The Movie Journey

Episode 11! To everyone who thought we wouldn't get this far we say to you: 'You don't know what you're talking about'. Which makes perfect sense we are breaking down The Coen Brothers Best Picture Winner 'No Country For Old Men.' Journey along as we hear Dean call out Sheriff Bell on his claim to be humourous, Daniel learns the difference between a bolt gun and a shotgun, and we end up in an argument that can only be solved by you, the listeners.

 

We also see the results from our 'March Madness' Coen Brothers films tournament, and get into all the other films we've seen over the week, including Steven Spielberg's latest 'Ready Player One'.

As we head into out tenth episode, we delve into our first animated film, but not one you would think of straight away. It's the anime 'Your Name.', from director Makoto Shinkai that quickly became the highest grossing anime of all time. If you listened to our 'Top 10 Films of 2017' podcast you will know that we both ranked this quite high for the year (Maybe even the highest you could.)

 

But will our opinions stay the same after this re watch and breakdown? One thing is for sure, Daniel learnt some manners in properly addressing 'Miss Okudera', while Dean picked up a bit of the Japanese language along the way. We also sort out the results of our latest twitter poll, read some listener feedback, and chat about what other films we've seen recently. That and much more!

So what do you do when you haven't put out a podcast in a while? You unleash the biggest one you've done so far! That's right we're back at full capacity (well, sort of) to bring you our breakdown of the musical classic, Singin' In The Rain. We hear Dean's soothing rendition of the iconic song, Daniel learns different ways to say 'Premiere', and everyone has to put up with random bursts of coughing.

 

And if that isn't enough, we decide to do a giant movie dump on you listeners, and talk about the 48 movies we've seen between us since the last podcast.

And so we come to the 3rd year in our traditional 'Daniel V Dean' battle in the Academy Award Winners Draft. Can Dean finally break his losing streak, or will Daniel grab the Hat Trick? Rules are simple, we go back and forth snake draft style, drafting every nominee in every category for the 2018 Academy Awards. Whoever has the winner from each category gets a point. The winner of the bet gets to choose 3 films for the loser to watch over a 2 week period. Now since there are 24 categories and we would prefer not to have a tie (I mean, who would?) The Best Picture category is worth 2 points. Will that change their strategy? Find out on the podcast!

It only took us 7 episodes before we hit our first foreign film, and on this podcast we tackle the 2014 Argentinian film, Wild Tales. Being an anthology film, does that hinder it compared to a full length feature? We go through each of the 6 short stories, discussing their connective themes and giving our rankings of all 6. Dean gives us his alternative titles to each story, while Daniel learns what a cabin chief is.

 

We also discuss our favourite films that aren't in the top 250, and Daniel drops a surprise announcement on Dean, as well as bringing in a new segment. And as usual we talk about other films we've seen recently, including Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread, and the new Marvel sensation, Black Panther.

With a incredibly long movie, you need an incredibly long podcast, and that is what we have delivered today with our breakdown of the 1984 Sergio Leone classic, Once Upon A Time In America. You can hear the joy in Deans voice as he expresses his fondness for this film, Daniel talks about the complexities of Max, and we discuss the ambiguous ending in deep detail. We also have a huge backlog of films we've seen recently, including most of the Best Picture nominations for the Academy Award, as well as settling the bet from the last podcast. All this and more!

We're back! We both survived Christmas, New Years and even a milestone birthday, and we've come out the other side into the Golden Age of Cinema. Our first of many Hitchcock films, we ask the question: does this really deserves the greatest film of all time title it has received on some lists? Dean tries to get Daniel to get invested in a sequel, and can't stop talking about his love for Midge, while Daniel takes his love for colour to the next level. We also give a big update on the IMDb Top 250 list, and get into a jumbo size version of what else we've been watching, including a couple of Golden Globe winners. Finally, Daniel gets Dean to pay up on a bet.

We both love a good Nolan film, but can we breakdown arguably his most complex film? We also debate (well, argue...) about Cutter's motives, get tongue tied by overusing 'Bad Borden', and try and find every hint and clue that was shown to us along the way leading up to that crowd roaring conclusion. We also give another update on the IMDb Top 250 list, as well as talk about what else we've been watching, where Dean gives his non spoiler review of the new Star Wars film, The Last Jedi.

We also read out our listener reviews & discuss what else we've been watching, including a interesting discussion about the latest Christopher Nolan film, Dunkirk.

We also get a quick chat in about the DCEU, as Dean shares his thoughts on Justice League.
