64 - 2017 Year in Review & The Last Jedi
December 24, 2017 18:47 - 1 hour - 105 MBWe're fast approaching 2018 but before we bid 2017 a last goodbye, Iain and Olly take you through their 2017 movie awards in what must be their second or third most glamorous spectacle ever. Covering their best and worst films of the year, best acting from an animal and many more; they basically just shoot the breeze about this year's movies. Oh yeah, and Seggy 1 is a full review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Iain has a list of gripes. I think you can imagine how that goes...
63 - Christmas Spectacular - TV Listings Top Picks
December 17, 2017 18:47 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBWe do the hard work so you don't have to: this Christmas your movie viewing is a no brainer, because we've scoured the TV listings for all the best movies from bottom to top. We also compare and contrast the Radio Times and TV Guide, their listings, price, front cover, Santa illustration, rating system... you name it, we've scrutinised it. Up first though, Iain provides his top three movie Santas, and his bottom three Christmas treats. Yule love it.

December 10, 2017 14:46 - 1 hour - 95.6 MBThis week Olly sits down with Mark Brendan and Carl Timms of Dark Matter Films to find out about their upcoming project Off Grid, how their zombie short film Still came to be as well as general insights into the writing and production process. Before that in Seggy One, Iain asks Olly what his Top Three Owen Wilson movies are, and what his Bottom Three Greggs bakery menu items are. As you’d expect, conversational fireworks ensue.

60 - Bad Sequels & Return of The Porno Quiz
November 26, 2017 22:57 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBThey like it... so give them MORE of it. Well, that's what they thought when they made these movies but they seem to have forgotten to make them as good as the first. We plunge into the murky depths of sequel swamp and discuss Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows, Blues Brothers 2000, The Mask 2: Son of the Mask... among others. And we give you more of our most successful (and sexual)Seggy 1 to date; the fan (and pervert) favourite - "Porno Movie Quiz".

59 - Disaster Movies
November 19, 2017 22:04 - 1 hour - 95.7 MBWhat's the worst that could happen? Well, listen now to find out! It's our disaster movies special, where we pitch our ideas for new disaster movies, like Olly's "Dante's Impact" (with quite suspicious science) or Iain's "40 Seconds to Meltdown" AND we Deep Dive on the best ever disaster movies... well Olly does whilst Iain desperately tries to get some points about The Towering Inferno in. Expect San Andreas, Geostorm, Twister... AND MORE!
58 - Dogs on Film
November 12, 2017 16:28 - 57 minutes - 105 MBThis week we talk about man's best friend on film... no, not Owen Wilson, but Dogs! From Turner and Hooch to Marley and Me, as well as films with titles that don't match that format; expect dog facts, sad tales of the screen dogs that have passed away, the films of Uggie the eight movie actor and why dogs have had a better time on Screen than cats. Plus in seggy one, we pitch ideas to make our podcast unique - but will we green-light them, or shit them in the bin?
57 - James Cameron plus Interview with Raindance's Harvey Puttock
November 05, 2017 23:42 - 1 hour - 120 MBAfter countless trips into his Farty Submersible to Deep Dive other movies and movie-makers, we finally get into the details about James Cameron himself. We focus on Avatar, Piranha 2, his reputation on-set and a little about his three dimensional legacy. Iain also chats with Raindance's Harvey Puttock, about being a filmmaker in residence, his personal projects and which are his favourite Cameron movies.
56 - November Movies Preview
October 29, 2017 14:23 - 1 hour - 115 MBIts a November to Dismember... spooky November facts, the types of questions you don't want at 38,000 feet, and movie previews for A Bad Moms Christmas and Daddy's Home 2. Grisly. Oh, and we're joined by the ever astute and cine-literate Peter Cater. What better way to kick off the month? Like, share, subscribe, review, talk to a friend about it, talk to yourself about it.
55 - Goths on Film
October 22, 2017 13:02 - 1 hour - 122 MBKicking off our second year of being with a bang, we continue our Hallow's Month spookiness by looking at Goth film stuff. In Seggy One, Iain is forced to review isolated veg and food produce sounds, guess the veg and then decide how it could be used in a gory way on film. That's right, its sort of Audio Nasties again. And then for our Deep Dive, we cover The Crow, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dracula 2000 and Queen of the Damned, amongst others! And Olly presses Iain to decide which wrestler is th...
