It’s a Guy hangout when Johnny decides, nay insists, we cover Ritchie’s intended start of a trilogy of London crime flicks and Andrew dons his best ‘East End Accent’ to talk Tom Wilkinson giving it something hard, Mark Strong’s voice, that late 00s colour grading nightmare and just where the proposed rest of the franchise actually went.
BONUS - THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 (FULL SEQUENCE) UK CUT COMMENTARY
First off, legally we can only watch the UK Cut version so there may be sync problems at times due to, ya know, the original cut being rejected over where we record.
Johnny recalls his FrightFest experiences with this film and Laurence R. Harvey, while Andrew spends most of the time playing games because there’s literally nothing in this film to discuss besides ‘Mike Leigh coulda made something with this’.
Commentary begins at 00:11:44
273 - NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS
Cage March ends with a second dose of Benjamin Franklin Gates, this time we’re dealing with Dame Helen Mirren having to fall back in love with Jon Voight, just why is Ty Burrell here, and what’s the deal with the upcoming series, is it going to be Gates-based? We’re done, at least, with treasure protecting for the moment.
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 07 - FURIOUS 7 (WITH IAN LORING)
A mega-sode dealing with the epic events of Dom, Brian, Roman, Tej, Letty, Mia, Ramsey, Mr. nobody and Han’s threat from the Shaw family’s older brother, Jason Statham. Film Basterds podcast host Ian Loring tangents the discussion with pivoting race-start women, was Roman of any use in Fast 5, and we all finally dig deep into the TIMELINE OF THE FRANCHISE properly.
We also tackle the Fast And Furious Supercharged Universal Studios ride/experience, which happens sometime between Furious 6 and… Furious 6?
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 06 - FURIOUS 6 (WITH JOE CUNNINGHAM)
London Calling for the Family on the exciting crew-versus-crew showdown blockbuster, and we’re joined with Furious 6 ultra-fan Joe Cunningham (Cinematic Universe podcast) to drive the extended runway of plot beats, Rock/Vin feuding, LA-based detours and which characters get less to deal with in the long run. Grab a corona once again and put pedal to the metal for this final Chris Morgan/Justin Lin family action movie.
237 - AN EDUCATION
As the Oscars come closer, we spend time with the original Promising Young Woman, Carey Mulligan’s first Oscar nominated performance, which means discussing school-based comedies, pitching Johnny’s own version of such a film and recasting Star Wars with the Entourage gang, naturally.
208 - TOP HAT
Johnny loves The Green Mile but has been so obsessed with a scene in the film where Michael Clarke Duncan watches Top Hat in the cinema and cries. Now it’s time for Johnny to finally see the whole film, in context, and Andrew is dragged along despite his hatred of Fred and Ginger films. Will Top Hat be top of the hats, or some second thing that means bad?
BONUS - FRIGHTFEST DAY 4
Johnny wraps up FrightFest with a mysterious vampire co-host cracking wise throughout.
Hitting up the films The Swerve, Enhanced, AV: The Hunt and the short films Werewolf, The Motorist, Love Bite, The Gift, Wash, Fuel, Polvotron 500, Keith, Death Walks On Nitrate and The Afterlife Bureau.
176 - EASTERN PROMISES
It’s time to head to East London and discuss Viggo Mortensen’s naked bathfighting, that time they gave an Oscar to a film about a pizza-folding man, and Naomi Watts’ dramatic scenes in small chain restaurants of England. For a little Valentine’s Day special Andrew and Johnny share their passions, and mostly prepare for Sonic The Hedgehog.
082 - THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY
Alright ya ol’ muckers? To celebrate the ‘igh ‘oliday of Eastah we got ourselves a li’l bi’ of a Cockney legend to talk all abowt fings and stuff from the ol’ days of LAHNDAHN, and ‘e swears up the apples and pears like it’s nobody’s ruddy business. ‘Ave a butchers, lad.
