Guys on Film Podcast

After two long, cold years in the deep freeze, we're thawing out the podcast for a grand return (or a last hurrah?) to talk about COLD MOVIES. In this episode… Despite two year's worth of life to catch up on, Olly is keen to make LIFESCORES as quick as possible. So naturally we talk at length about moving house, observing soccer live in a stadium, and one of the Guys on Film team gets a promotion to "Wife of the Podcast". As well as the low-down on our favourite flicks from the two years we've been on ice. In SEGGY ONE Iain gets put through his football (soccer league ball) paces in a sporting quiz. And in the main event, it's a 4X DEEP DIVE, or is that… 4X DEEP FREEZE? You'll want to pack a jumper as we chat about 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, the visual allure of blood on snow, the crisis of conscience for the survivors in ALIVE and a host of other chilly films like DUMB AND DUMBER and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008, original and best) Enjoy!

In the first episode of 2021, we’re examining Friends in Movies! What does that mean? Well we didn’t know either - as Olly researched buddy movies and Iain researched the cast of F.R.I.E.N.D.S in their silver screen careers. The result? A collection of terse, scathing comments from Olly about how Iain got things so wrong, and a whole lot of Friend-related banter!   First, Iain and Olly put their own friendship to the test in a variant on the 'newlywed' game. We pitch each other on Friends-themed movies in Seggy 1, and in the Deep Dive, we get into Olly’s top movie friendships, Iain’s harrowing experience with the Jennifer Aniston movie The Switch and we judge what Matthew Perry’s chances in pugilistic combat are, in Bing Bing Bing - Round 1.   Of course, we have the regular LifeScores™ and top it all off on a disaster performance on the Name Game. Enjoy!

In the wake of the news of Sir Sean Connery’s passing, we take a look (listen) at the cinematic accents that hit and missed the mark. Set accents to stun and banter quality to ‘medium’ - it's another Guys on Film podcast! In Seggy 1, we lift the nation’s spirits with “Everything’s Going to be OK” where we explore iconic films, if everything was just… alright. In LifeScores™, Oliver tells us about his spangly new PlayStation 5 and awakens a line of dialogue from Pet Sematary. But really it's all about the main event, where we cover some of the best and worst accents in Hollywood and Iain gives expert analysis of Hollywood’s attempts at the Holy Grail of accents: Scottish.  Stay tuned right ‘til the end for a cry-laugh Robert-focussed Name Game. Enjoy!

It’s October. It can mean only one thing: it’s the not-quite-annual Guys on Film Halloween Spooktacular!  In this episode, we break from our traditional Deep Dive on a movie-related topic and bring you a rapid-fire succession of lovingly-crafted segments on spooky and scary topics! You guessed it, we’re calling it a CreepDive! Featuring Olly talking about films that genuinely scared him and why, Iain asking you whether it's Argento or ArgentNO and a Name Game for the ages. But before all that Olly interviews Iain for a mystery job, and we give you our LifeScores™.

Grab your microwaved popcorn and pretend to tear a ticket-stub, it’s the Home Cinema episode of Guys on Film podcast! The cinemas are still mainly shut, so we thought it wise to deep dive on the current best alternative: Home Cinema!   In this week’s Seggy One, Olly quizzes Iain on movie running times in another stonking “Higher or Lower”…  Or is that stinking? In LifeScores we hear how Iain and Olly are doing in pandemic times and a bit about their recent viewing habits; including a re-watch of The Matrix and setting off on the journey that is the IMDB Top 250 movies watch-list.   And in our Deep Dive, we talk about inflatable projection screens, whether sorting out your audio at home is worth the hassle, and Iain unconvincingly tells us that pixels don’t matter. Oh, and Olly completely forgets to discuss VR home cinema, despite thesis-level research and preparation.   ENJOY!

