For the Twins and Doppelgängers cycle "Mise-Unseen", Madeline, Julian and Emilio strap in and tackle 'Cloud Atlas', the 2012 film directed by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer, based on David Mitchell's novel. It features a truly head spinning array of actors playing multiple different characters spanning several centuries, and with help of Emilio's sister Maria-Elena, the group digs into the many different stories, the parallel editing, the way reincarnation seems to return these souls to Earth in new and distinct ways, and the different journeys of these souls take us on. It's a conversation that is critical of some of the choices made in the film, but also very much along for the ride these filmmakers constructed.

We have reached the glittering grand finale of our Pride Month celebration on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we are going out in style! For our "T" selection in the lineup, we are packing our bags, boarding a battered lavender bus named Priscilla, and heading deep into the Australian outback with Stephan Elliott's iconic 1994 masterpiece, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Pour yourself something absolutely fabulous - perhaps Lemar's It's Not Purple, It's Lavender cocktail - as we journey into the heart of the desert, where the heels are high and the survival instincts are higher.This week, we celebrate the extraordinary trio at the center of this road trip: Hugo Weaving's conflicted Tick/Mitzi, Guy Pearce's chaotic, high-energy Adam/Felicia, and Terrence Stamp's absolutely sublime, deeply dignified performance as Bernadette, a trans woman navigating grief and a world that rarely understands her. We bask in the film's legendary visual triumphs - from the towering silver lamé gown on top of the bus to the jaw-dropping lip-sync numbers in the middle of nowhere - and break down Oscar-winning costumes that managed to turn flip-flops into high fashion. Most importantly, we examine the film's striking balance between brilliant camp comedy and raw, necessary commentary on homophobia, transphobia, and the revolutionary act of queer joy simply refusing to hide.If you've ever wanted to watch three drag queens conquer the outback to the tune of Gloria Gaynor, or if you just want to hear us rave about a film that changed the landscape of queer cinema forever, this is the curtain call you've been waiting for. We're blending our deep adoration for this vibrant classic with our usual casual banter to bring our Pride Month run to a triumphant, sequin-covered close. Finally, a fabulous ending!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Welcome back to The Movie Draft House! We're cruising along in May 2026 with our "Days of Futures Past" theme where each movie we watch has to have taken place in a year that has already passed. This week we watch the highly topical 2005 film "V for Vendetta" starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle the much-maligned middle child of the Matrix trilogy, the 2003 Wachowski sequel starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving. Burning Bright admits he used to dismiss this one entirely, but a fresh rewatch reveals a film that is not dumb at all, just trying to wrestle with much harder ideas than the original. The guys dig into the philosophical bedrock the film sits on, including Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation and what it means to live in a hyperreality where signs replace the thing itself. They unpack why Zion is presented as such a hedonistic, animalistic place, and whether the Wachowskis really intended it to be the paradise worth saving. From there, they work through the Architect scene as a meditation on how systems build their own opposition into themselves, the Oracle as a mirror for the Q drops, the Merovingian as a possible fallen prior One and a Lucifer figure in the underworld of the matrix, and Neo's final choice to save Trinity as the only morally coherent rejection of the system.
“HE WAS ALL OF US.“Hello everyone! We are back to talk about another film that may have aged a little better than we hoped, and we might all be worse off for that. We are talking about 2005's V For Vendetta, directed by James McTeague, starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving, written by one of the podcast's favorite sibling duos, the Wachowski sisters! On this episode we talk about just how relevant the film feels, especially while living in America. In the world of V, we are living in a fascist, police state, ravaged by a viral outbreak, with state sponsored media spreading fear and propaganda, an authoritarian government seizing personal freedoms while the oligarch class is protected and reaping all the benefits of their crimes against humanity. An all too familiar world for anyone not living under a rock. Even though the original Alan Moore graphic novel was written in response to Margaret Thatcher's Britain in the 1980's, and the Wachowski's screenplay was written perhaps in response to the 2nd (or rather, 3rd) Bush Administration, perhaps the heart of the story is what it takes to survive these oppressive regimes.Speaking of Alan Moore, we talk about why the acclaimed graphic novel writer distanced himself from the film. When the frequent Wachowski collaborator and producer Alan Silver claimed Moore gave the film his blessing, which he did not, Moore asked for his name to be removed from the credits. Even still, Moore rejected the script itself and when we examine the differences between the film and source material we can see why. Both the graphic novel and film can be seen as separate, complimentary stories, but are so vastly difference that we can't really say it's a “good adaptation,” despite being fond of both. Listen to the full episode for more on this!We also talk about what the Wachowskis bring to the film. It wasn't directed by them, but by their assistant director from the Matrix Trilogy, James McTeague. Still, we can still feel their influence in what segments get special attention, the montages, and how we experience time and how everything is connected.Putting this film together, with who was involved, who was cast, when it was filmed, where it was filmed.. there are so many connections and references that we don't even get into all of it. Despite being a little sillier in some places, more digestible than something as heavy and poignant as Andor (which Austin HIGHLY recommends,) the film delivers some moments that may never be forgot.You can listen to this episode ANYWHERE you get your podcasts!

