Film Chat

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.

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.

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.

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.
