Description

You couldn’t find two more different people — from opposite sides of the world — with completely different takes on what’s entertaining, serious, heartfelt, or funny.


Rohan (the Aussie from Melbourne) loves his romantic comedies.
Rob (the Scotsman from Glasgow) loves his action films.


Each week, the boys deep dive into a new movie — unpacking the themes, cast, awards, controversies, and a heap of trivia along the way.


They don’t hold back. Sometimes they agree, often they don’t — but it’s always honest, hilarious, and a little bit chaotic.


New episodes drop every Saturday.


Fifteen years of friendship has led to the birth of Aussie and the Scotsman — two mates, two accents, and one shared obsession with great movies.


Strap in. It’s not always pretty, but it’s definitely fun.

Boogie Nights

Boogie Nights

2026-03-1351:41

This week the lads review the 1997 American comedy-drama Boogie Nights, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Set in the San Fernando Valley, the film follows the rise and fall of a young dishwasher-turned-porn star during the industry’s 1970s boom and its collapse in the excess of the 1980s. The cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heather Graham. There’s still no update on the Aussie’s blood-pressure results, so that saga continues. The conversation moves into perseverance, resilience and why the Aussie has absolutely no motivation to get fit — his defence being that he doesn’t play elite sport. The Scotsman remains unconvinced. The episode peaks with the biggest apology in Aussie and the Scotsman history, as the Scotsman finally owns his Saving Private Ryan blunder. The Aussie delights in the moment, declaring his co-host’s credibility damaged beyond repair, while the Scotsman attempts to pin the blame on Spielberg. On the film itself, the Aussie admits Boogie Nights didn’t really grab him, though he loved the soundtrack and recalls meeting Heather Graham in Italy. The Scotsman enjoyed the rewatch, sparking discussions about Dirk Diggler, his “special talent,” a modern detour into Bonnie Blue. Rohan Reminisces back to 1977, and a “Who Am I?” quiz that starts with the words: “I am a racist.” The podcast is out now on YouTube, and also available on Spotify or Apple.

Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan

2026-03-0651:15

This week we are reviewing the 1998 American epic war film Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg. Set in 1944 during World War II, the story follows a group of American soldiers, led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks), as they head into occupied France to find and bring home Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon), whose three brothers have been killed in action. The cast is huge and phenomenal—we go through all the major players and compare this ensemble to some of the greatest ever put on screen. So that raises the question: which movie actually has the best ensemble cast of all time? We break it down, and yes, we argue about it. We start the episode with a bit of personal drama. The Scotsman shares his recent ECG results, which freaked him out, only for the Aussie to casually drop a blood pressure reading so high it nearly broke the machine. Health update over, we dive straight into the meat of the movie. The big question at the heart of Saving Private Ryan is a moral one: should eight men risk their lives to save one? Is it right? Is it justified? We don’t agree, and we’re not quiet about it. Then there’s that incredible opening sequence—the first 20 minutes of the film. Brutal, unforgettable, and absolutely not the film to throw on if you’re hoping to relax at the end of the day.      And then the Scotsman makes a complete fool of himself. He launches into a full-blown rant about the Aussie missing a critical plot point, absolutely convinced he’s right.  The Scotsman is convinced that the German soldier Captain Miller releases (nicknamed "Steamboat Willie") is the same guy who later kills the Jewish soldier with the knife to the chest.  He cannot believe the Aussie “missed it” and declares it a key arc. He says, “I couldn’t be more certain. You’ve seen it multiple times. It’s so important to the whole film.” He’s loud, he's confident, and he cannot be told otherwise. He stakes his reputation on it. The only problem? He’s wrong. The result? One big helping of humble pie, and a formal apology coming next week. Rohan Reminisces takes us back to 1944, with a look at what else was happening during the war, from Anne Frank’s diary to Meet Me in St. Louis with Judy Garland. We quiz the Scotsman on who was born that year, dive into trivia, and cover the Oscars—Saving Private Ryan took home 5 wins out of 11 nominations. And yes, this week’s trivia section is one of the longest we've ever done. You’ve been warned. The episode is out now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Sicario with Mat

