This episode, Liam has a pivotal realisation about the format of this podcast, and the friends discuss a weekend shared in Brisbane.
This week's film, All Of Us Strangers (2023), has a big impact on both Liam and Bec. The beautifully crafted story is a powerful and unique exploration of relationships and healing, with an excellent and heartbreaking soundtrack to boot!

Minari
This week, Liam shares the story of when Bec accidentally swindled the local video store. The hosts then discuss Minari (2020), the delicate story of a Korean-American family's pursuit of the American dream.
Stay tuned at the end for a bonus conversation about how the hosts would fare in a hypothetical zombie apocalypse and whether a cinema would make a good place to hide.
Please bear with us through some slightly patchy audio in this episode - better recording equipment is on its way!

Poor Things
The hosts play another friendship word association game to reveal Bec's a scatterbrain, Liam's a silent stumbler and they're both PC Tetris nerds.
This week we unpack the Academy Award winning film, Poor Things (2023). Outstanding performances by Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Defoe alongside beautifully scripted storytelling and cinematography make this one to remember.

Cocaine Bear
As always, Liam and Bec have a quick chat about what they've been watching lately. Liam introduces a friendship word association game to remember some friendship fun times including falling on his head at yoga, too much vodka, clams, diarrhea and Mr Marshmallow Man.
This week we unpack Cocaine Bear, the 2023 comedy/horror (is it really a horror though??) in all of its glorious madness. We just can't get enough of this wild ride.

Death Becomes Her
Your hosts discuss Liam's pick, the 1992 dark comedy Death Becomes Her. From excellent comedic performances to pettiness and plotting, it's an endlessly fun and quotable film.
