First to Die

A delayed podcast that can ONLY be blamed on Jake, this month we dive into Rian Johnson's modern day who-dunnit-hit Knives Out. 
Old sleepy Jake has a thing or two to say but it's Tom who brings you the juicy yummy goods this episode, so sit down, grab a cigar and listen closely...for we have eliminated no suspects!

Episode one of season four drops with a rumble and a tumble, featuring the 2013 Richard Curtis film About Time. 
Jake is back to his old tricks, picking films to pour his heart out over. Tom loves to pick holes, and hopefully everyone leaves feeling warm and fuzzy and ever, ever so British!

The name's Bond, James Bond. We finally get around to talking about the titular British spy, and for the season finale it's a first and worst to die in the Daniel Craig era kicked off so spectacularly with Casino Royale.
What better time to look back on an epic saga that at the end of the year, with many ranked countdowns, strong opinions, martini cocktails, and fantastic deaths. Cheers.

After a break we're back for the penultimate episode of season three, watching Tom Cruise run around a lot trying to prevent the future in Minority Report. 
Once again analysing Steven "Playmountain" Spielberg to the extreme and questioning the grime of both star and scenery, this is a fun ride for a movie that just turned 20 years old.

This month we discuss a horror masterclass with Alfred Hitchcock and Psycho. There's a lot to say about the infamous shower scene that has seeped into popular culture and been recreated, parodied and deconstructed for the last 60 years. 
When you stay at the Bates Motel, make sure you don't upset Mother!

In a change of pace to our usual ramblings, this week we're looking at the fairytale drama A Monster Calls. We'll be discussing the big underlying themes, dealing with losing a family member and most importantly The Monster's distractingly nice butt. 

On this months episode we rewatch American Beauty and find ourselves experiencing the story in a very different way than 20 plus years ago. We attempt to talk through the challenging subject matter and ruminate on homosexual depiction in filmmaking and media. Tune in for a deeper dive.

As promised, we're looking at Shallow Grave from Danny Boyle this month. 
It's a general cacophony of random tangents from the boys whilst they sip on G&T's to discuss Ewan McGregor, hiding a body and what a million pounds looks like. 

A gothic fairytale set in suburban America is the topic of discussion this week when Tom and Jake break down Edward Scissorhands. 
When exactly did Tim Burton lose his touch? Is Johnny Depp attractive? How many F2D titles have porn parody versions? 
All these questions and more are answered within the 60 minutes runtime, so don't hesitate...listen now!

We're turning the lights down low, lighting some candles and surrounding ourselves with Jake's pants, as we dive into David Robert Mitchell's terrifying It Follows.
Join us as we discuss retro scares, existential dread and really really scary tall men in hallways.

There's so much to discuss on this episode we need to talk at the speed of light just to get everything in!
Join us on a deep dive into the sci-fi indulgences of Chris Nolan's Interstellar, where we're deconstructing that UTTERLY avoidable first death and chatting it up on just about every other detail too.

Bottoms up as we talk immortality, ground breaking special FX and argue whether this is Bruce Willis at his acting best, in the Robert Zemeckis directed Death Becomes Her.

WE KNOW WHO WE ARE! We're the dudes watching the dude, playin' the dude, disguised as the other dude on this weeks podcast...you still with us? It's Tropic Thunder!
There's talk of meta madness, Hollywood excess, comedy prestige and we break down that incredible A-list cast.

Can you feel the love tonight? How about the sting of a dearly departed King trampled to death too soon? We get emotional, pick some beloved songs to sing badly AND swear far too often for a Disney episode this week whilst we break down The Lion King. 
Come on, have a listen - you know you want to!

Metaphorically wrap your arms around us as we turn down the lights, put on the Isley Brothers and canoodle around the microphone to talk about 90’s supernatural romantic-comedy, Ghost.

J-horror fans rejoice as this week we're discussing Ringu, the film where a creepy girl who really needs a haircut looks at you strangely enough you die of fright!
Phone's ring, there's some giggling and we get creeped the hell out. You don't have to be psychic to realise this is gonna be a great episode.
