1:18:51

We’re sticking with Coming of Age movies for a few more weeks yet and this time, we turn to Elem Klimov’s disturbing war film, Come and See (1985). Exploring the atrocities that occurred in WW2 Belarus through the eyes of a young boy, this could be the most important coming of age movie ever made. We talk about some of the things that could lead to…

Ginger Snaps - S08 E59 1:21:01

2M ago1:21:01

1:21:01

Coming of Age season continues with Ginger Snaps (2000). It’s very important to note that we are discussing the film Ginger Snaps and not the snack Ginger Snaps. Mistakes were made. Our third Coming Of Age film finds us discussing director John Fawcett, writer Karen Walton and the development of the Ginger Snaps film. We touch briefly (but don’t sp…

Bonus : Megalopolis 37:09

2M ago37:09

37:09

Last week we released our thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis over on our Patreon feed. But as it's time for our traditional between season bonus show, we thought we'd post it on the main feed too. We do spoil this one (if you can) and recommend (but not really) seeing it before listening to the episode. Would you like to see the full li…

We concluded Dan's season of films about dreams with A Nightmare on Elm St 3. What did we think of the season? Was Dan happy with his selection? Was Sarah happy with Dan's choices? Would we swap any? These are a few things we pondered on our season 7 wrap show, which is available in full over on our £3.00 a month Patreon tier. We'll be back on Octo…

1:06:59

We’re back for one last episode in our season of movies about dreams and what better way to cap the season than with an Elm St movie.

Welcome back to another episode of Shoot The Hostage! This week, we dive into the labyrinthine world of Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Join us as we dissect the dreamscape and the dream within a dream within a dream. We also talk story development, production, and why you should always listen to Ken Watanabe. Dan might also have some wild fan theor…

The Thirteenth Floor - S07 E54 54:54

4M ago54:54

54:54

This season we’re covering movies about dreams and has we had 2 movies on the bounce that had the word dream in the title, this week Dan’s choice is a little more tenuous. To divulge any other information on that would be to veer into spoiler territory, and we wouldn’t want that. These are our thoughts on The Thirteenth Floor. We talk a little abou…

Dreamscape - S07 E53 1:27:47

4M ago1:27:47

1:27:47

Welcome back to another episode in our season about films and dreams. Sometimes those two things have been loosely connected this season but there is no ambiguity this time. Today we’re discussing our 2nd David Patrick Kelly movie (check out our The Warriors show), Dreamscape from the glorious year of 1984. The year that bought us so many of our fa…

We’re back with another episode in our season of films about dreams. This week we’re turning once again to Nicolas Cage in the Kristoffer Borgli film, Dream Scenario. The last time we spoke about Cage was for our Con Air episode and his turn as Paul Matthews in Dream Scenario couldn’t be more different than Cameron Poe. Not a furry bunny in sight i…

Dark City - S07 E51 1:07:30

1:07:30

For the third episode in our line-up of movies about dreaming, we take it back to the 1990's with the Alex Proyas written and directed Dark City (1998). Did we mean to cover two William Hurt movies in a row? Is Lost in Space next? How did he get that Accordion? What did we think of the performances? Does the Neo-noir element of Dark City still hold…

Altered States - S07 E50 1:00:23

4M ago1:00:23

1:00:23

Sticking with our season of films about dreams, we turn our head to Ken Russell for the 1980 Sci-Fi/Horror Altered States. What do we think the visual elements of this film mean? Did John C. Lilly talk to Dolphins? Why did Paddy Chayefsky and Ken Russell fall out? How did a pair of Betty Boop socks convince the cast to be in the film? Why is this i…

31:31

It's that time again. Yes, it's just 1 week before we begin our brand new season so it must be time for a bonus show. This time we thought we would release our Twisters show on the main feed which we dropped over on our Patreon last week. We go a little spoilery on this one although some would argue that there really isn't that much to spoil. Find …

This week we're talking Dogtooth (2009) from Writer/Director Yorgos Lanthimos. In an uncommon scheduling coincidence, this episode ties in with the release of his latest film, Kinds of Kindness, which we'll no doubt cover on our Patreon feed. But for now, come listen to us discuss what it all means. Why does Yorgos insist on making his audience fee…

Bad Boy Bubby - S06 E43 1:16:47

7M ago1:16:47

1:16:47

We are taking a slightly darker turn this week with Bad Boy Bubby (1993). The film that search-engines describes as a Comedy/Crime film but we don’t think it’s quite that simple. It’s a film about abuse, growing up, religion and art and doesn’t fit neatly into any one genre. We discuss Rolf de Heer’s vision and the techniques he used to deliver thi…

We made it to the end of another season. This episode marks the end of our Neo-Western series and we're ending with a banger (and another film that isn't a Neo-Western.) It's Big Trouble in Little China. And you know what Jack Burton always says at a time like this?! Sure he says "I never drive faster that I can see," but he also says "always liste…

Tremors - S05 E35 1:09:53

Our third episode in Neo Western season sees us go to Perfection, Nevada to catch up with Earl and Val for a deep burrow into 1990's Tremors. Is it a Western? Well, that's debatable, but hearing Dan justify its inclusion is certainly interesting! We chat about the cast and crew, including Fred Ward, Kevin Bacon and Michael Gross, and we also give o…

In the first episode of our Neo Western season, we take you on an emotional journey through the gritty landscape of the 2017 film, as well as discovering exactly what makes a Neo Western.
