Shoot the DVD Player - Sterne

Happy new year! Here, have a podcast. First in a series of school holidayepisodes recorded with a teenager in the next room, shaking her head at the idiot adults and their funny little internet radio show. This week:Starred Up (2013, David McKenzie)Shit goesdown- and on at least one character's forehead - in this grim, gripping British prison drama.The Vanishing (1988, George Sluizer)A woman disappears while shopping at a highway service station. Man, prices at those places can be deadly, amirite

It's Christmas, or at least it was, but let's not talk about that. This week's fillums:The Wind Rises (2014, Hayao Miyazaki)Miyazaki's final (or is it?) film. This one's about planes, this time with human, rather than porcine, pilots. Not as potentially delicious, but we're not here for the eats.The Young Poisoner's Handbook (1995, Benjamin Ross)The protagonist of this film - based on a real life mur-diddly-urdler - is named Graham Young, which I guess makes the title a pun. Only took me 20 years

The podcast world is in a spin about the final episode of Serial, but those of us who don't have insane speculative subreddits devoted to us - yet - have to push on, too. This week:Locke (2013, Stephen Knight)85 minutes trapped in a car with Tom Hardy could get weird, especially if he's wearing the Bane mask. Fortunately, in Locke he's wearing a Tom Hardy mask, and very convincing it is too.Stranger By the Lake (2013, Alain Guiraudie)The peen flows thick and fastin this French psychological

We're back like Backstreet, and you better believe we are sex-U-al, not that it's any of your business. This week's fillums:The Trip to Italy (2014, Michael Winterbottom)Whenthe words"improvised hilarity" are uttered, intelligent people tend tothink first of our humble podcast. However, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are pretty good at it too. IsThe Trip to Italya rave to rival a week of venereal disease-tradingon Fairstar the Funship c. 1985? Or is it more like Robert Louis Stevenson'sTravels With a

Angus Sampson swallows condoms full of heroin, David Stratton trades fluids with various notable directors, and Tim has a thing for Hugo Weaving’s cane. Our second episode is film criticism at its peak something-or-other.The Mule (2014, Tony Mahony, Angus Sampson)We swallow our pride, among other things, to review this new Australian black comedy. The gags make Anna gag, while Tim questions the distinctiveness of Hugo Weaving’s moustache. In the end, everybody enjoys a nice dump. (Not recorded.)A

Our first episode! They said we'd never make it, or they might have had they known we were doing it. They! What a bunch of negative tossers.Anyway, here we are. Forty-five-odd minutes of Anna and me yakking about movies, plus some musical interludes to give you brief respite from us yakking about movies. We hope you enjoy our maiden effort. Comments are of course welcome, and you can find us on twitter @timsterne and @ARPy_.[02:24] The Babadook (2014)Jennifer Kent's domestic monster movie has Tim
