Americans, get out of there whilst you still can, before the votes are counted on election night 2024. We’re going on the holiday road with the Griswolds through Europe, and discussing our own brief encounters across the continent. We also have a shamelessly packed chat about recent films, including Heretic, Juror #2, The Wild Robot, Piece By Piece and the third Venom venom venom venom and Terrifier films.
215 - DAVID BYRNE'S AMERICAN UTOPIA
It’s a post-election, current-lockdown world, and Johnny is finally bearing witness to the gold of American Utopia, after the 2018 episode on Stop Making Sense and Andrew’s attempts to get Johnny to see the show live, in the end it all comes down to an HBO Max account and a distinct hope and love for humanity in the darkest of times. Join the celebration of music, ideas, togetherness and looking to better one another, plus I guess jokes.
189 - BRIMSTONE
Johnny loves this 150 minute frontier horror, and insists Andrew saddle up for a ride into hell and back, promising that Retribution Is Coming. Andrew, meanwhile, breaks down and contemplates what a serial killer horse could get away with back in olden times. Yep. That’s how the lockdown’s going, folks.
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.
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.
