Show notes
This week we're reviewing FJORD, the latest drama from acclaimed director Cristian Mungiu, starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve.
Set against the stunning Norwegian landscape, the film follows a deeply religious couple whose family is thrown into crisis when their parenting methods come under scrutiny. It's a provocative, morally complex drama exploring faith, cultural differences, prejudice and the limits of personal freedom.
We break down the film, its performances and the difficult questions it raises, before sitting down with Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve for an interview about their roles, working together and bringing this challenging story to the screen.

DC is doing something a little different with Clayface, and there's a lot to discuss!
In this episode, we review the latest addition to the DC Universe, a smaller-scale, body horror-driven take on the superhero genre. Does Clayface prove that comic book movies don't need enormous budgets, world-ending stakes and endless cameos to succeed?
We discuss the film's performances, its dark tone, and whether this is the kind of bold, filmmaker-led storytelling that could give the superhero genre a much-needed shake-up.

This week, we're tackling a big debate: what are the greatest TV shows of the 21st century?
The New York Times has put together its list of the best TV shows of the century so far, and we're going through the rankings to see what they got right, what they got wrong, and which shows have been criminally overlooked.
From modern masterpieces to controversial picks, we debate the shows that have defined the last 25 years and share our personal favourites.

Horror is dominating the box office... but why?
From low-budget breakouts to billion-dollar franchises, horror has become one of Hollywood’s most reliable and profitable genres. In this episode, we look at why audiences keep showing up for scary movies, how horror filmmakers turn tiny budgets into huge profits, and why the genre continues to outperform so much of the rest of the box office.
We dive into the biggest horror hits, the franchises that keep printing money, and why horror has become such an important proving ground for new directors and filmmakers.
So… why is horror doing so well when everything else is struggling?

Some of the greatest films ever made were box office failures.
This week, we're looking at the best films that flopped at the box office. From Fight Club and The Shawshank Redemption to Children of Men, The Big Lebowski, Donnie Darko and more.
Why did these films fail? Were they badly marketed, ahead of their time, released at the wrong moment… or simply misunderstood by audiences?
And what does a film's box office actually tell us about its quality?
We're breaking down the biggest box office bombs, the films that found their audiences years later, and the movies that prove being a flop doesn't necessarily mean being a failure.

Show notes
In this episode, James is taking George back to where it all began and revisiting the first four seasons of Game of Thrones, arguably some of the greatest television ever made.
How well does the show hold up today? Is Season 1 still as brilliant as we remember? What makes the characters, world-building and storytelling so compelling, and where does the show fall short? We dive into the biggest moments, best performances, most shocking deaths and unforgettable episodes, while asking whether the first four seasons really deserve their legendary reputation.
And, with the benefit of hindsight, just how big was Game of Thrones? Was it simply a hugely successful TV show, or one of the biggest cultural phenomena in television history?
We revisit everything that made Game of Thrones appointment television. How good is it really? And does it still stand among the greatest shows of all time?
