  • Strange Darling
    Dec 3 2025

    Matt once again tries a movie Ben has never seen before and it can't really go much worse than 'The Harder They Fall'... right??? Tune your radios to Big Foot Stories, cook the most unholy meal imaginable and let's negotiate the terms of this encounter, shall we?


    (The Arrested Development trivia Matt was thinking of is that Michael Cera and Liza Minelli never shared a scene so in Season 4, George Michael claims "I don't know the woman.")

  • The Taste of Things
    Nov 26 2025

    Demonstrating why they don't generally record at night, Ben & Matt have gone pretty insane in this episode as they give the world's worst descriptions of Cannes and how to eat Ortolans. Whatever, man, I got hungry just writing the caption.

    Nov 12 2025

    For the first time in the history of the podcast Matt took zero notes and tried to match Ben's 'off the dome' acumen... and he simply could not have picked a worse episode given the various twists and turns at play in this Korean detective tale. Open up your translator apps, takes some voice notes on your smart watch and lets climb the expert route of podcasting together.

    You think you know The Lion King? You know nothing of The Lion King. Oh, sorry, Hamlet. You know nothing of Hamlet.


    Crawl into our weird shamanic chamber, start howling like a wolf, and learn all about Olde English Oral Tradition, Bjork's film career and of course unique Icelandic apps.

  • The Batman
    Oct 29 2025

    It seems Matt truly can just have everything he wants as he follows up on his most controversial selection ever last week with truly exhaustive detail on The Batman, resulting in one of our longest episodes ever. Sorry, Ben.


    This is a first for this particular podcast, which used to have a 'No Capes' rule, but we tossed most of these restrictions out for this volume, which means the floodgates really burst as we get into one of fiction's most enduring characters, the career of Matt Reeves, the various influences of this movie and its messy development history and try and solve some riddles together.


    Pack a lunch!

  • The Harder They Fall
    Oct 22 2025

    The tradition continues as Matt brings his annual eyebrow raising pick for Ben to politely tear apart. That's right it's time to talk the Netflixification of film, why everyone is so clean and what the heck has happened to most of these actors' careers as we talk The Harder They Fall.

    Oct 15 2025

    Come and listen to two idiots locked in a life-long grudge talking about two idiots with a life-long grudge. Who's to say which pair are less qualified to talk about the subject matter, really? At least there's insane costuming and accent choices to lighten the tone!
