Welcome back, movie enthusiasts, to another thrilling episode of WN Movie Talk, where we dive deep into the world of cinema. Today I embark on an exhilarating adventure as I explore two cinematic masterpieces: Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1953 classic Wages of Fear and its gripping 1970's counterpart, Sorcerer, directed by Exorcist director William Friedkin two films based on the novel Le Salaire de la peur, examining how each film approaches similar themes and plot points while maintaining its own distinct identity.

"Wages of Fear." A groundbreaking film of its era, immerses us in the treacherous world of four desperate men tasked with transporting nitro-glycerine across perilous terrain. We delve into the tense atmosphere, the intricate character dynamics, and the raw intensity that make this film a timeless masterpiece.

But our journey doesn't stop there. We shift gears to explore William Friedkin's 1977 remake, "Sorcerer." starring Roy Schieder.

A bold reinterpretation of Clouzot's original, "Sorcerer" thrusts us into a world of political unrest and moral ambiguity as four men from different walks of life are brought together by fate to undertake a harrowing mission. We analyze Friedkin's stylistic choices, the thematic layers woven throughout the narrative, and the ways in which "Sorcerer" both honours its predecessor and carves its own path.

As expected, the industry giants – established directors, beloved franchises, superheroes, and captivating biopics – once again dominated the box office where the realms of toys and games, embodied by 'Barbie' and 'Super Mario Bros,' reign supreme.

We'll traverse through the highs and lows of my own movie-going experiences, from bidding farewell to Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the 'Dial of Destiny' to unexpected gems like the quirky horror hit 'Talk To Me' and the surprisingly enjoyable 'Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Amongst Thieves,' to the entertaining true story of a YouTuber taking on Wall Street in 'Dumb Money,' featuring Paul Dano and Seth Rogen.

Classic directors made triumphant returns to the scene, enriching 2023 with cinematic brilliance. Christopher Nolan mesmerized us with the sprawling epic 'Oppenheimer,' delving into the true story of the man behind the atom bomb. Ridley Scott sparked controversy with the historical drama 'Napoleon,' Martin Scorsese transported us to the epic Western crime drama 'Killers Of The Flower Moon,' and Spielberg's biopic 'The Fablemans' unfolded with the masterful storytelling we've come to expect.

And the list goes on – a multitude of cinematic treasures and failings that shaped the landscape of 2023. But that's not all – in this episode we'll be also be delving into the highs and lows of the year as seen through the eyes of you, our beloved listeners. So Lights, camera, let the movie talk begin!

A special episode of Films that I Own That I Haven't Watched Yet, recorded shortly after Christmas last year (so only took me the best part of a year to edit and upload!) Four films, all linking from one to the next - so not chosen at random.

The first Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939) - from director Frank Capra and starring James Stewart (who would later work together on Its A Wonderful Life), Jean Arthur and Claude Rains - a political comedy drama in which Stewart plays a newly appointed Senator who is battling a corrupt political system.

Then, I watch and review the festive romantic comedy The Shop Around The Corner (1940) - another James Stewart movie, a romantic comedy directed by Ernst Lubitsch in which Stewart plays alongside Margaret Sullivan as two employees working in a leathergoods shop, who dispite loathing each otrher in person are actually falling in love via anonymous letters.

Film 3 is You've Got Mail. (1998) which sees Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks star in a Nora Ephron retelling of the Shop Around the Corner, for the digital age, as Meg Ryan plays a small book shop owner who is put out of business by the book store chain owner, Hanks, but again, via anonymous emails they strike up a loving relationship

Finally, film 4 is Nora Ephron's whimsical remake of the classic TV Series Bewtitched, in which Will Farrell plays a fading TV star trying to boost his career by relaunching a classic TV show (Bewtitched) by casting unknown actress (and actual witch) played by Nicole Kidman.

In 1989, Tim Burton bought a new darker version of the Bob Kane creation Batman to life. The DC comic superhero was portrayed by comedy star Michael Keaton, and the Joker was none other than the manic Jack Nicholson. Bat Mania swept across the planet, and ten year old me was completely obsessed.

Fast forward ten years, I had a youtube channel doing film reviews, revisited the film and wasn't at all impressed (you can hear that review in this weeks episode too).

Skip on another ten years or so, and here I am, having just picked p the Bluray Batman Quadrilogy Boxset at a charity shop for £2.50, and I thought I would sit through again. Has my opinion changed? Will I make it through all four films? Find out now, in another episode of WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST!

