This week on S&A Lindsay and Rachel Marie swoon over the chemistry. It's a Double of George Cukor's The Philadelphia (1940) & Nora Ephron's You've Got Mail (1998).
This is not only a Double of some Romantic Comedy with some of the most charismatic actors to grace the silver screen. Honestly we mainly thirst over Cary Grant.
But also about the rules of engagment. How the rules of dating, relationships and society often meld i...
This week on S&A Lindsay, Gabe Bergmoser & Justin Anderson play around with history. With a Double of Gregor Jordon's Ned Kelly (2003) & Justin Kurzel's The True History of the Kell Gang (2019). Who was Ned Kelly and how has been portrayed in film since his death in 1880. He is either one of the great villains or heroes in Australian Colonial History. Also really inventive with putting a quick amour together in a pinch.

This week on S&A Lindsay and film critic Nadine Whitney take a look at a story of two different film makers. The Journey Man and the Auteur and how they tell the same story. J. Lee Thompson's Cape Fear (1962) & Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear (1991). Two very different versions of the cigar chomping Max Caddy.
And not as many Simpson's references as you think.

This week on S&A Lindsay and Blind Spots Host Dan Grima Dream about Cage. With a Nicolas Cage Double of Lorcan Finnegans' The Surfer (2024) & Kristoffer Borglis' Dream Scenario (2023)
This a a Double of later era Cage in a weirdo phase. Deconstructing personalities and types of masculinity you would absolutely give side eye to. The desire to be cool and to belong. But doing it all the wrong way.
