Not that anybody asked but this week we grabbed the thesaurus and started swapping the subtitles because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies Most Changed By Replacing One Word With Another. One tiny tweak to a title can turn a beloved classic into something completely unrecognisable, or somehow make total sense in a way it never should. Which single-word swaps cause the most chaos, the biggest laughs, or the most unsettling improvements? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect the magical football bush Bowie likes to hide in, not letting Ian buy a chainsaw and Forgetful Daddy

Not that anybody asked but this week we blew into the cartridge and mashed the reset button because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies That Should Have A Video Game. Hollywood loves a tie-in, but somehow the good ones always get left on the cutting room floor while we're stuck button-mashing through licensed disasters instead. Which films are crying out for a janky adaptation, a cheat code and an ill-advised escort mission? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a good use of "skulking, power-washing the shape of a phallus into the side of a digital van, and The Great Mosquito Massacre

Not that anybody asked but this week we packed the popcorn and scouted some questionable venues because we're figuring out our Top 3 Places We Would Want To Screen A Movie. Forget your standard multiplex with its overpriced nachos and reclining seats, we're asking where a film would truly hit different. Does a horror movie need a location that's already trying to kill you? Would a war film play better somewhere the history actually happened? And is there a spot so perfect for a screening that it might just ruin cinemas forever? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect watching the Emoji Movie the mirror of a rental car, sexual union and The Collected Works Of Pops: A Study Of Prompts and Consequences, vol 1.

We’re heading back into the daylight nightmare to revisit grief, cults, questionable relationships, and one of the most uncomfortable group holidays ever committed to film. If you missed them first time, now’s your chance. If you’ve heard them already, you probably need the closure.

Originally released 27/6/24

Not that anybody asked but this week we preheated the aga and started to ferment some herring because we're once again talking about Midsommar. This year our special takes on a culinary twist as we look into the food of the film as well as interview the incredible Food Stylist Zoe Hegedus who's work has appeared in films such as Dune, Poor Things and our favourite folk horror movie. Expect menstruation cocktail humour, a porridge pie for second breakfast and 10,000 hours of gnocchi

You can find the trailers for our choices, and other things referenced, on this youtube playlist.

You can find out more about Zoe and her incredible work at here website www.zoehegedus.com

Not that anybody asked but this week we pulled out our paint brushes and headed to Halsingland because we're talking about Midsommar, again. This year we were lucky enough to be joined by Nille Svennsson, one of the film's art directors, who spoke to us at length about his involvement in the movie and all things art. Expect codeine, non-Swedeish flowers and dancing until you're skeletons.

Not that anybody asked but this week we applied our sunscreen and avoided the pie because we're talking, again about the modern horror masterpiece Midsommar. For this year's Midsommar special we were honoured to be joined by the film's Director of Photography Pawel Pogorzelski who talks to Ian about all things Midsommar (and Nicolas Cage) and then Graham and Ian talk about their Top 3 movies to double bill with Midsommar. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect The Midsommar Book Club, the lessening of the sorbet effect and Warwick Davies: Spirit Guide.

Not that anybody asked but this week we hollowed out our bears and booked our flights to Stockholm because we are finally diving deep into Ari Aster's folk horror masterpiece Midsommar. You may recognise Midsommar from where we have recommended it every single episode, and it's now time for us to put our money where our mouth is. The first half an hour of this episode is spoiler free and our Top 3 list this week delves into "Moments From Midsommar That Stuck With Us" in an attempt to explain why we love the film so much and keep recommending it to you all. Expect Ariana Grande, Brazilian Football Legend Pele and 2 Mid 2 Sommar in Space.

For a film that deals with grief as much as Midsommar does we obviously name dropped GriefCast - a podcast that has helped both of our hosts - you can find out more about it here

Not that anybody asked but this week we laced up the boots and ignored the offside rule because we're figuring out our Top 3 Football Films For People Who Don't Watch Football. It's a solo outing this week, and with the World Cup kicking off today, it felt like the right moment to ask: which football films actually work if you couldn't care less about the beautiful game? Whether it's the underdog story, the slow-motion goal, or the half-time team talk that somehow makes you cry anyway, we're finding the films that transcend the sport entirely. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a surprising amount of hobbits, an inability to spell Uruguay and Not Tim Roth.
