Look Who's Podcasting

This week on the pod Jimmy brings us the 2013 one man car drama (crama?) that is Locke. We talk about Tom Hardy's epic sick day off work, the millenial nightmare that is being on a stressful phone call for 90 minutes, and how this movie can also act as a radio play or sleeping pill. We also talk the technical behind the scenes, how limitations breed creativity in film, Jack Nicholson's werewolf movie (not really but google it) and a little other films in the person-stuck-in-one-location genre.

This week on the pod Jimmy has graced us by selecting none other than the 49% RT score rollercoaster that is ̶W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶D̶o̶w̶n̶ Olympus Has Fallen! Directed by Anthony Powertool Vengeance Fuqua and starring our beloved Gerard Big Top Butler, we talk about code names, cosy Gerard, knife fights, code names, the one-man army genre, goofy patriotism and a little bit more. And in case there's any doubt we are sure to remind you maybe 5 or 6 times that we recommend this movie.

Say a little prayer that rom coms will be on the pod table in the future after this episode. Spoiler alert - they will be! Friend of the pod and fellow MBFW enthusiast Lucy joins us on this special episode where we cover one of Tristan's favourites. Stay tuned til the end to find out what we'll be covering next week.

Jackie and Max forever. Or at least until the phone rings. Join us for a fun chat about Tarantino's quieter but mature 1997 follow up the cinematic game changer that was Pulp Fiction. Plus a personal QT movie ranking at the end.

This week it's all about violent psychopaths in Samurai movies as the pod discusses the nihilistic and brutal 1966 film The Sword of Doom. On release it was criticised as meaningless violence but has since been re-appraised as a cult classic and re-released as part of the Criterion collection. This one is going to be pretty niche but we recommend it all the same. If you are interested in watching this film before hand maybe go on and do that first before jumping in as we're going to be discussing key aspects of the plot, characters and the blood soaked controversial ending.

Tank Girl! Do we really need to say more? Probably yes. Now I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed? This was one that we had not seen for some time so we're looking at whether or not Tank Girl deserves its reputation as a 90's over the top misfire, or whether it can barrel it's way into our hearts and minds in 2025.

So many questions. First being does this thing hold up for the millennials like us who probably watched it a thousand times as kids? Is Rufio really a paramecium brain? Why on earth didn't Michael Jackson wanna play Peter Pan???All this and more plus some good stick discussion.

We were lucky enough to see Terminator 2 on the big screen recently and sat down to share our thoughts on it. This is the last episode before the pod takes a season break, so we're going out on a big one. In the meantime look for us on instagram @lookwhospodcasting or you can send us an email at lookwhospodcasting@gmail.com and tell us what movies we should cover.

Sneakin' in at the buzzer for this one. A delayed episode due to a bit of the winter sneezy blues but couldn't miss talking about some of the best movies to come out in 2024. This week's round up includes the Citizen Kane of bisexual tennis love mindgame movies with Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, the latest from Alex Garland with the intense and gritty Civil War, and Richard Linklater's dark comedy Hit Man. Might also talk about Bananaman for some reason. You can email us at lookwhospodcasting@gmail.com or find us on instagram @lookwhospodcasting.

Sons of the Pharoahs! We may not be adventurers, or explorers, or treasure hunters or gunfighters, but we are proud of what we are...podcasters? This week the guys get the camels into 2x speed and jump into the sexy sandy horror action fan favourite crowd pleaser The Mummy (1999). They chat about the fun backstory behind how the film came to be and how different it could've been, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and the endearing supporting cast, feelin' kinda bummed for Imhotep and much more. Grab your cat and chew on a scarab cos we're goin to Hamunaptra baby! https://www.gq.com/story/what-ever-happened-to-brendan-fraser https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/frazier-tharpe/the-mummy-is-the-best-action-movie-ever

Did you know there's a 90's Jack Nicholson werewolf movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and James Spader? Well count your lucky stars today because it gets a brief mention on the round up. But then again so does Kevin Costner's Postman movie, so I guess count your unlucky stars too. As well as the usual recently watched titles the guys for some reason discuss that 90's aussie game show A*mazing and also Dungeon Synth? Lots of fun and interresting titles talked about on this episode, including Drive Away Dolls (2024), Robot Dreams (2024), Blood Tea and Red String (2006), The Vast Of Night (2019), Wolf (1994) and Argyle (2024).

Back from a brief easter break, the guys discuss what they've been watching lately. They talk Zac Efron and that dude from The Bear getting buff and wrestling, Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington's late career action hero turns, hunting down something of worth in the vast category of low budget b movies and much more. Titles mentioned on this episode include In the Land of Saints and Sinners (2023), The Deadly Spawn (1983), The Demon Rat (1992), Beyond Dreams Door (1989), Theater Camp (2023) and The Iron Claw (2023).
