Since 2018, former film school friends Gali, Devlin, Patrick and Matt have tried to distil the essence of their myriad bleary, late night, free-flowing, probably bullsh*t-laden formative movie conversations almost 20 years ago, as they cast their eyes back to former favourites, cult curiosities, and ubiquitous cultural trash alike. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

What listeners will find here
A Sam Neill send-off through the hellish cult orbit of Event Horizon
This episode pairs a tribute to Sam Neill with a return to Event Horizon, Paul W.S. Anderson’s 1997 Gothic space horror. It looks at Neill’s livewire turn as Dr. Weir, the film’s journey from misfire to cult favorite, and whether its nightmare vision still works.
Spielberg’s E.T. gets the Rewind treatment, from backyard wonder to government threat
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is the focus here as the podcast returns to its occasional Steven Spielberg run. The episode centers on the stranded alien’s bond with Elliot, the help of his siblings, and the looming pressure of government discovery.
A chaotic, turn-of-the-millennium dive into Danny Boyle’s The Beach
Danny Boyle’s The Beach gets a lively, irreverent revisit as the hosts dig into its divisive mix of paradise fantasy, existential drift, and Leonardo DiCaprio star power. Expect a playful, quote-heavy conversation that leans into the film’s comedy, weirdness, and messy reputation.
A notorious big-cat movie disaster gets the full disbelief treatment
Roar (1981) is a wild-animal spectacle about a family trapped in a house overrun by lions, tigers, and other predators. Patrick and Devlin dig into the film’s thin story, its infamous production history, and the sheer jaw-dropping chaos of seeing it on the big screen.
Spielberg’s A.I. through grief, creation, and the ache of artificial love
A.I. Artificial Intelligence takes center stage as the Spielberg season reaches its disquieting 2001 sci-fi epic. The episode explores the film’s post-ice-cap future, its tragic family setup, and the creative tension between Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick.
