Welcome back to another episode in our season about films and dreams. Sometimes those two things have been loosely connected this season but there is no ambiguity this time. Today we’re discussing our 2nd David Patrick Kelly movie (check out our The Warriors show), Dreamscape from the glorious year of 1984. The year that bought us so many of our favourite films. Is Dreamscape one of them?!
We discuss the production and development process, David Patrick Kelly, Nunchucks, sandwiches, Saxophones, hats and snakes.

We’re back with another episode in our season of films about dreams. This week we’re turning once again to Nicolas Cage in the Kristoffer Borgli film, Dream Scenario.
The last time we spoke about Cage was for our Con Air episode and his turn as Paul Matthews in Dream Scenario couldn’t be more different than Cameron Poe. Not a furry bunny in sight in Dream Scenario.
We talk about our first impressions when watching it in 2023, our interpretation and why Paul Matthews is the way he is. If you haven’t listened to our Come True episode, we’d recommend diving in with that one first as we spoke about the Jungian archetypes in that show which helped us unpack Dream Scenario.

For the third episode in our line-up of movies about dreaming, we take it back to the 1990's with the Alex Proyas written and directed Dark City (1998).
Did we mean to cover two William Hurt movies in a row? Is Lost in Space next? How did he get that Accordion? What did we think of the performances? Does the Neo-noir element of Dark City still hold up? Did Richard O'Brien let Alex Proyas have 30 seconds in the dome? Come find out by pressing play.

Sticking with our season of films about dreams, we turn our head to Ken Russell for the 1980 Sci-Fi/Horror Altered States.
What do we think the visual elements of this film mean? Did John C. Lilly talk to Dolphins? Why did Paddy Chayefsky and Ken Russell fall out? How did a pair of Betty Boop socks convince the cast to be in the film? Why is this in a season of films about dreams? All will be revealed by simply kicking back and pressing play.

Come True (2020) is a Horror/Sci-Fi written and directed by Anthony Scott Burns and is the first movie in Dan's season of movies about dreams.
Find out what we think it means, hear us gush about the sound and question if slippers are hard wearing enough for miles of walking on tarmac. Actually we don't discuss footwear at all, that's just one of the notes we didn't talk about. To be fair, there are so many other things to dive into with this one.

It's that time again. Yes, it's just 1 week before we begin our brand new season so it must be time for a bonus show. This time we thought we would release our Twisters show on the main feed which we dropped over on our Patreon last week.
We go a little spoilery on this one although some would argue that there really isn't that much to spoil. Find out what we thought of Twisters and what was under Glen Powell's hat.
Next week we begin our seventh season which Dan has chosen and programmed. This time he's gone for "Dreams". Expect the usual eclectic and tenuously themed movies in the line-up which you can see on our FREE tier over on Patreon
If you would like to support the show and would also like more content from us, sign up to our £3.00 a month tier on Patreon. Over there you'll have access to all six of our end of season wrap shows and a minimum of 2 reviews of brand new movies every single month. We usually over deliver on that and we're now at around 70 extra pieces of content and it will just keep growing.
We begin our dreams season on Monday 5th August for another 8 weeks of themed movies which runs until 23rd September. If you're a new listener or if you haven't rated on your podcast player yet, we'd love it if you did. It can be as easy as rating 5 stars on Spotify and it really helps the podcast get found by like-minded folk. or come hang out with us on social media:Instagram | X | TikTok | Threads | YouTube

This week we're covering our most recent movie yet. We sit down to talk about Zach Cregger's Barbarian (2020).
We talk about the Writer/Director's inspiration for Barbarian, the unusual changes in tone and how it all fits together.

If you can't wait until then, check out our Patreon page for an end of season wrap show which drops next week.

The Breakfast club is considered by many to be the peak of the John Hughes gold rush of the 80s. Everyone has a favorite John Hughes movie. But where does The Breakfast Club stand in our opinion? Come and find out.
We also talk about why Andrew is taping buns together (Dan learns what buns are), Bender’s unacceptable behavior and the fan theory that suggests the entire movie takes place in Allison’s head.

This week we're talking Dogtooth (2009) from Writer/Director Yorgos Lanthimos. In an uncommon scheduling coincidence, this episode ties in with the release of his latest film, Kinds of Kindness, which we'll no doubt cover on our Patreon feed.
But for now, come listen to us discuss what it all means. Why does Yorgos insist on making his audience feel uncomfortable? Is that the point? Why is Rex?

As we approach the halfway mark in our season of Trapped movies, we return to the glorious well of John Carpenter with Assault on Precinct 13 (1976).

We are taking a slightly darker turn this week with Bad Boy Bubby (1993). The film that search-engines describes as a Comedy/Crime film but we don’t think it’s quite that simple. It’s a film about abuse, growing up, religion and art and doesn’t fit neatly into any one genre.
We discuss Rolf de Heer’s vision and the techniques he used to deliver this unusual piece of work to the world. We also talk about Nicholas Hope’s performance, character motivations, Bagpipes and what would happen if a human ate nothing but bread and sugar for 30 years. The answer is not nothing.

It’s the 2nd episode in Sarah’s season of Trapped films. This time we’re talking Alex Garland’s 2014 Sci-fi/Thriller, Ex Machina.
There is so much to cover in Ex Machina which is why it turned into a bumper episode. We get into Alex Garland’s career leading up to Ex Machina and beyond, the 2014 perspective of AI, Domhnall Gleeson’s pyjamas and why billionaires are lunatics.

We're back with a new season. This time Sarah has chosen the theme and carefully put together the lineup of films we're covering over the next 8 weeks.
The first stop in our Trapped season is Vincenzo Natali's Cube (1997.)
Listen as we discuss the production, story, performances and why Sting sings like that.

It's bonus show time. This week we talk about the Ryan Gosling fronted action comedy, The Fall Guy.
Next week we begin our sixth season which Sarah has carefully considered and programmed. This time she's gone for "Trapped" as the season's theme with some very interesting movies in the lineup. We kick of with 1997's Cube so if you haven't seen it and want to listen, go see Jeff about a stream.

We made it to the end of another season. This episode marks the end of our Neo-Western series and we're ending with a banger (and another film that isn't a Neo-Western.) It's Big Trouble in Little China. And you know what Jack Burton always says at a time like this?! Sure he says "I never drive faster that I can see," but he also says "always listen to Shoot The Hostage."
We get into John Carpenter's career, our favourite JC movies and why this one flopped on it's initial release. Plus we run through all of the questions asked by Jack Burton.
We are back on May 20th for a brand new season and this time it's Sarah's choice.
