Rich and Jimmy Watch a Film

NOBODY TRUSTS ANYBODY ANYMORE…..This week we’re taking a break from the normal format and taking the show on the road! We’re in London's West End at the world famous Prince Charles Cinema for a screening of John Carpenter's “The Thing”!We discuss the amazing special effects, some of the more baffling choices of equipment for arctic researchers, and Jimmy pretty much just gushes about his favourite film and director. There is a nice little backstory to this film as well that ties into the whole start of the show so there are some nice little takeaways sprinkled throughout! There’s also some references to an idea we had for “Re-MAY-ke” month that never materialized, but maybe next year!As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

On this very, very, special episode we watch the upcoming, multiple award winning, Indie Short; LizzieHead! As the film is still yet to be released publicly we couldn’t give too much away in the episode but we are extremely lucky to be joined on the episode by writer, producer, director MW Daniels, and lead actor Charlotte Gould, who take us through the process of creating a short film.It’s a wonderful exploration of the passion and creativity involved in seeing a project like filmmaking through to completion and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did, or even better: find something to take away from the discussions!#lizziehead #shortfilm #comedy #indiefilm #awardwinningshort #quirky #offbeat #richandjimmy Hosted on Acast.

WHOAH, THAT’S A BIG PLANE……This week we’re releasing the long-lost episode covering the wonderfully silly, disaster flick - 2012! (A film not known for its quotes).We originally recorded this around the 1 year anniversary of the show (happy belated birthday to us!), and we had a myriad of issues with the recording from recorders dying and wiping audio from the SD cards to forgetting to hit record! There’s also a host of gimmicks and references from older formats that all come together to make an episode as mad and chaotic as the Apocalypse! So…. enjoy ?As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM…..This week we are looking at the wonderfully chilling, British anthology film; “Ghost Stories”, from 2017.We discuss the evolution of the premise from a stage show to film, the brilliant cast and their performances, why we consider many scenes in this to be some of the most tense put on film (until they aren’t), and dive head first into a raft of theories and ideas on the overall narrative and the endless list of bread crumbs the film leaves for you.PLEASE NOTE: The after film chat section of this episode contains complete and heavy spoilers for the end of the film, and we strongly recommend that you watch the movie first, to avoid having it ruined!As always we can't say thank you enough for listening and also check out all our socials and YouTube - all @richandjimmy.

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME……..Well… maybe not - but like the characters in this film we can certainly pretend! This week we’re watching the plastic perfection that is The LEGO Movie!We discuss a whole lot in this ep; from the cast, the values of imagination and its subversive themes, to the vastness of LEGO as a business as well as some of its history and how through excellent writing and a whole lot of love and charm, this movie avoids becoming just a 90-minute commercial.We had a lot of fun on this one and we hope you do too!

PUT THE BUNNY, BACK IN THE BOX… We’re back and we’re kicking off Series 2 with a bang! This week we cover the 1997 action flick CON AIR. We chat about why, in our opinion, cursing and blood make a better action movie, the Alabama drawl, the consistent comedy running through the whole film and our mutual admiration for this stellar cast. Plus all the normal eating, drinking and silliness. It’s a good old time!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
