  • Episode 78: FM/FW Mini E05: Sinners
    This is our first-ever minisode for a movie that is NOT a sequel. Richard thought that hewas dragging Greg into a Horror film, but it turns out that he was dragging himself into aMusical. While it may not be the first-ever Vampire Musical (that was possibly “Buffy”S06 E07), it’s undoubtedly a first for vampires that River Dance. Feel free to do a bit ofthe ol’ River Dancing while listening. Unless of course you’re driving or using heavymachinery.Sinners (2025)  https://tinyurl.com/fmfw-minisode-05

  • Episode 77: S05 E10: Cinematic Wheel of Fortune
    Richard and Greg join their partners Niniane and Naomi to discuss films chosen by the aforementioned Wheel. Who agrees with whom? And, more interestingly, who doesn’t?? Season 5 ends with the quartet celebrating anAustralian comedy classic that has become both beloved and iconic – to which our podcast can only aspire.* The Indian in the Cupboard (1995) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-10-indian* In the Mood for Love (2000) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-10-mood* The Castle (1997) http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-10-castle

  • Episode 76: S05 E09: Let's Get Italian!
    In this episode, we move from Greg’s comfort zone (whodunnits) to Richard’s (Italian pronunciation).  Our reviewers discuss three Italian films that made it in the English-speaking world.  Two made it to the Oscars, and all have something to say about “la condizione umana”.  And then, in preparation for the season finale, Richard and Greg try something new – the Cinematic Wheel of Fortune (complete with sound effects!)• God Willing (2015)  http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-09-willing• Il Postino (1994)  http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-09-postino• Life is Beautiful (1997)  http://tinyurl.com/fmfw-05-09-life

  • Episode 75: S05 E08: Whodunnits of Interest
    Greg takes Richard into classic Agatha Christie territory with a French director’s Hollywood take on a British novel.  After examining the British class system, they finish with a largely forgotten whodunnit film written by Psycho actor Anthony Perkins and West Side Story composer Stephen Sondheim.  And if that doesn’t get you in, nothing will.  What is Richard’s problem with filmic murder?  And is it OK for Death to be funny?

  • Episode 74: S05 E07: Millennial Shakespeare
    Richard and Greg review three Shakespearean films made either side of the year 2000.  Shakespeare is known for raising the Big Questions – and this episode is no exception.  Which of our podcasters is the worse at trying to sound Shakespearean?  Are they better or worse than American actors at this?  Are podcasts like the theatre, where the Scottish Play must not be mentioned by name?  And (most importantly of all) what DID Shakespeare have against Norway?
