In this episode of 15 | A Film Review Podcast, Luke Oddie and Dan Wade review two of the most eagerly anticipated films of 2023.
To start, the pair get stuck into Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. Set in 1920s Oklahoma, it focuses on a series of murders of Osage members after oil was discovered on tribal land. The epic Western starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone has received rave reviews from the cognoscente, but will the boys agree?
Then, Luke and Dan move onto David Fincher's The Killer. Based on the French graphic novel series, it follows the titular assassin as he embarks on an international vendetta after a hit goes wrong. As well as Michael Fassbender, the picture features Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Kerry O'Malley, and Tilda Swinton. As Luke fanboys over Fincher's latest offering, Dan isn't as keen.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