54 - Our First Birthday Bonanza
October 15, 2017 22:08 - 59 minutes - 109 MBWe're one year old - so join us for our birthday party! This week we've removed the deep dive and instead we journey through a succession of 'wacky' segments. Think Seggy one... but more of it. We get an informative and spooky Wrong, Dead Wrong quiz, a Halloween-inspired Film in 140 Characters some Audio Nasties some check-ins from our famous friends a host of other party fun.
53 - Video Nasties - Part 2
October 08, 2017 17:31 - 1 hour - 122 MBIt's time for Part 2, and this week we focus our attentions on the banned movies of the video nasties list themselves. Amongst others, we cover SS Experiment Camp, Zombie Flesh Eaters and Evilspeak and pick out our best lines, best gore and give them an overall Nasty Rating. And by popular demand, its the return of Audio Nasties - can you do as well as Iain at guessing movie deaths from the audio alone?
52 - Video Nasties - Part 1
October 01, 2017 15:55 - 1 hour - 122 MBThis week we kick off a two-part Deep Dive into the "video nasty" panic of the 1980's. In part one, we delve into the history, and alas; Iain takes it all a bit seriously. But lightening things up, Olly tests Iain's ear with some 'audio nasties' which he smatters lovingly throughout the 'sode. Play along at home if you dare, and see if you can guess what movie death Olly's playing from the sound alone? Olly also comes up with a new camp character who likes the word "nasty'. LISTEN!
51 - October Movies Preview & Movie Tweets (w/ guest Peter Cater)
September 24, 2017 22:31 - 1 hour - 112 MBThis week we're joined again by friend of the podcast Peter Cater, and he makes an indelible impact by debunking the entire concept of Blade Runner, and generally taking an irreverent approach to whether we need any films in October at all. And up front, Iain and Peter battle head to head in a 'guess the film from 140 characters' competition that Olly has lovingly prepared. Enjoy!

50 - Esteemed Actors' Worst Roles + Reviews Galore
September 17, 2017 20:05 - 1 hour - 129 MBThey've got an Oscar but they've phoned it in. Or they've won the acclaim of their thespian peers but had an on-screen nightmare for one reason or another... it's when esteemed actors have their worst roles! We cover Denzel Washington, DeNiro, Pacino, Hopkins... and MANY more, and chart their most embarrassing on-screen outings. And up front in this week's Seggy One, we make up for the lack of constructive reviews in September, by actually reviewing films we've both seen now in a Housekeepin...
49 - Baby Driver's Watson Wu & Our Top Movie Cars
September 10, 2017 13:31 - 1 hour - 135 MBCars, Cars, Cars. This week the car is the star, as we run down Iain's list of top movie cars, even though this episode was Olly's idea. In seggy one, Olly tries out his interview technique for size as he discusses the craft with Baby Driver's sound recordist Watson Wu. And our Lifescores are a race against the clock as Olly forces us to keep our deep dive within harsh time constraints. Start your engines (podcasts).

48 - Ellen Ripley: No.1 Action Heroine
September 03, 2017 18:28 - 1 hour - 117 MBAfter an arduous and technically taxing round of public voting, the results are in: your number one Action Heroine is Ellen Ripley. Joined for the episode by Girlfriend of the Podcast™ Mandy, Olly and Iain attempt to dedicate this episode to the xenomorph-stomping heroine. Seggy One is a Wrong, Dead Wrong quiz on Ripley actress Sigourney Weaver, followed by a Deep Dive that meanders from the four other action heroine finalists to finally cover some ground on Ripley herself. If you LOVE this ...
47 - September Movies Preview & Jobs Before They Were Famous
August 27, 2017 15:14 - 1 hour - 120 MBThis is your September movies primer. We cover Stephen King's IT, Darren Aronofsky's Mother, American Made, Una and many more. Iain complains about trailers giving too much away and Olly complains about poor IMDB 'official' synopses. So it's an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. We also do the usual weekly roundup of our movie-watching and give our LifeScores, and we kick things off with a before they were famous Wrong, Dead Wrong. LIKE, SHARE...

46 - The Stephen King
August 20, 2017 22:59 - 1 hour - 127 MBThe King of Stephens: Stephen King. You guessed it - we're Deep Diving the movie adaptations of the literary lad, Stephen King. But not before we play yet another round of Wrong, Dead Wrong including suspenseful, creepy and thrilling facts about The Stephen King. And we talk about the movies we've seen this week in LifeScores... including the long awaited review of Valerian.
