That Podcast Thing is a UK based podcast network that is building up an interesting portfolio of shows. We start with Home Movie Club, where, for each episode, we take an irreverent (and many times irrelevant) look at the highest grossing movies since 1930.
Dave Callier, Jo Carter, Sami Kelsh, Daisy Swaffer
We ask whether we should, debate the hotness of Jeff Goldblum and groan at those hacker scenes. All in all an iconic film marks the end of Season 1 of Home Movie Club, but what did the team think?
We take a delightful trip to the past, with this charming classic from 1944, Going My Way starring Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald and Risë Stevens.
This time we delve into the world of James Cameron's Avatar. But does a 3D film just mean that the plot holes appear to go even deeper?
It's our first bumper bonus birthday episode. Sometimes your favourite films just don't make the list, so we've decided that each of us, for our birthdays, can pick a film for the team to dissect. First up is your cordial host's birthday and David has chosen 1979s Alien.
This time, we take a look at the sci-fi spectacular, Independence Day (1996), Staring Bill Pullman, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum....
This time, we take a look at the musical South Pacific, just so you don't have too....
We return to a Galaxy far far away when we tackle 1980s highest grossing movie. That's right, it's time for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
This time we look at 1954s Rear Window, a Hitchcock classic about a murder... or is it? When a man is trapped in a room for weeks on end, does his imagination get the better of him, or is there really foul play in the apartment across the courtyard?
This time we look at 1974s "The Towering Inferno", starring Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, and one of us gets very excited about the disaster-y-ness of it all.
This time we look at 1992s Disney hit, Aladdin. With a stellar performance from the late, great Robin Williams, and some seriously catchy songs, this can't be a film we didn't universally all love, can it?
Mayday Mayday - Podcast in distress? This time we look at 1970's Airport, a film that's more personal than we expected but is it far less disaster-y than it could be?
Spoooooooky goings on with big bankers and a potter's wheel.
Podcasters Assemble!! This time we look at 2012s Avengers Assemble, the first of the big league MCU team cross-overs, and the film that set the standard for all that followed. But is it any good, and have we played too much of the Lego Avengers game to be subjective?
We've got a sinking feeling about this as the the good ship HMC faces down something worse than a rogue iceberg. Yes, it's James Cameron's 1997 mega-hit, Titanic.
Kong! Kong! Kong! Kong! Yep, in this episode we have been watching the highest grossing movie of 1933, King Kong. But is this a Great Ape, or does this movie just make a monkey out of all of us?
This time we look at 2002's top grossing movie, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. A movie that is so long that it nearly broke the podcast, BUT not so long as to not have multiple confusing problems for anyone who had not seen the first movie in a while.
Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring. The first film in the trilogy never made the list, but the Two Towers did, so here's a brief rundown on what happens in the first story.
This time we step back to 2006 for Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest, staring Johnny Depp. The first 'Pirates' film didn't make the list so we have also released a mini-episode covering that film.
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl. The first film in this seemingly never ending series of films never made the list, but the second film did, so here's a brief rundown on what happens in the first story.
This time we found ourselves watching 1950's Disney classic, Cinderella. Surely this is not a film we would find ourselves at loggerheads over? Tune in to find out...
This time we head back to 1935 for Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Clarke Gable. But did the crew of the good ship Home Movie Club mutiny against this film or did they stay loyal to their Captain? Listen and find out...
1977 saw the release of the phenomenon that was Star Wars! But were we blown away by the 1970s special effects (no Special Editions here, this is the original cut) or did we all think it was just a pile of poo-doo?
You're a Wizard, Harry! This time we look at the highest grossing movie of 2001, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. (Known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, if you live in North America...)
This time we look at The French Connection. Will the mix of slow pacing, sudden action and confusing questions make this a Class A film for us, or just a disappointing bust?
Butch and Sundance shoot their way through several bank robberies, but were we blown away by the action or just left cold by the musical interludes?
This time we look at the 1994 animated Disney classic, The Lion King
This time we're looking at the 1976 classic, Rocky
In our inaugural episode we look at the 1964 classic, Mary Poppins.
