Shite & Sound

Finn Nicolas & Uther Dean

Podcasts about bad movies? What is this the 90s? Podcasts about good movies? Passé! Shite & Sound is the only podcast brave enough to talk about a good movie and a bad movie, at the same time. Each week, comedians and film buffs Finn Nicolas and Uther Dean watch and review two films, one critically beloved, the other critically reviled, and they try to work out whether these movies are Shite or Sound. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Shite & Sound, it’s our 50th episode!

Touch of Evil (1958) & Casino Royale (1967)

Shite & Sound ·

2021/06/17

Finn & Uther watch two very different Orson Welles films: Touch of Evil (1958) is one of Welle’s finest moments as an actor and director, a stylish and captivating noir, and, Casino Royale (1967) is the nadir of British, Swinging Sixties madcap comedies, a movie with 10 writers and five directors, and no well written or directed scenes. We talk a whole lot about Orson Welles, whether or not Touch of Evil is racist, and why he’s never in the same shot as his co-stars in Casino Royale. Uther

Sherlock Jr. (1924) & Holmes and Watson (2018)

2021/06/10

Finn and Uther watch two anarchic, fourth wall breaking takes on the character of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Jr. (1924) is Buster Keaton’s classic crime-comedy-action-romance that combines incredible jokes with the wildest action beats of the silent era. Holmes and Watson (2018) is 90 minutes of Britain and America’s finest comedic and dramatic talents failing to find anything comedic or dramatic to do.Keaton vs. Chaplin. Is it fundamentally wrong for a film to be based around dreams? Which members

Barry Lyndon (1975) & The Great Gatsby (2013)

2021/06/03

Finn & Uther watch Barry Lyndon (1975), Kubrick's timeless and beautiful period piece on how the rich are terrible, and The Great Gatsby (2013) from Baz Luhrman, a film that's also like that but in a slightly cringe way. Topics covered include: Explosure. Finn "faked" the moon landings. All the great gags in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The best square men. James Gunn is put on trial. Uther gets confessional, once sincerely, once about his Wolverine claws. Absolutely the most batshit Letterboxd review
