Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
August 22, 2019 08:21 - 1 hour - 54.5 MBAfter much dilly-dallying, thumb-twirling and window watching the day has finally arrived! Our hosts don their thinking caps and take a stab (sorry) at dressing down Quentin Tarantino's 9th film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. The boys talk about the movie, Manson, QT himself, his penchant for podiatry and the effort required in keeping things cool. Enjoy!
The Refn Challenge Vol. 3
August 18, 2019 09:28 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBThe saga comes to a close. Our brave hosts conclude their deliberately convoluted foray into the unfiltered id of Nicolas Winding Refn by watching his Amazon series Too Old To Die Young out of order. And after panning for that Refn gold for about 15 hrs; fate finally saw fit to reward our boys with an episode really worth remembering.... next up Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Hobbs And Shaw (feat. Jam and Anand)
August 11, 2019 10:35 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBWelcome to a very special Forever Movie Boys where, in the spirit of family, our hosts invite their Uso's Jamison and Anand on to discuss the much anticipated, ultimately disappointing Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. Full disclosure, our mic quality's been better, but the company hasn't so there's the trade-off! next episode we complete the Refn challenge.
True Romance
August 07, 2019 03:52 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBSorry FMBuffs, our hosts got their wires crossed and muddled up their release dates for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. As penance for their gaff, the boys decided to turn the dial back and do some early Tarantino with Tony Scott's True Romance. This being an episode via correspondence meant some technical issues that resulted in the episode wrapping up earlier than desired, but regardless, Maciej and Tobias walk away with their appetites whetted for some future QT.
Crawl
July 30, 2019 11:56 - 1 hour - 42 MBTwo Animal-themed releases in the same week had the boys spoilt for choice, so the FMB decided to throw a couple of dollars at the movie they felt needed it more (sorry anyone expecting a Lion King ep, not this year). And boy when it comes to Alexandre Aja's "Crawl" our hosts landed themselves a pleasant surprise. The boys clearly had a blast and it shows as they breeze through an episode as lean and clean as the film itself. this episode would have you believe we're watching Once Upon...
The Refn Challenge: Volume 2
July 21, 2019 05:19 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBJoin the FMB as they continue their meandering, randomised quest through the episodes of Nicolas Winding Refn's Amazon series Too Old To Die Young. As they crawl over the halfway mark of the series and the balance shifts to providing more answers than questions, the boys find that maybe they're starting to enjoy themselves a little... next episode the FMB watch Crawl.
Spider-man: Far From Home
July 14, 2019 10:16 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBJoin the FMB this week as they take a break from the Refn challenge to see Phase 4 of the Marvel Universe out with Jon Watts' second Spider-Man film: "Far From Home". Maybe it's cause Spidey's still a kid, but our hosts pull their punches a little this time around try to see the bright side of things for once; an attempt aided by strong performances from leads Holland, Gyllenhaal and Zendaya. next week they boys reluctantly dive back into Nicolas Winding Refn's psyche.
The Refn Challenge: Volume 1
July 07, 2019 13:23 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBFollow the FMB into the mind of Nicolas Winding Refn (and Ed Brubaker) as they deliberately obfuscate the experience of viewing Amazon's Too Old To Die Young, by watching it out of order... possibly in the pursuit of some kind of artistic apotheosis. Takeoff is glacial and the boys suffer some whiplash after opening with Volume 8 and then having to walk themselves back to episodes 1 and 2, but there is some impeccably composed gold in them hills, even if it feels a little sparse.. Next...
ANNOUNCEMENT: The Refn Challenge
June 28, 2019 05:37 - 8 minutes - 5.75 MBOur hosts announce their upcoming episode series on Nicolas Winding Refn's groundbreaking televisual masterwork Too Old To Die Young. Encouraged by NWR's chutzpah, the boys have decided on a slightly more unique approach to ingesting the show...
