From the bowels of a bustling Times Square restaurant (shot on a stage in Mexico) to a 1,000km coastal walk around England, Movie Squad goes around the globe this week.

The Order is now streaming in Australia. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat about Lucy and Tristan's favourite film romances.

New year, same babes. Movie Squad returns to RTRFM's airwaves in 2025 with hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo (aka the Blockbuster Babes, fka the Gemini Men), sharing their spicy film takes with Breakfast host Pam Boland (aka “the human airhorn”… actually, forget that, nickname not endorsed).

Listen in as your hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo share their thoughts on director Sean Baker's Cannes Palme d'Or winner, starring Mikey Madison as a street-smart sex worker who finds herself married to the son of a Russian billionaire after a whirlwind romance (or is it romance?).