This week is a rare review of a modern release - something I usually leave for the rest of the worlds Youtube / podcast film buffs, so as not to add to an over saturated market... but this time, after umming and arring for the past few weeks as to whether or not I should go and watch the latest installment in the Indiana Jones series, Indiana JOnes and the Dial Of Destiny, and in the end I did, and soI felt I had to have a say.

I briefly discuss the other movies in the series, mostly The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls, although there is a video review up on the WN MOVIE TALK Youtube channel at present of the original trilogy as taken from an old YouTube channel, and then in the final moments of the pod I will rank the Indiana Jones films too, in case you're interested in my humble opinion.

Trev was put up with a bad back over the weekend, and decided that it was a great time to revisit the 80's Ron Howard sci-fi fantasy Cocoon (1985), a Spielberg-esque film of wonder and sentiment, with lots of laughs along the way and great performances from its senior cast of Hollywood legends, past their sell-by date but still going strong. Actors such as Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Don Ameche, Jack Gilford, Wilford Brimley, and supported by a younger cast including Brian Dennehy and Steve Guttenberg.

When a trio of elderly residents from a residential home break into the swimming pool of an abandoned house, they stumble across a group of alien cocoons, and the water they swim in has been filled with an exilir-like life source to preserve the ancient embrio's.Soon, the three elderly men have a new zest for life as the life source begins to work its magic.

From Mike Judge (King of the Hill, Office Space) Beavis and Butthead follows those two iconic stars of MTV on a hapless feature-lengthed episode, as a quest for TV becomes an all out action-fuelled plot featuring the voices of none-other than Bruce Willis and Demi Moore as the two villains of the film.

Watching tonight's film was like a bit of a time warp for both Stan and I, more so than most films, but has it still withstood the test of time?

This weeks listeners question is "What are the best and worst TV to Film adaptations?

Trev is joined once again by Stan as they discuss the sequel to Paul Verhoven's ultra violent sci-fi thriller Robocop, Paul Verhove's Robocop 2, starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen and directed by Irvin Kershner. Detroit is still spiralling out of control, despite the shady OCP's back-handed methods of trying to take it over to pave the way for the construction of Delta City! When they decide to create a second Roocop programme, is using the king pin of the city's growing Nuke problem the best choice to man it? Seems like he is... for some reason!

A little later than planned and after a bit of a technical disaster we have managed to salvage quite a decent episode out of our STAR WARS DISCUSSION.

In this episode we rank the films as based on our own sensibilities, and discuss why we love star wars, and also why we hate star wars.

Lucasfilm or Disney? CGI or Practical Effects? Luke, Anakin or Rey? Let us know on facebook which side of the debate you fall.

Hi Y'all! (thats what our American cousins say, it means hello everyone!) Welcome back to another episode of the WN MOVIE TALK (formally known as the We Need To Talk About Movies Podcast) and this is one of those separate spin off episodes in which I, (Trev) rummage through my ever growing list of films that I own that I haven't watched yet, pick a few at random, then watch and review them.

What film will I choose in this episode? Well, I have three for you here,

The Sisters Brothers a modern Western starring Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Riley , Jake Gyllenhaal andRiz Ahmed

Lucky Number Slevin - a quirky Tarantinoesque crime thriller starring Ben Kingsley , Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman

Joined once again by his big brother Robin, Trev invites you to reflect on the past years movies in this review of the films of 2021... Part 1!

After the diabolical state of the cinema in 2020 - when Covid put a stop to everything, 2021 was a welcome return to some sort of cinematic normality. With massive films such as the New Bond ('No Time To Die',) and revisiting famous(Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Matrix Resurrections ) people slowly crept back into the cinemas, as well as streaming films almost immediately at home too.

In this episode we discuss the films mentioned above plus many others including Dune, Tick,Tick Boom!, Space Sweepers, A Quiet Place 2, Spencer, Free Guy, and many more titles released this past year!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, its been nearly a year since Nath and myself began this podcast, and nearly 40 episodes have aired. Usually, we chat for one and a half to two hours, and we try our best to whittle the chat down to about an hour. 

Sometimes this is easier than others, when we make so many mistakes, or when we go off on a tangent that slows the episode or does somewhat off topic, or when we are perhaps a little too off the wall, massive chunks of the episode can easily be plucked out! 

Very often these deleted scenes are too funny to completely erase, and so I never discard them. I have always rendered them, and popped them into a file and saved them up. Well, being end of the year, I thought that now would be as good a time as any to release them in this hilarious compilation 

I hope that you enjoy this selection of clips and that you continue to listen to our half-assed ramblings into the future. ll the best, Happy New Year and God Bless Us Everyone!

