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.

Black Dynamite
This week the pod picks up the nunchucks for the undeniably good time that is Black Dynamite. We dig the characters, costumes, music and backdrops that perfectly satirise the blaxploitation genre so closely you might forget for a moment that it was made in the late 2000's.

Jackie Brown
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.

Sympathy For Mr Vengeance
This week on the pod Jimmy takes us back to a simpler time of 2002 when revenge movies weren't all about beekeepers, stern Liam Neeson or Russian mafia attacks on puppies. I mean they used to star Kevin Costner and Anthony Quinn back when I was growing up but I guess revenge movies take all forms. Join us for a great chat about Park Chan Wook's break from form with their original and reliably upsetting thriller. Spoiler alert for this one and a bit of a trigger warning as we will discuss key plot elements and child endangerment (in the film of course). Bonus Anne of Green Gables reference.

The Sword of Doom
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.
A weekly movie hangout where hosts Jimmy and Tristan share new and old discoveries, or deep dive on a double feature. We might even mention Jack Nicholson's 90's werewolf movie.
