This time we delve into Thomas Vinterberg's gentle Another Round, a film about some droopy dads getting various degrees of pissed. Plus Sam reviews Black Widow, a film most people have probably already forgotten exists. We also have a conversation about the Matrix trilogy and the sex rave we all remember fondly from the second one, and resist the Disney Corporation's attempts to trick us into a nostalgic connection to the latest Spider-Man.

A rare transmission from Film Chat finds us reviewing Oscar-winning thriller Promising Young Woman, which did not speak to this podcast's male hosts. We also check out the wacky four-hour "Synder cut" of Justice League, surely the longest, greyest, and most rubble-filled superhero film ever made. Plus, we applaud the social media presence of Antony Hopkins and we look at upcoming projects from Rian Johnson and Joe Cornish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In line with our predictable, regular, and timely production schedule, the latest episode of Film Chat is here! We're releasing it just after the Oscars, but we know what our listeners really want to hear - our review of Wonder Woman 1984. Everyone's talking about it, everyone's thinking about it, and now you get to hear our take. Don't miss out!PLUS!! We hold forth on Netflix's Bridgerton, a vibrant period romance with a lot of sexy boxing and heaving bosoms, and we chat about forthcoming projects from Noah Baumbach and Darren Aronofsky. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this extremely belated episode of Film Chat we review Soul, the latest film from Pixar which combines their two interests - madcap buddy comedy shenanigans and deep metaphysical ruminations.We then openly laugh at cultural hate crime/film Wild Mountain Thyme which, if nothing else, is a strong contender for weirdest third act twist ever.AND we find time to deliver a blistering hot take on the cultural juggernaut Hamilton a mere 6 years after it was first staged.

Quick!!!! If you stick this episode on within minutes of it uploading, you can still ring in the New Year with this podcast on in the background!! Bid goodnight to 2020 with Sam and Danny, as they look over what has unquestionably been a weird and not particularly good year. Most of a top 10 films of the year is assembled, Christmas viewing highlights are discussed, some lovely messages from listeners are read out, and the question of which teapot from Disney's Beauty and the Beast films is the sexiest is addressed.

On this episode we review David Fincher's latest film, Mank, in which everyone's favourite old man, Gary Oldman plays the legendary screenwriter Herman J Mankiewicz. In the pantheon of Netflix movies is it better than The Irishman or worse than The Princess Switch: Switched Again? Tune in to find out.Plus we look at the frankly insane number of project Disney has announced and wonder what it is that has gotten Lord Christopher Nolan in a real tizz. Hosted on Acast.

Our latest episode sneaking out gives our listeners a chance to play another game of "When Did We Record This?" Under the microscope this time are a double dose of political Sacha Baron Cohen movies that between them are probably responsible for Biden's election victory. Well done Sacha!!In The Trial of the Chicago Seven, ultra-liberal ultra-patriot Aaron Sorkin dramatises the true story of a group of left-wing protestors accused of "conspiracy to riot" at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The result is Sorkin's most watchable effort for quite some time, even though he almost certainly once yelled "get a job" at someone just because they were bearded and not wearing a suit. Meanwhile, Danny reviews Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. This comedy sequel sees Sacha Baron Cohen stick it to the Cheeto-in-Chief the best way he can, adopting a somewhat racist accent and getting into some very awkward situations. Hosted on Acast.