I absolutely love the festive season, a massive kid at heart, and so each year we watch the same Christmas Films, The Santa Clause, Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Elf.... etcetera ectetera...

However, there are always those older classic movies, synonymous with the Christmas season which I haven't watched yet... and so I thought I would choose four to watch and discuss for this festive special episode of the We Need To Talk About Movies Podcast! 

White Christmas (1954) (https://amzn.to/3J2FN7g) - Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye star in this musical in which two entertainers try to save the livelihood of their old general but hosting a masisve song and dance show at his quiet hotel! 

A Christmas Carol (1951) (https://amzn.to/3mbTCGQ)  and Scrooge (1971) (https://amzn.to/3qq9Z47)- two classic retellings of Dickens beloved Christmas tale, the former a dramatic version starring Alastair Sim,, the second a musical account with Albert Finney and Alec Guinness.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) - (https://amzn.to/3yByvTs) A man claiming to be Santa Clause is put on trial as he tries to win over a straight laced mother and her far too serious daughter.

Before Lord Of The Rings, which in my mind is the ultimate trilogy, Kiwi directorPeter Jacksonhad made some pretty raw and grotesque low budget movies, showcasing the  ingenuity of his film making talent, and creating some of the most extreme yet effective gore effects to splatter the celluloid! Three films that started a colossal and diverse career, yet three films that I Own But Haven't Watched Yet!

His debut Bad Taste (1987) (https://amzn.to/3doAWz1) - made with friends on weekends in his home town, see's aliens devouring humans, houses rocketing into space, fantastic gunfights and hilarious mad cap antics, all on a shoestring budget wowed audiences at Cannes and earned numerous distribution deals.

Meet The Feebles (1989) takes a 'What if' approch to the Muppets, as we see Hippos, Seals, Cats, Rabbits, and much more covorting, taking drugs, vomiting, binge eating and being as disgusting and promiscuous as you could dare to imagine.

And Brain Dead (1992) (aka Dead Alive in North America) a hilarious zombie movie which takes the genre up a notch and has been labelled as possibly the most goriest film ever.

Join me as I take a first look at these movies, and explore the relation of these early movies to the LOTR's movies that would some day follow!

After a bit of a respite, Nath and Trev are back with another classic movie viewed and discussed - James Cameron's underwater sci-fi spectacle The Abyss. 

Starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Michael Biehn, this ambitious movie was Cameron's follow up to his take on the alien franchise with Aliens, and predecessor to the awesome T2.

Its All Hollows Eve - or Halloween to you, so Nath and Trev have chosen the hilarious supernatural  mocumentary What We Do In The Shadows to watch and discuss - from writer director duo Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor Ragnarok) and Jemaine Clement (Flight of The Conchords) .

The film follows the everyday life of three vampires who flat share in New Zealand's city of Wellington, this comedy-horror film has made it up into Trev's favourite comedy films, and has also spawned a successful TV show.

I have been waiting for this most recent offering of the Dune Series more so than any other movie this year. Not that I am a massive Dune fan.. not at all... but I have always looked at the huge Frank Herbert novels and wondered what secrets and marvels this vast world holds.  And with effects where they are, and the incredible filmmaker Denis Villeneuve at the helm, I was pretty confident that at last here was my IN!

Having tried several times to enter the world through the David Lynch film, I have always failed to grasp the story and have lost the plot and therefore lost interest before the end. But I thought that now I would revisit the old and embrace the new and discuss here and now for anyone who is interested in hearing it.

It also made me aware of just how much George Lucas had borrowed from these classic novels to create his own space opera. and so briefly discuss everything star wars borrowed from Dune

Never in the history of We Need To Talk About Movies Podcast has Trev and Nath seen the same film in such a completely different light as this one.

Nath's choice this week is Bad Words, the 2013 comedy starring and directed by wholesome actor Jason Bateman as the offensive Guy Trilby,  a role that clearly is trying to stick another feather in his proverbial acting cap.

Trilby is a grown man who has found a loop hole in the National Spelling Bee competitions designed for intellectual children, and with a hidden agenda he exploits this in order to walk away with the prize money and degrade the stability of the competition.

Heh up! Its time for another 4 more titles from my list of  "Films I Own But I Haven't Watched Yet', selected at random, viewed for the first time and with my initial views on each movie straight after. This months titles are as follows....

