Ballout 4 Ballout 4

In the first episode of Ballout 4 recorded remotely, we watch Sofia Coppola's "Lost In Translation" and The Safdie Brothers' "Good Time". We also discuss the ongoing Corona epidemic, sad films, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now. 

In the final pre lockdown episode of Ballout 4, we are joined by special guest Liam to discuss the original Bourne Trilogy. In addition, we discuss the Corona virus, balding, the Minecraft guy being weird, and the 2000's.

In Episode 5 of Ballout 4 we discuss Parasite and the other oscar winners, before pivoting to forgotten 2004 remake "Flight of the Phoenix". The ensuing conversation sounds more like a taut psychological thriller than a friendly conversation at certain points, thanks to the almighty ire of Jake. I have left it unexpurgated, and trust you, dear listener, to come to your own conclusions.

In the fourth episode of Ballout 4 we discuss 1917, Uncut Gems, and reprehensible early noughties comedy Shallow Hal. We also discuss Adam Sandlers career, cultural shifts in comedy, why women find Jack Black attractive, and whether the Neverending Story is good or awful (it's awful).

In episode 3 of Ballout 4, it fell upon me (Oliver) to pick a surprise film for the others. I stumped for Cats, under the mistaken belief that it would be funny, rather than just terrible and annoying. But what can you do. When my cohosts aren't stewing with anger over my choice, we discuss Tom Hooper's career, comedians who make travel shows, Idris Elba, CGI, the value of plot and some other stuff.

In episode 2 of Ballout 4 the gang christen the podcast, before discussing Star Wars, Roger Ebert, and Adults who get upset about pop culture online.
