Depictions of Danger & Desperation: A House of Dynamite, Relay, Drop and The Lost Bus

In this episode, Depictions of Danger & Desperation, Tim and Amber dive into a line-up of films where everything can — and absolutely does — go wrong.

We start with Kathryn Bigelow’s explosive thriller A House of Dynamite, move into the cool tension of Relay, and then switch gears for the desperation-filled Drop. We also revisit the real-life terror behind The Lost Bus, a survival story that never loosens its grip.

But it wouldn’t be a week in Hollywood without a corporate cliff-hanger: we break down the latest Warner Bros. merger rumours and what a takeover bid could mean for streaming, cinema releases, and the industry’s already-shaky future.

Expect our usual mix of sharp takes, film-lover chaos, and the kind of grounded insight only a married pair of cinephiles can provide.
