One of Us is a Filmmaker - a Nostalgic Movie Podcast Orion & Cassiah

Following on from our Star Wars part one episode, Orion and Cassiah jump back into debating which of the films from the originals (70s-80s) and prequels (90s-00s) is the best, before answering the all-important question: which was better, the original Star Wars trilogy, or the prequel trilogy? 

Welcome back to season 4 of One Of Us Is A Filmmaker! We are so excited to kick off this season with a great debate all about the iconic space opera that is 'Star Wars' - credit to the exuberant mind of creator, writer and director George Lucas. In this part one of our two-part episode, we begin with a little quiz before we debate the space age question of which is better: the original Star Wars trilogy (70s-80s), or the prequel Star Wars trilogy (90s-00s)? 

Our season 3 finale special is a FIRST for One Of Us Is A Filmmaker, as Orion and Cassiah chat with a very special guest for the first time: film and TV composer, Hollie Buhagiar! We discuss the all important questions as to what makes great sound and music in a movie, including talking about some of the recent BAFTA and Academy Award winning films in Music and Sound Design. So tune in now! 

We were all equally as shook when Mia Thermopolis (aka Anne Hathaway) found out from the (literal) Queen Julie Andrews that she was Princess of Genovia in 2001's 'The Princess Diaries'. Directed by Gary Marshall and based on the book series by Meg Cabot, this week Orion and Cassiah look back at both 'The Princess Diaries' (2001) and 'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement' (2004). 

This week, Orion and Cassiah discuss a Star Trek satire movie that is not necessarily well known, but is a beloved one - the cult sci-fi comedy 'Galaxy Quest' (1998)! Starring a killer cast such as Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Sam Rockwell, this satirical but wholesome movie has landed in the hearts of many a sci-fi fans! So never give up, never surrender, and never miss this hidden gem of a movie (and our chat about it!) 

DreamWorks Animation sometimes seems like the forgotten child after Disney and Pixar. But DreamWorks has created some absolutely BANGING franchises, from Shrek to Kung Fu Panda to Madagascar, and more. So this week, Orion and Cassiah debate which franchise is top dog (well, top Donkey!) in a joint ranking of the worst to the best DreamWorks 3D Animation franchise!
