Talk About Film: Jumping The Shark

Mark and Taylor discuss the 1990 classic gangster movie helmed by Martin Scorsese. They also discuss F-Bombs, improv and who’s got the biggest dick in Hollywood.

Mark & Taylor take on the first (made) Star Wars movie. It’s packed with facts, popcorn recommendations, games you can play in public bathrooms and everything you ever wanted to know about Lightsabers!

Mark and Taylor get deep into this weeks movie The Shining! Mark is a Kubrick super fan so get ready for a whole bunch of facts! There are confessions and diet problems galore, so pour a glass of REDRUM because HEEEEEERRRREEEEE’S JOHNNNNY! MISTAKE ALERT: Mark says Jennifer Hudson at one point but means Jennifer Lawrence. Thank you to Sarah James for noticing!

Mark and Taylor discuss nostalgic classic Stand By Me. SPOILER ALERT: Details about the plot are discussed in detail as well as cool facts about the making of the movie. MISTAKE ALERT: In this recording we accidentally refer to Chris Chambers as being Ace’s brother. He is in fact Eyeball’s brother. Whoops! Thank you to listener Natalie Marlow for the correction!

STRONG LANGUAGE WARNING: If you're here because you've seen this movie, the occasional F bomb probably doesn't bother you. Mark & Taylor discuss the film in great detail as well as the wider issues it explores and the use of profanity throughout the script. Mark drops a LOT of naughty words, so if you're easily offended, get a grip of yourself and grow up. This is Pulp Fiction.