V de Venganza. Veinte años de revolución Un revolucionario anarquista se enfrenta a un estado fascista. Él, simplemente conocido como V, quiere liberar a Inglaterra del totalitarismo y la intolerancia, y con ella, levantar al mundo entero. Pero su camino estará lleno de dificultades muy difíciles de prever. El rodaje de V de Venganza, la película que cuenta esa historia, también estuvo lleno de penurias, desde un guion rechazado por Alan Moore –porque según él se separaba demasiado del cómic escrito por él y que fue la inspiración para la película–, hasta un rudo proceso de doblaje de los diálogos de nuestro anti héroe, encarnado por Hugo Weaving. Ligada a Matrix en más de un sentido, muy aplaudida en su estreno, revisada con devoción por hordas de fans, V de Venganza cumple 20 años y para celebrarlo es que hacemos este episodio del podcast Cinegarage. El invitado no podía ser otro que Cha, que además de integrante de Fobia y Gran Sur, es especialista y conocedor del mundo del cómic y fan de V de Venganza, una historia explosiva, como un Judas gordo de semana santa.

Shane Carruth and his buddy build a time machine for $7,000 in a time when such things were possible. Joe & Adam reflect on Primer, a great or unnecessarily complicated film depending on who you ask. Primer was a darling of Independent cinema in 2004, and holds a place in the hearts of many hard sci-fi fans. This episode includes a discussion about time travel, and a series of impersonations of Hugo Weaving as the Agent from The Matrix.
Paul Kelly is a bona fide legend. The singer and songwriter from Australia who has been writing and performing songs that dive deep into the human condition as well as anyone for over for decades. His song "How To Make Gravy" is so iconic it has spawned an unoffical holidy in Australia, Gravy Day, and a feature film starring Hugo Weaving. Kelly has written a memoir, racked up shelves worth of Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, and is likely among your favorite songwriter's favorite songwriters. His latest album Seventy is a masterful collection of songs which includes "Rita Wrote a Letter," which is the sequel to 1992's "How To Make Gravy." Y'all, I have worn out this CD in my car and it is an enormous honor to bring you my conversation with Paul Kelly.

Municipalities, start your engines!! Or… get ready to eat each other? We're finishing off our Rings series today with the final (?) major live action narrative production from Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and the whole WETA gang. It may not be Tolkien-related, but hey, Hugo Weaving wields a blade in it! It's tragic that the film didn't start a new era for Jackson, and we're sorting through its disastrous box office fallout this week along with some predictions for what the future has in store for WETA.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such podcasts. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is whether to twist and ka-chunk the cruciform keys given to us." That's right baby, we're back! In an episode they're calling "severely delayed by illness, auditions and the Olympics" we're opening up the doors to the vault and inducting Peter Jackson's 2001 classic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring into the podcast canon, fresh on the heels of its 25th anniversary theatrical re-release. Fellowship was directed by Peter Jackson, written by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (off the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien) and stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis. It's a movie that J Mo has now seen seven times in theaters, and one Hayley recently got engaged while in the middle of watching, so suffice to say this is a very special movie for both of us. We talk all about that and more, so get into it! No clue when we'll be back, but thanks for sticking with us, we love you.

