Talk Movie To Me

This week we observe a world not too dissimilar from the one we know now and through the lens of a war photo journalist; a job that we all agree looks utterly harrowing. We’re talking Alex Garland’s Civil War starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura and Cailee Spaeny, with a welcomed yet terrifying cameo from Jesse Plemons. Tune in to hear our thoughts!

It’s got gore, it’s got lore, it’s the directorial debut of Dev Patel! This week we’re discussing Monkey Man! Dev takes some big swings with this one! Join us for a wild ride because this one truly goes apeshit.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, POSSESSION! This week we’re discussing Late Night with the Devil! It’s time to separate the believers from the skeptics as we conjure up a great conversation about this newly released horror film. Oh and Edison tries to convince us that he has been hypnotized four times.

This week we are throwing on some workout gear and taking you for a wild ride through the neon-lit streets of 1989 for writer-director Rose Glass’s latest film Love Lies Bleeding, starring Kirsten Stewart. With enough twists and turns to make your head spin faster than a protein shake blender, Love Lies Bleeding is the kind of film that leaves you questioning your own sanity. So, grab your popcorn and prepare to be thoroughly entertained, baffled, and maybe just a little traumatized. 

Award’s season is over so we’re putting prestige films aside to make room for Jake Gyllenhaal’s rockin’ bod Sydney Sweeney’s scream queen debut. That’s right, this week we’re talking the Road House remake streaming on Prime and Immaculate being screened in desperately dark theatres.

This week we dive into the magical world of Hayao Miyazaki! Helen is away, so Edison and Ms. Sinclair are teaming up to discuss Oscar winning film The Boy and the Heron. Come join us for this cosmic adventure!

Are you ready for some desert drama? Cause we’re gonna dive into the swirling sands of Dune: Part Two. This movie has it all. Intrigue, battles, prophecies, witches, love, lust, laughter. It even has Christopher Walken! So grab your stillsuit and spice melange, people, because we're about to hitch a ride on a giant sand worm and embark on a journey through the treacherous deserts of Arrakis!

It's the February Movie Slump! Right on time! And we're diverting from our usual content (discussing movies with a modicum of substance) and bringing you this; Slumpuary: This is Me...Now & The Beekeeper. Have a laugh and judge Edison freely!

This week we all have a good cry and discuss Past Lives, the directorial debut from Celine Song. We’re on the road to the Oscars and couldn’t be more excited to chat about this impressive and poignant film!

On this episode, we discuss Jonathan Glazer’s new film, “The Zone of Interest”, which tells the story of Rudolf and his wife, Hedwig, as they go about their very normal, ordinary, hum drum lives just on the other side of the wall from Auschwitz, where Rudolf is a commandant. This film asks the question: Whatever happened to loving thy neighbour?

This week, hold on to your inner child because we're discussing All of Us Strangers from director Andrew Haigh. This film has a truly stacked cast with moving performances from Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell. Tune in to hear our many thoughts!

This week we’re chatting American Fiction! Did this TIFF People’s Choice winner live up to the hype? Did the story leap off the pages into our hearts? Did Jeffrey Wright earn that Oscar nomination? Which Johnny Walker Label would each of us choose? Tune in to find out!

On this week’s episode we get thrown into the ring with sweaty muscle god Zac Efron and his brothers Harris Dickinson, Jeremy Allen White and Stanley Simons, as we wrestle with our emotions in the film “The Iron Claw”. Does this movie have us down for the count, or are we calling it an empty victory? Only one way to find out, ooooohhh yeeeaaahhh!

Grab your extra large popcorn, some chocolate and a couple Portuguese custard tarts because we've got a double feature for you! First up is Wonka, starring Timothée Jenner - sorry - Chalamet, in the origin story of the infamous chocolatier. Second is Poor Things, directed by Greek visionary Yorgos Lanthimos, and starring Emma Stone, who delivers the performance of the year.

It’s time to leave 2023 behind film lovers! We’re moving on to 2024 with one of our favourite yearly episodes! It’s Talk Movie To Me’s 7th annual Most Anticipated Episode! Will our picks be hits or major flops? Only time will tell! This year we had a few surprising picks so tune in to hear what we can’t wait to see!

Ho! Ho! Hope you’re having a happy holiday season! We are so excited to bring you our 7th Annual Talk Movie To Me Christmas Special, where Helen, Ms Sinclair and Edison have several many cups of cheer and watch three Christmas movies. This year, we’re watching White Christmas, Jingle All the Way, and Elf. You can expect singing, swooning, drunken cackling, and at least one epic Ms Sinclair rant. So grab a cup of cocoa, snuggle up by the fire, and join us for this very special episode!

Hey listeners, did you also have a dream about Paul Giamatti mushrooms and a late-in-career Nic Cage with horseshoe hair? We knew it! This week we delve in on Dream Scenario from Norwegian director Kristoffer Borgli and we learn that Ms. Sinclair only has nightmares when she dreams.

I hope everyone has enough hot dogs because we’re serving up some melodrama with May December, the new film by Todd Haynes. It’s classy, it’s camp, it has heart, it has teeth, it’s drama, it’s comedy and there is a whole lot to discuss!!

This week we eat the rich! But is Emerald Fennell's new film "Saltburn" a meal where we'd go back for seconds or did we have to choke it down? Join Helen, Ms Sinclair and Edison as they discuss "Saltburn", starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi.

Edison is away this week and we have a lovely guest host in his place! Felicia Maroni, friend of the show and fellow movie buff, is here to discuss Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall. There will be spoilers in this episode, you’ve been warned! Felicia hosts her own movie podcast - Seeing Faces in Movies - you can find that wherever you get your podcasts or at the website www.seeingfacesinmovies.com