We could’ve gone the easy route and recorded another Outbreak Movies. We could’ve gone for a depressing soirée through Isolation Movies. But in these UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, we gave YOU the choice (wow) and you opted for something to lift the mood (not the Lockdown) with this week’s episode: Feel Good Movies! Olly kicks it off with a suitably depressing Seggy 1, where we learn the price waning celebrities are willing to provide personalised messages for in a game of Higher or Lower? Iain is ready and willing to give it his best shot. In LifeScores, we learn how Olly and Iain are getting on with hunkering down and… … In our deep dive, we give you (slightly more than) 5 of our top Feel Good movies each. We cover it all; from Studio Ghibli to Disney classics through Olly trying to convince us that The Truman Show isn’t sinister. We’ve got it all! And stay tuned for the name game. It almost entertains every time! ENJOY.

What's neither brilliant, nor terrible? Not a lofty career best... but not critically panned either... It's a category we call: "Bang Average".  On this episode of Guys on Film, we unscientifically break down the career "medium" performances of a handful of actors, including (predictably) Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne Johnson, as well as somebody else that Iain wasn't officially told to research. How do you define something that's just... "OK"? Don't think too hard about it, you'll break your brain - we did! But a biscuit-rating scale helped with some of it. Also on this episode, we 'Also Known As" in our Seggy 1 Quiz. Olly asks Iain to work out which films these foreign translations belong to... and Iain struggles hard. Can you do any better? And in LifeScores, Iain tells us about his new dog and Olly has ice skating lessons. Enjoy!

Here we are in the future...2020. Where everything is better and more sci-fi. And yet here WE are, dilly-dallying to get you an end of 2019 Film Review episode... Well, at least it's in your ear-pockets on time for (most) of you getting back to work on those futuristic commutes! What controversy lays ahead in the form of a big opinIAIN? What will Olly say was good which was clearly sub-optimal? It's all here in our Best and Worst of 2019! First though, Olly takes us on a profanity journey in our Seggy One called "None, Mild, Moderate or Severe". CAN Iain guess how the assortment of movies rate? CAN you?! Join us with your ears to give it a go! And of course, we give you our life scores - the first in quite some time! We hope you enjoy the episode AND have a wonderful 2020, from Guys on Film! Technical Note: Oliver was unhappy with the quality of his sound recording for this episode, so go easy.

Start your audio engines... It's time for the latest episode of Guys on Film! And we mean... REALLY late. It's certainly been a while, but the guys are ready to jump back behind the podcasting wheel and discuss movies where the car is the star. Think Ronin, Gone in 60 Seconds (Cage version, obviously), multiple Batmans (Batmens?) and MORE. What more could you want? Well, whether you like it or not, you're getting a Seggy One where Iain and Olly find out which car they're most like with a specially formulated, highly scientific online quiz. Are they more Rover than Rolls Royce? Find out... NOW!

Grab the pork scratchings, top up your pints and prepare your brain-stations for this - the FIRST EVER Guys on Film movie pub quiz! So if you want to show off with your knowledge of movie trivia, or even your trivial knowledge of movies -  get your friends around, blast out the podcast and start writing down your answers on a sheet of flippin' paper!  Expect an expansive concoction of questions, straight from the mind of Olly Johnson - covering recent movies, pet movies, prison movies and more! Just beware that Iain is judging both you and your answers (harshly) so don't try getting away with some cheaty nonsense. We also catch you up on our recent LifeScores and movie goings so stay tuned til the end!

We all love a good movie night, but are any of us any good at it? It's time to find out!  On this week's episode, we pack in LOADS of movie night-related shenanigans. In Seggy 1, Olly quizzes Iain in "Snack or Not?" Can Iain determine whether these fangled products are prime for chomping during movie night, or totally inedible? In LifeScores we smash through whats been going on in the last month - house moves, new cats and garden renovations. All very humdrum. But wait til you hear Iain's review of the Motley Crue movie "The Dirt" In this week's 4X Deep Dive we hit you with some high calibre facts, tips and things to avoid for the perfect movie night, including on-site reports from an ACTUAL movie night with friend of the podcast Peter Cater. Can you avoid Iain's Seven Deadly Sins? (And did the guys avoid them on their own movie night?) Do you agree with Wiki-how's top tips? Well, it's time to find out as you join us in episode 103...

