  • Nyad: our most divisive film yet

    Nyad: our most divisive film yet
    May 1 2024

    For two of us, this film was deeply inspiring. For one of us, this film was simply not it. Nyad is a 2023 American biographical sports drama about swimmer Diana Nyad’s attempts to swim from Cuba to Florida, starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster. In this episode we address the controversy of the athlete’s cheating and conclude that people need to GET A LIFE. We give serious props to the filmmakers who are legends in the world of sports documentary. But despite their credentials, we question some of their filmmaking choices. Is it too cheesy? Letterboxd hate it, Rotten Tomatoes love it. We’re the same - it’s a hung jury.

  • Challengers: Live Podcast at Everyman Cinema

    Challengers: Live Podcast at Everyman Cinema
    Apr 25 2024

    We visited you lovely lot in Everyman Bristol to watch the sweatiest film of recent years- Challengers (2024)- and record a live podcast with you all. We discuss love triangles, obsession, competition, painfully obvious branding in films, CGI tennis balls in your face, the power of Zendaya’s onscreen presence and the thrilling score. We have a group discussion with our gorgeous audience on who is “the bad guy” and if there was actually any love at all in this “love triangle” film?


    Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, Challengers is the high-stakes love triangle tennis drama from Luca Guadagnino.

    Thanks to the Everyman cinema for hosting us.

  • May December: A film that gave us a morality crisis

    May December: A film that gave us a morality crisis
    Apr 24 2024

    Never have we done such a 180 whilst recording an episode. Directed by Todd Haynes, we agreed May December is a gripping and technically brilliant film. By the end of the episode, we question whether we should like it so much. The film is inspired by real scandalous events and based off of real victimized people, so does Hollywood really have the right to tell this story? We discuss the DRAMA Todd Haynes brings - the music, those zooms and the sensationalized American-ness of it all. And we get Maisie's perspective on preparing to play real life characters. This episode has been a journey, we hope you enjoy <3


    May December (2023) stars Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore and Charles Melton.

One of the Best Podcasts

I rate this podcast 6 stars, its fun to listen to, authentic, humorous, educational and the hosts have a great camaraderie. Without the FFC I would have missed out on these excellent and enjoyable films. I can also share my film perspectives via the FFC email and instagram (including with my favorite actress/entrepreneur MW!) I look forward to every podcast just like GOT. So great, thanks for creating this.