Sydney Film Fest 2019 (Part 2)
June 25, 2019 12:49 - 1 hour - 61 MBSo it's been a week since the Sydney Film Fest, so Tobias and Maciej kick their feet up and reminisce over Discord about their experiences during the second week of programming. Brief aside's are given to The Dead Don't Die and vintage screening The Golem, but the lion's share of the conversation goes to Bong Joon Ho's Palme D'Or winner Parasite and Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir. Next episode our boys take on the Refn challenge.
Sydney Film Festival 2019 (Part 1)
June 16, 2019 11:40 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBJoin our hosts this episode as they pick over the meagre handful of films they managed to see in the first week of the 2019 Sydney Film Festival. Lip service is paid to the documentary Anthropocene and Clare Denis' High Life, but the meat goes to the films that both hosts manages to attend and those were Jennifer Kent's sophomore effort "The Nightingale" and Ben Wheatley's surprising little entry "Happy New Year Colin Burstead. Join us next week for whatever our hosts made time for dur...
Godzilla II: King Of The Monsters (Feat. Saleem)
June 08, 2019 05:37 - 1 hour - 52.3 MBThis episode, the FMB reluctantly cover the sequel to Legendary's Godzilla 2014 at special guest, Saleem's insistence. They boys power through this episode with the energy of kids in detention, but their guest makes the proceedings considerably lighter and the hosts have fun with discussion about previous iterations of Godzilla himself and wild speculation on the what the inevitable sequel may have in store. Enjoy!
Aladdin (2019)
June 04, 2019 05:02 - 1 hour - 46.8 MBHey hey FMBuffs; this week our hosts sit down and sift through Disney's new Aladdin remake desperately hoping to find slivers of Director Guy Ritchie's trademark style. In that regard it's slim pickings, but the boys pad the episode by comparing the remake to the original, musing on the Disney remake craze in general and briefly touching on the idea of a Jeremy Piven Genie. next episode we have Godzilla: King Of The Monsters lined up with a guest!
John Wick 3: Parabellum
May 26, 2019 02:44 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBJoin our hosts this week as they muse over the third instalment in Chad Stahelski's John Wick series. As usual when discussing movie franchises, the boys open it up to talk about the series as a whole and a healthy amount of attention is paid to parts 1 and 2. Conversational tangents include mangled impressions of Lance Reddick, mangled non-binary pronouns and the video game Quantum Break. *apologies folks, mic trouble means one half of our hosts sounds like he has a bucket over his he...
James Bond Extravaganza Part V (Feat. Nick and Mackie)
May 16, 2019 07:14 - 2 hours - 107 MBThis is it FMBuffs, after approximately 10 hours, our hosts: Tobias, Maciej, and their guests: Nick and Mathew, have reached the end of their marathon James Bond series with acting-007 Daniel Craig. The boys bring it home with some spirited discourse about Craig's output and the survivability of Bond as a character, but really it seems like they've just been waiting to take a huge dump on Spectre. Which they do with aplomb. Bond Trivia also closes out with a nerve-shredding knockout rou...
James Bond Extravaganza Part IV (Feat. Nick and Mackie)
May 08, 2019 03:53 - 2 hours - 88.6 MBAlmost there folks; after a small break, the FMB and guests, Nick and Mackie, return to the James Bond series with an episode dedicated to Pierce Brosnan's time in the chair. The boys run the gamut of Pierce's career as 007, from Goldeneye to Die Another Day, allowing them to fine-tune their Brosnan impressions to perfection. As always, the boys underscore the discussion with a tense bout of 007 trivia. Next episode we finish up the series with the Daniel Craig years.
Avengers: Endgame
April 28, 2019 04:27 - 2 hours - 100 MBWe interrupt our still-running Bond series to jump in on a admittedly landmark moment in cinematic history. The Marvel Cinematic universe reaches it's epic conclusion and the Forever Movie Boys are here to help you process your thoughts on the film. Spoilers abound as the boys deconstruct this film to an almost atomic level in an admittedly bittersweet discussion essentially about the trade-off between narrative cohesion, marketing choices and pleasing the crowd.
