Hero (2002) is up next in our poorly named kinda Wuxia month in honour of Calum's birthday. Hero is beloved on the internet, but is it beloved by Sam and Calum? Well, it certainly is colourful and that alone gives it points. We're easily distracted by shiny things. We expertly demonstrate our lack of knowledge in this one, so enjoy! Join us next we…

House of Flying Daggers (2004) is up next on Calum's Chineaboo Birthday Month! Calum has been given the early gift of a cold, so please enjoy his especially sonorous voice. If you miss Twilight month, you will probably enjoy this episode. If you enjoy this film, Calum is fine, Sam might be in trouble. Take a shot every time the words style and subs…

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) kicks off Calum's birthday month. We're watching Wuxia movies, but we can't think of a name for this month that won't get us in trouble. Sam isn't educated enough, and Calum is Calum. Cookies to anyone who can think of a name. Hopefully, this month and this film will get us some desperately needed cool points. …

What better way to conclude our second Carry On month than with a look at another of Sam's favourites from her childhood? And hey! I'm getting to write a description for once! (It's me - Calum! Mwah hah hah hah hah!). Carry On Henry, as one might expect, follows a fictionalised account of Henry VIII and his marriage to Marie of Normandy. A lot of f…

Carry On Cruising (1962) is next on our Carry On Carrying On Month. Will a cruise beat the highs and excitement of last week's spying heist? The premise would have you believe that it is unlikely, and it would be right. The stakes have never been lower, but that's okay, we're not here for the plot; we're here for the banter. This episode is full of…

Carry On Spying (1964) is up next in our Carry On Again Month. Spoiler alert, this one might be Calum's favourite Carry On film (for now). If you haven't seen this one, you're missing out on some of the most quotable Carry On moments, and you know how we usually cringe at quoting stuff so that's saying something! Join us next week as we watch Carry…

Carry On Cabby (1963) starts our new month and new theme. We enjoyed doing on the Carry On series so much that we've decided to do some more. Sam has chosen another fun selection of films for Calum to enjoy for the first time. If you want to join us in the Carry On Rewatch, we're watching Carry On Spying, Carry On Cruising, and Carry On Henry. Feel…

Yellow Submarine (1968) is the last film to feature in our Quirky Animation month, and this one certainly fits the brief. Believe it or not, Sam hadn't watched this until Calum decided we were watching this for this podcast. This means she doesn't get to keep her passport. She'll be moving to Alaska. Hopefully, there is good Wi-Fi there. Join us ne…

Paprika (2006) is up next in our quirky animations month. You'll have probably heard all about this month on social media because Sam has been really on top of posting about it. No one can remember why this film was chosen for us to watch, but it definitely fits the theme. Oh Japan. Join us next week as we watch Yellow Submarine (1968)…

The Iron Giant (1999) is next on our quirky animation month. This one is a bit of a palette cleanser as it's the least quirky, but it's still quirky enough to pass. The main character is called Hogarth and that says it all. This one was a bit of a childhood trauma for Sam, which is something Calum didn't know before he chose it, to be fair. Will th…

The Triplets of Belleville (2003), or Belleville Rendez-vous (2003) if you're in the UK, kicks off our Quirky Animation month! That's the second quirky movie month that Calum has chosen for us all, proving that he just isn't like the other girls. Sam watched this in French, Calum watched it in 'English,' but weirdly that didn't make a difference. W…

Toy Story (1995) concludes our month of films that made Sam. It was a good run, but all good things must come to an end. Toy Story was released in the same year as Sam, but has it aged as gracefully as her? You'll have to listen and find out. Next week we start our uwu quirky films month. Named that way to make Calum say uwu. It's punishment for ma…

A Bug's Life (1998) is up next in the 'Movies That Made Me' month, and maybe we didn't peak as early as we thought. Well, Mulan is still the peak, just to be clear. However, A Bug's Life is surprisingly good, to the point that it even makes Calum positive for a couple of minutes. So why has this film been so forgotten to the sands of time? We don't…

The Little Mermaid (1989) is next in "The Films That Made Me" month! We peaked at Mulan and that is okay. This film is worth watching for Under the Sea alone. However, isn't it funny how you can love a film yet still be underwhelmed when revisiting it? That inner child has a lot to answer for. Robyn saved this episode by sending Sam the files to ge…

Hercules (1997) is up next on our "Movies That Made Me" month, celebrating the 9th anniversary of Sam's 21st birthday. Is this as good as Mulan? No. But is it close? Quite! In fact, if you ask the people that Sam made watch all of these on repeat, this does in fact beat Mulan (in their wrong opinion). Once again, we attempt to talk about history an…

Mulan (1998) is the first film in our celebration of all things Sam. Birthday month season has arrived again, and we've decided to treat you and ourselves by watching the best Disney/Pixar films. Mulan (1998) is an interesting choice as the first watch of the month, as it is very obviously the best Disney film of all time. The other films this mont…