This week we're exploring the best music tracks from the movies. Not all that lovely orchestral stuff, but pop tracks that have been selected to go into a film and have really... struck a chord.... Anyway, we kick things off with a movie music quiz. Iain takes on the challenge of identifying the song, artist and movie it was in from just the opening lines. How will you do? As ever we have a LifeScores update and then follow up with our 4X Deep Dive on movie music. What will top Iain's top 5 tracks list? What will Olly bring up from the world of goth music? What are some of Iain's top SHITERS? It's all on here - so get listening!

Welcome to 2019 from the Guys on Film podcast. In this first episode of the year, Iain quizzes Olly on his Japanese movie knowledge after a New Year trip East. We get our Life Score update from Olly and Iain. Iain recounts the top movies he'd seen over the festive period and on an aeroplane and Olly commiserates himself for a poor pub quiz movie question performance. And in the Deep Dive this week, we discuss... hey, you guessed it Detectives Hunting Serial Killers (it's in the damn title). With morbid documentaries being all the rage on streaming services, we look at their movie counterparts and talk about the M.O., the patterns, the psychology and some of the techniques used by detectives to catch them. Along with a rundown of some of our favourites, including Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, Zodiac and a like for like comparison on Manhunter and Red Dragon. Try to enjoy it!

Alas, 2018 is on the way out and so is our first century of 'sodes. But what's on the way in is an episode so ram-packed with lookahead previews and Seggy 1 quizzing that Olly got audibly annoyed as we overran on time. One bang-up Christmas holiday editing job later and we have the episode you're likely already listening to. In an expletive-heavy Seggy 1, Olly will ask Iain to honestly and openly choose a category for a variety of movie villians, in his logically titled quiz: "Twat, Dick, Prick, Wanker or 'Och, they're fine'". Play along at home OR on the move! And then in our Deep Dive, prepare yourself for our rundown of the top films taking our fancy (or not) for 2019. Try to enjoy!    

UFOs, close encounters, unknown aromas and of course; weird goings on inside Midlands-based residential garden sheds. What are we on about? Alien Visitors of course! This week Iain and Olly open their investigations and start out by asking themselves "Do I want to believe?" and end around somewhere like "Will you please at least try to believe?" In Seggy 1, Oliver quizzes Iain on the multi-part, (fictional) close encounter scale (apparently real, really) and Iain gives some baffling answers. Then in our Deep Dive, we ask what's the worst that could happen in an alien abduction as we assess Fire in the Sky, cover some (incredibly interesting) movie subway trivia as we mull over Quatermass and the Pit and also find time to chime in on other strange visitor classics such as E.T., Cocoon, Batteries Not Included and MORE. You'd have to be lobotomised to miss it!

Our third Halloween as a podcast (wow!) and we're getting stuck right into slasher films in spooktacular fashion! First up, we regale the joys of Nicolas Cage's latest outing in our Seggy 1 Mandy review with a special appearance by Mandy. In our Deep Dive, we're chatting about what makes slashers so special. The inventive on-screen deaths, the outfits, the weapons and much more. We talk through a couple of our favourites each and then discuss the rules if you want to survive one, or if you want to don the scary mask yourself (don't try this at home). Finally Olly tries to get Iain to green light a couple slasher films of his own!

We're back, and this month we explore a bygone era of film-watching still close to many people's hearts, as we Deep Dive the subject of video rental! But first, Olly quizzes Iain in a Striving for Bronze (Going for Gold) on mystery movie snacks. We check in on our Lifescores, deliver our latest film reviews and find out what our favourite cakes and tea accompaniments are during our Intermission. And all that before we Deep Dive into video shops and VHS rental! We have a special interview with Andy Johnson of Liverpool video shop VideOdyssey who tells us why he opened a video shop in the digital age. And finally, Iain and Olly discuss the sights, sounds, smells and best tapes rented from their video shop memory lane discussion. You'll be rewinding and enjoying this 'sode, over and over and over.

