    The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring Pt 2

    The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring Pt 2

    This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas continue their journey with the epic trilogy that is Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY!
    Join us, as we pick up with Part 2 of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, where we dive into the story of the film, discuss a bit of how the trilogy was made, how the film differed from the books, and how it performed at the box office. And of course there is lots of discussion of plot holes and other general immaturity you have come to expect from us.
    Is this the greatest trilogy of all time? Sound off in the comments on Spotify or leave a review on Apple Podcast to let us know your favourite Trilogy, and join us as we return with The Two Towers in August...

    The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring Pt 1

    The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring Pt 1

    This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas begin the tasks of tackling one of the greatest trilogies of all-time – a collection of films that always show at The PCC, that we have somehow never talked about – Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY!
    Join us, as over the next few months, we'll dive into each film from the trilogy adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's high-fantasy novel series, kicking off first with THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. This will be our first two-parter episode, as this week we will dive into the history of the series, it's prior attempts at getting made, and how Peter Jackson got the series off the ground. We'll be back next week with Part 2, as we dive deeper into this film. The following two films will be single episodes released on a monthly basis.
    So grab your precious and come listen to us talk about people walking for a very long time...

    Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga with Ed Mannion

    Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga with Ed Mannion

    This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas present a little bonus episode, and are joined by long-time cinema staff member, filmmaker, and returning guest, Ed Mannion!
    Join us, as we chat about Ed's upcoming new film THE HEDGE, and George Miller's return to the Mad Max world with the Fury Road spin-off film, FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA. We dive into all the bits we loved, question if Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy are big enough stars to get people to come see them, and why this film was a box office bomb. Also, who knows, maybe we even spitball ideas for a sequel to Tommy Wisea's THE ROOM...

    BREADCRUMBS – Brony Bob Thornton

    BREADCRUMBS – Brony Bob Thornton

    There was more to Billy Bob Thornton's phobias than we could even imagine. The man is a freak, who believes that mythical dragons existed, and are still roaming the world in the form of the Komodo dragon. When he's not looking over his shoulders, fearing that today just might be the day that a Komodo dragon attacks, he is probably going to be found watching his favourite TV show, My Little Pony. The man is a confirmed Brony. But let's just hope that's not all he's doing in his spare time...

    Monkeying around with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (PREVIEW)

    Monkeying around with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (PREVIEW)

    This is a sample clip from our Patreon feed. If you'd like to hear this episode in its entirety and more episodes like it, subscribe for as little as $1 per month over at patreon.com/thepccpodcast
    In this bonus edition of The Pod Charles Cinecast, your hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get into some monkey madness, as they talk about two big blockbusters involving lots and lots of apes!
    First up, Jonathan unveils his beef with the latest GODZILLA x KONG movie. Then, we get into a film series near and dear to Fil's heart, as we chat KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. We dive into the highs and the lows of the film, the greater franchise as a whole, and what we could see from future instalments.
    Of course, as with most of these episodes about new films, we start complaining about the state of Hollywood and how we are stuck in sequel, reboot, prequel, legacy sequel hell. But, what are you gonna do? Hollywood gives you big ape movies. You go see them!
    "Are you familiar with the concept of evolution? In their time, humans were capable of many great things. They could fly, like eagles fly. They could speak across oceans. But now, it is our time... and it is my kingdom. We will learn. Apes will learn. I will learn. And I... will conquer."

Keep it real with Jonathan and Fil

Always sharp, fun and insightful. Come for the film chat end up falling in love with the dynamic. It’s a joy to spot the weekly De Palma reference.

I’ve just discovered this little gem of a podcast and have moved it straight on to my Stay Up To Date list.

The two hour The Room special just flew by and felt very personal as to date it’s the only film I’ve seen at the cinema (twice)

I look forward to finally catching up and maybe getting one of those memberships they occasionally mention...
