Guys on Film Podcast guysonfilmpodcast

After two long, cold years in the deep freeze, we’re thawing out the podcast for a grand return (or a last hurrah?) to talk about COLD MOVIES.
In this episode…
Despite two year’s worth of life to catch up on, Olly is keen to make LIFESCORES as quick as possible. So naturally we talk at length about moving house, observing soccer live in a stadium, and one of the Guys on Film team gets a promotion to "Wife of the Podcast". As well as the low-down on our favourite flicks from the two years we've been on ice.
In SEGGY ONE Iain gets put through his football (soccer league ball) paces in a sporting quiz.
And in the main event, it's a 4X DEEP DIVE, or is that… 4X DEEP FREEZE? You’ll want to pack a jumper as we chat about 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, the visual allure of blood on snow, the crisis of conscience for the survivors in ALIVE and a host of other chilly films like DUMB AND DUMBER and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008, original and best)
Enjoy!

In the first episode of 2021, we’re examining Friends in Movies! What does that mean? Well we didn’t know either - as Olly researched buddy movies and Iain researched the cast of F.R.I.E.N.D.S in their silver screen careers. The result? A collection of terse, scathing comments from Olly about how Iain got things so wrong, and a whole lot of Friend-related banter!
 
First, Iain and Olly put their own friendship to the test in a variant on the 'newlywed' game. We pitch each other on Friends-themed movies in Seggy 1, and in the Deep Dive, we get into Olly’s top movie friendships, Iain’s harrowing experience with the Jennifer Aniston movie The Switch and we judge what Matthew Perry’s chances in pugilistic combat are, in Bing Bing Bing - Round 1.
 
Of course, we have the regular LifeScores™ and top it all off on a disaster performance on the Name Game. Enjoy!

In the wake of the news of Sir Sean Connery’s passing, we take a look (listen) at the cinematic accents that hit and missed the mark. Set accents to stun and banter quality to ‘medium’ - it's another Guys on Film podcast!
In Seggy 1, we lift the nation’s spirits with “Everything’s Going to be OK” where we explore iconic films, if everything was just… alright. In LifeScores™, Oliver tells us about his spangly new PlayStation 5 and awakens a line of dialogue from Pet Sematary. But really it's all about the main event, where we cover some of the best and worst accents in Hollywood and Iain gives expert analysis of Hollywood’s attempts at the Holy Grail of accents: Scottish. 
Stay tuned right ‘til the end for a cry-laugh Robert-focussed Name Game.
Enjoy!

It’s October. It can mean only one thing: it’s the not-quite-annual Guys on Film Halloween Spooktacular! 
In this episode, we break from our traditional Deep Dive on a movie-related topic and bring you a rapid-fire succession of lovingly-crafted segments on spooky and scary topics! You guessed it, we’re calling it a CreepDive! Featuring Olly talking about films that genuinely scared him and why, Iain asking you whether it's Argento or ArgentNO and a Name Game for the ages.
But before all that Olly interviews Iain for a mystery job, and we give you our LifeScores™.

Grab your microwaved popcorn and pretend to tear a ticket-stub, it’s the Home Cinema episode of Guys on Film podcast! The cinemas are still mainly shut, so we thought it wise to deep dive on the current best alternative: Home Cinema!




In this week’s Seggy One, Olly quizzes Iain on movie running times in another stonking “Higher or Lower”…  Or is that stinking? In LifeScores we hear how Iain and Olly are doing in pandemic times and a bit about their recent viewing habits; including a re-watch of The Matrix and setting off on the journey that is the IMDB Top 250 movies watch-list.




And in our Deep Dive, we talk about inflatable projection screens, whether sorting out your audio at home is worth the hassle, and Iain unconvincingly tells us that pixels don’t matter. Oh, and Olly completely forgets to discuss VR home cinema, despite thesis-level research and preparation.




ENJOY!

We could’ve gone the easy route and recorded another Outbreak Movies. We could’ve gone for a depressing soirée through Isolation Movies. But in these UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, we gave YOU the choice (wow) and you opted for something to lift the mood (not the Lockdown) with this week’s episode: Feel Good Movies!

Olly kicks it off with a suitably depressing Seggy 1, where we learn the price waning celebrities are willing to provide personalised messages for in a game of Higher or Lower? Iain is ready and willing to give it his best shot.

In LifeScores, we learn how Olly and Iain are getting on with hunkering down and…

… In our deep dive, we give you (slightly more than) 5 of our top Feel Good movies each. We cover it all; from Studio Ghibli to Disney classics through Olly trying to convince us that The Truman Show isn’t sinister. We’ve got it all!

And stay tuned for the name game. It almost entertains every time!

ENJOY.
