    Venice, LFF, and the films worth your time - plus the one World War II movie that actually feels new.

    Send us Fan Mail Neil and Tom are back with a packed catch-up that jumps from holiday gossip and celebrity brush-ins straight into the films, festivals, and surprises shaping the season. If you want to know what to watch next, what to skip, and what everyone will be arguing about at Venice and the BFI London Film Festival, this is the episode to hear first. Tom comes in hot with reactions to Camp Miasma, the horror comedy that completely won him over, and Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, which he says is far more entertaining in IMAX than any music doc has a right to be. He also makes the case for Pressure, a D-Day thriller that stands out by turning the weather itself into the enemy, with Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser going head-to-head in a 72-hour race against disaster. Neil brings two very different films into the mix: One Night Only, the rom-com built around a wild sex-law premise, and The Dog Stars, Ridley Scott’s slow-burn post-pandemic drama with Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, Josh Brolin, and Alison Janney. The conversation gets into what works, what doesn’t, and why some films are unfairly judged for being exactly what they set out to be. You’ll discover: why Camp Miasma is being called a wild, gory love letter to slasher movieswhy Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger works best on the biggest screen possiblewhat makes Pressure feel like a fresh take on WWII cinemawhy One Night Only is a pure “three-star” crowd-pleaserwhether The Dog Stars deserves its rough reviews or just needs the right audienceThen the episode opens up into a bigger festival conversation, with Venice, London, awards-season buzz, and a look at the films already generating heat - including Prime Target, Danny Boyle’s AI-tinged new project, and the movies Neil is most excited to catch at LFF. There’s also the usual healthy amount of debate about Ridley Scott, Night Shyamalan, box office math, streaming habits, and why some films are better in the cinema than at home.
