Main Topic:


Tommy and DL are concluding their Halloween trilogy of laughably bad horror films with an inspired piece from back in the day: The Swarm (1978). Michael Caine joins a stellar cast with an unread script and side-stories galore in this 3-hour epic ripped to shreads by the Podcast Assemble duo.


Listen this week to hear about the dangers of bees, the unfortunate musings of entymologists, an overly intimate town with poor childcare and the death of one important director's career. You don't want to miss this episode!

Main Topic:


We've got a special visitor from Melbourne this week - Regs of the Film Addicts Podcast! And he's dropped by in person to record a very special episode of a film that we've all come to love over the years.


Here us dive back into the Chris Nolan Anthology with "The Dark Knight" (2008), a seminal addition to the Batman film series featuring Christian Bale and the legendary Heath Ledger (RIP). Regs gives us his takes on the film and we all wonder why Mark Wahlberg wasn't cast as the Joker instead of Ledger...


What did you rate 'The Dark Knight' as one of your top Nolan films? Let us know by messaging [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

Biblical allegories and confusing characterization, will this live up to what came before... you don't want to miss this one!