Wonderland (2003) - https://amzn.to/3iSBnVt
Val Kilmer plays iconic 70's porn star John Holmes in this story depicting the gruesome Wonderland murders in which the star was associated. Also starring Kate Bosworth, Lisa Kudrow, Ted Levine and Eric Bogosian

Unforgiven (1992) - https://amzn.to/3a82cA1

After we get through a  bucket load of light-hearted listeners 80's film suggestions carried over from last weeks episode, the conversation turns dark as we explore this months bizarre film title, Bad Boy Bubby.

Incest, oppression, religious zealots, physical and mental abuse, childhood trauma, mental and physical handycaps - the Australians sure know how to make a comedy!

Bubby (Nicholas Hope) is a child in the body of a 35year old man - he has lived in a hovel with his mum for his entire life, never seeing the outside world, or any other living soul. Through her oppressive parenting, he has learnt nothing of value to life, has been her in house lover, and a toy to manipulate and control. But when his father turns up unexpectantly, a series of events will soon lead to Bubby's first steps into the real world. 

Fancy checking out the film yourself - here's a link - https://amzn.to/3DgjJ5M

What used to be viewed for a bit of laddish bravado among our friendship group as being one of those weird films you cannot un-see, undoubtedly Bad Boy Bubby got shelved...  for some 20 years may we add. It is difficult viewing and until we started this podcast we hadn't really considered re-watching it, but has this tale of tortured man-child Bubby let loose on society aged well, is it any good?

This week its time for another obscure or lesser known film - and we thought we would change the pace a little and instead of going for a completely random or even awful movie like we have in the past, we felt that this lesser known gem of a movie would be ideal viewing.

The hilarious and cringeworthy Nuts In May (1976) first screened on the BBC in the 70's as a part of their play for the day series and follows anally retentive control freak Keith Pratt (Sloman) and his timid wife Candice-Marie (Steadman) as they take a relaxing camping holiday in Dorset. But soon Keith's sanity is put to teh test by his fellow campers.

One of the early films from British filmmaker Mike Leigh, director of Secrets and Lies, Happy Go Lucky and Vera Drake, this has always stood out as a favourite in our household.

Its time for another film discussion, and this weeks episode of We Need To Talk About Movies Podcastwe need to talk about Ari Asters fairy-tale folk horror Midsommar (2019), which is Trev's choice and one he considers to be one of the best horror films released in recent years but will Nath be as comfortable watching it?

After the tragic death of her family, tormented Dani (Florence Pugh) tags along with her spineless boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friends Mark (Will Poulter), Josh (William Jackson-Harper) and Pelle (Villherm Blomgren) as they travel to Sweden for a ritualistic festival where it soon becomes clear that all is not what it seems.

This visual treat of a movie is a disturbing yet unconventional tale, unlike most horrors it is shot in glaring sunlight and amongst beautiful vibrant landscapes, likening it to the 1973 classic folk horror 'The Wicker Man'.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listener Alan Day chooses todays film for dicussion, and it happens to be one that is very close to Trev's heart too, the amazing Cult Comedy Musical The Blues Brothers - starring John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and directed by John Landis of American Werewolf in London and Trading Places fame. 

Lowlife blues coniseurs Jake and elwood Blues are on a mission from God as they attempt to raise the funds to save their orphanage by reuniting their estranged band and putting on the show to end all shows. 

An awesome ride of slapstick comedy, huge car chases and faultless blues and soul soundtrack by some of the biggest names in the genre - James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker and more.

Starring the baby faced siblings Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, as well as a plethora of other stars includingPatrick Swayze and Drew Barrymore, Richard Kelly's multi-layered movie is a modern classic, both dark and thoughtful, and light-hearted and playful.

Just as you thought it was safe to go back to the failing franchise of ever decreasing shark movies centred around the unfortunate Brody family, the producers at Universal Studios manage to come up with a completely ridiculous story which forever ties the family with the sharks. Yes, this time its personal, and joined by some kind of sixth sense telepathy, Ellen Brody and Bruce the shark go head to head in one of the worst movies ever made.

This week in We Need to Talk About Movies Podcast its Trev's choice, and  so We Need To Talk About writer / director Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 period drama Boogie Nights starring Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, JohnC. Riley, William H. Macy, Heather Graham and Don Cheadle.

Eddie Adam's (Wahlberg) is a young kid with a huge contribution to make in the adult film industry. When he meets producer Jack Horner (Reynolds) and porn actress Amber Waves (Moore) he recreates himself as Dirk Diggler - the biggest,  brightest porn star to feature in porn films.

This week Trev and Nath's  film discussion is yet another listeners film choice,  classic 80's thriller Talk Radio from director Oliver Stone and based on the play written and performed by Eric Bogosianand one that strikes a similar tone to our first film discussed Uncut Gems, in which Bogosianalso starred alongside Adam Sandler.