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) wraps up our Running From The End of Youth month, and what a way to go. Every Maze Runner and Dylan O'Brien fan knows it's a miracle that this film even exists, so we treat it with the reverence it deserves. In this episode, you have the same shenanigans the rest of the month offered: extreme thirst, overthinking,…

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) is up next in our 'Running Away From The End of Youth' month. May the crisis continue evermore, as we revisit the film that made up most of Sam's dissertation back when she in her early 20s. It's okay though, we have some zombies and Dylan O'Brien to distract us. This film is one we both enjoy, hence the longer…

The Maze Runner(2014) is the first in our 'Running From the End of Youth' Month. That's a working title that speaks a lot about the mindset of the poor person editing. But that's okay because Dylan O'Brien is here to save the day and give us a fun film to talk about. Sam's dissertation topic was this series, so expect some longer episodes than norm…

We're back! Hopefully, you missed us. We've decided to celebrate our fourth anniversary by talking about our latest 48 Hour Film Project. Why? Because it's our show and we can talk about what we want to. Also, that film was a lot of fun and we love talking about it. If you're thinking about doing a 48 Hour Film project this year, especially in Scot…

A Christmas Prince is the final episode of this edition of our Netflix Christmas Inception. What a film we've picked to end the year. This film is infamous among the Netflix Christmas movie stans and we can see why. This podcast will probably get us tutted at in the very least, but we regret nothing. We had a lot of fun recording this, and recordin…

The Holiday Calendar (2018) is the first episode of our 3rd edition of the Netflix Christmas Movie Inception. Join us as we fall further down the rabbit hole in a magical land where the stakes have never been lower. A poor little rich girl with a fantastic creative job and a doting "friend" yearns for a better creative job. It's a truly tragic tale…

Carry On Abroad is the last film in our Carry On Monthing line-up, and honestly, we're sad to see it go. What an unexpected joy in a chaotic year. This week we discuss our MVPs of the Carry On Series and our least favourite hotel experiences. If you've seen this movie, you know why that's relevant. If you haven't, we've probably just spoiled the pr…

Carry On Matron is up next in our Carry On Monthing line-up! Now this one is the one to beat. Anyone who watches Carry On films knows this one is one of the best. However, is this episode one of our best? Well, a lot is censored. If you want to hear the uncensored version, leave us a wee comment and maybe we will release it. Carry On Abroad (1972) …

Carry On Doctor is up next in our Carry On Monthing Month! Remember how we said we would be watching Carry On Matron? We changed our minds. If you've somehow managed to avoid seeing any clips of Carry On Doctor, if not the whole film, then you're really missing out on some chaos. How do we relate this film to Mulan? You'll have to listen and find o…

Carry On Screaming! (1966) kicks off our Carry On Podcasting month! The Carry On series is a very British comedy franchise that starred the same team of actors in 30ish films. If you haven't heard of them, you're missing out. Calum has somehow avoided them all until now, but this month will change that. Will he enjoy them? Or will he keep to his re…

Halloween (1978) wraps up our Slasher Month. This is one of the most iconic horror movies of all time, so of course Sam hasn't seen it. She was also surprised to learn that the Austin Powers guy had nothing to do with it. In this episode we do maths, discuss whether we are fit enough to become serial killers, and talk multi-verses - so there's a lo…

Friday the 13th (1980) is up next in our Slasher Month, but the true horror lies in the fact that this little summary box erased itself after this was all written out. You'll never get to know how good it was before. All the secrets to life were here. Oh well. This episode contains the usual shenanigans and lots of chat about how SHOOK we were at t…

Child's Play (1988) is next in our Slasher Month of Terror! Calum picked this film, but Sam gets weirdly defensive over Calum trying to apply logic. Is it because it's a film about a possessed doll? Or is it because she has decided to rain on his parade and create his nightmare? Probably a mixture of both. In this moment I can't remember what we're…

Scream (1996) kicks off our annual celebration of the spooky side of cinema. In our 2024 fright fest, we're looking at some of the best slasher films (that we know of). Prepare to share in Calum's terror of not knowing where his own point is going, and Sam's fear of suffering through eighty minutes of cinema without a Dylan O'Brien appearance. Sit …

American Psycho (2000) is the last film in our unlikeable protagonists month! We may have jumped the shark with this one. How? Well, no sh*t Sherlock is a serial killer a little bit unlikeable. This particular potential serial killer is especially heinous, so it almost feels a little unfair to compare poor little Danni Sanders to him. Norman Bates …

Ruby Sparks (2012) is up next on our Unlikeable Protagonists Month and wow is the guy in this unlikeable. Consent issues aside, the biggest crime he commits against humanity is being a terrible author. How dare you make us listen to terrible prose. We shall not stand for this. We have a lot of fun chats about men written by women and women written …