Sicario with Mat

2026-02-2758:47

This week the lads review the 2015 American action crime thriller Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Taylor Sheridan in his screenwriting debut. Starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin, the film follows an idealistic FBI agent drawn into a covert government task force targeting a powerful Mexican drug cartel.  They’re joined once again by Mat Norris from Perth — long-time movie obsessive and friend of the Scotsman — who immediately raises the collective IQ of the room. There’s a brief detour into Perth nostalgia and shout-outs to old friends before the Aussie, about to head off on another work trip, poses a genuinely troubling question: is it appropriate (or even legal) to watch explicit films on an iPad on an airplane? This is followed by an airplane-toilet confession that ranks among his more selfish moments. On Sicario itself, the Aussie admits the film didn’t fully land for him, particularly questioning Emily Blunt’s role and purpose. This opens a can of worms, with Mat calmly explaining why her character is absolutely central to the film’s structure and intent. Both Mat and the Scotsman are firmly in the film’s corner, praising it as a masterclass in tension, restraint and moral ambiguity — or as Mat puts it, “fooling the audience while showing them enormous respect.” Mat takes control of the episode, offering sharp insights into Villeneuve’s direction, scene construction and narrative misdirection. Confusion around the opening raid, the bodies in the walls and the explosion is patiently cleared up, while standout moments include the infamous flip-flop scene, the introduction of Benicio del Toro’s character, and the bridge sequence — all used to unpack the film’s biggest question: who is actually the protagonist? Rohan Reminisces heads back to 2015, revisiting Best Picture nominees including Birdman, Whiplash, American Sniper and The Theory of Everything. A big thanks goes to Mat for joining and elevating the conversation — again. The podcast is out now on YouTube, and also available on Spotify or Apple.

This week the boys review the 1981 American action-adventure classic Raiders of the Lost Ark, directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Lawrence Kasdan, from a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. Set in 1936, the film stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, a globe-trotting archaeologist racing Nazi forces to recover the Ark of the Covenant, alongside Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood and Paul Freeman as rival archaeologist René Belloq. They’re joined by special guest Mat Norris from Perth — an avid movie lover and remarkably recent listener who casually reveals he’s binge-watched all 200 episodes in the past six months. The lads take a moment to absorb the praise, clearly unaccustomed to that level of commitment. Mat talks about growing up in Perth surrounded by theatre, his brushes with local and international actors, and how it all fed his love of cinema. Before diving into Raiders, the conversation widens to kids, shrinking attention spans, instant access, and whether the modern viewing experience is losing something essential. When the film discussion finally begins, it quickly derails into an argument about whether it’s acceptable to call the movie simply Raiders. The Aussie insists everyone knows what that means. The Scotsman calls nonsense. Mat sides with the Aussie more than once, which visibly unsettles the room. There’s a bold claim that in this specific movie - Harrison Ford might be the best-looking male character in movie history. The claim is not withdrawn. Mat arrives armed with deep knowledge and trivia, comfortably putting both hosts to shame as they break down favourite scenes and moments. Rohan Reminisces is widely regarded as a low point this week, with the Aussie attempting to revive the segment using historical trivia from 1936 — a move that goes down badly with the Scotsman. Jesse Owens briefly saves proceedings, Mat edges the Scotsman in quiz questions, and to cap it off, the Aussie accidentally renames his own segment “Trivia Time.” Chaos ensues. The episode closes with rankings of the Indiana Jones sequels. The podcast is out now on YouTube, and also available on Spotify or Apple.

Captain Phillips

Captain Phillips

2026-02-2052:51

This week we are talking about the 2013 American biographical action-thriller film Captain Phillips, directed by Paul Greengrass. Based on the real-life 2009 Maersk Alabama hijacking, this one tells the intense true story of Captain Richard Phillips, an American merchant mariner who was taken hostage by Somali pirates. Tom Hanks leads as Phillips, and Barkhad Abdi is phenomenal as pirate leader Abduwali Muse. This is a fantastic film – we both rate it highly and absolutely recommend giving it a watch. That said, you don’t need to watch before you listen—no major spoilers here. It’s based on a real-life event, so the tension is all in the how, not the what. It’s fast-paced, gripping, and honestly? The Scotsman is on another level this week. He overshares with updates on his ECG, ADHD, prostate check, bladder test—and that's just scratching the surface. The man is a walking medical report! But something deeper happened—this movie made the Scotsman feel. Properly. Emotions got the better of him, and the Aussie is still in shock. We’re starting to wonder if we need a support group for emotionally vulnerable podcasters. The final 40 minutes of this film? Electric. Hanks is unreal—just mesmerising. And yep, we couldn’t stop repeating: "I’m the captain now." And just like that... we find ourselves recreating the final scenes—and almost tearing up. Again. Rohan Reminisces takes a wild turn this week: the year Tiger Woods went on a full-blown porn star rampage. It’s our deep dive into one of the biggest celebrity falls from grace.

