S1: Oscars 2022 reaction

Say no more (Mon Amour) and have a listen as we discuss experiences of retail work, our single/album/vinyl buying firsts, and this mad grab bag of a 90s movie. We have a Patreon!

This week we finally release our long promised episode with Irish writer/director extraordinaire Kate Dolan where she is the last one to see The Matrix. Given the technology theme of the movie, I had ChatGPT generate an episode blurb. I’m willing to bet with a strong degree of confidence that we’re not in a simulation if this is the best that AI can deliver on the prompt “write a 200 word blurb, full of puns, about the movie The Matrix for a podcast episode where we watch it with a guest who has never seen it”: Are you ready to enter the Matrix? On this week's episode of our podcast, we're joined by a special guest who has never seen this iconic sci-fi film before. So grab your shades, strap in, and get ready to take the red pill with us! The Matrix is a movie that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about reality. It's full of mind-bending special effects that'll have you dodging bullets and jumping over buildings like a superhero. And with some of the most quotable lines in movie history, it's bound to be a wild ride! But don't worry if you're a bit green when it comes to The Matrix – we'll guide you through the ins and outs of this classic film. We'll explore the philosophical themes that underpin the story, from the nature of existence to the limits of free will. So if you're ready to plug into the Matrix and take on the machines, join us for this week's episode of our podcast! It's going to be an action-packed journey through a world where anything is possible, and where nothing is as it seems. Not only is this episode coming to you months later than originally scheduled - our previously promised season one closing episode - it was further delayed by a busy run-up to Oscars weekend (and the ensuing jet-lag-like feeling David is experiencing staying up to watch it). The pre- and post-watch recordings with Kate Dolan were recorded around this time last year and our episode intro and outro last week. Patreon!

Between talking about imagination-led childhoods full of dinosaurs (and rewatching what you had access to), entering a franchise through its spin-off properties, wanting to lead a #JusticeForSarabi campaign, calling out Mustafa for his Jeff-Bezos-like billionaire complex, disputing the originality of our story in question (nods to both Hamlet and Kimba The White Lion) and Disney villain gaze gays, this episode leaves no stone left unturned on Pride Rock. And you will definitely not want to miss the big surprise that comes in the outro. This one's a very special episode...

It’s been 84 years… Well not quite. The ship of dreams is taking to the high seas once again as Titanic sails into cinemas for her 25th anniversary. What better time to climb aboard this cultural juggernaut and see if it remains a first class experience. We wanted to go to a real party so not one but two guests embarked on this transatlantic crossing with us. A mathematical certainty of a good time.

We thawed out our mics to record another holiday special - this time Kate and David react to Lindsay Lohan’s festive Netflix outing - FALLING FOR CHRISTMAS - and in light of the other topic du jour that we were glued to recently, we dissect the Sicilian antics of THE WHITE LOTUS S2.

Time to find out if this podcast does indeed go to 11 as we take a timely trip back to 1984 (no that one) with our Last One to See, Andrea Cleary, to confirm if what goes on tour stays on tour and if OG mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap still rocks today.

OK, so this may not be a title that rings familiar to a lot of folks. But hear us out! The Last One To See wasn’t conceived with the idea that everyone everyone has seen each of the selections, and Sarah very much understood the assignment (and Alan willingly agreed to go along with it) with the selection of BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER - a queer classic and rare entry in the lesbian teen movie genre that saw a 20th anniversary re-release in 2020. As mentioned, Alan and Sarah are our guests this week and you may know their work from the fantastic Juvenalia podcast.

Fresh off Macron’s electoral victory, it couldn’t be a more fitting week for our francophile episode where we are joined by author, prolific tweeter and Letterboxd logger extraordinaire, Cethan Leahy, who is the last one to see a movie that neither Kate nor David could remember the fine details of prior to a rewatch - AMÉLIE (or if you wanna drop the pretentious full title ‘Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain’). 🇫🇷 🥖🗼 🥐 Films mentioned throughout the episode: https://letterboxd.com/thelastonetosee/list/the-last-one-to-see-ep10-amelie-with-cethan/ Support us on Patreon!