Not Okay (2022) kicks off our unlikeable protagonist month and the beginning of our comeback tour! Did you miss us? We missed you! We decided to ease ourselves back in by watching films in which we are encouraged to judge people harshly. Not that we need encouragement to do that. Bonus fun factor, we also get to rate this film in terms of O'Briens!…

In From The Side (2022) wraps up our sad bullshit month, otherwise known as 'Not Like Other Movies' month. We're finishing strong and clueless, as we know very little about the moshpit sports ball. However, we do know a little something or two about Henrys. You're even getting a longer episode so we can properly whinge about him. There won't be an …

The Breakfast Club (1985) is next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month. We're going to conveniently drop the Sad Bullshit thing for a week because this isn't all that sad. This is one of those films that everyone has seen (apart from Sam), so you'll probably hate what we have to say (it's not bad). Tag yourself, I'm the flare gun that went off in t…

Lilting (2014) is up next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month, otherwise known as 'Sad Bullshit' month. If you like awkward dancing, stubborn old ladies, and Alan; this film is perfect. If you like all your audio in sync with your visuals, you might have a bit of a tough time. We land somewhere in the middle of those two sides. Join us next week a…

The Selfish Giant (2013) is up next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month, more fondly known as 'Sad Bullshit' month. This film fits the theme perfectly! You may have guessed by the title that it's based on the Oscar Wilde short story, and it kind of is if you squint and spin around a bit. Or not. If someone would like to explain how it's related we…

It's Calum's birthday month which means we get a brand new theme picked by him! A Ghost Story (2017) kicks off our 'I'm Not Like Other Movies' month, otherwise known as 'Sad Bullshit' Month. That's right dear listener, most of the films are going to be depressing hipster movies. Are you hyped to have an existential crisis with us? If so, you're in …

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) is the last film in our unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month and it is possible that we may have been led astray by the internet again. Why did you mean-spirited meanies tell us this film was bad? Why did we listen? The whole joke of this month was for this film and it relied u…

Spider-Man 3 (2007) is up next in the unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month! Now, does this film belong here? Or did the internet being mean only make us think this belonged here? Probably the latter. Has anyone seen this film recently? Yeah, it's cringey, but it's fun cringe. So join us as we celebrate Tobey Maguire in all his dorky g…

Shrek Forever After (2010) is up next in our unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month! Quick! What is your favourite Shrek film? If you didn't answer Shrek 2 (2004), you are wrong. Sorry if that was you, dear listener. What we can all agree on, is that your favourite Shrek film probably isn't Shrek Forever After. Or Shrek the Third (2007)…

Toy Story 4 (2019) kicks off the unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month, where we will be watching unnecessary sequels to necessary sequels. The concept is a little confusing so we thought we'd start easy. For example, Toy Story 2 (1999) is one of the best sequels of all time. Toy Story 3 (2010) gets away with it because of nostalgia. H…

The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002) concludes our unnecessary sequel month, and man is this is a weird one. Did you watch the end of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and despair that Quasimodo never got laid? No? Neither did we. However, Disney decided that this would simply not do so they made a pretty girl for him to go out with. Yes, he's just as s…

Titanic II (2010) is up next on our unnecessary sequels month! Oh? You thought it was going to be Space Jam: A New Legacy? Well, you must have heard wrong. After all, how could we pass up the opportunity to see a gigantic boat crash a second time? What a twist! Will this be the film that finally adds a 'bored' tally to Sam's list? How could it? Sur…

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023) is the second film in our unnecessary sequel month. Does it deserve to be here? Probably. Tell us what happens in the first Chicken Run film. Quickly. See? Unless you're one of the top stans, you probably don't remember. Why is that the case? Well, the first one was made in 2000 and while it is good, it's neve…

Mulan II (2004) kicks off our Unnecessary Sequel Month, and we may have unnecessary sequel'd too close to the sun. For those not in the know, Mulan is Sam's favourite film ever. Which is why this horrific betrayal stings so much. Ever wanted to see your favourite characters turned into poor imitations of themselves? Just watch literally any Disney …

Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005), otherwise known as The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D (2005), is the last film in our Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. It's been a fun dive into the very early 2000s, but all good things must come to an end. Will we be able to bore Calum to tears yet again? Here's hoping. Watching a…

The Water Babies (1978) is up next in our Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. Alternate subheadings for this episode include; obesity to the rescue and racist tuna. So, you know you are in for a treat today. This is possibly the most fever-dream-like of all the films we have done this month, but a lot of that is probably down …

Barbie of Swan Lake (2003) is up next in our Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. Now, if you're a Barbie cinematic verse connoisseur like myself and my siblings (and my mum), you'll know that this is the inferior of the original four Barbie movies. It is, however, the most fever-dream-like one. There will be no wholesome duets…

Aquamarine (2006) is up next on Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. 2006 was the year of Mermaids, but Calum somehow missed out on all the fun. No worries though, as we are giving him a taste of it here! He's decided to show his age (72) in this episode, as he's back to clutching those pearls. This is apt because, well, Mermai…
