A rare transmission from Film Chat finds us reviewing Oscar-winning thriller Promising Young Woman, which did not speak to this podcast's male hosts.

223. Soul, Wild Mountain Thyme & Hamilton

221. Mank
On this episode we review David Fincher's latest film, Mank, in which everyone's favourite old man, Gary Oldman plays the legendary screenwriter Herman J Mankiewicz.

-
220. The Trial of the Chicago 7 & Borat 2
Our latest episode sneaking out gives our listeners a chance to play another game of "When Did We Record This?" Under the microscope this time are a double dose of political Sacha Baron Cohen movies that between them are probably responsible for Biden's election victory. Well done Sacha!! In The...

219. I'm Thinking of Ending Things
On this belated episode of Film Chat, Danny reviews anticipated threequel Bill and Ted: Face the Music in which the internet's boyfriend Keanu Reeves teams up with that guy who was in the previous films to give you a hit of nostalgia laced joy.

218. Tenet & Irresistible
On this episode we review the much-anticipated and still-in-cinemas Tenet, Christopher Nolan's latest high-concept, low-IQ blockbuster. We didn't know what the heck was going on but at least the explosions were all in-camera. Plus Danny gives his take on Jon Stewart's misfiring political satire...
-
217. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 7
Film Chat episodes are just like buses. You wait 3 months for one and then two come along within a week of each other. That's the saying right? On this belated ep we give scorching hot takes on the latest Judd Apatow man child dramedy The King of Staten Island, Alex Garland's robo chamber piece…
more -
216. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 6
After an editing process longer than those of the the last three Christopher Nolan films combined, this archive audio recorded back in May 2020 is now ready for consumption by contemporary audiences. Remember May? It was a lot like now except barbers weren't open and Tenet hadn't come out. This...
-
215. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 5
Our good friend Georgia Mills joins us to revisit 1999's Best Picture winner American Beauty, which turns out to be a real hot mess. We also grill Georgia about the scientific accuracy of films such as Lucy, The Matrix, and The Martian, and learn about "double bees". Plus, we take a look at…

more -
212. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 2
Several weeks into the lockdown the cracks are starting to show in the Film Chat machine so prepare for yourself for an episode which is somehow even less well prepped and even more free wheelin' then the last one. Our conversation covers the following classic films that you've been dying to hear...
-
211. Quarantine Chronicles Vol 1
We may be hunkered down inside forts made of panic-bought loo rolls and egg cartons, but we're still in contact with one another and we have the ability to record ourselves, so the podcast goes on!!! In this loose, even less prepped edition of Film Chat, we meander around what we've been watching...
-
210. Escape From Pretoria & Bacurau
With the Coronavirus forcing us all to self isolate everyone has more time to do one thing. Knitting. Unfortunately, like idiots, we made this podcast where we watch films, an activity nobody was doing before the pandemic and has only decreased as a result of it. Nevertheless we pointlessly…

209. Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Birds of Prey & A Field in England
For this episode we shake off the contrarian attitude we took towards Midsommar and join in with the hordes of critics lavishing praise on Céline Sciamma's period romance Portrait of a Lady on Fire. We agree with the professional chumps - it's good! Plus, Sam offers his take on the Suicide Squad...
-
208. Parasite & The Personal History of David Copperfield

-
206. Uncut Gems, 1917 & Midsommar
On this week's episode, we place the acclaimed, much-memed Uncut Gems under our critical loupe and check it for flaws. We also add to our collection of awards-season related opinions by reviewing the widely nominated historical epic 1917, in which Roger Deakins stalks a pair of young soldiers...
-
205. Little Women
On this episode of Film Chat, Sam and Danny review the deeply misleadingly titled Little Women. Which, contrary to it's title, is about a group of regular sized sisters growing up during the civil war. Seriously the smallest one is probably round 5'2, absolute bullshit* PLUS Danny gives belated…
more -
204. CHRISTMAS & Cats & Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
It's the Film Chat Christmas Special, as we reflect on the year gone by accompanied by messages from our listeners, some seasonal sound effects, and surreptitiously munched mince pies. We offer our own top 10, or top 7 or so in Sam's case since he didn't see enough good films to fill out the…
more -
203. The Nightingale, Frozen 2 & Knives Out

more -
200. Monos & The Laudromat
It's our 200th episode!!! We celebrate this massive landmark by acknowledging it. Otherwise this episode is just like the other ones. REVIEWED: Monos, an acclaimed, surreal arthouse film about child guerrillas that Peter Bradshaw called "deeply mad" in a five-star review. Danny condemns the film...

