In this episode we review ‘The Predator’ (2018, directed by Shane Black), out at cinemas NOW. We put it through the gauntlet of our original rating system to give you a more accurate read of the film. Tune in to hear us discuss the importance of the representation of male vulnerability. And also (oh no!) hear our controversial take on what we think of actors!...
This week we get ANGRY at the film Alpha by Albert Hughes, out at cinemas now. What a film! Such a beautiful film with (what we think is) a completely flawed core story. Unless your story works on a fundamental level, unless the value binary of the story is beautifully and thematically expressed, why make the film at all? See Nathan lose his shit and have a breakdown over the ending of the film....
We’re back with a new theme tune that will get you dancing, or it did for Will at least (awkward!). We take a look back at the previous weeks’ films then review bad-arse super hero flick Venom (directed by Ruben Fleisher and starring Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams). We thought this might be an “anti-hero” film but on further discussion, do anti-heroes even exist? Listen in to hear the discussion and don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe to Totes Ridic Profesh!...
In Episode 5 we take a look at the film 'First Man' by Damien Chazelle starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy. Find out what we think of the film and how it may or may not have alienated its audience....
Nathan has been looking forward to A Star Is Born (directed by Bradley Cooper, starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper) for months and it’s finally here! But Will isn’t so enamoured with the film - he actually found it kind of cheesy. Can Nathan convince Will of the story’s elegant complexity? Tune in to find out!...
Ok stop everything! Just STOP! EPISODE 7 is out now and you NEED to listen to this one. In this episode we break down the film 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Bryan Singer- a celebration of the legacy of Freddie Mercury and the epic band Queen. This one lives in our hearts. Also don't miss out on Will's view on vegetarianism which literally has nothing to do with the film....
Our very first VINTAGE FILM podcast. We usually breakdown current releases but every once in a while we pop back in time to review a golden oldie.

See our controversial take on what we think of Australian cinema as well as the magic of the shared cinema experience vs Netflix....

This week it's Nathan's turn to reveal his top 5 films- but he cheats and does his TOP 10 instead because its EPISODE 10!! Tune in to hear Nathan get really angry at why some genres aren't recognised during awards season over brooding artsy films that no one really likes anyway. It gets heated!...
In this episode we review The Nutcracker and the Four Realms directed by Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston. Lots to say about the beautifully looking film especially its use of themes and core story we've seen hundreds of times. And Will is BACK from Africa!! Finally....
We're back for 2019! What a way to start- we break the internet with Ralph discussing the extraordinary storytelling that is 'Ralph Breaks the Internet' directed by Phil Johnston & Rich Moore. We also delve into the mysteries of the Netflix film 'Birdbox': the craze that has hit the internet AND we discuss the extraordinary new way of storytelling in the interactive film Bandersnatch. Nathan also decides he's a Kardashian....
Okay so we promised Mowgli this week but seriously what the f#ck happened and why haven't we reviewed it? Listen in to find out why.

Also Will gets a really bad haircut....
