on a format so big it was an affront to God. Did they think it was the dog's bollocks or was it the wookie's sphincter? Listen to find out.They also check out the latest movie which there is very little of because literally e...
53. Forbidden Room & The Russian Woodpecker
April 17, 2016 07:29 - 36 minutes - 50.7 MBThis week, Danny dons the high-falutin beret of chin-stroking and Sam pulls on the lofty turtleneck of deep thought to review two films that the vast majority of the human race will never see.The Forbidden Room is the latest feature from Canadian director Guy Maddin, who has assembled an eclectic collection of melodramatic short stories nestled within one another like a Russian doll. Fragmented, theatrical, absurd - the film will be an acquired taste for most audiences. But not our extraordin...
52. Bridge of Spies & Carol
April 17, 2016 07:25 - 45 minutes - 63 MBOn this episode Sam reviews Steven Spielberg's latest film which is about spies and bridges and swapping spies across the bridge. I think it was called 'Espionage Crossing'.We then both tackle Todd Haynes film about a woman called Carol who meets another woman not called Carol who falls in love with Carol, I think it was called " Old Timey Chicks Get Their Kicks!"** We actually review Bridge of Spies & CarolPlus we discuss who we would cast as a young Han Solo, the Sight and Sound best of 201...
51. Mockingjay Part 2 & Taxi Tehran
April 17, 2016 07:23 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MBIt's authoritarian capital city week on Film Chat! Danny checks out The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2. the latest blockbuster taking up all the advertising space on the tube. The final chapter of the young-adult juggernaut features a bunch of sexy kids up to their eyeballs in the horrors of conflict, the war-crossed lovers dividing their time between wide-eyed longing for one another and preparations for PTSD. Sam opts for another film whose characters suffer under an oppressive regime, t...
50. Steve Jobs & The Lady In The Van
April 17, 2016 07:22 - 40 minutes - 55 MBThey said we'd never get this far. They said that the podcast wouldn't be as good as Serial. They said Sam would develop a major heroin problem. They said Danny would get to the third round of the X Factor.On reflection most of their predictions were right but we have managed to produce 50 episodes of Film Chat!First off we review the Aaron Sorkin scripted Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender as the titular computer genius. In keeping with the style of the film Danny and Sam walked around t...
49. Cartel Land & Beasts of No Nation
April 17, 2016 07:21 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBThis week, Danny and Sam eschew theatrical releases in favour of two harrowing explorations of systemic violence that are mainly available on demand - so viewers can despair at the pointless brutality of it all from the comfort of their own homes. Cartel Land is a documentary about two groups of vigilantes either side of the Mexico-US border, which features the most gut-wrenching narrative of power, corruption, and gang warfare this side of The Wire. Watch it on your streaming site of choice:...
48. Spectre & Sicario
April 17, 2016 07:19 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBIn a post-Halloween slump? Cradling your lifeless costumes and wondering how it all went so fast? Chucking your six carved pumpkins in the bin and feeling concerned they'll be too heavy for the bag when you have to take it out?Sounds like you need to hear:a) A somewhat grumpy review of Spectreb) A theory that Angelina Jolie is remaking all the mainstream films she's starred in as arthouse dramas no-one will watchc) The theme from Tango & Cash with Brad Pitt advertising Chanel No. 5 over the t...
47. The Lobster
April 17, 2016 07:18 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBOn this episode of Film Chat we review The Lobster, a film which sees Colin Farrell give a performance which pushes schubbliness to new unassailable heights.We also spend just the right amount of time championing the film critics we love and probably far too much time shitting on the ones we hate. Newsflash Bradshaw, you're covered in shit!And in what will probably become a weekly segment until mid December we discuss news that isn't Star Wars related and the news that is Star Wars related. ...
46. Crimson Peak
April 17, 2016 07:16 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBDank. Ghoulish. Haunting. Suffused with dread. Danny's bedroom is an upsetting place in many ways, but its unique atmosphere makes it the perfect place to review Guillermo Del Toro's ultra-spooky Gothic romance Crimson Peak. We have not been able to locate the source of that loud regular creaking noise.Scared out of our wits throughout, we tremblingly discuss the latest major movie announcements by the big studios, whose slates increasingly seem to be determined by a loads of Hollywood Alan P...
45. Macbeth
April 17, 2016 07:14 - 40 minutes - 37 MBKatie's absence continues to take its toll on the general quality of Film Chat as this episode is both underprepared and overlong.This week we focussed all our energy into reviewing the latest Macbeth adaptation directed by Justin Kurzel, starring Michael Fassbender and written by some up and comer called Will.I.Am Shaq Spear? Anyway, despite some ropey dialogue, it's pretty good.We also discuss the latest project by Bong Joon Ho, wonder whether the Thor franchise would benefit from being mor...
