Gary Oldman is one of the undisputed greatest living actors of all time. He is well known for being able to embody any role and unique voice that when he fully commits, he disappears into the role where sometimes as the audience you don' t recognise him at all. We talk through his personal life with the struggles he has endured as well as his victories. We take a whistle stop tour of his greatest roles and movies he has been part of; from hidden gems, to huge franchises which makes you realise the quality and body of work he has mastered is beyond exceptional. All this and he is still such a down to earth, funny guy which makes you appreciate his acting even more especially in the 90s when all he did was play 'The Bad Guy'. He is very cool and worthy of great respect in the movie industry.

This is a fun conversation on behind the scenes of the writing and creative process. We discuss working on The Apprentice for the last few years as well as other Reality TV programmes like Geordie Shore. The amount of work and juxtaposition between the creative control of them both. We start on how Jonny and Kev met working on his short film 'Ethel' starring Miriam Margolyes, Professor Green and previous guest Elijah Baker (from Episode 59) and then discuss Jonnys many ideas for new short films and features including the behind the scenes of his pitch to producers. We love having a guest on so knowledgable and full of interesting and fun stories, therefore we know you will enjoy listening to this him too.

Be Warned: This is a spoiler review. James is excited to talk about 28 Years Later but we try to discuss the first 2 films from 2002 and 2007 to put the new movie into context. This new movie has really divided opinions including the 3 of us. We enjoyed the experience, but question many of the choices on plot and cinematography.

Kirstie runs an Instagram page called 'Kirstie's Weekly Revue' which has insightful and funny reviews of new movies. She with Kev and Rage Whale take part in a friendly online community of movie reviewers who talk and share thoughts in respectful ways. We discuss her thoughts on recent releases of 2025 and then about her job as a Radio DJ for Radio Warrington especially with Eurovision 2025 currently happening. Kirstie is very charismatic and funny leading to some great conversations around Marvel, Trailers, Nostalgia and the emotional and controversial scenes in Disney Cartoons.

Drews friend from their younger years working as an Usher at Theatres in London who went on to work with esteemed Theatre Directors tells us many interesting stories about that world as well as working with a huge number of high calibre actors in the movie industry.

Paul Bullion, star of the final Mission Impossible movie in the franchise joins us again (appeared first Episode 92). Now it has been out in the cinema for a few weeks he is able to talk freely about his role, what happened on set, what he learned and the experience of working with the greatest movie star alive. We enjoy listening to his many stories and also discuss the older films of Tom Cruise and the impact 80s movies still have on us today. We end with a fun quiz on the movie and what Tom Cruise has lined up next. It was a thrill to see Paul up on the big screen toe to toe with Tom and we expect more great things from him in the future and wish him all the success.

Emma, our personal Therapist and Kate, our regular guest, both of which are part of the Rage Whale family (and in some of our more listened to episodes) join us to celebrate our 100th episode and the end of Season 1. Emma provides us with a Friendship Quiz which is lots of fun and gives us plenty to discuss. Kev also has a Quiz on the stats and figures from the podcast itself, followed by a movie quiz on actors. This was an enjoyable and loose conversation where we just enjoyed each other's company. Thanks for sticking with us...onwards to Season 2...

We talk through our photoshoot day. The first time we've seen each other in person for many years.