45 - Movie Flops
August 13, 2017 12:29 - 1 hour - 119 MBBombs. Flops. Stinkers. That's right, this week we're talking about movie flops. Financial disasters and creative let-downs; we cover it all. But mainly talk about Heaven's Gate and how ridiculous its production was. But not before Olly dazzles with a quiz on movie colons. Hey, why not join in at home? That's right, we closely examine movie colons, in a Seggy One about movies with subtitles. Iain also talks about 35mm and 70mm films in Lifescores. ENJOY!
44 - Action Heroines
August 06, 2017 18:36 - 1 hour - 198 MBThis week Olly and Iain tackle the labyrinthine subject of Action Heroines of the movies. At what could be our longest sode to date we have A LOT to sift through, and sift we do, the wheat from the Lara Crofts (movie version, calm down). Using modern ideation techniques we "dot vote" our way to choose our 4 slash 5 very best Action Heroines, and here's the best bit: YOU DECIDE THE WINNER! WOW! So get voting now on our social media pages and official website. We also quiz each other on ...
43 - Dunkirk and August Movie Previews
July 30, 2017 12:23 - 1 hour - 166 MBOlly and Iain have seen Dunkirk, and - wittingly or unwittingly - they’ve thrown out the rulebook and decided to turn what was meant to be a standard fifteen or twenty minute Seggy One into a forty-five minute ‘analysis’ of the picture itself and the IMAX and 70mm presentations of it. Thus, the 44th episode of Guys on Film will be the first one to see the 4X Deep Dive transformed into a 1X Shallow Paddle. With this little time, you’ll crack your skull on the bottom if you attempt any sort of...
42 - Movie Gender Roles plus Arnold Schwarzenegger - Part 4
July 23, 2017 13:08 - 1 hour - 149 MBHe’s Back. And so are we! The first three episodes of the ‘Arnold Anthology’ clock in at a heady 3 hours 15 minutes, so we knew in this ‘sode we have to make it all count! And we cover a good bit of ground. The Arnold 4x Deep Dive, covers the tantalising period of his movies from 1993’s Last Action Hero, all the way to 2000’s The 6th Day. And that’s NOT ALL! We tackle the subject of the moment - gender re-assignment… on screen. On the heels of Dr Who regenerating as a woman, we think up som...
41 - Christopher Nolan plus Porno Quiz
July 16, 2017 12:58 - 1 hour - 169 MBIn this jam-packed episode Iain and Olly challenge taste and decency in this all-you-can-eat buffet of nonsense; which centres on a high-brow Christopher Nolan 4x Deep Dive for the main course, preceded by the unlikely appetiser combination of “Olly’s Movie Remake Porno Titles Quiz” (the name nobody is calling it, not even we do during the show) for our Seggy One. Add an atmosphere of pain and dread to the mix, due to Iain being afflicted with shingles, and a developing, edge-of-the-seat ‘w...
40 - Michael Bay (BAE)
July 09, 2017 15:07 - 1 hour - 156 MBIn our most combative and sigh-filled podcast to date, Olly and Iain are talking about world-renowned money-generator and idiot filmmaker; Michael Bay. Olly fights for the honour of Bad Boys and Bad Boys II, The Rock and others, whilst Iain sighs and brings up every Bay flaw he can think of. It's an EXPLOSIVE listen, not to be missed! Up first, we provide our timely and useful lookahead to the films of 2037 in Seggy 1. Subscribe... NOW!
39 - Nicole Kidman (KidMania)
July 02, 2017 18:56 - 1 hour - 144 MBIt's make slash break for the Guys on Film scoring system this week. In a lively (argumentative) Seggy 1, Iain and Olly debate (argue) about how films are rated, how they should be rated and what the point of scoring films actually is. And then we give our take on the statuesque, blonde haired (red haired) Nicole Kidman. Also in this episode, Olly claims that notwithstanding his daughter's enjoyment of the gig, he would rate Little Mix as a "7". That's 3 less than him at Judas Priest. So, as ...
