  1. Episode 108: Backrooms, Internet-Era Horror & Films about Memory

    20 Jun

    Episode 108: Backrooms, Internet-Era Horror & Films about Memory

    This week sees Ben and Danny pause their endless wanderings through a liminal maze to rest up in a tastefully designed living room and discuss Backrooms. They also talk about how the internet has become a breeding ground not only for filmmaking but also for a new kind of horror mythology born from the darkness and uncertainty in everyday life.

  2. Episode 107: Rose of Nevada & Films About the Demise of Community

    21 May

    Episode 107: Rose of Nevada & Films About the Demise of Community

    This week sees Ben and Danny temporarily trade the masturbatory-tinged gloominess of the latter's living room for a slicker, more purpose-built affair. Spurred on by an uncharacteristic visual and auditory slickness, the boys wax lyrically about Mark Jenkin's Rose of Nevada. They also discuss films that centre on the loss of community, culture and identity in the face of technological innovation and the resulting socio-economic shifts that leave so many in the rear-view mirror.

  3. Episode 106: Michael & The Musical Biopic

    19 May

    Episode 106: Michael & The Musical Biopic

    This week sees Ben and Danny dig out the dimonte gloves before wading into the formulaic borefest that has become the musical biopic. They unpack how their narratively familiar nature exists to recontextualise the legacy of beloved musicians, often to the detriment of the artist's original intentions.

  4. Episode 105: Project Hail Mary & Sci-Fi Apocalypse

    2 May

    Episode 105: Project Hail Mary & Sci-Fi Apocalypse

    This week sees Ben and Danny eventually discuss Sci-Fi smash hit Project Hail Mary - how it reinvigorates the sci-fi genre with a sense of optimism that, although saccharine, is a welcome recalibration of ideas around human collaboration in geopolitically turbulent times.

  5. Episode 104: The Secret Agent, I’m Still Here & Authoritarian Regimes in Film

    20 Apr

    Episode 104: The Secret Agent, I’m Still Here & Authoritarian Regimes in Film

    This week sees Ben and Danny reflect on another gem from 2025: The Secret Agent. Alongside discussing films that focus on living in and resisting dystopian and authoritarian regimes, they also discuss another Brazilian Award Season favourite (and winner), I'm Still Here.

  6. Episode 103: The Bride, Genre Film & the 2026 Oscars

    8 Apr

    Episode 103: The Bride, Genre Film & the 2026 Oscars

    This week (or a few weeks ago, if we are honest) sees a shadow-drenched Ben and Danny discuss The Bride. Alongside discussing Gyllenhaal's previous film, they discuss the various genres that make up her attempt to modernise Shelley's seminal horror classic. They also quickly mop up the 2026 Oscars results, focusing especially on the fraccas surrounding the run-up to the best actor award and Michael B. Jordan's deserved victory.

  7. Episode 102: Sirât & Cinematic Tension

    24 Mar

    Episode 102: Sirât & Cinematic Tension

    This week sees Ben and Danny venture into the sun-scarred pre-apocalyptic landscapes of Oliver Laxe's Sirat. The preceding discussion focuses on films that seek to foster nail-biting tension, from Sorcerer and Wages of Fear (two clear influences on Laxe), to wartime conspiracy thrillers and sweltering courtroom dramas.

    1hr 7min
  8. Episode 101: Wuthering Heights & The Films of Emerald Fennell

    12 Mar

    Episode 101: Wuthering Heights & The Films of Emerald Fennell

    This week sees Ben and Danny (rather belatedly) discuss Wuthering Heights. They discuss the thematic and formal preoccupations that make up her body of work before musing on the challenges of literary adaptations and just how beholden filmmakers should be to the text they are bringing to the big screen.
