Fictional Films

The Podcast Nobody Asked For

02/22/24 • 79 min

Not that anybody asked (apart from the listener who actively requested this episode) but this week we took a break from reality and wove a meta web because we're talking about films within films and TV shows that don't actually exist. This may well be one of the hardest episodes we have done to whittle down a shortlist into a shorterlist. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect double colons, the vegan energy spectrum and the apes from Planet of the Horses

Movies That Would Be Completely Different If They Had a Smartphone.

The Podcast Nobody Asked For

07/21/22 • 100 min

Not that anybody asked but this week we unlocked our phones and turned them off silent because we're talking about smartphones.

I know Mark Strong tells us to turn our mobiles off but, in this case, we're keeping them on. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect the chilly void of space, Postlethwaite's marionettes and the surprising height of Peppa Pig.
