Episode 70: FM/FW Mini E04: Gladiator 2 18:18

3d ago18:18

18:18

Quo Vadis? To see the new Gladiator film! They may not have swords or togas, but Richard and Greg make the pilgrimage to a newish Melbourne cinema to see an ancient-ish Roman story. What did they think? Is it thumbs-up or thumbs-down? (And if it’s thumbs-down, does director Ridley Scott get thrown to the lions…?) You know that there’s only one way …

Episode 69: S05 E04: Bad Films Ain't The Only Hollywood Crimes 1:08:30

5d ago1:08:30

1:08:30

Our reviewers take on three crime films set in Hollywood across the latter half of the 20th Century. Greg admits to watching his first-ever Tarantino film. If that’s not crime enough, Richard corners him into summarising the plot of David Lynch’s mystifying “Mulholland Drive”. But Greg triumphs by bringing a credible explanation to the table that c…

Episode 68: S05 E03: Kiwi Films 55:06

19d ago55:06

55:06

Richard and Greg jump across the local “pond” from Australia to review three New Zealand films from world-renowned directors Lee Tamahori, Peter Jackson and Taika Waititi. While they have similar responses to two of these films, our film reviewers are (South?) poles apart for the third. Not to worry! For Greg brings a “Kiwi moviegoer’s sensation on…

Episode 67: S05 E02: And Then There Were Nuns 1:20:38

1M ago1:20:38

1:20:38

AND THEN THERE WERE NUNS. Richard and Greg “get the movie habit” by inviting a professional nun (Auntie Marie) to discuss Nun Films. She shares her joys and deeper reflections for a comedy and then a drama. But, like the Holy Trinity, we always do things in threes. For her final choice (a nun-free film), Greg notes that “Not many people would expec…

Episode 66: FM/FW Mini E03: Joker – Folie à Deux 18:45

1M ago18:45

18:45

Following Broadway and TV precedents, DC Comics has just released its first musical feature film. But it might not be the best idea for DC Fanboy Greg to see the new Joker film with the not-terribly-comical Richard… Are they inspired to sing along with Lady Gaga? Will Greg take the opportunity to get Richard doing the “Batusi” dance in the aisles? …

Episode 65: S05 E01: The Firsts 1:01:52

2M ago1:01:52

1:01:52

Our podcasters are back. Finally. But this seasonal opener is about firsts, not finals (despite the third film’s title). Richard and Greg review three feature films that were the first in their day to use the latest technology – for sound, vision and movement. But how do these films stand up today? Does the technology serve or drive the story? And …

Episode 64: FM/FW Mini E02: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 14:54

14:54

How appropriate that our second minisode has a double-barrelled name! Tim Burton’s sequel has been 36 years in the making – but is it worth the wait? Our dedicated film reviewers get down to the local cinema to find out. Not wanting to invite disaster, Greg works hard to stop Richard from saying That Name three times in a row. Enjoy this Minisode M…

Not every premiere happens in Hollywood. So roll out the red carpet along your hallway (or a red bath towel across your passenger seat) as we launch a new venture for our podcast. Minisodes! Richard and Greg review the newly-released, cameo-filled blockbuster that is the third Deadpool film, then rush back to the studio to share their thoughts. The…

Episode 62: Christmas Special 2023 48:05

48:05

Holy Kris Kringle! Can it be that our dynamic duo of Richard and Greg find the Christmas Feels in a new round of movies? Will they declare “Batman Returns” a Christmas movie? Just what exactly is at the heart of the mysterious Christmas parcel? And is there really a “rapidly approaching Season 5”? For the answers to these and other questions, tune …

35:22

It’s been a long break between episodes – a whole Christmas cycle in fact. Following tradition, Richard and Greg get their reviewing skates on with three Christmas movies, as a lead-in to our rapidly approaching Season 5. Are they rusty? Are the films Christmassy enough for Greg? And has he brought another seasonal sound effect to antagonise Richar…

Episode 10: Killing Phar Lap: A Forensic Investigation - Ep 10 9:44

In a short update Kerry is delighted to announce that Killing Phar Lap was nominated for Best Podcast in the True Crime category at the Australian Podcast Awards 2021. On the other hand the National Museum curators & Director Mathew Trinca throw the Phar Lap heart DNA testing process into chaos.

