Film Club: The Podcast

By: Paul Newton and Luca Newton
  • Summary

  • We're Paul and Luca, a father-and-son duo of film fanatics! Paul has around 50 years film appreciation experience and noted down every film he saw before the existence of such things as Letterbox'd! Luca is a second year University student taking Film Studies and Screenwriting. We'll chat about films from the Past, the Present, and the Future (no DeLorean involved!) and at the end, we'll each set the other some "Homework" of a film to go and watch, then report back at the start of the next episode. Join us to hear all about the latest movies, the classic movies, and the movies yet to come!

    EPISODE 15: THE BETTER MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN

    //

    "Past": Bond, James Bond! We talk about our favourites - movie, theme, actor - and our least favourites!

    "Present": Jam-packed with new movies like Better Man, We Live in Time, Nosferatu, September 5, Babygirl, A Real Pain, and Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.

    The "Future" section features talk on the upcoming Oscars and who we feel will get the nominations and maybe a few winners predicted; plus how can biopics follow in the footsteps of Better Man and Piece by Piece and be more creative and unique?

    HOMEWORK: We catch up on the homework set in the last episode - Aftersun and The Sting - plus we set new homework for next time.

    EPISODE 13: THE GLADIATOR OF OZ

    //

    "Past": We each go through our Top 5 of Disney Live Action re-makes.

    "Present": We talk about Gladiator II, Wicked, Paddington in Peru, Juror #2, and Your Monster.

    The "Future" section gets a little re-invention. Instead of reeling off news and rumours, we discuss the following topics - Can Mission Impossible live on without Tom Cruise? Who do we want to see as the new James Bond? Has Star Wars gone stagnant? Should Hugh Jackman just quit already playing Wolverine?

    HOMEWORK: We catch up on the homework set in the last episode - Muriel's Wedding and To Catch a Thief - plus we set new homework for next time.
