Summary

Ramblings with Jay Finlayson is a Film and TV podcast hosted by someone who has spent over a decade working across major studio productions and high-end scripted television… and yet still manages to sound like he’s figuring it all out in real time.


This isn’t a polished, over-analysed breakdown of cinema. There are no overly serious critiques, no dramatic monologues about “the language of film,” and absolutely no pretending to have all the answers. Instead, it’s a running commentary from a film enthusiast who accidentally turned his passion into a career and now can’t switch it off, even when he probably should.


Across each episode, expect honest opinions, behind-the-scenes insight, and the kind of observations that only come from actually being on set mixed with tangents, overthinking, and the occasional moment of chaos It sits somewhere between film discussion, industry perspective, and an ongoing internal monologue that probably should’ve stayed internal. From new releases to older favourites, big-budget productions to overlooked gems, if it’s worth watching (or avoiding), it’ll come up eventually usually with a side of mild chaos.


There’s no gatekeeping here. No overcomplicated analysis. Just rambling about Films, TV, and whatever else comes to mind delivered by someone who’s been behind the scenes… but still talks like he’s sat on the sofa questioning everything.

    Ep 3. Can you masturbate to Torture Porn?
    May 13 2020

    Torture porn is a name given to a genre of films that exploits violence and torture of the film characters for satisfaction of the antagonist, but can it also be used as stereotypical porn? In this episode I use Adam Rehmeier's 2012 The Bunny Game as an example of similar films that are boarding pornographic material.
