  • Greenland
    Jul 18 2025

    This week we review the 2020 American apocalyptic survival disaster thriller film Greenland directed by Ric Roman Waugh.

    Starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin the film follows the family as they fight for survival before a planet destroying comet hits earth.

    Get the popcorn ready and buckle up - this is a better than average disaster movie but the Aussie manages to ruin it with his ridiculoulsly in depth analaysis of a film that doesnt need it.

    The Aussie's interruptions and dull explanations set the Scotsman off - and he gets progressively more annoyed until he turns around and says "you are actually ruining this movie for me".

    Some interesting ethical and moral questions come up and the Aussie's family might be a little surprised with his answers.

    We run through a list of all time world ending diaster movies - do you have a favourite?

    This is worth watching before you listen as there are some nice twists that we don't want to ruin for you. But not the end of the world - no pun intended - if you don't.

    We look forward to Greenland 2.

  • Strangers on a Train with The Doc
    Jul 18 2025

    This week we review the 1951 American psychological thriller film noir Strangers on a Train produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the 1950 novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith.

    It was shot in late 1950, and released by Warner Bros. on June 30, 1951, starring Farley Granger, Ruth Roman and Robert Walker.

    The story concerns two strangers who meet on a train, one of whom is a psychopath who suggests that they "exchange" murders so that neither will be caught.

    The film initially received mixed reviews, but has since been regarded much more favorably.

    In 2021, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

    We welcome back The Doc - Doctor Andrew - as we were in some desperate need of intelligent debate and discussion.

    We kick off with pet peeves "is it ok to park in front of a persons driveway?" and we ask "is it ok to walk straight into someones house uninvited regardless of how well you know them" ;

    The Aussie finally appreciates why this masterpiece set the scene for later thrillers and the Scotsman can't help binging up our previous review of Duel - if you haven't listened the podcast that nearly ended Aussie and the Scotsman - check that one out!

    Our previous guest Simon- a student of film - is referenced often and we find out that the Doc wanted desperately to be a movie director.

  • Chopper
    Jul 18 2025

    This week we review the 2000 Australian crime drama film Chopper starring Eric Bana as Mark 'Chopper' Read.

    Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - it's an all Aussie podcast as the boys recreate the "cash - no cash here" scene and discuss this Australian classic in detail.

    Nominated for a well deserved 9 AACTA (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts) awards this is a fantastic movie showcasing the life of Chopper.

    What is true and what is not true? Well we know the ear cutting off is true cause we can see it! The rest we may need to take with a pinch of salt.