We're BACK! Well, we never really went away but this is our first foray into a monthly delivery package, so take your time... it's about to begin! This episode we take a trip back to 1986 for a quick round of classic daymare TV "Going For Gold" - WHAT AM I? We also give you a rapid life update, because we are your hosts, this is free, so why not let us indulge... also Iain had an absolutely delightful and above board home-massage that he fills us in on. And FINALLY our 4x DeepDive takes you by the hand on a lovely date to the movies, the silver screen... the cinema! We book your ticket online, fill you with calorific snacks then proceed to talk throughout the presentation. So please, join us once more on the good ship HMS GOF and lets set sail... OK just listen to the podcast.

It's AUGUST already - which can mean only two things: Iain officially reaches the "old" threshold and we're previewing the top movies for the month! We're chatting about the web/tech-nightmare-horror genre's big outing this month with both Unfriended: Dark Web and Searching on their way. But also tackle some big hitters with Denzel Washington's old man action hero return in Equalizer 2 as well as Ant Man and The Wasp. And Olly turns into a baddie!

Well that's it, we finally say "FIN" to Shark Month, and what a month it's been, from facts and jokes, to facts and...more jokes, it's been delightful. So what has your brain and ears got in store for the next 50 minutes? Well, it's a whole lotta chat about Renny Harlin's Meisterwork "Deep Blue Sea", Iain had never seen it, and Olly owned it on Region 1 DVD so is it good for todays audience? and does it stand the test of time? And do you want to know what it's called in Lithuania? Well, all of these questions AND MORE are answered, so get on your wet suit, double check your oxygen tanks and take one last plunge into the Murky shark infested waters of the GUYS ON FILM PODCAST'S SHARK MONTH! Leave us a lovely review and a delightfully star laden rating to feel our warmth fill your entire soul for the rest of your life.

DO YOU know your shark movie tropes? DO YOU know which type of shark the men of courage had to deal with after the USS Indianapolis was destroyed? DO YOU want to find out? Check out this week's show! Including more fun shark facts, Nic Cage nonsense, Tom Sizemore "acting terribly" and Olly challenging Iain with an incredibly simple shark question. Get it now!

Our first "Notes on..." episode swims with the shark, and talks straight to you about 2017 thrillfest The shallows starring Blake Lively as a Medical school dropout that gets stranded on a tiny rock 200ft from shore....she is literally stuck between a rock and a shark place. We discuss the stuff we liked, the stuff we didn't like so much, and Iain battles the tail end of an illness throughout. So make sure you go watch THE Shallows NOW, then come back and have a listen. Let us now what you think in the comments!

We kick off SHARK MONTH with a shark-infested podcast. Yes, that's right, Shark Month - not Shark Week. We've made the shark concept 4X better. First up in this Guys on Film CLASSIC episode, we enter the shark tank and pitch some shark movie ideas, but will the entrepreneurs go for any of our idea-chum? We also catch up on our Lifescores just prior to a best and worst of shark movies big list rundown!

Who's geared up for a cracking July? Well, if the World Cup doesn't float your boat, we've got a rundown of all of this month's HOT new RELEASES. We talk through the syncopated-audio trailer for Skyscraper, the punctuation-heavy Mission: Impossible - Fallout, and notorious-Thai-prison ROMP A Prayer Before Dawn. We cover all the other major releases for the month and our predictions about them, but not before some on-the-money reviews of what we've seen during the month of June. Tell us what you think about the podcast HERE: goo.gl/WtDX8V

HAPPY FATHERS DAY, DADS! In our dadliest episode yet, we discuss the 1993 Robin Williams classic, Mrs. Doubtfire. When Daniel Hillard decides to dress as an elderly English (Scottish) lady to get more time with his kids, is he a good dad, or a total maniac? Listen on to hear our thoughts! One of us is even a qualified dad! And before all that, Iain puts Olly's formal qualification as a dad to the test with his 8 point dad quiz (spoiler: Olly answers "the green wire" when asked what the brown wire in a plug is) ENJOY!