197. Support the Girls, In Fabric & Yesterday
On this episode not satisfied with his tope bag that says "nevertheless she persisted" on it and his subscription to Bust magazine, Danny takes another step to prove how much of a woke bae he is by seeing Support the Girls, the brilliant new film by Andrew Bujalski all about female solidarity and...
-
196. High Life, Booksmart, Late Night & Sunset
It's a bonafide review bonanza this week on Film Chat as we review 4 films which are so dissimilar to each other they're like four radically different peas in an unusual pod. Danny reviews High Life in which Juliette Binoche plays a crazed scientist hell-bent on harvesting Robert Pattinson's…
more -
195. Thunder Road & Eighth Grade

-
194. Detective Pikachu, Birds of Passage, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum
"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" someone once said, and by a similar token there is simply no way to talk about Detective Pikachu. But Sam tries. He also informs you that the representation of dogs is much improved in the third John Wick film, John Wick: Chapter 3 -...
-
193. Avengers Endgame
On this belated episode, we review the little indie drama Avengers: Endgame. At the time of recording it had only grossed £5, but if audiences get out there and support this overlooked gem it might gross as much as £10! PLUS we discuss the controversial Sonic the hedgehog trailer and wonder…
more -
192. The Sister Brothers & Wild Rose
It's International Cowboy Boots Week, so we're reviewing two films with cowboy boots in them. The one with the most cowboy boots is Jacques Audiard's The Sisters Brothers, an off-beat, star-studded Western which features quite a few shod cowboys. The other, Wild Rose, comes up short in the cowboy...
-
191. Us
In the words of my last six girlfriends before they swore of men forever, "We need to talk about Us".... By which I mean we will be reviewing Jordan Peele's latest politically astute horror, Us which make us go "Ahhh!" and "Hmmm!" in equal measure. By which I mean it scared us and made us think....
-
190. Being Frank & Captain Marvel
It feels like literally months since the last Marvel film came out, so Sam was absolutely champing at the bit to see the latest offering, Captain Marvel - a title which, if it wasn't referencing a property created in the 60s, would suggest the franchise had expended every single other possible...
-
189. Childhood Cancelled: Insect Animations
This week, we shake up the format by discussing three animated films about insects of different kinds: Antz, A Bug's Life, and Bee Movie. For too long, people have been uncritically absorbing these cute movies about little critters and their adventures without asking, "am I indoctrinating my kids...

more -
187. Green Book, Alita Battle Angel & If Beale Street Could Talk
On this belated edition of Film Chat we review what we are positive will be the most talked about film of the year. I am of course referring to the groundbreaking Alita: Battle Angel. Danny also found time to review Green Book which he found to be an overly simplistic, somewhat offensive look at...
-
186. Vice
This week we chat about the Oscar-nominated Vice, which features some of the most Dick-Cheney-like rubber ever glued to a human face. It's angry, it's polemical, it breaks the fourth wall constantly, and the fake liver spots are second to none. But is it good? That's the question we would have...
-
185. Burning, Fyre Festival & Bird Box
On this bumper packed edition of Film Chat we were delighted to be joined by the world's best scientist Georgia Mills for an episode which is packed full of so much science that it makes....err....Brian Cox's podcast sound even worse than it already is.....i assume...i don't listen to it...why...
-
184. Beautiful Boy, Shoplifters & Brexit: The Uncivil War
Film Chat is back for 2019, gearing up for another year of doing what we do best - or at least doing what we do persistently - chatting about films. Hey you know what's bad? Brexit. It's an absurdity that should never have been allowed; a massive crime perpetrated by an unaccountable elite, sold...

-
182. Christmas Special ft. Aquaman & Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Our long-lost producer Katie returns from the faraway land of Sweden to join us for a festive special, which I don't think it's an exaggeration to claim is by far the most Christmassy 55 minutes it's possible to spend this holiday season. Featuring: Our listeners' best and worst films of the…

181. The House That Jack Built & Sorry To Bother You
On this episode Danny tackles the most controversial film of the year Lars Von Trier's The House That Jack Built. The only thing more controversial will be his Danny's review which is eye wateringly explicit in every sense of the word. We then review Sorry To Bother You a hilarious and scabrous...
-
180. Roma & Assassination Nation
On this episode we review Roma, Alfonso Cuaron's beguiling monochrome drama which screams "classy" at such high volumes 99% of the audience is guaranteed to feel under-dressed watching it. Danny meanwhile enters "epic rant" mode to tear strips out of Assassination Nation, in a review so scathing...
