We’re on a mission from the Movie Gods. This is somewhat a more personal episode for us at The Movie Calendar.

What an incredible Director December we have so far at The Movie Calendar where we have sung the praises of one of cinemas most prolific film makers. Quentin Tarantino got to play with genres, for the making of KILL BILL, that you can tell he has nothing but the upmost respect for. His entry into the kung-fu world left a mark in cinema that is to be respected as much as it is to be celebrated. And that is what we are here to do. Listen along as we tie a bow on this celebratory month with...

The Movie Calendar never says “die”... except for when we are quoting THE GOONIES. This week we are taking a trip into the 1980’s with an adventure of epic proportions. With names like Donner, Spielberg, Columbus and Kennedy behind the camera it starts to make sense as to why this film is so full of wonder and excitement.  We talk about how perfectly cast this film is from the Goonies themselves to the villains of the story before getting to the regular segments of What About When and adding...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from our family to yours. In this episode we are adding our first John Hughes film to The Movie Calendar with PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES.

We are in the same room for the first time! The first rule of The Movie Calendar is; you should always talk about The Movie Calendar. This week we take a look into the masterfully put together and well ahead of its time FIGHT CLUB. With a pitch perfect cast and a script that is as funny as it is clever, the real rock-star on display is here the director. David Fincher shows off a stunning mastery of his craft by keeping a razor-edge balance between chaos and order on screen whilst hiding...

Who would’ve thought that a film about bank-robbing surfers being hunted by the FBI could have so many philosophical and spiritual motifs? Kathryn Bigelow did. This week we hit the beach and dive into the majestic world of POINT BREAK. This early 90’s action classic cemented Keanu Reeves as a star and introduced the world to Patrick Swayze’s bank-robbing, charismatic and philosophical Bodhi. This was a fun episode to research and record, there are a lot interesting stories about the making...

It’s finally here! For the last month and a half we have been enthusiastically preparing for this weeks episode of The Movie Calendar dedicated to Jordan Peele’s astonishing directorial debut GET OUT. This film is an absolutely worthy addition to The Movie Calendar as every time you watch it you’ll pickup on something that was missed on the last viewing. In the discussion this week we get into the minds of the characters, dissect the writing, shout out the foreshadowing and send the haters...

This week we head back to both outer space and the MCU with GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. James Gunn had quite the task of introducing the world to Marvel’s first foray into what space would look like going forward in what was to become the biggest film franchise of all time. We go into all of that as well as the characters, writing, music and some personal stories that illustrate some of the reasons as to why Leigh loves this film so much. Where will GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY end up on The Movie...

Who would’ve thought that the first properly divisive film to go onto The Movie Calendar was a Richard Curtis rom-com? Not us! Listen along as we discuss the long history of Richard Curtis’ career and how this film was quite the departure from his usual oeuvre, all through the lens of two very different perspectives. Which one of us thinks that ABOUT TIME is a modern classic and which one muses over its somewhat wasted potential? The answers lie before you. Where will ABOUT TIME end up on...

Terence is back this week to fly over to Isla Nublar and go on another film adventure! Apologies for the audio coming from Leigh’s side, he has just moved house and cannot find the adapter for his microphone. An appropriate electronics failure for the The Movie Calendar’s discussion of JURASSIC PARK. Hold onto your butts. This week we are so elated to be adding our first film from Steven Spielberg onto The Movie Calendar - JURASSIC PARK. Listen along as we discuss the importance of having...

A very special episode this week with an equally special guest. Terence is away so the responsibility of going on tangents and cracking dad jokes falls upon the shoulders of Leigh’s friend and roommate - Jenny. Having Jenny in front of the microphone for this episode turned out to be a blessing in disguise as she gives some incredible insights into some of the more culturally niche aspects of the film. So listen along as we dive into THE FAREWELL without a parachute and hope for a soft...
