    Nov 12 2025

    For the first time in the history of the podcast Matt took zero notes and tried to match Ben's 'off the dome' acumen... and he simply could not have picked a worse episode given the various twists and turns at play in this Korean detective tale. Open up your translator apps, takes some voice notes on your smart watch and lets climb the expert route of podcasting together.

  • The Batman
    Oct 29 2025

    It seems Matt truly can just have everything he wants as he follows up on his most controversial selection ever last week with truly exhaustive detail on The Batman, resulting in one of our longest episodes ever. Sorry, Ben.


    This is a first for this particular podcast, which used to have a 'No Capes' rule, but we tossed most of these restrictions out for this volume, which means the floodgates really burst as we get into one of fiction's most enduring characters, the career of Matt Reeves, the various influences of this movie and its messy development history and try and solve some riddles together.


    Pack a lunch!

  • The Harder They Fall
    Oct 22 2025

    The tradition continues as Matt brings his annual eyebrow raising pick for Ben to politely tear apart. That's right it's time to talk the Netflixification of film, why everyone is so clean and what the heck has happened to most of these actors' careers as we talk The Harder They Fall.

  • The Last Duel
    Oct 15 2025

    Come and listen to two idiots locked in a life-long grudge talking about two idiots with a life-long grudge. Who's to say which pair are less qualified to talk about the subject matter, really? At least there's insane costuming and accent choices to lighten the tone!

  • I'm Thinking of Ending Things
    Oct 1 2025

    Make sure your seatbelts are fastened because it's time for 40 minutes of uncomfortable car journeys, rapidly-changing hobbies, ice cream in the snow and of course a great deal of allegorical discourse. Never change, Charlie Kaufman.
