Christmas Special 2024

We don’t know about you, but Richard is flabbered and Greg is gasted that this is our Tenth Christmas Episode! As usual, they review three Christmas films in search of that special seasonal something. Two films are liked more by one reviewer than the other – whereas the third is universally found wanting, sadly. This last outcome is likely to be a wee bit controversial. As is perhaps the source of their disagreement about one of the others.Last Train to Christmas (2021) https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-xmas-trainHow to Make Gravy (2024) https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-xmas-gravyA Boy Called Christmas (2021) https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-xmas-boy

S05 E06: Sleeping with Leonard

Richard and Greg grew up admiring one US and three Australian movie reviewers. Back in 2019, US-based Leonard Maltin was asked by “The Movies That Made me” podcast to pick movies from each decade of the past century that he wished were better known. Richard and Greg dare to pick up Maltin’s mantle to review three of these “sleeper” films for themselves (with apologies to Mrs Maltin for our presumption in naming this episode…)House of Games (1987) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-06-games Pollyanna (1960) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-06-pollyanna The Last Command (1928) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-06-command OTHER RESOURCESPodcast in which Leonard Maltin picks movies more people should know about https://tinyurl.com/maltin2019

S05 E05: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Richard and Greg choose a film for three modes of transport (somehow forgetting about the 1987 Steve Martin / John Candy film). Although the films are scattered across the 20th Century, our reviewers find that all stand up well to the test of time – suggesting that this episode should have been called “Transports of Delight”. But which film had “the most obnoxious movie kids ever seen”…?Flying High! / Airplane!

FM/FW Mini E04: Gladiator 2

Quo Vadis? To see the new Gladiator film! They may not have swords or togas, but Richard and Greg make the pilgrimage to a newish Melbourne cinema to see an ancient-ish Roman story. What did they think? Is it thumbs-up or thumbs-down? (And if it’s thumbs-down, does director Ridley Scott get thrown to the lions…?) You know that there’s only one way to find out: kick your sandals off and hit the Play button.Gladiator 2 (2024) https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-minisode-04

S05 E04: Bad Films Ain't The Only Hollywood Crimes

Our reviewers take on three crime films set in Hollywood across the latter half of the 20th Century. Greg admits to watching his first-ever Tarantino film. If that’s not crime enough, Richard corners him into summarising the plot of David Lynch’s mystifying “Mulholland Drive”. But Greg triumphs by bringing a credible explanation to the table that could possibly involve goldfish on a casting couch. Or does he…?Hollywoodland (2006) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-04-woodland Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-04-time Mulholland Drive (2001) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-04-mulholland

S05 E03: Kiwi Films

Richard and Greg jump across the local “pond” from Australia to review three New Zealand films from world-renowned directors Lee Tamahori, Peter Jackson and Taika Waititi. While they have similar responses to two of these films, our film reviewers are (South?) poles apart for the third. Not to worry! For Greg brings a “Kiwi moviegoer’s sensation on a stick” into Richard’s life, revived from a past Roman holiday.Once Were Warriors (1994) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-03-warriors The Frighteners (1996) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-03-frighteners Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-03-hunt

S05 E02: And Then There Were Nuns

AND THEN THERE WERE NUNS. Richard and Greg “get the movie habit” by inviting a professional nun (Auntie Marie) to discuss Nun Films. She shares her joys and deeper reflections for a comedy and then a drama. But, like the Holy Trinity, we always do things in threes. For her final choice (a nun-free film), Greg notes that “Not many people would expect a nun to love a film with mob murders and ladies of doubtful moral virtue”. Which film is it? Let’s just say that the sting is in the tale…Sister Act (1992) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-02-sister Dead Man Walking (1995) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-02-walking Plus a nun-free film (click in to find out)

FM/FW Mini E03: Joker – Folie à Deux

Following Broadway and TV precedents, DC Comics has just released its first musical feature film. But it might not be the best idea for DC Fanboy Greg to see the new Joker film with the not-terribly-comical Richard… Are they inspired to sing along with Lady Gaga? Will Greg take the opportunity to get Richard doing the “Batusi” dance in the aisles? And what exactly would the Joker sing – would it be too obvious to have “Send in the Clowns”, “Funny Face” or “These Clown Boots are Made for Walking”?Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-minisode-03
