    Medias Res (2017): They Lost Half the Movie… Then NASA Got Involved | Filmmaker Interview

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you’re making an independent movie and suddenly more than half of it could be gone forever? For this special episode of Just That Film, Ben and Charlie are joined by Medias Res creators Edwin and Delaney to tell the incredible story behind the making of Medias Res (2017). They take us right back to how the film came together, the challenges of getting an independent feature made, and the moment disaster struck when a hard drive containing a huge amount of the movie crashed. The footage couldn’t be recovered. More than half of the film was potentially gone. And then, somehow, NASA got involved. 🚀 Edwin and Delaney reveal how somebody from NASA eventually managed to recover the lost material, saving footage they thought they might never see again. We also dig into the making of Medias Res, the creative decisions behind the film, the realities of independent filmmaking and some brilliant behind-the-scenes stories from Edwin and Delaney. Plus, Ben and Charlie give their thoughts on the movie itself. 🎬 Film: Medias Res (2017) 🎤 Guests: Edwin & Delaney 🎙️ Hosts: Ben & Charlie 🍿 Podcast: Just That Film If you enjoy hearing the stories behind how movies actually get made, follow Just That Film for more film reviews, filmmaker interviews and conversations with the people behind the movies.

    Evil Dead vs Evil Dead II: One of Us Thinks a Horror Classic Is Overrated! 🪓

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we’re settling one of horror’s greatest debates: Evil Dead or Evil Dead II? Sam Raimi’s groundbreaking horror classics changed the genre forever, launching Bruce Campbell’s legendary Ash Williams and introducing audiences to the terrifying Deadites. But which film deserves to be crowned the ultimate Evil Dead experience? We compare The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987), discussing everything from the relentless horror of the original to the outrageous blend of comedy, gore, and slapstick that made the sequel a cult phenomenon. Along the way we examine Bruce Campbell’s iconic performance, Sam Raimi’s inventive direction, the astonishing low-budget filmmaking, Tom Sullivan’s incredible practical effects, Joseph LoDuca’s unforgettable scores, and the lasting influence both films have had on horror cinema. Will the raw terror and DIY spirit of the original win out, or does Evil Dead II’s bigger budget, wild humour, and unforgettable set pieces make it the superior film? 🎬 Topics include: • The Evil Dead vs Evil Dead II • Which film is scarier? • Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams • Sam Raimi’s unique directing style • The evolution of the Deadites • The legendary practical effects and gore • Favourite kills, scares, and one-liners • Which film deserves to be called the ultimate Evil Dead? 🎙️ Join the debate and let us know which side you’re on: Team Evil Dead or Team Evil Dead II?

    The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) | Remembering Dolly Parton ❤️

    Send us Fan Mail ❤️ This week, Just That Film remembers the one and only Dolly Parton. Following the sad news of Dolly’s passing, Ben, Charlie and Lilly celebrate her remarkable life, career and unmistakable personality by revisiting one of her most memorable movies: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982). Directed by Colin Higgins and based on the hit Broadway musical, the film stars Dolly as Miss Mona Stangley, the warm-hearted proprietor of the legendary Chicken Ranch, alongside Burt Reynolds as Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd. When crusading television reporter Melvin P. Thorpe, played by Dom DeLuise, decides to expose the Chicken Ranch and have it closed down, Mona and Ed Earl find themselves caught between politics, publicity, romance and a whole lot of Texas-sized chaos. We discuss Dolly’s performance, her chemistry with Burt Reynolds, the film’s outrageous comedy, its spectacular musical numbers, and the scene-stealing Charles Durning as the Governor of Texas. We also get into the story behind I Will Always Love You, why Dolly re-recorded it for the movie, Hard Candy Christmas, deleted songs and scenes, the real-life Chicken Ranch, the turbulent production, and why Dolly herself later admitted that making the movie had been a difficult experience. And, of course, we ask the big question: Does The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas still hold up more than 40 years later? More importantly, this episode is our opportunity to celebrate Dolly herself: the singer, songwriter, actress, philanthropist and extraordinary entertainer whose music, humour and warmth touched generations. From 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias to Jolene, Coat of Many Colors and I Will Always Love You, there really was nobody quite like Dolly Parton. ❤️ Rest in peace, Dolly. Thank you for the music, the movies and the memories. 🎬 Just That Film Podcast with Ben & Charlie Classic movies, forgotten favourites, cult curiosities and plenty of debate. What’s your favourite Dolly Parton film or song? Let us know. Find us on: YouTube, TikTok & Instagram. Email justthatfilm@gmail.com