As a continuation of DAD MONTH, we talk in-depth about Darren Aronofsky's now 10-year-old awards contender, The Wrestler. We discuss Randy "The Ram" Robinson and ask the question - Good Dad or Bad Dad? We also catch up on what you lot have been saying about the best dads from the movies, and find out our favourite crisps, including Cullen Crisp Snr. from Kindergarten Cop.

Guys on Film does DADS ON FILM this month, as we fast approach Father’s Day, what better way to celebrate than listen to this CLASSIC episode of the podcast? Well, as a gift, recommend the darn thing to your dad! In Seggy One, find our what we suggest as Father’s Day gifts for movie people, including Timothy Dalton’s James Bond and Mrs. Doubtfire. In Lifescores, hear all about Iain’s celebrity shoulder-rubbing and Olly’s back garden (wow!) Then, in the main event, Olly evaluates the top movie dads and maybe a few of the worst dads on screen too.

Join us as we discuss what's coming up in June, INCLUDING - Ocean's 8, Book Club, My Friend Dahmer, Hereditary and In the Fade. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. We also have a chat about some of what we've seen in May, including Olly's reviews of Deadpool 2, Infinity War and our discussion on blood-soaked revenge film, Revenge.

The final instalment of our immersive cinema meanderings! We discuss 360 video, VR and the crossover between movies and games with David Addis! We chat about Iain's recent trip to Blade Runner at Secret Cinema, and cover the 3D gem that is The Final Destination and some deaths we'd like to see in 3D! Get on it!

It's a JAM PACKED episode, getting you so immersed you won't even know what colours a smell is any more. Join us as we chat about VR and 360 video with the creative director at Infinite Pixel and RiVR, Alex Harvey. He explains why VR headsets are great in a lift and on a long haul flight, as well as his thoughts on immersive cinema in general. But that's NOT ALL... We finally give you the Special Report into 4DX as Iain and Peter go to see Rampage at the cinema.

WOW! This month's classic episode is on immersive cinema! We're talking stereo, colour, 3d, 4dx, VR, AR... AND MORE! In Seggy One, we pitch each other some immersive film ideas (more than one including gutter-humour, you've been warned...)and in the Deep Dive, Olly takes us on a chronological journey through cinema's technological advancements for the sake of 'immersiveness' or is that 'immersion'? During all this, we learn that Iain falls asleep to the sound of hoovers and Olly uses terminology like 'day dot'. It's a wild one, and sets us up for a month of immersive podcasts! Prepare for a sonic assault on the senses.

Get ready! We prep you up for the next month of movies with our May preview. But not before Iain gives Olly a quick quiz and we then smash our way through reviews of things we managed to see in last month's preview including; Peter Rabbit, Black Panther, Isle of Dogs and A Quiet Place. This month, we glide through pre-think and thought-nonsense on a female-strong month of movies including; Revenge, Tully, I Feel Pretty, Life of the Party and Breaking In. Remember to hit subscribe and to send us your thoughts on facebook.com/guysonfilm AND hold on to your hats for our Rampage review coming NEXT WEEK in our immersive cinema Deep Dive...

It's another remake - this time Bram Stoker's Dracula! Or Bram Stokula. We discuss the origins of the story, the films that have come before and then go blow by blow through our notes on the film. Discussing the costume design, the effects and techniques to achieve them, Anthony Hopkins having a laugh, Keanu not quite being certain he's even on the right set and the crazy campiness of all the other performances. Enjoy!

