Les Miserables

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/04/06

It’s a bumper episode this week as we chat all things Les Miserables. Initially surprised by Brian’s choice, Sinéad swiftly realises it may have something to do with his penchant for Helena Bonham Carter. After watching the film, we wonder why all pub landlords seem to be cockneys, become concerned with Hugh Jackman’s accent during ‘what have I done’ and point out the clear dangers of swimming in excrement. We also gather further proof (if it be needed) that Brian’s moral compass has gone somewhat

To Sir With Love

2022/03/30

Sinéad chooses To Sir with Love for this episode and is more than delighted to spend 105 minutes with Sidney Poitier. Brian has flashbacks to school, turns into a Dickensian caricature and brags heartily about his scotch-egg making abilities. We learn that Sinéad's teaching style would be one of nurture, whilst Brian would favour discipline, with a side helping of flamboyance. (Finally, if Lulu's people are listening, get in touch about launching Lulu's potato salad. That product has

Rambo: First Blood

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/03/23

Brian takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane and causes concern with his overwhelming desire for a Rambo Knife (apparently the most wanted kids present of 1982). Sinéad challenges Usain Bolt to a race, Brian insists that he won Junior Kickstart and both believe that if someone had just bought Mr Rambo a coffee, a lot of this madness could have been avoided. (Kudos to Mr Stallone for that end scene though...and p.s - the Sly/Arnie film is Escape Plan, not Prison Break).

Return to Oz

2022/03/16

We are coming at ya from Spain for this Oz-tastic episode and Sinéad cannot contain her excitement. We feel all the emotions, discover the weirdness of Victoria Wood's Return to Oz song, get freaked out by stones and discuss a new business venture for Pret A Manger - the lunch pail tree. In conclusion, it seems Brian is morally bankrupt, but we both agree that this may indeed be the darkest Disney film ever made - please discuss.

Bloodsport

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/03/09

This episode we're high kicking our way through Bloodsport with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Brian fully regresses to childhood as we overdose on excessive montage and flashbacks. Whilst Sinéad worries about the poor cleaning standards of the Kumite tournament and struggles to convince Brian that Jean-Claude's love interest is called Janice.

Beast

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/03/02

Sparks fly in this episode as we head across to Jersey with the British psychological thriller Beast. Sinéad stands by her choice of film as we weave our way through the disturbing plot, argue about symbolic meanings, discuss whale jumpers and of course, name check TV classics, Bergerac and The Sweeney. The question is, can we agree on anything anymore? (p.s...Stay away from Brians glovebox and FACT - Bergerac drove a Triumph Roadster and notched up an impressive nine seasons).

Spirited Away

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/02/23

As we watch Spirited Away, Sinéad pops her Studio Ghibli cherry and Brian's brain becomes overwhelmed. We note similarities between Yubaba and Margaret Thatcher, expose Sinéad's irrational fear of animatronic dinosaurs and get flashbacks to the Bull and Bush pub in Richmond. (Anyone else remember having to practically swim to the toilets?)

A Star is Born

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/02/16

Sinead's off the deep end and has dived straight into her next film choice - A Star is Born (2018) There's highs, lows and facts galore. We wonder if Lady Gaga uses Imperial Leather or Matey bubble bath, Brian worries about everyone's jobs and Sinead is concerned for Gaga's ankles and bare feet. Ultimately though, will Brian be won over or is he in fact actually made of stone?

The Hateful Eight

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/02/09

The Hateful Eight is Brian's choice for episode four and (as usual) Tarantino causes quite the stir. Expect controversy, uncomfortable moments, great facial hair, and a lot of Hercule Poirot chat. We ponder the meaning of the word haberdashery and note Reservoir Dogs comparisons, whilst Brian struggles to say Channing Tatum and decides the film should be called The Hateful Eight and The Slightly Annoyed One. By the end of this epic, we're both just plain exhausted.

Dogfight

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/02/02

It’s episode three and Sinead believes she’s hit gold by introducing Brian to the film Dogfight. Expect adoration for River Phoenix and Lili Taylor, anger at the idea that thirty-two is old and excitement at the appearance of a young Dr Barry Farber. The overriding question though, is does Brian have a heart? His reaction to one scene would indicate maybe not.

The Rock

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/01/26

For this episode, Brian has chosen the testosterone filled Michael Bay flick, The Rock. Expect arguments over whether or not Nicolas Cage gets naked, concern over the foundations of Alcatraz and a lot of Ed Harris love coming from Brian. Do Cage and Connery win Sinead over or is it all too much of an A-Team/James Bond/Indiana Jones/Platoon mash up for her to take?

Fried Green Tomatoes

Reasons to dump you... ·

2022/01/19

We are kicking things off with Sinead's choice - the nineties classic, Fried Green Tomatoes. We discuss feminism, get confused with names and angry about bees. But will Brian end up screaming Towanda and claiming the secret's in the sauce?