38 - Tom Party - Tom Month Part 4
June 25, 2017 20:59 - 1 hour - 148 MBSo, that's it; the end of Tom Month! What a month it has been though! So to celebrate we are inviting all the other movie Toms to a once in a lifetime party... to eat, drink, and be merry. Only... Arnie has decided to be the doorman and is turning some of them away. Who will make it inside the farty submersible? Before we find out you'll first have to hear Iain and Olly talk about the upcoming films for July 2017, and which ones they actually care to see. During this month's Lifescore we d...
37 - Tom Cruise - Tom Month Part 3
June 18, 2017 16:44 - 1 hour - 144 MBHere we are, the most controversial episode yet! We kick things off with a plan for how we would treat Tom Cruise if we got to entertain him for a whole weekend, Olly is worried about the Cruise hyper energy levels and Iain is more concerned with getting him in the right shoes. We have a swift upbeat lifescore then it's straight on to the 4x deep dive, and boy is it deep, we talk the stunts, the antics, the beliefs, and the height of our most notorious but ultimately hard to dislike Tom! WH...
36 - Tom Hardy - Tom Month Part 2
June 11, 2017 15:13 - 1 hour - 161 MBWe barrel into the second week of hashtag Tom Month and this week it's Tom Hardy. We describe our ideal weekend with Tom in Seggy 1, get caught up in mistaken arguments about restaurateurs during Lifescores and Iain makes drugs-based faux pas after drugs-based faux pas in our Tom Hardy 4x Deep Dive.
35 - Tom Hanks - Tom Month Part 1
June 04, 2017 16:55 - 1 hour - 138 MBThis show contains an off-colour joke about flaccidity, shoe-horns, thumbs and a bum hole: listener discretion is advised. THIS. IS. TOM. MONTH. That's right, our month of Tom-based shows finally kicks off, with everyone's sort of film... uncle: Tom Hanks. Olly gets Iain where it hurts by saying he'd do nicer things for Tom Hanks than for Iain when when they visit in a Seggy 1 called "A Weekend with Tom", where - somewhat expectedly - we describe how we'd like to spend a weekend with Tom. Th...
34 - June Preview and Alien: Covenant Review
May 28, 2017 18:33 - 1 hour - 112 MBLet's talk about June movies. We cover our thoughts on Wonder Woman, discuss the merits and "what the hell?"s of The Mummy, look forward to Berlin Syndrome and Bushwick and then everything in between. But we kick things off with our thoughts on Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant in Seggy 1.
33 - Danny Dyer
May 21, 2017 20:15 - 1 hour - 154 MBLend us your f*!&in' King Lear, and get involved with this week's podcast. We're covering the one and only, the crown Prince of modern aggression-based acting, the lord of the movie manor, Danny f*!&in' Dyer! We talk the movies, the cockney rhyming slang and the tin helmet UFO stuff. Be prepared.
32 - Robocop(Robosode)
May 14, 2017 14:20 - 1 hour - 149 MBSomewhere, there is a crime happening. Luckily for you it's not crimes against your ears in this podcast. This week we're covering Paul Verhoeven's 1987 satirical classic, Robocop. In Seggy One, we do alternative "prime directives" and then Iain brings extensive hard copy notes to the 4X Deep Dive. Expect chat on the suit, not wearing trousers, the themes, the violence and the amazing character names. Thank you for your cooperation.
31 - Police Academy
May 07, 2017 11:11 - 1 hour - 140 MBMove it, Move it, Move it! This is the Police Academy episode, and you are the cadet slash listener. Though the knowledge we impart will do little to train you as a cop, and probably very little to educate you on the movies. Joined once again by our ex-pat pal Peter Cater, we work our way through all 7 of the films. But first, we play "True Crime or Movie"; a quiz segment that neither Iain or Olly researched properly.
30 - May Movie Previews
April 30, 2017 19:20 - 1 hour - 151 MBMay the farce be with you. And it is a farce. Olly and Iain get opinionated about the forthcoming movie releases for May... including; Jawbone, Sleepless, A Dog's Purpose, The Wall, Alien: Covenant and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Some of them MAY even be worth seeing in the cinema! But first, they review the latest Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Aftermath. We also add a new catchy jingle for any OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS.
