  • Good hosts often wrong

    The podcast is fine and the hosts are fun, but they often get things wrong with relation to new releases (“this is the third in a series” when it’s actually the fourth, as the most recent example) seems they don’t look into the films they go to see.

  • Delightfully joyously informative

    My new favourite podcast, the most entertaining and honest (‘reel!!) way to keep up with new releases in a way that inspires you to check them out - or not! They both know a lot about the film industry and have some great chats. Love it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: "My name was 'Gay Gasp'..."
Q: Graham asks if the show would review old classic films, sharing his Glasgow fan perspective and his love for Rocky as a franchise staple.
The hosts acknowledge the value of revisiting classics and propose to feature a rotating slate of evergreen titles, including Rocky Balboa and other Golden Age films, when a week isn't overwhelmed by newer releases.
HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS BONUS: "two chimp masks and a couple of strap ons"
Q: How has Halloween Horror Nights evolved over the years to keep it fresh for returning guests?
Laura explains that growth comes from expanding the number of houses and scare zones, refining live shows, and continuously listening to guests to balance different tastes, from gore to story-driven fright, while weaving in original content and popular franchises.
BONUS: "Pazuzu, behave yourself!"
Q: If you could only watch films from one actor, who would you pick?
Honey and Jonathan discuss strong favorite actors who offer a wide range, such as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jean-Paul Belmondo, noting how their bodies of work cover diverse genres and moods.
EP 125: Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, The Chestnut Man: Hide & Seek, The Outlaws
Q: Imogen says, My question is, what is something that TV dramas used to do brilliantly that modern television has largely abandoned? And do you think we're better or worse off for it?
They miss long-running series that let characters grow gradually, with episodes that feel uneventful yet essential to character development, and they also miss musical episodes as a bold, creative device; overall, the hosts believe more serialized experiments and live drama could enrich contemporary TV.
BONUS: "Why would you want a stinky little man?!"
Q: What was your spookiest moment in film or TV that stuck with you and kept you up at night?
Memorable scares often come from unpredictable turns or clever direction, like the one-shot sequence in Exorcist 3 or the mirror cut in Widows Bay, which linger because of their atmosphere and execution.