Wow! A whole new show! We're switching the format around to give you an EVEN BETTER Guys on Film podcast. In the first of our "Notes On..." podcasts, we take this month's Deep Dive subject of Remakes and discuss the 2011 version of Conan the Barbarian. Does it have the muscle of the original? We chat through our notes and hear some comments from our listeners. SEND US A MESSAGE ABOUT NEXT WEEK'S SUBJECT: Bram Stoker's Dracula! facebook.com/guysonfilm, @gofpodcast or guysonfilmpodcast@gmail.com

Cynical ploys for more money, or worthwhile second attempts to get something right? In this week's podcast we investigate REMAKES! Wow! We'll be talking about why they make 'em, which ones work and which ones don't and what some of our worst remakes and best remakes are! And in Seggy 1, we discuss the hot new Spielberg thing... Ready Player One! Listen... NOW!

It's back! What's back? The April Movies Preview, but this time it's 2018! We'll be telling you what we're up for watching; so expect to hear a bit about The Quiet Place, Rampage, I Kill Giants, and many, many more! PLUS (wow) Olly tests Iain's knowledge on famous movie set pranks - because anyone co-hosting a movie-based podcast should know all there is to know. So sit back, turn off your phones...it's about to begin... NO, hold on, that's the annoying guy at Odeon's line... just listen and enjoy!

We're going BIG with this week's Giant Monsters episode... not least since Olly's just hit the big 4-0! Happy birthday, mate! So... listen as we have Alexa sing him happy birthday, take things to an even higher level as we play smaller or taller with famous stars of the screen, and then go to the highest almighty, with our rundown of what's good in the Giant Monster genre. Expect Godzilla, King Kong, The Blob, The Mist, King Ghidora and more. Although really, we kind of fixate on Godzilla... ENJOY!

That's right, our episode topic poll joint-winner Dolph Lundgren, gets an episode all of his own. We're Deep Diving on his movies, including Showdown in Little Tokyo, Rocky IV, Skin Trade (kind of) and we chat about what it is that's made him the go-to tall, blonde fighting person. For Seggy 1, in honour of Lundgren's Masters degree in Chemical Engineering - Olly asks Iain if he knows famous scientists from the movies.

Where it all begins... again! That's right! You voted for it and we've gone back to it; the subject of our first ever podcast... its wrestlers in movies! And there's lots more to cover this time round: the revolution in women's wrestling, the evolution of Dwayne Johnson's film career, wrestling documentaries the death of kayfabe (pretending its real), along with some classics we didn't cover the first time round, like Gridiron Gang. And that's NOT all... Olly hits us with a Seggy 1 of IMDB violence and gore true or false. Let's get ready to ruuuummmmble (again).

It's MARCH! And we're looking ahead to the movies on their way this month. Its a tough month, but Iain and Olly persevere and talk over Red Sparrow, Tomb Raider and Olly's big opinion on Ready Player One. And in Seggy One, we go technology crazy! We're asking Alexa to answer our questions about the best and worst movies of a selection of actors! With very variable results. Wow! Interactive! Digital! Enjoy!

This week we teach you literally everything we know about making films (and the episode still clocks in at just over an hour!) We discuss movie projects, our own ideas and learning from mistakes, and Iain sits down for an interview with Raindance festival and film school's founder Elliot Grove. We pick his brains on golden rules, equipment choices, common mistakes, and of course erotic fantasies. AND in Seggy 1, we get our filmmaker juices flowing with a pitch session for what Dwayne Johnson should reboot next...

This week we kick off a mini-series in movie-making with a jump backwards in time to cover some directorial titans' first movies. We discuss what's important to get right in a first movie, whether they were any good and of course, there's a fare bit of sex and nudity from the IMDB Parent's Guide. But before that, we ask each other some REVEALING questions in Seggy 1. What was your first day at work like? What was your first date? What is your first memory of the sex shed? That sort of thing. ENJOY!