Marty Supreme

Marty Supreme

2026-02-1350:01

This week the lads review the 2025 American sports comedy-drama Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie and co-written with Ronald Bronstein. Timothée Chalamet stars in the title role, supported by Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher. Set in the 1950s, the film is loosely inspired by the life and legend of American table-tennis icon Marty Reisman. The episode has extra weight, with both hosts watching the film together on opening night — still slightly stunned that a table-tennis movie even exists. Long-time listeners will know why this matters: the Aussie was a genuine prodigy from the age of 12, ranked top six in Australia and eyeing the Olympics before life intervened. Things kick off with an embarrassing early memory lapse from the Scotsman, followed by a pre-film detour into elevator etiquette and Indian train etiquette, before diving into the movie itself. While the story takes plenty of liberties with Reisman’s life, both agree the spirit is nailed — with Chalamet perfectly capturing the swagger, self-belief and obsession of an elite competitor. The Aussie offers rare insight into the mindset of a top-level athlete: the confidence, the tunnel vision, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed. The cast earns strong praise across the board, with particular love for Paltrow, and the discussion widens into why table tennis still isn’t taken seriously as a sport. From bat grip and technique to groupies, red-and-black paddle rules and the choice between dating a quarterback or a table-tennis player, things go deep — and weird. Along the way, the Aussie casually mentions beating a two-time Olympian, prompting a few digs from the Scotsman and then genuine respect all round. Rohan Reminisces heads back to 1952, where the questions prove trickier than expected and the Scotsman records a rare clean sweep.

The Father

The Father

2026-02-0644:13

This week we are talking about the 2020 psychological drama film The Father, directed by Florian Zeller in his directorial debut. The film stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as an ageing Welsh man living with dementia, in a role that won him the Academy Award for Best Actor. The cast also includes Olivia Colman, Mark Gatiss, Imogen Poots, Rufus Sewell, and Olivia Williams. We kick off with Rob (the Scotsman) ranting about the eternal wait times at the doctor’s office — and it somehow spirals into an attempt to get the Aussie to open up about his own medical history. That leads to a deeper chat about how uniforms change our perception of people — doctors, police, airline pilots... it gets interesting fast. SPOILER ALERT: Watch this movie before listening. It’s essential viewing if you want the full impact. And then — chaos. The Scotsman gives this movie a full 5/5. The Aussie? 1/5. And in over 200 episodes, the Scotsman has never been more shocked. What follows is one of our most fascinating and personal discussions yet — about how and why this movie connects deeply with one of us… and completely misses the mark for the other. Trigger warning: This film deals heavily with dementia, ageing, and the emotional toll on carers and family. The Aussie, clearly unimpressed, declares it “slow, repetitive, miscast”… and then compares it to Duel, of all things. The Scotsman is speechless. He spends most of the episode trying to figure out how on earth this emotional powerhouse didn’t land with his co-host. We break down how the film’s intentional disorientation mirrors the experience of dementia — a storytelling device that the Scotsman believes is utterly brilliant. The Aussie? Not so much. We’d genuinely love to know who you agree with here — it’s a polarising episode for a polarising film. Rohan Reminisces and Trivia round out the episode as usual — this week with a few laughs, a few facts, and a surprising reflection or two. The podcast is available now on Spotify or Apple.

This week the Aussie brings a movie discussion topic to the podcast – Diamonds in the Rough. We’re talking about films you might’ve scrolled past, dismissed, forgotten about, or never even heard of. These are the ones we reckon deserve a second look – the ones you should see. We both picked a few that maybe aren’t technically in the rough – but they're close enough. They're films we love, we think you’ll love, and we explain why they still made the cut even if they don't quite fit the definition. Will the footage ever see daylight? Who knows. What we do know is the Aussie can’t stop checking himself out in the monitor mid-recording. Useless for you as a listener, but absolutely hilarious for us. The Aussie also shares a strange and very funny story involving a taxi ride in New Zealand. Now, would you consider any of these true diamonds in the rough? 12 Angry Men Strangers on a Train Psycho – is it too famous to qualify? Richard Jewell A Clockwork Orange Hamburger Hill Manchester by the Sea Saltburn Carrie Alexandra’s Project Boiling Point Nitram Oldboy If a few of those don’t ring a bell – that’s exactly the point. No French New Wave, no obscure arthouse cinema. This is a meat-and-potatoes list of films we actually enjoy, and think you will too. Wait until you hear the Scotsman’s reaction to the Aussie’s number one pick – let’s just say the Scotsman makes a rare mistake and you can hear his brain glitching in real time. Let us know which ones you would’ve added. The podcast is available now on Spotify or Apple.

