Ciara Moloney and Conor Hogan host Friday Film Showcased (FFS), a podcast about films seasons they have programmed.

From the archives, a bite-sized edition looking at Brian De Palma's American giallo Dressed to Kill. Or is it a giallo? Yes. Is it transphobic? Probably. Is it a great film? Definitely. What's Brian De Palma's deal? I guess we'll never know.

Whether you're a FFS connoisseur revisiting the hits, or a new listener who finds our full episodes too daunting, this one's for you. Put on your best clothes… to kill?

Friday Film Showcased (FFS) returns with part one of a two part special on adaptations of Kenneth Fearing's novel The Big Clock. We are doing this as a tribute to the late Gene Hackman, who is not in the movie discussed in this episode, but was alive when it came out. But was he a child? Listen and find out!

Ciara Moloney and Conor Hogan discuss topics including: Ray Milland (man), ray-millanding (verb), The Powerhouse Charles Laughton, queer coding and the Hays Code, clocks of various sizes and mechanisms, comedic genius Elsa Lancaster of Bride of Frankenstein fame, Maureen O'Sullivan who surely is only in this as a favour to her husband John Farrow (father of Tia, Mia, and this film, if directing is fatherhood), how much can you actually fit behind a bar, President McKinley, and the existential quest to find one's self. Literally!

Hey hey, we’re Friday Film Showcased, and people say we showcase around, but we’re too busy editing to load any podcasts up…

From the archives, a bite-sized edition looking at Bob Rafelson’s almost-forgotten existential Monkees movie, Head (1968), written by Jack Nicholson!

Whether you’re a FFS connoisseur revisiting the hits, or a new listener who finds our full episodes too daunting, this one’s for you. So take the last train to Clarksville, you randy Scouse git: this is the podcast that will make you believe in daydreams.

Fun fact: Mike Nesmith’s mother invented Tipp-Ex.

Following a hiatus, we at Spotify* are delighted to welcome Ciara and Conor back for season 2 of Friday Film Showcased. In this excellent episode, they set out their plans for the upcoming season.

Is this the first episode of the season they discuss? Is this the trailer/preview for said season? Though shorter than usual, we at Spotify* lean towards the former. Highly recommended. Five Stars.

David Lynch is dead, and the world is a darker place. Ciara and Dean pay tribute to one of their favourite directors by watching and discussing The Straight Story. They talk about mortality, its lack of resolution, and what it means to be "Lynchian".
