Pour one out for our thespian Nic Cage as he wins an Oscar bloating and stumbling to a decidedly devastating end, whilst Elisabeth Shue suffers so much throughout. Johnny takes his first stroll through, Andrew meanwhile faces up to watching a film he never wanted to return to. Heavy heavy stuff.
269 - ADAM
It’s a late night recording for Andrew and Johnny, as they take a look at perfect goddess Rose Byrne’s career, and discuss Hugh Dancy’s Will Graham performance. There’s tangents aplenty in reminiscing about 2000s twinkly indie music, space room decorations and Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows (OH MAN).
239 - WAITRESS
Grab your pie trays and prep the oven, we’re baking up a new episode. Johnny is convinced he’s about to watch a musical, and Andrew reminisces on his experiences seeing the West End show, as they both confirm long-held beliefs on pies, gravy and all things food.
229 - LIFE (1999)
Life, oh life, oh life, doo doot doot doo.
Johnny mentioned he also hadn’t seen the Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence movie ‘Life’ and since it is streaming, unlike a lot of films, Andrew has allowed an entire episode surrounding a film he once rented as a kid, expecting a wild comedy, and rewound and returned before the first hour was up. Will the last hour make up for Baby Andrew’s experiences?
201 - ERIN BROCKOVICH
It’s back to reality, oop there goes gravity, as Andrew and Johnny square up to Isolation August with a spin around 2000’s Julia Roberts Oscar winning performance as Erin Brockovich. Nobody’s going insane or depressed at home, so why wouldn’t a fun romp around big corporations killing and hiding the facts of killing innocent working class people be the kind of film we all enjoy? I’m rambling, one second, I’ll continue, it’s a podcast episode, go listen. End communication.
187 - GODS AND MONSTERS
The quarantine has adjusted everything somewhat, but no worry, there’s always a Brendan Fraser film to fall back on, and plenty of memories of Ian McKellen’s days feline up London with this Frankenstein of an episode where puns are always at play.
185 - KNOCKED UP
Andrew throws on one of his all-time comfort comedies, and Johnny’s expectations are completely subverted as Seth Rogen puts a baby into our hearts. Snippets of The Irishman meeting It and ideas for additional sort-of sequels within the Apatowverse are presented to warn off insanity mid-quarantine.
135 - ALI
Happy Mayday! It’s time to step into the ring and take the mantle of the world’s greatest with Will Smith’s big Oscar-hope, whilst discussions veer towards documentaries over biopics and Avengers: Endgame because of course.
130 - THE GREEN MILE
Johnny ends Stephen King month with one of his all-time favourite films, just so Andrew can destroy everything in his path. But not before a discussion of the Avengers: Endgame trailer, and thoughts on book-to-film adaptations as a whole.
112 - CHOPPER
Bloody Andrew makes Johnny bloody watch a movie he knows bloody nothing about, and Johnny finishes his London Film Festival report in a bloody episode about bloody a lot of bloody things, right.
068 - ADULT LIFE SKILLS
Andrew shows Johnny his film of 2016, a small British indie, and naturally they ignore the film for talking about Hollywood’s classic molesters. And Doctor Who.