Season 3 - Welcome

Season 3 - Welcome

2026-02-0632:41

They’re back. Somehow. Against all odds. Season 3 begins with the Scotsman opening with one of the biggest compliments ever delivered on the podcast, quickly followed by the Aussie offering a completely muddled comparison between cocaine and sugar. It’s clear early on that nothing has changed. With the Aussie away over the break and the Scotsman in town, the pair catch up on the past two months — touching on serious world events, personal shocks, and the heavier moments that sat behind the break. From there, attention turns to what’s coming in Season 3: including Rohan Reminisces, a brand-new segment, and a few ideas that probably sounded better on paper. Awards season gets a workout, with Golden Globe winners discussed, Oscar predictions floated, and some light whinging directed at Leonardo DiCaprio and Jacob Elordi. The Scotsman makes a strong case for breaking tradition to review Adolescence, declaring it unmissable television, while the Aussie admits he still hasn’t watched it and remains unconvinced. Things derail further when the Aussie confidently declares that Timothée Chalamet “isn’t much of a looker,” seemingly unable to separate actors from the characters they play — a statement that may age poorly. The biggest change, however, is YouTube. Everything is now filmed, the Aussie is fully on board, and rumours of hair and makeup before each show are neither confirmed nor denied. They also announce a new monthly format — on the first of each month, listeners will know exactly which films are coming up — along with talk of future guests, the Scotsman’s mate Jeremy, and even his parents also get a mention. It all builds to what is unanimously agreed to be one of the worst endings to a podcast in Aussie and the Scotsman history. Season 3 has officially begun.

This week we face off against each other - the ultimate debate - who do we think is better Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone? Now this is not as simple as you think  - we have categories. Best Bio. Best movie. Total Box Office. Best one-liners. Best Sequels.   Best all rounder. And points awarded for each. Who do you think will take out the win? The Aussie has Sly and the Scotsman takes on Arnie. Both have multi-billion dollar generating movies. Both have great sequels and great movies. But who has brought the best debate to the party - tune in and see what you think.   The cards are placed on the table. But then the tables get turned!

Apocalypse Now - with Simon

Apocalypse Now - with Simon

2025-11-2801:31:51

This week we are talking about the 1979 American psychological epic war film Apocalypse Now produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The screenplay is loosely inspired by the 1899 novella Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, with the setting changed from late 19th-century Congo to the Vietnam War. The film follows a river journey from South Vietnam into Cambodia undertaken by Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), who is on a secret mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a renegade Special Forces officer who is accused of murder and presumed insane. The ensemble cast also features Robert Duvall, Frederic Forrest, Albert Hall, Sam Bottoms, Laurence Fishburne, Dennis Hopper, and Harrison Ford. We welcome Simon from Perth back to the studio - and boy is he the right person to bring on for this one. Apocalypse Now is one of the most famous, if not one of the best movies ever made - and we talk in depth  - why we think that is the case. But as always, before we do - the Aussie tells us about an incident at a taxi rank he saw this week - which triggers (no pun intended) a story from Simon and a trip across the Nullarbor Plain. The Scotsman talks about his social battery No messing around with this one - Simon tells us straight off the bat - this is one of his 5 star films. Sit back and enjoy as we scrutinise one of the best films of all time. A film the Aussie had not yet seen. What do you think he will say about this one? This is a brain explosion - a visual feast, every scene is a smorgasbord of colours, textures and layers. We have a robust discussion about Colonel Kurtz - is he a madman or is he just ideologically at odds with the US Government?

Network with Simon

Network with Simon

2025-11-2801:00:52

This week we are talking about the1976 American comedy drama film Network directed by Sidney Lumet and written by Paddy Chayefsky. It depicts a television network struggling with poor ratings until the nightly live broadcast of its longtime news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) inadvertently showcases his breakdown into increasingly psychotic behaviour, which makes his show a surprise hit. Alongside Finch (in his final role), the film stars Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Duvall, Wesley Addy, Ned Beatty, and Beatrice Straight Sophisticated, talented, artistic, thoughtful and brilliantly creative are words unfamiliar to the Aussie and the Scotsman but well suited to long time friend and guest of the podcast Simon from Perth. As a student of movies Simon articulates and walks us through why this is such an important movie. Why and how scenes work. Our conversation kicks off with the Aussie telling us a story about chocolate. The Scotsman thinks this movie is more relevant today that it has ever been he is impassioned and shouts it from the top of his lungs: "I'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore!!" As the Aussie says this one "hit's the pulse of the people" then and now.  This is a 5/5 movie from the Scotsman - we haven't seen him this animated for while. It's a must watch.  The podcast is out now on on Spotify or Apple please click the subscribe or follow button - it really does help us be seen amongst all the other podcasts. Thanks for your support
