33. Slow West & The Third Man

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. On this podcast we've had 33 episodes of giggling, bad impressions, meandering chit chat and too much singing, and what has that produced? Among other things, a review of The Third Man, the noir classic and Best British Film Ever which is back in cinemas following a digital restoration.Also out this week is Slow West, the unconventional Western that sees Michael Fassbender's sexy gunslinger and Kodi Smit-McPhee's less sexy lovelorn waif trying to navigate the not-at-all-sexy hazards of 19th century Colorado. Did Film Chat like it? Find out in our extremely sexy review.We also discuss: a pair of attempts to bring past hits back to life, as sequels line up for gay plane film Top Gun and angry pagans film The Wicker Man; Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Downey Jr.'s dream to transform their idea for a live action Pinocchio into a real film; and Film Chat listener Dougal's drug-addled liveblogging of his experience watching the rom com Leap Year.