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we revisit Torch Song Trilogy (1988), the moving comedy-drama that brought Harvey Fierstein’s acclaimed Broadway play to the big screen with warmth, wit, and remarkable emotional honesty. Directed by Paul Bogart and adapted by Harvey Fierstein from his Tony Award-winning play, the film stars Harvey Fierstein as Arnold Beckoff, a New York drag performer searching for lasting love, acceptance, and the family he’s always dreamed of. The outstanding cast also includes Anne Bancroft, Matthew Broderick, Brian Kerwin, Eddie Castrodad, Karen Young, and Estelle Getty. We discuss Harvey Fierstein’s unforgettable performance and screenplay, Anne Bancroft’s powerful portrayal of Arnold’s mother, the film’s balance of humour and heartbreak, and its sensitive exploration of love, grief, identity, prejudice, and chosen family. We also look at the film’s importance as one of the first major Hollywood releases to present a gay protagonist with such honesty and compassion. Touching, funny, and deeply human, Torch Song Trilogy remains an important landmark in LGBTQ+ cinema and one of the most heartfelt dramas of the 1980s. Is Torch Song Trilogy Harvey Fierstein’s masterpiece, and why does its message of love, acceptance, and family continue to resonate today? 🎬 Topics include: • Harvey Fierstein’s unforgettable performance • Anne Bancroft’s powerful supporting role • The transition from stage to screen • Themes of love, family, and acceptance • The film’s place in LGBTQ+ cinema history • Favourite scenes and emotional moments • The outstanding ensemble cast • Why Torch Song Trilogy remains essential viewing 🎙️ New episodes covering classic, cult, and modern films every week. #TorchSongTrilogy #HarveyFierstein #AnneBancroft #LGBTQCinema #MovieReview #FilmPodcast #ClassicCinema #JustThatFilmPodcast Find us on: YouTube, TikTok & Instagram.

    Meet the Feebles (1989) Review: Peter Jackson’s Most Unhinged Film

    Send us Fan Mail Before The Lord of the Rings, before King Kong, and before The Hobbit, Peter Jackson made one of the most outrageous cult films ever put on screen… In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we dive into Meet the Feebles (1989), Peter Jackson’s wildly offensive, hilariously twisted puppet musical that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Part parody of The Muppet Show and part pitch-black satire of the entertainment industry, Meet the Feebles follows a troupe of puppet performers whose lives are filled with sex, drugs, violence, jealousy, betrayal, and complete chaos behind the scenes. Starring the voices of Danny Mulheron, Mark Hadlow, Donna Akersten, Stuart Devenie, and Peter Vere-Jones, the film has become one of the most infamous cult movies ever made and remains essential viewing for Peter Jackson fans. Long before he won multiple Academy Awards, Jackson was pushing boundaries with outrageous practical effects, anarchic humour, and fearless filmmaking that hinted at the incredible career to come. We discuss: 🎬 Peter Jackson before The Lord of the Rings 🎬 The outrageous puppet satire 🎬 The incredible practical effects and puppetry 🎬 The film’s cult following 🎬 Our favourite shocking moments 🎬 Why it remains unlike anything else ever made 🎬 How it compares to Bad Taste and Braindead 🎬 Is this Peter Jackson’s craziest film? 💬 Have you seen Meet the Feebles… or is it still on your “must watch” list?
