    Tomorrow Never Dies

    25/02/2026 | 1h 22 mins.
    Tomorrow Never Dies was Pierce Brosnan's second outing as British secret agent James Bond. While not quite as warmly received as GoldenEye, it's been more recently hailed as ahead of its time. Is it somehow underrated or does it end up being a sophomore slump? Guest Peter Baldeo joins as we try to delivery tomorrow's news today.

    Rio Bravo

    20/02/2026 | 1h 23 mins.
    Like him or not, John Wayne is an American icon. It's high time we covered one of his films and Rio Bravo seemed like a great place to start. Dismissed as just another Howard Hawks Western upon release, over the decades it's become a beloved classic. First time guest and podcast extraordinaire Cam Sully joins for some Duke talk.

    Big Trouble in Little China

    16/02/2026 | 1h 17 mins.
    Few films have experienced reputational turnaronds like John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. Now a beloved classic, it was equally ignored by critics and audiences upon its release in 1986. Why did it bomb so badly? Could it be remade now? An absurdly fun movie was the right choice for our Season Ten premiere!