In this episode, we break down V for Vendetta — a political thriller that feels more relevant today than ever before. We explore the film's themes of control, freedom, rebellion, and identity, and analyze how it uses symbolism to comment on government, fear, and power. We also dive into Hugo Weaving's incredible performance as V, Natalie Portman's transformation, and how the film's message has evolved in modern culture. From the meaning behind the mask to the lasting impact of its ideas, this is one of the most powerful breakdowns we've done yet.

Our threat levels were critical, but they've been neutralized, because we're just that good and you know it. And we're never leaving Slough House. Hey, just like River!Chris is back this week with Bankole and Angel for the rollercoaster finale of 'Slow Horses' Season 5 on Apple TV, and together the squad tries to figure out what this new resolution might mean for the show going forward, while celebrating Diana's takeover finally landing.After Chris gives his debrief on the London Film Festival, they start by marveling at the truth behind Lamb's story from episode 3 (11:34), before quickly addressing both the competence and significance of the dissidents' plan for retribution (16:04). They also call River out for projecting and applaud for Claude for managing to somehow fail upwards into survival, which is as hilarious as it is surprising.Additionally, they dive into a discussion on whether the show wants us to believe River is competent (32:13) and why Claude never stood a chance against Lamb (37:12), as well as how the book handled the events of the episode — and season — a bit differently (47:18), after which they share some fun recommendations and their expectations for the already high-octane sixth season of the show (50:30).You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Chris' London Film Festival Highlights!Chris' take on 'The Secret Agent'.Chris full 'Sentimental Value' review.Chris on the new 'Knives Out': 'Wake Up Dead Man'.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Ebube subs in for Chris this week, but our squad doesn't miss a beat as they engage in one of the all-time great debriefs. Bankole, Angel and Ebube are under intense interrogation this week about the events of the penultimate episode of 'Slow Horses' Season 5. First, they respond to some recent comments from our YouTube listeners (6:24) before heading - with their eyes closed - to the Piss Underpass (19:55). They then wrap up by heading to The Park and scrutinising Claude's saviour complex and deciding just who to trust (28:30).You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Ebube and AngelProduction by: Bankole Imoukhuede
The squad dives into the wild events of the mayoral rallies on this week's ‘Slow Horses'. Before that though, they herald the upcoming arrival of the next Apple TV+ show based on books by Mick Herron — ‘Down Cemetery Road' — set to premiere once Slow Horses concludes its current season.Now halfway through the season, the chaos is like a train wreck — we can't stop watching. River and Coe have taken the description of "Loser-Misfit-Boozer" to entirely new heights this time, while Flyte rapidly skyrockets up our likability rankings.Bankole, Angel and Chris also can't help but praise Claude's unexpected competence in wielding his influence (7:20), and we'll just have to see how long that lasts.You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Wait a second... Is Lamb... Worried?!Bankole, Chris and Angel are on the edge of their seats this week, watching Jackson Lamb potentially on the back foot for what might just be the first ever in what is probably Bankole's favorite episode of 'Slow Horses' till date.The guys start by dutifully listening to Angel explain why everyone should watch HBO's 'The Pitt' — she's very convincing — and then go on to discuss the duality of enjoying seeing the agents working together in one place while wishing they weren't doing it in captivity.The team also tries to discern just how much truth might be present in Lamb's tall tale, and if he could even be talking about himself, as well as how it's possible for Roddy to be as delusional and irresponsible as he is. They of course also hand out this week's Louisa Awards for competence and decide who this week's slowest horse is.You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTubeHost: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Does anyone do any work around here? Well, of course not — this is Slough House. And somehow Roddy's delusion has only grown since last week.Bankole returns with Chris and Angel for the second episode of 'Slow Horses' season 5 on Apple TV+, and miraculously they might be on the same wavelength with Lamb for once: they can't decide which character is the least competent.They start by providing some much needed recommendations for the current — and upcoming — season of TV (what a time to be alive). Then they get into this week's action and give props to Shirley for being the only agent who's actually awake in this episode (7:10). They also put out a notice that Claude's days are numbered, and take some educated guesses on what the assailants' true motives might be. Is it all connected?...You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
A fifth season?! We are SO back. Back in the trenches of course. Bankole is joined by Chris and Angel for the season five premiere of 'Slow Horses' on Apple TV+, and they're frankly still reeling from the events of the season four finale.They discuss the current state of affairs for each character in an attempt to figure out who's doing the worst, weigh Louisa's big decision, and grieve River not knowing what to do with himself, before making an official proclamation of Lamb's greatest insults.And while they're at it, they try to uncover who may be after Roddy.You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTubeHost: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
In 2010 Universal took another step towards rebooting the Dark Universe with a straight shot at a remake of the 1941 classic The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney Jr. This time starring Benecio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving and with the late addition direction of Joe Johnston it does manage to capture some of the magic of a classic monster movie. But also it's not that good even though Mason liked it.

