Little Women in Black Thunderpants

Rats and mice may have eaten more copies of The Communist Manifesto than they've read, but the rodent/human class war inches ever closer, and so Simon (@SimonRWhitlock) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy) take it on themselves to prove that the much maligned underclass have some human allies. Yes, it's The Tale of Despereaux. Follow us @LWIBTPod on Insta and Twitter! Intro by Simon Whitlock via Garageband Logo by Ashley (@Ashley_gfx)

We're back and well into the business end of the filmographies of Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe. This time, Simon (@SimonRWhitlock) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy) are talking about the penultimate Rupert Grint film on their lists: WWII thriller Into The White (or Cross of Honour as it's also known). It was also Calum's birthday when this episode was recorded, so brace yourselves for a little bit of singing at the start, as well as discussion of arguably the most offensive sitcom ever made...   Follow us @LWIBTPod on Insta and Twitter!

It's another fine episode from your friends Simon (@SimonRWhitlock) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy), this time we discuss (The Necessary Death of) Charlie Countryman!

Once upon a midnight dreary, Simon and Calum found themselves weary For they had seen 2015's Regression, a film they recall with great depression Yet as part of their podcast quest, they must discuss it before they can rest With choices that leave them sour, it is not Emma Watson's finest hour Satanic rituals and problematic endings galore, here's hoping they view it nevermore   For more episodes of Little Women in Black Thunderpants, the film podcast dedicated to the filmographies of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson outside of the Wizarding World, give us a follow on Twitter and Instagram (@LWIBTPod)   Episodes found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Podbean. 5 Stars would be much appreciated   Simon's Twitter: @SimonRWhitlock Calum's Twitter: @CalumTheFilmGuy   You can also find Simon on the JumpCast Podcast: @JumpCast_   Podcast Jingle by Simon Podcast Logo by Ashley (@Ashley_gfx)

We're on our 25th episode, a quarter of a century of podcasts celebrating the non-Harry Potter filmography of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and - in this episode's case - Emma Watson. We've gone this time for one of Emma's most underrated films: Stephen Chbosky's 2012 coming-of-age drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower. And to join Simon (Twitter: @SimonRWhitlock) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy) in discussing this terrific film, and each other's "tunnel songs" are some very special guests - the wonderful film critic Jordan King (@JordanMBKing) and the superb critic, podcaster and filmmaker Billie Melissa (@billiemelissa_).

Spooky scary vengeful ghosts, send shivers down your spine. Good jump scares will shock your soul, seal your doom tonight. This particular spirit has hosts Simon Whitlock (@Depressedmovie) and Calum Cooper (@CalumTheFilmGuy) so spooked that they require the help of a special guest, film critic and podcaster Lucy Buglass (@LGTHBlog), in tackling the third and final film of this podcast's namesake - 2012's adaptation of The Woman in Black. In between vivacious discussion of this underrated horror film are tangents into such topics as Lalaloopsy dolls, parents taking their kids into unsuitable films, and what they would do if they came back as vengeful spirits themselves.

Welcome to episode 19(!) of the only podcast dedicated to the non-Potter films of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and today's focus: Rupert Grint. This week we're talking mostly about 2015's Moonwalkers, interspersed with some of our most audacious tangential waffling to date. You aren't ready even if you think you are.

At long last, we've got another great film to talk about! Simon (@Depressedmovie) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy) make the absolute most of discussing a decent film for once, with 2020's Escape from Pretoria, starring Daniel Radcliffe. Expect a deft avoidance of any South African accents, a notable lack of knowledge about the fall of Apartheid, and some timely politics bantz. It's good to feel good, folks!

Content warnings for the following: Max Landis, Jason Lei Howden, and beans and weetabix eating.   This one was an ordeal to sit through for both our hosts, as Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy) and Simon (@Depressedmovie) very carefully navigate their way through two bad films made by bad people. There's also an intermission involving Calum's forfeit for predicting the wrong Best Picture winner at the Oscars, which is particularly gruelling. Honestly we don't blame you if you skip to the end this week.

Simon (@Depressedmovie) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy) may have met their match in 2013's love-letter to the iconic breeding ground of New York punk, CBGB. A bad film by all accounts, but hey, ho, let's go through it together. Expect grumpiness, much sidetracking, and recommendations of much better films throughout. Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

Marilyn Munroe once said "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring". If only this film had taken her advice... This Easter Sunday on Little Women in Black Thunderpants, Simon Whitlock (@Depressedmovie) and Calum Cooper (@CalumTheFilmGuy) conclude Emmarch Watson (in April, but that's besides the point) by diving into the 2011 biopic My Week with Marilyn, a film with interesting subtext and a great lead performance, but not much beyond that. As such much meandering ensues, including, but not limited to, a rendition of "Man or Muppet", and the dreaded fallout of Calum's latest Oscar bet.

We're kicking it Old Testament style on this episode, as we get stuck into Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah. Jump on board for more fun chat between Simon (@Depressedmovie) and Calum (@CalumTheFilmGuy), as they chart a course through bad impressions, Snyder Cut waffle and some Anthony Hopkins love.

We're continuing the month of Emmarch Watson (sorry) with her first non-Potter feature, the made-for-TV "Ballet Shoes". This was a particularly chaotic recording, and there are maybe a couple of bits of fruity language, but we hope you enjoy it all the same.

*Disclaimer* = this podcast episode suffers from a few unfixable audio problems in the first 5 minutes, but this clears up after this time. We do beg your pardon dear listeners.   After an unfortunate spell of technical difficulties, Simon Whitlock and Calum Cooper are taking a short road trip to the land of Rupert Grint and Julie Walters banter with 2006's Driving Lessons! Along the way they discuss driving test horror stories, the beautiful quirks and landscapes of Scotland, and what the titular driving lesson in question is. It may or may not include a nod to Mean Girls.   We're on Apple Podcasts - please subscribe and rate us - pretty please?   Follow us on Twitter: @LWIBTPod Simon's Twitter: @Depressedmovie Calum's Twitter: @CalumTheFilmGuy   Podcast theme by Simon (via GarageBand) Podcast logo by @Ashley_gfx (Cheers Ashley!)

This episode, your hosts Simon Whitlock (twitter: @depressedmovie) and Calum Cooper (@CalumTheFilmGuy) take on Alexandre Aja's 2014 adaptation of Joe Hill's "Horns".

A special delivery just for you, Simon Whitlock (@depressedmovie) and Calum Cooper (@CalumTheFilmGuy) are giving Postman Pat: The Movie a full shakedown. Expect zombie Peter Sallis, Thingu and robots with sorting office workers' skin. For kids! Podcast theme by Simon Whitlock Thanks to Ashley (@ashley_gfx) for the artwork!

It's the first podcast episode of the new year! 2021 brings with it a new podcast theme, and a new co-host: the incomparable Calum Cooper (@Calumthefilmguy) has returned in a full-time capacity to help chart a course through the filmography of Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.  Episode 5 takes us to 2017's underwhelming The Circle, aka the lesser Emma Watson joint that year.    Podcast theme by me (Simon Whitlock, @depressedmovie) Thanks to Ashley (@ashley_gfx) for the artwork!