29 - Dystopian Movies
April 23, 2017 17:55 - 1 hour - 127 MBOnce again, we use our tried and tested technique of "aiming to cover a huge subject and actually covering a tiny part". This week, on dystopian movies! So we go fine-grain on 2002's Equilibrium, 2005's V for Vendetta, and then skirt around the key details on some of the genre's classics. Up first is a haphazardly arranged Seggy 1, where we decide which film-related gripes are worthy of "Screen 101". Olly also struggles with the definition of "dystopia" with hilarious/ harrowing consequences.
28 - Free Fire with Ben Wheatley
April 16, 2017 22:30 - 1 hour - 115 MBWe only went and got a real interview with a director; and it was long enough that it wasn't just a minisode! This week we discuss Free Fire, video games, roast chicken dinners and rolling up trousers. Ben Wheatley, director of Kill List, High Rise and most recently Free Fire gives Iain a call to talk about the film, how he's been inspired by video games and baffles Iain with some basic video gaming history/ knowledge.
27 - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Part 3
April 10, 2017 00:37 - 1 hour - 118 MBWe're back. In the third of our Arnold Schwarzenegger deep dives, we find ways to lollygag and avoid getting through the subject matter once again. Rather than get into the subject and cover his nineties outings in a work-like, efficient fashion, we instead spend extended periods doing impressions, one-liners and Iain helps Olly with some of his cinema woes. And we sort of talk to some degree about Predator, Twins, Total Recall and Kindergarten Cop.
26 - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Part 2
April 02, 2017 20:28 - 1 hour - 122 MBThat's right, we vaguely suggested "we'd be back", and here we are. This week we go all out Schwarzenegger by ditching seggy one and just cutting straight to the chase. We talk up the best bits of Terminator, the embarrassing promos for Red Sonja and cover Red Heat as we go through Arnold's "golden years". Olly also hits Iain with a bunch of one liner ad-lib scenarios.
25 - Arnold Schwarzenegger
March 26, 2017 12:16 - 1 hour - 117 MBWhen we said we'd do the Arnie episode last... we lied. We've taken the plunge and have gone ahead and done a deep-dive on Schwarzenegger. In reality, we barely scratch the sound-dampening-cyborg-skin's surface; so treat this as a mere taste of what's to come in Arnie 'sode's. Also in this episode: we talk about movie body counts in Seggy one, and Iain has a Coventry-based weekend from hell.
24 - Scottish Films
March 19, 2017 18:05 - 1 hour - 160 MBGet your Irn Bru at the ready, relax as you remove your underwear from beneath your kilt and sonically prepare yourself for our Scottish Films episode. We dive into some of our favourites, including (but not limited to); Local Hero, Braveheart, Trainspotting, Gregory's Girl and Highlander. But first things first, we play our first ever game of Higher or Lower, as Iain guesses the cost of C-list celebrity autographs.
23 - Olly's Birthday
March 12, 2017 17:50 - 1 hour - 162 MBCommiserations. You've made it to our twenty-third episode. And Olly has made it to his thirty-eighth year. Join us as we apologise for a formidable error (this episode was alternatively titled "the Danny Dyer and Batmans Debacle") and get some very special guests for our You the Viewer (spoiler: Olly's kids). Then, behold - the insight that the movie industry has been waiting for: Olly presents his top 10 movies from the year of our lord, 1980.
22 - Presidents
March 06, 2017 03:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBMy fellow Americans, and literally any podcast listener anywhere - this is the Guys on Film 'Presidents' special. But this is less voting, policy and congress and a little more Gerard Butler, typecast terrorists and fictional executive orders. And that's NOT all. We have friend of the podcast Tim take the 'You the Viewer' interview, which we deliver to you it its full, twenty minute, unedited glory.
21 - Housekeeping
February 26, 2017 12:44 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBNo, you're wrong. This is not just a "Housekeeping" episode because we're completely out of ideas. No, instead this is a veritable jamboree of forgotten anecdotes, additional stories and missed opportunities at off-track banter collated from our first 21 (yes, that's twenty-one) episodes! Wonder as we revisit wrestling. Gasp with joy as we get angry a second time about cinema-goers' behaviour with food at the movies. It's a must listen. So now... you must listen.
20 - JCVD - Chapter 1
February 19, 2017 12:39 - 1 hour - 79 MBThink you know Jean-Claude Van Damme? Well maybe you do, but we’re here to spend a podcast talking about him and his movies anyway. We cover the go-to plot structures, the splits, the “A-OK” and everything in between. And Iain almost has a stroke trying to describe T2: Transpotting. Enjoy!
