In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Legendary actor and mental health advocate Glenn Close is on a quest to change how we think about mental health, starting with her decision to speak out about her own family's struggles — a brave choice considering the stigma that pervades the topic. This week, we're revisiting this sweeping conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, where Close shares the inspiration behind the advocacy group she founded to combat the crisis, underscoring the transformative power of community and the critical need for comprehensive mental health care systems.

×Mars Attacks! Of course a film like this was Daniel's choice. A dumb film...a fun enjoyable silly dumb film. Come listen to Andrew's amazing ACK ACK ACK alien impression! 29mins
Perhaps one of the oddest films we've done in years! Even Andrew thought it was a bit odd...Andrew! Pretentious doesn't even begin to describe this film. 32 mins

'It's bad but I didn't have a bad time' - Andrew Tonight, we spend more time than warranted on this wildly fun disaster movie. 40 mins
The Hobbit _ The Desolation of Smaug (Andrew doesn't like the lip flaps!) It's time for our regular christmas special! Continuing from last years first Hobbit film, we are facing the uphill struggle which is the second of the trilogy. Come listen to Daniel and Andrew ruin the christmas spirit by compaining for 30 minutes!…
Baahubali 2 _ The Conclusion Come listen to the exciting conclusion to this wildly interesting duology. Was the second part as great as the first? How do they resolve the amazing cliffhanger at the end of the first film? 37 mins

John Wick 3 A real hotly contested one today! Daniel, to his shock and everyone elses, did NOT enjoy the film! Listen as he tries to explain why this third John Wick movie is missing that sweet sweet John Wick magic he so enjoyed in 1 and 2. 43mins
A wild movie to mark out 200(!) episode of the podcast! Also a great episode to commemorate our new webpage which you can find at https://twofriendswatch.com Today's movie is fantasic and loved by both of us; it does have a couple of questionable scenes around the start though. 39 mins
The Pagemaster Come listen to Daniel and Andrew disagree on a considerable financial failure of a childhood film. 35 mins
Two episodes in two days! Whats going on?! Join Andrew and I as we praise this film and everything about it as though it was the new messiah 44 mins

Dune (2021) Not really much I can say here that will surprise anyone. We both absolutely loved this film to pieces. 38 mins Stay tuned for Dune part 2 very soon!

After a loooong hiatus, we are back with an old episode that's been kicking around the archives waiting to be edited and released. Well...here it is! This was (of course) Andrew's choice and Daniel...didn't like it to say the least. 46 mins
Dragon Inn (1967) Cleaning out the 2023 backlog we have a very unusual film suggested by Andrew. One of the early Wuxia films, they were clearly still finding their feet in many aspects. That aside it is a thoroughly enjoyable film if you are aware of its very rough edges. 34 mins
And we're back! After a short break of....too many months we are returning with a late 'Christmas' film. Continuing from completing the Lord of the Rings trilogy last year we are now staring The Hobbit. 42 mins

A real conflicting film today. Andrew absolutely loved it; while Daniel started the episode kind of liking it, but by the end clearly hated it. 45min (In hindsight, it was a good film but far to 'Artistic' for my liking - Daniel)
Dungeons and Dragons : Honour Among Thieves (Warning: Spoilers throughout with no forewarning) This week we enjoy a surprisingly new film. Although made for Daniel in its entirety, Andrew also enjoyed it. As it stands, it is unlikely to be kicking off a franchise any time soon unfortunately. 43 mins

Come listen to Daniel and Andrew discuss the many merits and detriments to today's film. With a star-studded cast, is Daniel a little too harsh? 43 mins
Come listen to an extended episode from Andrew, myself, and our guest host Dan; as we tackle the surprisingly deep 1995 “A Goofy Movie”. Dan is the proprietor of “The Goods Reviews” where you can find many wonderful insights into films old and new. He also hosts a podcast there too with his co-host Brian. https://thegoodsreviews.com/ https://thegoodsreviews.com/podcast/…
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, and Happy New Year to all! We return with our traditional Christmas special finishing off the incredible Lord of the Ring Trilogy with The Return of the King. Surprising nobody I'm sure, we both loved it! 51 mins
A film that was a hit for one of us and a miss for the other. A weaker film than expected, but it might depend on your expectations going in. 30 mins
A very unusual Western for today's episode. A fairly generic Western with horrible additions which makes it generally awful. 46mins
T
Two Friends Watch

By far one of the most convoluted films we have had to pick apart. A film known as "the one with the killer tire", has a surprisingly deep multi-layered plot which is hard to keep track of at times. We both really liked it though. 45mins
T
Two Friends Watch

In today's episode Andrew and I chat about the amusing Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito buddy film, Twins. A film that could clearly do with less tasteless backstory and more funny-pair hijinx. 32 mins
The Terminator Sometimes you just know a film isn't going to be for you. Nevertheless, Daniel went along for the ride and watched the Terminator (at last). He didn't like it. Andrew loved it of course. 43 mins

Symbol A wild, unpredictable, and absolutely crazy film. Listen as Andrew and Daniel try to put meaning and structure into the truly bizarre. We did love it though. 34 mins
T
Two Friends Watch

Though a touch off the source material overall a fairly ok film. This sort of film falls squarely in Daniel's Ballpark so he enjoyed it a lot. 37 mins
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf A Witcher cake with Castlevania icing and a healthy sprinkle of Avatar on top? Yes, I'll have two slices to go thank you very much! On today's episode we have a very special guest joining us, Caleb Wimble from the wonderful WOTCast. Please go and have a listen to their insightful look into Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. https://www.wotcast.net/…
Fantastic Planet A suprising gem for Daniel and a film Andrew has long wanted to watch, todays episode is the wonderfully odd French animation La Planète sauvage 36 mins Note: Due to nonsense with out publishing host this may appear twice in certain locations.

