MUSIC x MOVIE
If you're feeling generous you could call today's episode a mash-up, or more accurately, the remnants of a couple of different music related ideas that never quite gelled into a full episode. It was resurfaced recently in the morass of my mind by the sad passing of rap-man DMX, rendering him unable to deliver to ya. Alternate delivery services must now be sought. He was also the poster child of an idea for covering films where the soundtrack is significantly better than the film it came from, bu...

Intermission, April 2021
We are living in a material world, and we are a material podcast. This episode's material - Judas and the Black Messiah and Godzilla vs. Kong. If they can't raise our interest then we'll have to let them be.

Justice League and the Snyderverse
With the recent release of Zack Snyder's Justice League, we thought it was high time to see what the deal was with that, and indeed have a bit of a post-mortem on the Synderverse and what strategy, if you can call it such, Warner and DC have been following. Join us!

The Thing(s) from Another World (on a train)
Who Goes There? Well, various alien Things, naturally. We shapeshift through four takes on the novella with The Thing from Another World, Horror Express, John Carpenter's The Thing, and its 2011 prequel/remake. Join us as we test them with some heated copper wire and see which ones recoil.

Howard Hawks
We take a hopefully representative cross section of Howard Hawks' voluminous output and run it through our extensive analytical suite to determine the truth of it. Join us as we poke and prod at Scarface, His Girl Friday, Sergeant York, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes until they stop wiggling and give up their secrets. For science!

Gorillas in the Congo
Gorillas. Man's best friend, or our greatest enemy? Both? Neither? Well, we won't be answering that today, but we will talk for a while about Gorillas in the Mist and Congo and tell you if we liked them or not, which is almost the same thing. Join us!

90s Neo-Noir
The halcyon days of the nineteen-nineties saw a slew, relatively speaking, of Neo-Noirs unleashed upon us, and we thought we'd take a look at a few of them. How well do One False Move, Red Rock West, Romeo is Bleeding, The Last Seduction, La Cérémonie, Bound, and Insomnia hold up? Listen in and find out!

Intermission, December 2020
As 2020 staggers to a merciful end, we see out this dumpster fire of a year with a look at (what else) a bunch of films. Do Black Bear, Possessor, Mank, Unhinged, Tenet, and Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project enhance the 2020 experience, or somehow, unbelievably, make it worse? Tune in and find out!

Get Carter and The Long Good Friday
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to take a butchers at two films that routinely vie for top spot in any self respecting list of British gangster movies. Both are more concerned with gangsters performing investigations, both refuse to sugar coat the nefarious activities of the their leads, and you could probably make a case for each film reflecting the mood of the decade they lead into. We are speaking, of course, of Get Carte_, a firm favourite around these parts for many a year, and T...

Welcome to Fuds on Film, semi-officially the 22nd most popular movie podcast in Egypt. We need to up our game in the Czech Republic though. In this episode we take a look at American Utopia, On the Rocks, Peninsula, The Eight Hundred, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. Come get some.

Branded To Kill and Pistol Opera
Japanese director Seijun Suzuki had been on my list to catch up on for some time now, long before his death in 2017. He's cited as an influence on Tarantino (but who isn't?), Jim Jarmusch, Wong Kar-wai, John Woo, Takeshi Kitano, and surely Takashi Miike, both in style and career arc. Suzuki started directing primarily B-movies that were, as I am led to understand, fairly formulaic gangster flicks for the most part, growing increasingly strange and iconoclastic up until the 1967 effort _Branded t...

Pirates
I like big boats and I cannot lie, and for that reason, flimsy as it is, we are today looking at some of the saltiest seamen, and seawomen committed to film as we examine piracy through the ages, and through the genres. We have stuffed this episode to the gunwales, which is defined here as seven films, during which we shall leave no timber unshivered, no hatch unbattened, and no deck unpooped. Tune in for our coverage of Captain Blood, Anne of the Indies, Roman Polanski's Pirates, Muppets Treasu...

How You Laika Me Now?
We spoke in our last enthralling episode about some of our favourite stop-motion animated films, although the eagle-eared amongst you may have noticed an egregious absence, that of a little Oregon studio named Laika. That was not a snub, but an honour, as we now spend this entire episode covering all of their output.

Stop (Motion) In The Name Of Love
We show our love for the painstaking work of stop motion animation in this episode, covering A Midsummer Night's Dream, Jason and the Argonauts, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Chicken Run, Corpse Bride, Peter and the Wolf, Mary and Max, The Little Prince, and Ma vie de Courgette. Join us!

Women on Masculinity
An article on the BFI website (well, I say article: it’s more of a list, really) is our inspiration for this episode (well, I say “inspiration”, but “is our episode”, really). The article listed six films that deal with masculinity in some form (occasionally along with chauvinism and patriarchy), but that were made by female directors. And as we’d only seen one of the six (or thought we had), we thought it might be interesting. We’ll begin in the era of classic film noir, with a film directed by...

Intermission, August 2020 II: The Intermissioning
Have you ever been on a date? Have you ever hosted something? Have you ever seen a colour? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions then boy, have we got a show for YOU! Buckle up, monkey funsters, because this week we punched apathy right in its stupid face, scraped the bottom of the available barrel, and we found Dating Amber, Host, Blood Quantum, and Color Out of Space.

Bad Lieutenants
Now, I don't know if you've noticed, but I've done some research and found out that "the police" are a controversial topic right now that some people are quite upset about. As such I thought we'd take a look at two documentaries that will go some way to explain why people may not think they are being served and protected, with Abel Ferrara's 1992 Bad Lieutenant, and, of all people, Werner Herzog's 2006 Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Such as watching a bunch of films at random and talking about them earlier in the month that we normally do. Hot takes incoming on Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, Greyhound, The Vast of Night, Palm Springs, Radioactive, The Old Guard, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Taste it with your ears at your earliest convenience!