James Bond Extravaganza Part III (Feat. Nick and Mackie)
April 22, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 68.6 MBThe FMB and guests, Nick and Mathew continue on their quest to unpack every Bond film ever made. In this episode, the boys find themselves covering the transition from Roger Moore's preternatural tenure as 007 to Timothy Dalton's cynical take on the debonair super-spy. And as usual they punctuate their musings with some good-old fashioned Bond trivia. next week we take a break from Bond to close out the Marvel saga with Avengers Endgame.
James Bond Extravaganza Part II (Feat. Nick and Mackie)
April 12, 2019 03:34 - 2 hours - 84.7 MBDry those martini's, friends! In part 2 of our multi-part examination of the James Bond series, we take a look at the turbulent attempts made post-Connery to have the franchise survive the 1970's. From Lazenby to early Moore, our hosts, along with guests Nick and Mathew continue the discussion while continuing to rack up points in James Bond Trivia. Next episode, Roger Moore's epoch comes to a close and Timothy Dalton steps forward.
James Bond Extravaganza Part I (feat. Nick and Mackie)
April 08, 2019 06:08 - 1 hour - 70 MBWelcome to the first in a multi-episode breakdown of all things James Bond featuring your favourite hosts, the FMB and their two esteemed guests: Nick Virgona and Matthew Mackie! They cover the Sean Connery years this episode, but also set the stage for general 007 talk, ranging from the rampant misogyny to the correct implementation of the Bond Car. Our hosts also pit their Bond knowledge against that of their guests in the only arena it could be of any use: by indulging in some Bond Tri...
Glengarry Glen Ross
March 24, 2019 02:20 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBThis week, Maciej strong-arms Tobias into finally watching the David Mamet/James Foley classic Glengarry Glen Ross. Our hosts start off strong, front-loading the episode with dense Glengarry talk, but derail the conversation halfway. The boys instead theorise about the interior decoration of Brian DePalma's bedroom and Tobias gets his intense hatred for Neil Blomkamp off his chest. Next week we will be making an appearance on the ATEBITCAST talking about god knows what. Stay tuned!
Captain Marvel
March 16, 2019 06:35 - 1 hour - 46.8 MBWe're just over a month away from Avengers: Endgame's release and Marvel have still found the time and energy to stick a funnel in our gullets and give us a lil' apertif in the form of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's Captain Marvel. Our hosts are feeling the superhero fatigue a little and the whole thing feels a little familiar, but they try to give the film it's due and Tobias manages to somehow invoke the wrath of James Cameron. Next week: Glengarry Glen Ross
KIng Arthur: Legend Of The Sword
March 11, 2019 07:11 - 1 hour - 56 MBAfter the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, our two hosts settle back into their usual rhythm with some low-hanging fruit in the form of Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. They're enthusiasm for this film is palpable, but perhaps it's just a contact high from this clearly amphetamine-fuelled abomination. Colin Firth gets a mention for some reason and the boys offer a tantalising glimpse into their upcoming Bond episode. next episode, Disney comes knocking with Captain Marvel
The 91st Academy Awards (Feat. Sean)
March 03, 2019 10:29 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBForgotten the Oscars already? Well let the FMB and guest, Sean refresh your memories with their breakdown of the ceremony. Join them as they attempt to scry the results before watching and then have an alcohol-assisted post-ceremony debrief covering the triumphs and heartbreaks found in the proceedings. Next week King Arthur: Legend of The Sword/Robin Hood (?)
Roma, The Favourite, Vice
February 24, 2019 10:44 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBThe end is in sight friends. Our hosts catch a second wind in the Oscar race and manage to catch up on every film nominated for Best Picture this year (BlackkKlansman missed out on an ep though, sorry Spike). The boys try to give each film a fair shake, but truth be told they really hold their tongues and roll their sleeves up for lucky last, Vice (sorry Adam). Next episode: The 91st Academy Awards.
