    Vol 8, Episode 9: The Frisco Kid

    It's 1979 and Gene Wilder stars as a naïve rabbi bumbling his way across the Wild West. Co-starring Harrison Ford as a friendly cowboy, whose presence on the marketing got a lot bigger following a certain sci-fi movie in a galaxy far, far away.

    Vol 8, Episode 8: Ricochet

    It's 1991 and Denzel Washington stars as the protagonist of this energetic crime thriller, with an air of infallibility and a pistol secreted in the strangest of places. As is traditional, we also enjoy John Lithgow's performance as the madcap antagonist, for whom no piece of scenery is left unchewed.

    A Very Special Crombies: The Odyssey

    A face... a fleet... a war... a man... a podcast. Once again, Sir Christopher Nolan has produced a film of such spectacle and acclaim that it has compelled our hosts - the Scylla of insight and the Charybdis of low humour - to share their thoughts about it.

    Vol 8, Episode 7: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.

    It's 1953 and Dr. Seuss writes the tale of a young lad who dreams about escaping the fortress of his tyrannical piano teacher, Dr. Terwilliker. This 'debaculous fiasco' crashed at the box office, gained a cult following, and gave our hosts something to chew over.

    Vol 8, Episode 6: State of Grace

    It's 1990 and this tale of New York mobsters has a full cast of Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright, Ed Harris, John Turturro, and John C. Reilly. As long as no other studio simultaneously releases a stone-cold classic gangster movie about good fellas, the box office should do well.

    Vol 8, Episode 5: The Legend of Billie Jean

    It's 1985 and Matthew Robbins has taken a break from dragons to direct this teen rebellion movie with Helen Slater, Christian Slater and Helen Slater's pixie cut. This being the 1980s, a chase scene in a shopping mall with Billy Idol on the soundtrack is mandatory.

    Vol 8, Episode 3: The Straight Story

    This 1999 David Lynch film has Richard Farnsworth as Alvin Straight, telling the true story of his epic journey on the back of a lawnmower. Not what we would have expected from a David Lynch movie, and certainly gives new meaning to the phrase, 'drive safely, deer'.
