T2 is back in the cinema which prompts this discussion as it is a classic 90s action movie and the quintessential Schwarzenegger performance. We have all seen it so many times but we were too young to see in the cinema first time round. Kev managed to catch it recently on the big screen which reignites all the 90s childhood memories of watching this when we were too young. We feel this is even better than we remember and not just a standard action movie, it is so much more.

Welcome to our first 'Deep Dive' episode where we pick an actor, director, genre, year etc to discuss in detail. Today we discuss the charismatic Colin Farrell. It's an interesting chat as he has a varied personal life from charity to rehab and a range of movies where you can see his growth through the years. Even in his early career he worked with high calibre actors and directors and we all agree where his strengths are which we want to see more of. We also let you know about what new movies he has started production on.

Our regular guest turns the tables on us and asks us questions she has devised herself. Kate delves into our early days, how we met, some deep questions and some fun questions. We were not made aware of any questions before hand and I think this yields an honest and interesting response from us all. We hope you enjoy this episode which is a bit different from our usual focus but with all the fun and charisma Kate brings to the Pod as usual.

The nation is talking about this new Netflix series written by Stephen Graham & Jack Thorne. A story of a 13 year old boy being arrested and accused of murdering a girl in his class. This realistic, gritty, intense and powerful story is perfectly acted with believable vulnerability and emotion and the 1 shot per episode really adds to the technicality of the crew and makes the audience live in the moment, experiencing everything in real time. We cover themes of social media, bullying, toxic masculinity, male rage, lack of respect for women and the picking up on the behaviour of male role models because of how impressionable children can be to the wrong influences. Many are dealing this one of the most perfect TV series of all time and we have to agree and its a huge talking point and inspires debates about parenting, family, schools, governments, the legal system, mental health and the hidden world of what children look at on their phones.

Kev & Drew have freshly seen this new Bong Joon Ho Sci-Fi action comedy starring Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette & Mark Ruffalo. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and discussed the deep topics that arise here from Politics, Religion and Race to Animal Cruelty and Ethics. This has an incredible cast with impressive acting from all in this ensemble cast.
Please see the film before listening to this episode.

A double feature today discussing these 2 films. More to discuss than originally expected and we could've talked longer on both but we hope you enjoy the fun debates we have here. A wild horror movie from the mind of Stephen King and the adaptation and directing from Osgood Perkins (Long Legs) and another Marvel film, or is it more than just another Marvel film?

Today's guest is a friend of Drews, they go back to 2008 when they met as fellow Ushers at the theatre during the Wicked Musical run in London and talk about how he got his auditions, his agent and the progression of his career. He his it strong early on by being offered the part of Billy Kitchen in the critically acclaimed Peaky Blinders the he acts alongside Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy, what an incredible start., He goes from strength to strength with Dune: Part One, The Witcher, Vikings, The Acolyte and the highly anticipated Mission Impossible 8 The Final Reckoning. We also discuss his passion for being a positive person in the industry by being an ambassador for CALM the charity which is dedicated to helping people who are struggling or in crisis. We end by discussing Tom Cruise and the famous coconut cake Paul received from him that many celebrities on The Graham Norton Show have mentioned. This is a fun conversation; really thoughtful, interesting and we were all gripped by what Paul had to say about navigating the movie industry and his experiences working with some of the greats.

We discuss the most talked about movie of 2024 and it's still a hot topic and highly relevant. This movie is a feast for the eyes with the exceptional cinematography, colour pallet, editing style and impressive directing by a Coralie Fargeat, the only female director who is nominated for an Oscar in a category full of men and we all agree deserves to win. The only problem is that horror films don't do well at the Oscars but hopefully things are about to change. This is the rebirth of Demi Moore showing how talented and brave she is with what this role demands, the risk was huge and now it's time for the reward. This isn't a surface level horror, this taps into the real world issues with societal expectations, and how we treat people, especially women who are getting older, but the themes can relate to everyone.

Peter from New Jersey joins us again today to discuss the Oscars nominations. We delve into some detail on the main films up for the awards and who we predict will win compared to who we believe should win. We also discuss the snubs and debate between ourselves on who deserves the recognition. But before that we have some movie news to discus to discuss the new movie Companion which Kev and Peter saw this week. But during the conversation there is one clear winner of the Oscars but will it be as recognised as we think it should be? I think we need to be ready for some disappointment! We'll have to wait till March to find out.

After discussing the zeitgeist of 1999 regarding news, music and movies we delve into the cultural significance and forward thinking of the revolutionary movie which has been parodied many times. We discuss this timeless classic, delving into cinematic techniques and character dynamics including meta moments and philosophical choices with symbolism and deeper meanings. We discuss behind the scenes of making this movie and all the actors that were considered for the parts. This movie stands the test of time and is still exciting and thought provoking 26 years later.

We talk about Kate travelling all the way from Zurich to Chester to visit family and the failed attempt to meet Kev for a beer. We have a couple of strange questions from our regular listeners which take our conversation on a strange path talking about animal bums, funny situations in the cinema and creating our own musical. Kev briefly discusses the new movie Presence without spoilers which brings us on to the topic of ghosts. Drew has had so many ghosts experiences but everyone has a creepy or strange experience they share with the group.

Our deep dive into the David Fincher masterpiece with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. This may be the 30th anniversary but this movie still hits hard and is full of atmosphere, drama, comedy and tense moments. It follows the two detectives try to solve a serial killer who is using the seven deadly sins as his motives. So much to talk about here, we had to stop as we could've gone on for a further hour. We talk about behind the scenes of the filmmaking, subtle clues within the story as well as the dynamics between the actors and the disturbing but genius scenes.

Today's episode marks a full year since we started recording Rage Whale. It's Kevs Birthday and he tells us about his weekend in London, gigs, a massage and predictably the cinema.

[Some serious subjects discussed] We had a fun conversation and a laugh with the man that is well known for the opposite: Lewis Saunderson the actor famous for his distressing, raw and emotionally captivating performances on social media with approx 2 Million followers on TikTok and with over 255k Instagram followers. Known as the TikTok Crying Guy, he reimagines emotional movie scenes, creates relevant videos to the current culture but always puts 1000% into his performances raising awareness for a variety of subject matters. We discuss how he progressed to this place in life after finding out how our Drew met and worked with Lewis a couple of decades ago whilst creating a short film together. We delve into his inspiration, cancel culture, mental health and emotional movie scenes as well as a recent video he posted which received some negative press. Although we cover serious subjects which could trigger people we also have fun with a Movie quiz and delving into movies in general. We didn't get through all the questions we had for him so here's looking forward to a further episode towards the end of 2025.

Kev, James & Drew welcome you to a fun episode where we discuss all the movie news that is current even including a diversion into Grand Theft Auto 6 computer game which has some interesting planned upgrades delaying its release. We discuss Mr Beast Games and Squid Games and play devils advocate debating the enjoyment in watching, mixed with the psychological torment and effects on the real life players and is Mr Beast creating a fun show or is this plain and simply a rich person gloating in his extreme wealth and toying with needy people? We end discussing the Golden Globes and if any of our guesses from episode 80 and 81 were accurate. This doesn't fully go to plan but we hope you enjoy.