After a LONG break, Andrew and Daniel are back with a rather disappointing film to start. Daniel, hoping that this is a fun but dumb film is quick convinced by Andrew that this is unfortunately just a bad film. 32 mins

**SPECIAL EPISODE** The Fear Street Trilogy w/ Brennan Klein On today's episode we are joined by the amazing Brennan Klein to discuss all three films in the Fear Street trilogy. Each film pays a light homage to classic horror films such as Scream and Friday the 13th. 124 mins Come have a listen to our friends at, https://www.alternateending.com/…

Apollo 13 Come and have a listen as Daniel and Andrew discuss this fairly well aged film, starring the amazing Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise. 39 mins
T
Two Friends Watch

A real head-trip of a film that although rough around the edges left us with wanting more. Would it have made a better TV show? Probably. 46 mins
Bo Burnham - Inside A wonderfully odd film (?) which challenges a lot of social media practises and norms. Also the songs are funny. 42 mins
T

This week we look at one of Daniel's favourite films of the past decade! Although not perfect it's clear this film holds a firm place in both host's hearts. 46 mins

Today’s film follows 4 aging war vets as they search for their fallen comrade and some long-lost gold! A fantastic film portraying the harsh aftermath of the Vietnam War from the perspective of an African American. 48 mins long
Although perhaps a touch over-hyped by its dedicated fanbase, this is a wonderfully enchanting film which we cannot recommend highly enough. 44mins
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! If you manage to find time between feasting and festivities come and have a listen to our latest Christmas special episode! 59mins (We Wish You A Merry Christmas by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)…

On today's episode we look at the very well received Adam Sandler movie, Uncut Gems. A film depicting how addiction and some fairly poor decision making can lead to an awful situation. 43 mins NOTE: This episode is heavily edited due to several recording and technical issues. Sorry

Hey everyone! We have an exciting episode today; our first real guest is joining us to review this wonderful film. Rob from Alternate Ending helps us review a much-loved classic of Science Fiction. A huge thank you to Rob for joining us and please go have a look at their great show: https://www.alternateending.com/ 54 mins…
The Conjuring A film that neither of us liked but for significantly different reasons. Come and listen to our 2020 Halloween special! 36 mins

Two Friends Watch

The second viewing for both of us after several years, and to be honest we are still not fond of it. Come and listen to Daniel and Andrew try to pull apart both a messy production and a messy film. 54 mins
Andrew and Daniel talk about the brilliantly choreographed if extremely violent 2018 Indonesian action film. With a rather weak plot, if fierce martial arts with a focus on injury is not your thing, you might want to give this film a miss. 34 mins
T
Two Friends Watch

Even after watching this film together, both Andrew and I are still unsure if it really exists. A wild fever dream of a film that is as fun as it is terrible. Come and listen to us try to explain how obscurely wonderful this unknown film truly is. 43 mins
T
Two Friends Watch

It was hated when it came out and it is still hated now. Come and listen to us rip this film apart, trust us it deserves it 30mins
Todays review is on the critically acclaimed The Bridge on the River Kwai; a 1957 adventure war film that focuses nicely on the individual rather than the overall war. With a fantastic cast, crew, location, and story it is hard to find the faults in a film of this calibre. 43mins
As we start our long journey of Studio Ghibli films, our first pick is one of the most gentle in their repertoire. Listen as Daniel and Andrew wander around various topics and discuss the similarities between Kiki's Delivery Service and 2004 Spiderman 2. 34mins long

A short and off-track episode this week with the review of an early 80s Operatic film. While good and generally enjoyable we thought the medium of film detracted from the overall experience. 30 mins
In this weeks episode Andrew and I look at this 2019 Chinese sci-fi blockbuster. While the execution of this film was fairly poor we have to give them credit for really going all out in the ridiculous plot. 38 mins

CONTENT WARNING - This episode contains frank discussion of taboo subject matter, including sexualised violence and violence against children. In todays episode Andrew and Daniel review perhaps one of their most off-beat artsy film to date. While Andrew enjoyed it Daniel couldn't get over the 'contents' of the film. 34 mins…
We thought we would mix it up a little by going for a film that started a trilogy (so far) of amazing films. A well animated well made fun film that all can enjoy. 41 mins
"Orson Welles is da Bomb yo!", yes, you did read that right. Yes that is something that Andrew said. Why you ask? You'll need to listen to find out. 39 mins
Globally a very popular film; this episode Andrew and Daniel tackle what we loved, liked, and disliked about this blockbuster. 42mins

During this long Corna (covid-19) season we thought we would dig out our old podcasting kit and start a new batch of fresh episodes for you (yes I'm writing this while hungry). This week we are looking at the wonderfully fun, if not a little off-beat at times, Jojo Rabbit (46 mins)
This week's episode in which a radical shift in tone brings us an emotional legal drama about racism and potentially justifiable homicide. A quick disclaimer - Due to our recording schedule and backlog note that at the time of recording the controversy surrounding Kevin Spacey was not yet known to us, thus why it is never mentioned. 48 mins…
Another split opinion on this film. Is this film so bad that its become a wonderfully enjoyable film? Or, is it at best sort of OK but still not worth watching? It made lots of money and certain parts of the world seemed to really enjoy it. 27 mins
After several non-starts I've finally got this one edited and ready for listening. It contains a LOT of colourful language and two grumpy podcasters who hated almost every minute of this film. We will definitely be reviewing the much better 2014 version at some point (once we get through this backlog) 40 mins…
This week we look at this James Bond-esque film that decided to have fun and modernise some of the old tropes of the "end of the world" spy film. Our biggest problem was that despite the writers best efforts some of the traditional flaws of a Bond film still come through, particularly regarding women. 44 mins…
