    'Angels With Even Filthier Souls' (From 'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York')

    'Angels With Even Filthier Souls' (From 'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York')

    For our SEASON ONE FINALE, we're tackling our first ever sequel: ANGELS WITH EVEN FILTHIER SOULS, from HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK. Johnny's back for another incredibly violent instalment in the Angels franchise. And not only do we have to come up with a whole movie, we also have to remember the entire plot that we concocted for the original movie, all the way back in episode one of the podcast. We rise to the challenge and cook up possibly the first ever sequel in cinema history, featuring approximately seventy different crime families!

    'Heart of the Desert' (from 'Sex and the City 2') with Guy Montgomery

    'Heart of the Desert' (from 'Sex and the City 2') with Guy Montgomery

    This week we're joined by GUY MONTGOMERY, a man with incredibly intimate knowledge of the film SEX AND THE CITY 2 which is where we spotted HEART OF THE DESERT. We spend way too long talking about Sex and the City 2 before remembering that we have to work out an entire plot based on a poster that shows a ripped soldier in the desert, holding a young boy in camouflage. Who's the boy? Why does the poster look so cheap? And which is the better tourist destination: Abu Dhabi or New Zealand? Pour yourself a glass of wine, tune in, and find out!

    'Helix' (from 'Notting Hill')

    'Helix' (from 'Notting Hill')

    Fresh from our press junket with Horse and Hound magazine, this week we're tackling HELIX from the classic rom com NOTTING HILL! Other than the fact that it's set in space and that it features a psychotic flesh-eating robot, we know basically nothing about Anna Scott's latest movie, so get ready for us to charmingly fumble our way through the plot of this sci-fi blockbuster, Hugh Grant style.

    'Hold Your Horses: Riding High In The Saddle' (From 'Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse) with Becky Lucas

    'Hold Your Horses: Riding High In The Saddle' (From 'Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse) with Becky Lucas

    We’re hitting the track this week with special guest BECKY LUCAS, to break down the Seth Rogen vehicle ‘HOLD YOUR HORSES: RIDING HIGH IN THE SADDLE’ - a sequel to a film which ALSO doesn’t exist. We try to work out where things have been left in the previous film and then we get to work plotting out an epic screenplay involving a magical horse, a glue factory owner, a big climactic horse race and of course: plenty of weed smoking.

    'Rochelle, Rochelle' (from 'Seinfeld') with Gareth Reynolds

    'Rochelle, Rochelle' (from 'Seinfeld') with Gareth Reynolds

    We’re going arthouse this week, with a very special guest: GARETH REYNOLDS from The Dollop! ROCHELLE, ROCHELLE appears frequently throughout the course of SEINFELD - a titilating piece of cinema and critical darling which eventually receives the honour of a Broadway musical adaption starring Bette Midler. We all know that it’s about a young girl’s strange erotic journey from Milan to Minsk, but have you ever stopped to think about just how long the journey from Milan to Minsk is? Huh? Have you ever bothered even putting those two destinations into Google Maps and seeing how long that would take? Well we have, and we’re going to tell you exactly what Rochelle gets up to on her travels, in vivid detail.

    'Chubby Rain' (from 'Bowfinger')

    'Chubby Rain' (from 'Bowfinger')

    We’re back for SEASON TWO of Hollywood Phonies, kicking off with the heartiest fake movie concept we’ve ever taken on: CHUBBY RAIN from BOWFINGER. Not just a fake movie in the background of one scene, a fake movie which has an ENTIRE real movie based around it. We see heaps of scenes from Chubby Rain in Bowfinger but there’s still a lot of unanswered questions about this sci-fi thriller about aliens who come to earth in rain drops. We'll be deep diving into the plutonium industry, the CIA colluding with alien life-forms and of course, Heather Graham's characters racy rewrites of the script. Gotcha, suckers!

Really fun

Really creative idea and is really fun to hear them work backwards to come up with these fake movies

dirtiest mike ,

Underrated

These guys are so funny and so far the pod is killer. Really loved Tommy being overtly on the nose in Ep 3. Will check out anything these guys make

CamShafted ,

It’s a Wrap!

Give these gentlemen 5 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Filth Boys have done it again.
