    Older Discourse: Mr Beast's Sad Life, Godzilla Minus One's Absence & DreaFans
    Mar 24 2025
    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2024 for a bonus tier, Carl and Tony revisit YouTube sensation Mr Beast, whose life feels a searing indictment on the world he inhabits. Plus! Godzilla Minus One seemed to be unavailable so they discuss the ephermeral nature of cinema currently. And finally, Drea di Matteo has joined OnlyFans. Around celebrating, they discuss this platform and how it might be a democratising thing...

    Older Discourse: The Dull Men's Club, Gen Z Irritation, Dadcasting & Political Swiftcourse
    Mar 10 2025
    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2024 for a bonus tier, Tony invites Carl to the seemingly insulting 'Dull Men's Club' as they discuss the growing phenomenon of dull men. Plus! Gen Z are getting Tony's back up, but why? And are they much different from our pair of Millenials? Also! They tackle the growing trend of 'Dadcasting', which they surely must fall into. And finally, in what is now some outdated political commentary, they can't help tackling some Swiftcourse...

    Feb 24 2025
    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, originally recorded in 2023 for a bonus tier, Tony and Carl discuss the suggestion all middle-aged men end up a bit like Steve Coogan's comedy character Alan Partridge. Are they? Plus! They discuss films they watched while at school and how important it is to find time for fun in their lives...
