  • 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.

  • The Iron Claw: the crazy truth, the shattered masculinity and the triumph of Zac Efron

    The Iron Claw: the crazy truth, the shattered masculinity and the triumph of Zac Efron
    Apr 17 2024

    We buckled ourselves down for a film about shattered masculinity (one of Han's favourite genres) and came away wholly impressed, but conflicted. Why didn't it make most of us cry? What was missing? How can one family have so much tragedy? How did we find ourselves scrutinising male actors' bodies? The double standards! Plus, we discuss the lack of awards recognition and whether actually, that kind of makes sense? There are a lot of questions, but one thing that is UNquestionable, is that this is Zac Efron's career best.


    Written and directed by Sean Durkin. Starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Lily James and Stanley Simons.

  • Mean Girls: The OG vs the musical

    Mean Girls: The OG vs the musical
    Apr 10 2024

    On Wednesdays, we wear pink drop episodes.


    This week we delve into the MGU (the Mean Girls Universe), and discuss the recent Mean Girls musical adaptation alongside the original. Who else knew Tina Fey’s screenplay is based off a single chapter in a self-help book? We discuss the phenomenal impact of the original film and our first-time viewing experiences. For us, we agree it was the first time we saw girls being truly hilarious on screen. But we question the relatability of the film and the fact that it’s aged terribly. (That cafeteria scene?!?) Tune in to find out what we think the musical DID get right.


    Mean Girls (2024) stars Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Angourie Rice as lady Heron and was directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr.

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.
