  • 'After The Hunt', 'Black Phone 2', 'Ballad Of A Small Player' + Zara Hedderman on 'Something's Gotta Give'
    We did it, Joe.Well, sort of. The bathroom renovations are still ongoing. But! We've managed to get a couple of hours free of hammers and noise to bring in Zara Hedderman, music journalist and creator of The Bad Arts on Substack, who has picked 'Something's Gotta Give', the romantic comedy starring the late, great Diane Keaton. No joke, folks - she picked this three weeks ago.Elsewhere, we're discussing Cancel Culture (boring) and Luca Guadagnino's 'After The Hunt' with Julia Roberts and Ayo Edebiri, Ethan Hawke returns for 'Black Phone 2', Colin Farrell does a Fast Show character in 'Ballad Of A Small Player' and brief musings on Aziz Ansari at the Riyadh Comedy Festival mixed with a review of 'Good Fortune', featuring the best casting of the past five years in Keanu Reeves as a well-meaning but slightly dim guardian angel.Less talk, more synthohol. Do it up!

  • 'Good Boy', 'TRON: Ares', 'I Swear', and 'A House of Dynamite'
    OK, so no guest this week - why, you're probably wondering?Real simple. My upstairs bathroom is getting renovated and nobody wants to record a podcast when there's a small army of builders coming in and out of your house with power drills, hammers, and whatever else they've got going on.So, with that in mind, I'm flying solo this week but the good news is there's some genuine crackers and one pile of dogshit to get through. Up for discussion with myself this week is the long-awaited and not-really-anticipated 'TRON: Ares', Kathryn Bigelow's laugh-a-minute apocalyptic thriller 'A House of Dynamite', the high-concept horror that's got everyone talking 'Good Boy', and rounding it all off with a kitchen-sink drama-biopic 'I Swear'.Next week, I swear, the bathroom will be finished and we'll back to normal with guests. Until then, it's just me. If that bugs you, I am truly sorry but I've got to live like this all the time. You can switch this off at any time. It's always on with me.

  • 'The Smashing Machine', 'HIM', 'Re-Creation' + Dave Hanratty on 'The Newsroom'
    Ten episodes later, I'm only just now figuring out how to write these synopses a little better. At least I'm not using a gallon of water to get ChatGPT to do it or some shit.Anyway, this week, I'm talking about Dwayne Johnson and the sexual tension between him and an Oscar nomination for 'The Smashing Machine', go off one about the NFL in Croke Park off the back of 'HIM' and if that wasn't enough, Jim Sheridan's back with another take on the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier with 'Re-Creation'.And because this show is about doing too much all at once, Dave Hanratty of the famous NO ENCORE Podcast is our guest this week. His pick? Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. Three seasons of it, folks. That show got three seasons. Wild shit. What even was that show? We get into it.Enjoying the show? Leave a rating, leave a comment, tell a friend, pet a dog, and be nice to strangers.

  • 'One Battle After Another', 'The Dead of Winter' and 'House of Guinness' + Jenn Gannon on '...And Just Like That'
    They say it couldn't be done, they said we were crazy for trying, but we're back.On this week's episode, Jenn Gannon (@thejenngannon) drops by to render the final and complete judgment on '...And Just Like That' and the legacy of 'Sex and the City' as a cultural entity and marker. Elsewhere, I'm reviewing Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another', potentially slandering Sean Penn about his tight shirts, reviewing 'The Dead of Winter' and asking why genre is such a dirty word for some actors, and potentially breaking an embargo with an early review of Netflix's hotly-anticipated new series, 'House of Guinness'.As always, your comments, your ratings, and your subscriptions are much appreciated and always welcomed. In fact, I spent a good chunk of the opening of this episode highlighting one such comment that HIGHLIGHTED the fact that I say "you know that sort of way?"way too much. That's entirely too many ways and entirely too much highlighting. But whatever! We get into it! Good show! Do it up!
