5.02 – THE ACCUSED (2018) & Intensity
After something of a hiatus from the main feed, this week the band is back together with our look at (the most recent, Rob) THE ACCUSED.
Small Batch – White House Down (2013) & Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Die Hard In The White House…again?
5.01 – EMA (2019) & Seeds
We launch into Season 5 (FIVE!!! madness, I tell you) and our ‘world tour’ with a film from the country at the southernmost tip of the Americas, Chile, and Pablo Larraín’s 2019 film EMA.
200! – 300 (2007) & Fourteen Years
Some six years after our first episode — and fourteen years after the…’discussion’ that prompted us to start doing this podcast (eventually), we’re revisiting Zach Snyder’s 2007 epic 300
4.50 – MULAN (2020) and Honour
The final film in our Disney-animation-and-remakes sub-season is the 2020 iteration of MULAN.
4.49 – MULAN (1998) & Gender
Our final Disney film is 1998’s MULAN. After some reviews, we talk about the ways in which this film starts from a position of naivety, but grows into a much more adult movie: which leaves us both intrigued as to what the reboot will be like.
4.48 – THE LION KING (2019) and Hyperrealism
This week, after some…reviews of Disney’s most recent take on THE LION KING, we talk about how colour and contrast can make or break a film, the importance of myth to the original movie, and what it means to consider style versus substance when the film is as hyperrealistic as this one.
4.47 – THE LION KING (1994) & Privilege
Our film this week is the 1994 award-winning classic THE LION KING. After the usual reviews, we talk about Sam’s changing ideas about the film, how it may or may not be about the growth of a character, and what it says about the role of royal privilege (not, this week in particular, an entirely irrelevant topic!).