Season 4 has been bookended by THREE Christmas episodes – so “seasonal” greetings are in order. Richard and Greg keep with tradition and review three Christmas films – including a musical about a Christmas zombie invasion (which is just SO in keeping with the spirit of the last year). But what Christmas prop will Greg bring in this year to keep Ric…

57:32

Melbourne has gone from the world’s most livable city to the most locked-down – and our Season 4 has stretched across this period. Way back in “the early days”, we held a Friday Quarantine Film Night festival to restore the shared film-watching experience to our audience. Now that we’re (finally! hurray!) coming out of lockdown, we bookend Season 4…

Episode 58: S04 E09: Ticket To Ride 44:43

3y ago44:43

44:43

Our reviewers seek lockdown escapism through films based on Disneyland rides, despite the fact that one of them has never been on these rides. But they sidestep the obvious choice – as Richard was born on “Talk Like a Pirate Day” (and needs no encouragement to perform) and Greg’s afraid of Caribbean planks.

Episode 57: S04 E08: Ghostly 49:25

3y ago49:25

49:25

Richard and Greg leave the Confessional to push deeper into the spiritual realm. They sample three ghostly films across different genres (horror, comedy, and existential exploration). Of course, one reviewer’s “existential exploration” can be another’s snoozefest. The abiding philosophical question is: Which reviewer felt which? Extra Ordinary (201…

Episode 56: S04 E07: Greg In The Confessional 58:21

58:21

It’s Greg’s turn in the FMFW Confessional and there are significant gaps in his Film Watching CV. Although he makes an interesting myth diagnosis of “Pretty Woman”, our first two films are but pitstops on the way to the Big Question – has Richard’s beloved “Rocky” improved Greg’s opinion of Sylvester Stallone since our Season 1 review of “Cliffhang…

Episode 55: S04 E06: Ricardo In The Confessional 59:58

59:58

Here at the FMFW Podcast, we like to play a little game – are there well-known films that our reviewers “confess” to not yet seeing? This episode, Richard steps into the FMFW Confessional. Will his sins of omission be original (or merely venial)? More importantly, will Greg ever forgive Richard his opinion of a favoured film? Galaxy Quest (1999) ht…

Episode 54: S04 E05: I Need A Good Laugh 53:10

53:10

Pandemic Lockdown sucks – so Richard and Greg decide they need a good laugh. Each chooses a sure-thing comedy (previously unseen by the other) to give them that lift. And then they both watch a Marx Brothers film for the first time. Does it work? Does a bear do stand-up in the woods? Duck Soup (1933) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-04-04-soup Happy Gilmore…

Episode 53: S04 E04: A Fistful Of Oscars 1:00:47

1:00:47

Only three films have ever won the “Big 5” Oscars: Actor, Actress, Screenplay, Director and Film. And this is where we’d usually tell you their titles (with links). But let’s keep a sense of mystery this time and reveal them as we go. We’ll tell you now that they’re from the Thirties, Seventies and Nineties. The rest is up to you (no Googling!) Our…

Episode 52: S04 E03: Our Three Sons 1:14:38

1:14:38

In the spirit of “Bring Your Child To Work Day”, our podcasters ask Sebastian, Cass and Théo to each choose a film and then review it with their Dads. The Sons display their inner geek – and Richard and Greg learn that their legacy is in safe hands. Three sons, three movies: it couldn’t have been better scripted! But which movie was transformed by …

Episode 51: S04 E02: Turn Back & Face The Music 1:00:40

1:00:40

Richard and Greg finally get round to reviewing three musicals mentioned way back in Season 1 – all musicals about people who are themselves creating musical experiences. On two of these films, they’re highly aligned. But one film leaves Greg apologising for trampling all over Richard’s dreams. Is that why Greg tells Richard that they’ll always hav…

Melbourne has been in pandemic lockdown. So Richard and Greg record their first distanced podcast (socially, not emotionally). They start this series by reviewing three films that regularly appear on Bad Movie lists. Can their scores rival their lowest yet – half a point for “Showgirls” in Series 2? Tune in and find out… Battlefield Earth (2000) ht…

Can it be Christmas again already? Richard and Greg have been in Pandemic Lockdown throughout 2020, working at a safe distance from each other (if such a thing exists) to develop Season 4. Ironically, now that they’re allowed out again, they stay home to watch two Christmas Classics with ardent fanbases – and then jump forward to last Christmas to …

Episode 48: FMFW Season 4 Announcement! 1:46

Not so much a Christmas message, more of a cross-promotion (which sounds more Easterish than Christmassy). Greg stops by to tell you about our Season 4 AND another podcast that Richard has been working on this year.

A heart as big as Phar Lap’s. Journalist Peter Luck’s ground breaking interview with Mary McCann in the late 1990’s includes horse vet Bill Nielsen’s confession to his daughter – “It’s not Phar Lap’s heart, it’s a draught horse’s!” Portions of Phar Lap’s heart pieces that were cut out and put in separate jars in 1932, are sent to a cutting edge lab…

Winter of 2005; a seed is planted for the invisible to become visible – forensic science at its best.