Just in time for Valentine's Day... it's OUTBREAK MOVIES! In Seggy One Olly asks Dr. Smythe (sp?) to diagnose a number of movie-based illnesses before they ruin the world as we know it. And in this week's Deep Dive, we take a look at some of the best outbreak movies, including The Crazies, Twelve Monkeys some newer twists like The Girl With All the Gifts and the guys establish that the next Pokemon evolution from Olyphant is Eletrunk. ENJOY.

In the last of the "chatting about an action hero" episodes for a while, we discuss a man with a particular set of skills: Liam Neeson. In Seggy 1, we'll be guessing whether some nudity is from one of his films, or just something Olly made up, we'll be discussing the ins and outs of Olly's sex shed, whether Owen Wilson has what it takes to become the next dad action lad, and in honour of Neeson's 2012 movie, throughout the episode we play the tense, nautical strategy game Battleships. The 4X Deep Dive will of course be on the life and movies of Liam Neeson.

We're putting a bow on January with a journey into the films and world of Nicolas Cage. Prepare yourself for 1 star reviews of his movies in Seggy 1, including the world's most scathing review of The Rock. Then for the main event we take a conversational stroll through the likes of Drive Angry, Left Behind, Wicker Man and Face/Off, with varying results. Olly gives us a number of fun anecdotes about the man's life, and Iain struggles to pin Olly down on a number as he discusses Cage's "fair share" of wives.

Almost a year in the making (on the backburner), comes JCVD part 2! This time we smash through some awards categories, including; Best Hair, Best Colon, Best Splits and Best Movie and we re-evaluate some of the older work as well as uncovering at least one unexpected gem in the later VOD period. All that in the Deep Dive, but not before Iain tests Olly's knowledge by asking him to connect the glowing 10 star review to the JCVD movie. Get it... NOW!

That's right - much maligned, critically panned, but loved the world over; no we're not talking about the podcast, its Gerard Butler for this episode's Deep Dive! We hit you with a sampler of his career, from Dracula 2000 and Phantom of the Opera, to Machine Gun Preacher and Geostorm... with a sprinkling of stuff we've already covered like Olympus Has Fallen. In our Seggy One, Olly has haphazardly put together a Wrong, Dead Wrong quiz for Iain on the theme of 'Greece' (Grease), and Olly snags a WORLD EXCLUSIVE interview with the man himself.

Despite Olly's appeals that we don't do superheroes or Star Wars... with this week's episode we pretty much hit both food groups near back to back since our Last Jedi review: This week is... Batmans! We cover some of the top elements which make a Batman a Batman; discussing GADGETS (cool!), VILLIANS (bad!), ROBINS! (helpful!). And in our Seggy 1, prepare for some left-field Bat-Villian ideas and a little bit of (too much) Sexy Fan-Fiction. Where previously Olly did his best to sabotage the audio of our Batmans episode, this week we resurrect the ill-fated episode... ENJOY!

In our final podcast of the year, we take some time (we go OVERTIME) to think of the movies which will be out in 2018. We break tradition and ditch Seggy 1 for this week and just use all the time to go month by month through what looks to be an interesting year. And slap, bang in te middle of the year, we take some time to reflect on our final Lifescores of the year, and our special Yearscores. Olly regales a recent cinema seating disaster. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We're fast approaching 2018 but before we bid 2017 a last goodbye, Iain and Olly take you through their 2017 movie awards in what must be their second or third most glamorous spectacle ever. Covering their best and worst films of the year, best acting from an animal and many more; they basically just shoot the breeze about this year's movies. Oh yeah, and Seggy 1 is a full review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Iain has a list of gripes. I think you can imagine how that goes...

We do the hard work so you don't have to: this Christmas your movie viewing is a no brainer, because we've scoured the TV listings for all the best movies from bottom to top. We also compare and contrast the Radio Times and TV Guide, their listings, price, front cover, Santa illustration, rating system... you name it, we've scrutinised it. Up first though, Iain provides his top three movie Santas, and his bottom three Christmas treats. Yule love it.
