Film Shapes Film Shapes

Shady and Roly are joined by Ben and Merv - with Parizad in subspace - to go over their favourite five films of 2023. We also provided our worst - or most disappointing - films from last year. Top fives were as follows:

Ben: 5. Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves; 4. May December; 3. Killers of the Flower Moon; 2. Blackberry; 1. How to Blow Up a Pipeline - Roly: 5. Decadence and Downfall: The World's Most Expensive Party; 4. Last and First Men; 3. Talk to Me; 2. Leave the World Behind; 1. Dream Scenario - Parizad: 5. Hudson Hawk; 4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; 3.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves; 2. The Whale; 1. Living - Merv: 5. Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves; 4. John Wick 4; 3. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One; 2. Babylon; 1. Oppenheimer - Shady: 5. The Old Oak; 4. Aftersun; 3. The Boy and the Heron; 2. Babylon; 1. Saltburn.

Roly and Shady walk to the car from The Luna Cinema in Leederville after a screening of Foe. Fair to say, Shady gets a couple of things wrong in this pod and also reveals a staggeringly unpro lack of knowledge. Roly mostly gets away unscathed:)

Parizad joins Roly and Shady to discuss many things related to Gareth Edwards's new film, The Creator. Stay tuned for a post-outro contribution by Merv.

Merv and Parizad join Roly and Shady for a discussion about the latest Christopher Nolan film, Oppenheimer. Fair to say, opinions varied.

Shady is joined by Roly, Parizad and Merv to postulate on the latest Guardians of the Galaxy film; as well as the MCU in general; going to the cinema alone; Avatar 2; Ivan Sen's Limbo; cinema volume levels; Barton Fink; and apples (again).

Merv and Shady get stuck in a carpark and then have a chat about November, a film about the days following the terror attacks in Paris in 2015. There's also a mini-wrap of the 2023 French Film Festival.
