Rather than indulging in daily phone calls, best mates, Luke Oddie and Dan Wade have decided to withhold their friendship to exactly once a week. Now, they just hit record and broadcast their mutual decline to the public. Expect idiosyncratic banter, petty grievances, and hyper-fixations on the most insignificant of things. It’s unsupervised, unfiltered and unedited. One day, their unborn children will listen back to these recordings in absolute horror. Until then, enjoy the diminishing returns.

    Jimmy Tarbuck, Stealing Pebbles & The Ugliest Man Alive

    This week, Dan treated his mum to a night out at the Corby Cube to watch Jimmy Tarbuck die on stage. Which, given the man’s age, is a genuine possibility most evenings. Meanwhile, Luke has been hosting his dad and embarking on a minor, highly localised crime spree to steal pebbles from the village green. Plus, the boys dive into the mechanics of drag queen names, the art of making terrible banana bread on purpose, and the identity of the ugliest man alive.

    Shower Etiquette, Polish Porn & Late Night Bread Pudding

    After Luke, a former Head of Podcasts, literally forgot to hit record on last week's catch-up, the lads are forced to dial in and try again. Over the past week, Dan has embarked on a new weight-loss journey. Unfortunately, this health kick primarily involves him getting completely naked in the communal swimming baths and eating bread pudding at midnight. Meanwhile, Luke is convinced he’s stumbled across a former colleague on a highly questionable Polish adult site. Plus, the boys discuss transvestites, ‘Slag-atha Christie’, fingerless gloves, and whether Dan could pull off having his ears pierced.

    Train Kebabs, Spaffing Jelly Beans & The Rick Stein of Sri Lanka

    In the inaugural episode of the new format, Luke and Dan immediately set a low bar for what constitutes a podcast. Luke recounts his failed attempt to starve himself into a tailor-made Vietnamese suit for the Grand National. Naturally, this health kick devolves into grand-scale ice cream larceny, a £250 panic-bet, and shameful train kebabs. Meanwhile, Dan shares the highlight of his adrenaline-fuelled week: watching Saturday Kitchen. Plus, the boys tackle the logistics of spaffing jelly beans, Hilary Devey’s abysmal taste in music, and why Kenneth Williams forced his dinner guests to defecate into Tupperware.

    Celebrity MasterChef

    Luke and Dan return with their most baffling creative choice yet: a running commentary of a Celebrity MasterChef Christmas special from three years ago. They offer zero context, hurl abuse at Gregg Wallace, and skip so many scenes that an hour-long TV episode miraculously fits into a 39-minute podcast. The result? The sonic personification of a brain aneurysm.

    Superbad

    After a suspiciously long “creative hiatus” (AKA laziness), Luke and Dan return with a brand new challenge: to review every film on The New York Times’ Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century list. They’re starting from the bottom (as Dan likes to do) with No. 100: Superbad. A film about teenage chaos, codependency and catastrophic social skills. I wonder why it resonates with Dan so much. The boys are back. The takes are bad. The films are good (hopefully). Here's the New York Times 100 Greatest Movies of the 21st Century list.

    BlackBerry and Anatomy of a Fall

    In the latest episode of 15 | A Film Review Podcast, Luke and Dan continue to watch some of the most acclaimed films of 2023. The pair of films they review in full this week are BlackBerry and Anatomy of a Fall. Matt Johnson's BlackBerry is a fictional account of the creation of the BlackBerry line of mobile phones by co-founders Douglas Fregin and Mike Lazaridis, and investor Jim Balsillie, played by Johnson, Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton respectively. The Oscar-nominated Anatomy of a Fall is a French legal drama, directed by Justine Triet, that stars Sandra Hüller as a writer trying to prove her innocence in her husband's death. At the 76th Cannes Film Festival, it won the Palme d'Or and has also gained significant international success, winning two Golden Globes, and being nominated for seven BAFTAs and five Oscars.

  8. Wonka, Saltburn and Theater Camp

    Wonka, Saltburn and Theater Camp

    This time on 15, Luke and Dan rattle off their reviews for three recent films that they should have got round to critiquing sooner. Firstly, Luke gets frustrated by Wonka, the musical fantasy film directed by Paul King, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby. The picture tells the origins of Willy Wonka,  featuring his early days as a chocolatier. Starring Timothée Chalamet as the title character, and with an ensemble cast including Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant, it is the third live-action film based on Roald Dahl's novel. Next up is the film that grabbed everyone's attention, Saltburn. Emerald Fennel's second offering is black comedy psychological thriller featuring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant. The film focuses on a student at Oxford University who becomes fixated with a popular, aristocratic student who later invites him to spend the summer at his eccentric family's estate. Then, after a handy tip off from Luke, the pair discuss Theater Camp, a 2023 American mockumentary comedy film directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman. The movie follows the counsellors of an underfunded theatre-focused summer camp as they band together with the founder's son to keep the camp afloat. To wrap up the show, they agree to quickly review two extra films that the other has no interest in seeing. Dan shares his disappointment with Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Whereas Luke recommends Air, the film that's based on true events about the origin of Air Jordan, a basketball shoe-line.