Controversial shock jock Barry Champlain (Eric Bogosian) lives to ruffle the feathers of the audience of his local Dallas radio show, with his antagonist opinion and aggressive manner.  But as he is offered the chance to broadcast nationally, his life begins to unravel, and the seething hatred from many of his listeners is ready to boil over.

Also starring Alec Baldwin, John C. McGinley Leslie Hop e and Ellen Greene

This months obscure film came earlier than originally planned after Nath and myself hooked up and decided that an impromptu rum and coke session would be the perfect time to record an episode of the podcast, and Quentin Dupieux's bizarre horror comedy movie Rubber(2010) would be the perfect viewing.

Watch it here - https://amzn.to/3ipRsSW

Rubber tells the story of Robert, a tyre with a taste for murder that wreaks havock in the desert in this stylish but completely weird meta-comedy-horror-fantasy film from the warped brain of Mr Oizo 

So this is the first episode ever to be recorded in person, as usually the recordings take place remotely, so we apologise for any differences in audio quality that may arise.

Nath and Trev Need to Talk About Joker(2019)in this weeks 'We Need To Talk About Movies Podcast'

This DC Comics (Detective Comics comics?) spin off from the popular Batman franchise takes a dark and creepy look at the Dark Knight's most revered foe, The Joker with what can only be described as a genius performance by leading an Joaquin Phoenix.

Directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover) and also starring Robert Deniro, Joker is a film that echoes the early work of his and Scorsese, not just because of the similarities between the films anti-hero, but also due to the setting in a Gotham not unlike Scorsese's New York City.

A long time before DC Comics and Warner Bros were making incredibly dull and absurd attempts to grow the DC Cinematic Universe with uninteresting characters, complicated plotlines in overlong movie spin off's... no.... hang on.... they were doing exactly that!

Join Nath and Trev for a hilarious discussion of this awful movie as they try to make sense of SUPERGIRL (1984) - https://amzn.to/3fyqUwO

In 1984, after the success of the ground-breaking Superman movies starring Christopher Reeves, producers The Salkind Brothers decided to make a gender shift to try and capitalise on the female gap in the superhero audience - but in director Jeannot Scwarc's Supergirl, their attempts only alienated their original audiences and degraded the franchise.

Nath chose tonight's film, Isle Of Dogs and it happens to be our first animation discussed, also our first Wes Anderson (yet our 3rd title to feature Scarlett Johansson).

Isle Of Dogs was Anderson's 2nd foray into animation after the Fantastic Mr Fox, and once again called upon his ever growing list of regular collaborators to voice the characters, such as Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Harvey Kietel, F Murray Abraham and Bob Balaban.

Wes Anderson has always been one of our favourite directors and so will possibly be a source of more conversation in following episodes, so if you are interested in watching more of his films then please, feel free to use the links found at the bottom of this page -

We just love talking films, and so this week we tried to do a structured chat about science fiction movies - initially aiming to do a top 10, but we both then went on a journey of ever increasing insanity as we tried to establish the seemingly limitless sub genre of  science fiction in cinema.

Warning - some language gets a little offensive

Some films mentioned in this podcast - The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Arrival, Downsizing, Moon, Interstellar, Mars Attacks, THX-1138, and of course the obligatory Star Wars mention (well, two kids of the 80's cannot talk about science-fiction and not mention Star Wars)  and many, many more

This week we discuss the hilarious historical black comedy The Death Of Stalin (2017) from writer director Armando Iannucci and starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, Paul Whitehouse, Jason Isaacs, Jeffrey Tambor and Simon Russell Beale (among others).

After evil dictator Joseph Stalin  (Adrain McLoughlin) dies, he leaves behind a power vacuum  that his closest allies are quick to fill. This absolute comedy gem highlights the race to the top between the vile sadist Beriya (Beale) and the seemingly hapless Khrushchev (Buscemi) with the skulduggery and backstabbing that only the creator of the Thick of It can do justice!

Future episodes will show a little more structure, and aim at specific topics or individual movies but we thought this would be a great place to start, for us to get a feel with the technology, whilst also letting you get to know us and our film tastes through a general film discussion. 

Mentioned in this episode is James Cameron and Ridley Scott (Do You Prefer Alien or Aliens), Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and did the prequels to both let them down? Could anyone other than Robert Downey Jr have played Iron man? Plus LOTS, LOTS MORE!

Enjoy, give us a 5 star rating and subscribe to keep up to date with the rest of this series!
