Rich and Jimmy Watch a Film

WHO YOU GONNA CALL……This month we are going on a very nice little nostalgia journey and revisiting one of our favourite films - 1984s GHOSTBUSTERS.Join us as we delve into our shared love for this absolute gem of a film. Full disclosure - we spend a lot of time praising everything in this film, and we do try to find a couple of things to critique but it's just so hard! So listen in as we go over everything from the sublime comedy, incredible cast, the amazing score and the varying quality of effects! As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

NOBODY TRUSTS ANYBODY ANYMORE…..This week we’re taking a break from the normal format and taking the show on the road! We’re in London's West End at the world famous Prince Charles Cinema for a screening of John Carpenter's “The Thing”!We discuss the amazing special effects, some of the more baffling choices of equipment for arctic researchers, and Jimmy pretty much just gushes about his favourite film and director. There is a nice little backstory to this film as well that ties into the whole start of the show so there are some nice little takeaways sprinkled throughout! There’s also some references to an idea we had for “Re-MAY-ke” month that never materialized, but maybe next year!As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

On this very, very, special episode we watch the upcoming, multiple award winning, Indie Short; LizzieHead! As the film is still yet to be released publicly we couldn’t give too much away in the episode but we are extremely lucky to be joined on the episode by writer, producer, director MW Daniels, and lead actor Charlotte Gould, who take us through the process of creating a short film.It’s a wonderful exploration of the passion and creativity involved in seeing a project like filmmaking through to completion and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did, or even better: find something to take away from the discussions!#lizziehead #shortfilm #comedy #indiefilm #awardwinningshort #quirky #offbeat #richandjimmy

WHOAH, THAT’S A BIG PLANE……This week we’re releasing the long-lost episode covering the wonderfully silly, disaster flick - 2012! (A film not known for its quotes).We originally recorded this around the 1 year anniversary of the show (happy belated birthday to us!), and we had a myriad of issues with the recording from recorders dying and wiping audio from the SD cards to forgetting to hit record! There’s also a host of gimmicks and references from older formats that all come together to make an episode as mad and chaotic as the Apocalypse! So…. enjoy ?As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

YOU’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT…..In the second part of our “Lost Episodes” series we’re looking at the original Summer blockbuster and the movie that made swimming scary- JAWS!This episode was recorded in 2023 around the 1 year anniversary of the show and we spend the first part reminiscing about some favorite parts of the show up until this point! Afterwards, we discuss the immaculate filmmaking employed by Spielberg, its legendary status in film  history and the incredible score (which does sometimes go to odd places).As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

I WILL FEAST ON YOUR SOUL!We’re kicking off our “Lost Episodes” series and going back in our time machine to bring back the best from the vaults!In this episode we’re covering the 2013 “Evil  Dead” - we chat about the unsettling realism of the gore and effects, how the film (while being very good) is a heavy watch and question whether it could do with a dose of levity like the originals.As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

HE’S NOT THE MESSIAH……You know the rest! Just in time for Easter, we’re covering the all-time comedy classic “Life of Brian”. We discuss the worldwide effect of the Monty Python group, the amazing silliness of the film and its genius deconstruction of the themes and subjects of organized religion. As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM…..This week we are looking at the wonderfully chilling, British anthology film; “Ghost Stories”, from 2017.We discuss the evolution of the premise from a stage show to film, the brilliant cast and their performances, why we consider many scenes in this to be some of the most tense put on film (until they aren’t), and dive head first into a raft of theories and ideas on the overall narrative and the endless list of bread crumbs the film leaves for you.PLEASE NOTE: The after film chat section of this episode contains complete and heavy spoilers for the end of the film, and we strongly recommend that you watch the movie first, to avoid having it ruined!As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.
