    Older Discourse: Mr Beast's Sad Life, Godzilla Minus One's Absence & DreaFans

    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2024 for a bonus tier, Carl and Tony revisit YouTube sensation Mr Beast, whose life feels a searing indictment on the world he inhabits. Plus! Godzilla Minus One seemed to be unavailable so they discuss the ephermeral nature of cinema currently. And finally, Drea di Matteo has joined OnlyFans. Around celebrating, they discuss this platform and how it might be a democratising thing...

    Older Discourse: The Dull Men's Club, Gen Z Irritation, Dadcasting & Political Swiftcourse

    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2024 for a bonus tier, Tony invites Carl to the seemingly insulting 'Dull Men's Club' as they discuss the growing phenomenon of dull men. Plus! Gen Z are getting Tony's back up, but why? And are they much different from our pair of Millenials? Also! They tackle the growing trend of 'Dadcasting', which they surely must fall into. And finally, in what is now some outdated political commentary, they can't help tackling some Swiftcourse...

    Valentine's Discourse: Sex Scenes in Movies, Age Gaps & Memorable Movie Weddings

    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this hot stuff of an episode, originally recorded in 2023 for a bonus tier, Tony and Carl discuss the growing prurience around sex scenes in movies, coming (oo er) from unlikely sources. Plus! Leonardo DiCaprio and his age gaps are at work again so they wonder about whether these remain as key in cinema as they once did.

    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2023 for a bonus tier, Tony and Carl discuss the recent trend of men constantly obsessing about Ancient Rome, which leads to a taxing quiz. Plus! Both guys for some reason decided to watch each content maker on a YouTube rich list, with enlightening but depressing results. And finally, that saucy TV strumpet Naked Attraction has caused a right stir in the U.S., so they wonder what's up with getting all flustered about some T&A...

    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2023 for a bonus tier, Tony and Carl see what happens when they let Chat GPT write the show, and wonder whether surrendering to the algorithm is worth doing after all.
