A companion to last week's episode - Paul and Jon take a look at movies from 1987, which Jon has long-believed to be one of the best ever years for classic cinema.

Paul and Jon cover Slumdog Millionaire and Yes Man, being in the unusual position of both of them having seen both movies in the same week. Also, Paul berates Jon for editing last week's episode in such a way as to cover the tracks of a mistake Jon made (I still maintain no-one will have noticed), and they have a live studio audience of 1 person, plus a scary cat staring in at them through the window. Now-regular features include "this week in movie history" and "desert island flicks".

Episode 9 and a Half Weeks

podcast@moviebanter.co.uk (Paul Kerensa & Jon Sandys) — Thu, 8 Jan 2009 03:00:00 +0000

This week Paul covers Australia (the film, not the entire country), Jon covers The Spirit, and leaves slightly more confused than before he saw it, and they both review The Reader, which doesn't warrant a flippant addition because it's a serious film. "Desert Island Flicks" asks for their favourite black and white movie, producing an unexpected choice on both counts, and Paul hopes he hasn't caused the death of someone he knows by mistake. Or deliberately, come to think of it.

Jon realises the only way to enjoy Four Christmases is to essentially pretend you're watching a different film, and suffers through Failure to Launch specifically so he can bemoan its many failings. Paul goes the highbrow route with The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and finds a much better Christmas movie in the classic White Christmas. Also up for debate are special effects in older movies, films on TV over Christmas, and more.
