Episodes

  1. 14: COMING OF AGE

    It's more of a dual conversation than a recommended double feature this episode with discussions on two ends of the coming of age spectrum in SUMMER 1993 and DAZED AND CONFUSED. Plus as always some discussion on new releases as we share our opposing thoughts on The Drama.

  2. 13: SPRING

    You might say we've made it to summer but The Film Pheasants are springing back into an action with another seasonally inspired episode. Recorded a few months back (when it was still spring!), the resident pheasants discuss another Éric Rohmer in the form of A TALE OF SPRINGTIME and dig into…

  3. Episode 12: THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SHOW

    The month is October 2024 and it’s been a year of The Film Pheasants. Released from the archives is our one year ranking and celebration of the first year, whittling down 22 movies into a top 7 list. Expect drama, mild disagreement and lots of movie talk. Stick around to the end for Brad’s…

  4. Episode 11: EUROPEAN SUMMER

    Well well well, the pheasants are back after a year and a half hiatus but first there is some unfinished business in the form of two unreleased episodes of podcast gold that we have unearthed from the depths of the film pheasant archives. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as Dan and Brad time travel…

  5. Episode 10: RIDLEY SCOTT

    In anticipation of Gladiator 2 starring the one and only Paul Mescal, we delve into two varied Ridley Scott classics. The original GLADIATOR and BLADE RUNNER, two epic flawed projects that share little more than their ambition. As always, we also start off with what we've been watching lately…

  6. Episode 9: DOCUMENTARIES

    From the fly on the wall style HONEYLAND to Agnes Varda's seminal self-reflexive documentary THE GLEANERS AND I, we talk documentaries this month. Plus some musings on the Hunger Games franchise, Challengers, and Netflix series Ripley at the top of the show.

  7. Episode 8: CRIME MYSTERY

    Hello to all of you fine pheasants, we're back with another episode exploring the various sub-genres within the crime / mystery film. We tackle Howard Hawks' classic 1946 film noir THE BIG SLEEP and a more recent Spanish twisty crime thriller THE BODY (El cuerpo). We also dig into Josh O'Connor's...

  8. Episode 7: ROMANCE

    Join us as we don't see eye to eye on Wong Kar-wai's masterpiece IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE and delightfully pair it with British romcom classic NOTTING HILL. A Criterion collection gem and a Richard Curtis flick, what better couple of romance films could you want?

  9. Episode 6: MOVIES WITHIN MOVIES

    This show we finally cover a Pedro Almodóvar film, BAD EDUCATION, and pair it rather bizarrely with the 1990s studio comedy BOWFINGER. Two movies about movies and the making of them but also so much more. Listen in for that and of course a little talk about the Oscar nominations too.

  10. Episode 5: CHRISTMAS / NAVIDAD

    Happy New Year and Feliz Navidad. Our Christmas episode this year is dropping on the Day of the Kings in Spain as one of of our films this month is Spanish through and through, the other is an American classic. See what we make of both them and share our holiday traditions in this month's episode.

  11. Episode 4: BOOK ADAPTATIONS

    This week we tackle book adaptations to screen through the John Steinbeck / James Dean classic EAST OF EDEN and the forgotten 90s drama MAMBO KINGS, which features a young Antonio Banderas and a fantastic soundtrack. Tune in to hear our first major disagreement on the pod!

  12. Episode 3: HORROR

    Celebrate Halloween week by listening to our conversation about spooky scary movies SCREAM and TIMECRIMES. We also discuss Dan's experience at London Film Festival and talk Killers of the Flower Moon.

  13. Episode 2: GUILLERMO DEL TORO

    In this, our sophomore episode, we tackle two films from director Guillermo Del Toro. From very different sides of his filmography comes CRONOS and THE SHAPE OF THE WATER. We also have a nice catch up with some brief thoughts on Oppenheimer and a teaser for next months theme.

  14. Episode 1: TRAVEL

    For the inaugural episode, Dan and Bradley discuss the travel film double bill of Little Miss Sunshine and Y Tu Mamá También.
