Chris and Ian discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' new movie (already! Talk about prolific), Kinds Of Kindness. This was a fun discussion because how do you dissect something so inevitably strange and fundamentally twisted and skewed? Great fun and despite some obvious flaws, this comes highly recommended if you're a fan of this filmmaker and if you think you can stomach it!

As part of Phoenix Cinema's 'Once More With Ealing' Film season.

Chris and Ian are once again joined by special guest Mitch Perrin to discuss this British comedy classic that celebrates community and fortitude amongst the wreckage of post-war Britain. This is a special one. Join us for a trip back to England in 1949!

Chris and Ian welcome special guest Mitchell Perrin, cinematographer, onto the podcast to discuss his career trajectory and what it's like to be behind the camera across all types of projects in all types of roles.

Look out for Ash Woman, the short film directed by Ian and for which Mitch was the director of photography!

Chris and Ian discuss the latest movie featuring the always compelling Anthony Hopkins and whether the movie is completely successful in its attempt to grapple with 'The Question Of God' in its fictional meeting between Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis. Appealing stuff right here...

Chris and Nathaniel discuss this strange Italian experiment of a movie, its gorgeous aesthetics and its profound impact if you can dig underneath its many subtextual and metaphysical layers. Take a trip into Phoenix's tomb with us as we unwrap this stolen artifact of a movie.

Chris and Ian discuss Luca Guadagnino's new steamy tennis movie and for once find themselves on opposite sides of the court taking lobs, shots and backhands to each other. Okay, it's not that dramatic but we couldn't resist using tennis terminology here...

Chris, Ian and Zalan talk through the joy of Wim Wenders' latest film and how the whole idea started with observing the construction of public toilets in Tokyo! Uplifting and moving, join us as we delight in a movie that is all about appreciating the life you have built for yourself and the wonders of human connection.

Join us as we chat to Zalan Pall, manager of the Phoenix Cinema. We discuss Zalan's beginnings as a movie-lover from Transylvania to working through the UK cinema distribution chain to manager of one of London's oldest continuously-running cinemas.

Let's celebrate independent cinema together.
