About this listen

 Jett Loe & Gareth Higgins started talking about movies in 2006, and co-hosted a podcast for eight years. After a ten year break, they're back to discuss movies and the meaning of our lives - how we dream the world through cinema, what we can learn about life through the eyes of others, and how movies can help us get through hard times - and affirm us in the better ones.2024 Art

    28 Years Later
    Jul 8 2025

    As Gareth Higgins says in this episode, “28 Years Later made me care about the people around me, it helped me care about strangers too.” He’s not wrong folks, this is a exquisitely beautiful film that conjures up the spirit of the films of Boorman, Powell & Pressburger, Leigh and Ramsey and we loved talking about it.

    Mountainhead and Friendship
    Jun 17 2025

    Can men truly ever be friends? This is the question Jett Loe asks of his co-host, (and possible friend), Gareth Higgins on this, the 300th episode of The Film Talk. In this ep male friendship is discussed in the context of the new, excoriating satire from the makers of Succession, Mountainhead, and the hilarious Tim Robinson star-vehicle Friendship. Along the way Loe and Higgins reference poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, artist Joseph Beuys, the films Robocop and Starship Troopers and much more. Enjoy.