On this episode of Paid in Puke, we're having a gay old time in the Australian outback with Stephan Elliott's 1994 debut feature, "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", starring Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp. It tells the story of two drag queens and one trans woman who bring their cabaret act across the country to places both receptive and dangerous. The movie has some Hot Probs (including an inexcusable Asian stereotype character), but it also served as a pioneering film queer cinema, despite the cis maleness of the three lead actors. We're joined by special guest Lynn Harris: writer, producer, standup comedian and founder and CEO of Gold Comedy. We discuss the origin of pride parades, the proverbial desert that is trans representation, how far drag has come since the 90s, and some of our favorite modern queens.

La Órbita de Endor se centra esta semana en analizar la película V DE VENDETTA, la adaptación del cómic (recuerda que el análisis del cómic lo tienes en el LODE 15x42) que contaba con la presencia en pantalla de Natalie Portman y Hugo Weaving. El film se tomaba varias licencias a la hora de mostrar en pantalla la venganza y revolución del personaje enmascarado V, que dio como resultado un producto muy diferente a la obra en viñetas, pero vistosa y con grandes aciertos y, debido a esto, o al menos así lo consideramos en este podcast, merece un monográfico de los nuestros como es debido. ¡Únete a Jaime Angulo, Lord Pelayo, Christian Presa y Antonio Runa, con tu máscara de Guy Fawkes y volemos parlamentos!

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on the eighteenth episode when Case sat down with Drew Lewandowski and chatted about Captain America: The First Avenger! Overview In the latest episode of the 'Another Pass at Another Pass' podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea review 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' reflecting on its role as a unifying film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). They discuss the film's strong character setup in the first half but critique a rushed third act and missed opportunities for deeper character development, particularly concerning the Howling Commandos and the relationship between Howard Stark and Steve Rogers. Praise is given to the casting, especially Chris Evans as Captain America and Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, while discussing suggestions for improving narrative flow.

“Granny shagger!” - Steve, on Aragorn and Arwen's vast age gap On this week's We ❤️ Movies, we're chatting about the absolutely magnificent conclusion to the journey, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King! First of all, yes, we are discussing the four-hour and twenty-three-minute extended edition! How magnificent is John Noble's demise in this movie? Of all the stuff they could've cut from the theatrical, why on Earth did they ditch Sarumon's big fall? How horny is Eowyn for Aragorn? Was there a funnier way to include Sean Bean in that one scene? And should The Hobbit trilogy be re-evaluated? (Andrew thinks so!) PLUS: Samwise is framed for leaving nothing but Krackel in the Halloween variety pack! The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King stars Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Bernard Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, John Noble, Miranda Otto, John Rhys-Davies, Andy Serkis, Liv Tyler, Karl Urban, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, and Ian McKellen as Gandalf; directed by Peter Jackson. Our show this weekend in Portland is sold out, but tickets are still available for our show this Friday in Seattle! We're stoked to hit the PNW after so many years away, so let's get ready to party! Make the WHM Merch Store your one-stop shop for all your We Hate Movies merch-related needs! Including new Bus Movie, Night Vision & Too Old For This Shit designs!