44. The Martian & A Syrian Love Story
April 17, 2016 03:56 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBOn this week's episode Sam reviews A Syrian Love Story, a moving documentary about how geopolitical forces impact the lives of ordinary people. It's a film that is so relevant, intelligent and moving that I cannot think of a joke to write in this bit.We then tackle Ridley Scott's latest film The Martian, all about Matt Damon struggling to survive after being stranded on Mars. Err newsflash Damon there's water on Mars, you're gonna be fine mate.We also imagine what the world would have looked ...
43. Irrational Man & A Wolf at the Door
April 17, 2016 03:50 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBThis week, Danny passes judgment on Woody Allen's latest, Irrational Man, which sees the veteran filmmaker leap dramatically out of his comfort zone in a story about a neurotic old white guy having an existential crisis. After that, Sam nervously approaches Brazilian thriller A Wolf at the Door, which makes Rio de Janiero simultaneously look like a sunny urban paradise and a den of iniquity populated by dangerous obsessive maniacs.We also discuss how it be raining planned Men in Black sequels...
42. American Ultra & Legend
April 17, 2016 03:47 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MBIn this installment, Danny reviews stoner action comedy romp American Ultra starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart.

No.The duo then ask Tom Hardy why he's acting so cray cray when we review Kray twins biopic Legend.Elsewhere, Sam Samsplains Damonsplaining to Danny and Danny Dannysplains the latest Ice Cube project to Sam. Then, Sam and Danny Samanddannysplain to their listeners why Idris Elba has taken to the recording studio again to a craft a...
41. Aaaaaaaah! & 45 Years
April 17, 2016 03:39 - 33 minutes - 46.4 MBFans of seeing humanity's thin veneer of civilisation stripped away to reveal the base creature beneath will love this week's episode as Danny employs a series of bestial growls and grunts to review experimental black comedy Aaaaaaaah! Sam opts for a more ordinary string of ums, ahs, and y'knows in his own look at marriage drama 45 Years.Elsewhere, the team makes some astonishingly cutting contemporary political remarks in a discussion about the super relevant new Bourne film; finds an excuse...
40. Mistress America & The Man From U.N.C.L.E
April 17, 2016 03:37 - 43 minutes - 59.4 MBThis week Sam and Danny tackle two films that uncannily reflect the experiences they've shared over Film Chat's 40 episodes.First off Sam reviews Mistress America about a young, directionless ingenue who is taken under the wing of a go getting, confident bullshitter. No not Film Chat: The Movie! but Mistress America, the latest slice of middle class angst from indie darling Noah Baumbach.Then they tackle a film in which two hunky men bicker, fight and eventually get along. No not Film Chat: T...
39. The Diary Of A Teenage Girl, Trainwreck & Marshland
April 17, 2016 03:36 - 43 minutes - 59.6 MBThis week, Danny leapt aboard the Amy Schumer rom-com Trainwreck and Sam snuck a peek at indie hit The Diary of a Teenage Girl, two films that promised them the insights into women they so desperately need despite years spent carefully collecting the What I'm Really Thinking columns in the Guardian. They compared notes and it turns out women have sex and get drunk a lot. Interesting.Sam also ventured into the Spanish noir Marshland, a decidedly male-focused film that promised him the insights...
38. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Fantastic Four & Hard To Be A God
April 17, 2016 03:35 - 49 minutes - 67.8 MBIt's arthouse sandwich week on FilmChat as we lay down a slice of popcorn nonsense, add a filling of Russian navel gazing before topping it off with a piece of commercial bullshit.First off we they take on Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, the fifth film in Tom Cruise's mid life crisis franchise. Did all the running, dangling, hanging and jumping impress them? Yes, sure, why not, and could have done with more.Then Danny tries very hard to give a shit about the Russian epic Hard to be a God.Fi...
37. Inside Out & Performance
April 17, 2016 03:22 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBThis week, two films that each explore identity and the human condition: one by personifying emotions as adorable jumping cartoons, and the other by getting Mick Jagger to have sex a lot. Inside Out is Pixar’s latest, a film about Joy and Sadness getting lost inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl that seems hell bent on reducing everyone in the audience to a weeping, laughing mess. Performance is a 1970 experimental psychodrama in which an East London gangster holes up with Mick Jagger and h...

34. Amy & Terminator: Genisys
April 17, 2016 03:08 - 42 minutes - 58 MBOn this week's Film Chat the duo review two films that are so similar that they're practically indistinguishable from each other. Danny tackles Amy, the Amy Winehouse documentary which charts the singer's tragically short lived life encompassing her phenomenal songwriting talent, her treatment by the media and her problems with addiction. Then Sam joins him to the review Terminator Genysis, which is essentially the same film but with more time travel and robots. Plus we wonder whether Spider...
