156: Moonlight, Poetry vs Realism, and Coming of Age movies Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Barry Jenkins’ 2017 (UK release date) Oscar winner gets the Forgot You Forgot treatment. Adam watched in on blu-ray, no big deal, but does the blurb give the right movie nod for each actor?

Starring Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes and Naomie Harris, this episode sees Joe and Adam tussle over the film’s choices, and whether poetry is better than realism. Oh, and coming-of-age movies more generally.

154: The End of Oak Street, Not Garden State Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Find out Joe’s rubbish excuses for not having watched Garden State. Never mind, because the pair had still watched some other movies/films that they chatted about instead.

Mainly, The End of Oak Street. Why is David Robert Mitchell’s 80s-inflected Amblin-style popcorn blockbuster getting so many shrugs?

Joe likes football, and he’s seen a sort of football based documentary - The Last Resident of the Holloway Motel.

Also on the docket: a bit on the latest Spiderman (Brand New Day!) and Joe’s finally seen Before The Devil Knows Your Dead. Did he like it?

Cul-de-sac chats veer off into strip club territory. Excuses and reasons aplenty.

152: The Bourne Identity, Bourne recast and Bourne vs Bond Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

The 2002 action thriller, The Bourne Identity got forgot; really? Adam says so, says he’s a Supremacy guy… but what of the Doug Liman director first one, scripted by Tony Gilroy?

What are the best bits? Who would we be if we got Bourned? Who is Jason Bourne? Who is a good recast for a modern (baby) Bourne?

All this and more!

151: Jackie Brown, Page Folders or Bookmarks & Could Gyllenhaal Nolan? Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

Quentin Tarantino's 1998 flick Jackie Brown is the topic of today's discussion. Joe & Adam dive into the movie, Tarantino's catalogue and more, including: are you a page folder or bookmark person? Which actors belong with which directors? Could Jake Gyllenhaal do a Nolan movie? And how big is Joe's new lamp?

150: The Fifth Element, Gary Oldman and Django Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

How much is there to say about 1997’s The Fifth Element, beyond the great production design and some fun performances… not a whole lot it turns out.

There’s the Gary Oldman Game though, and who won acting Oscar chat, and there is a prolonged diversion into Django Unchained.

149: Zorro, The Mexican Batman & The Costume Department Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

The Mask of Zorro, starring Antonio Bandares, Anthony Hopkins & Catherine Zeta-Jones, is the film of choice for today's episode. But don't worry: Joe & Adam barely talk about it.

148: Grogu, Supergirl, Savage House et al: What We Watched Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

Joe and Adam muse over films they’ve seen recently, focusing on a shoddy trip to the cinema for 500 Miles. Plus Supergirl gets both barrels for its approach to covers, Mando & Grogu splits opinion and Savage House gets some heady praise. But it’s not really about the movies (or films) is it? It’s the fun in between.

147: One Battle After Another: Joe Made Me Watch Jul 29, 2026

Show notes

Revisiting the most lauded film of 2025, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another (or for the too busy to say things fully: PTA’s OBAA).

Joe loved it, saw it twice. Adam was chillier… has he chilled? And what Christopher Nolan got to do with it? Expect to hear all about expectation and a run down of PTA’s oeuvre (love that word.) This is the last in this current solo series, and it’s the best one.
