Nobody Puts Movies In An Order

The Vietnam War of the 1970s was the first war to show real footage of terror on television. It's the war that shocked the World, which obviously intrigued legendary director Francis Ford Copolla as he created a movie about it only a matter of years later. Apocalypse Now met mixed reviews at opening (like it does with Verity and Shaun here), but has gone on to be hailed as one of the greatest movies of all-time. Establishing tropes that war movies still incorporate today, its impact is widespread. One noteable example is this year's Oscar-contending war movies of choice 1917 - released 40 years to the year after Copolla's movie - which works on a very similar level. But which do we prefer; which is better? And perhaps more importantly: how has cinema changed and evolved over the past 40 years?

In 1966, Planet Earth got to see the first ever set of photos from deep space, proving that our home is a sphere and making humans face their purpose in the Solar System for the first time. Three years later, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. But between these two events came Stanley Kubrick and his landmark cinematic event "2001: A Space Odyssey", a picture that would change cinema - and the World - forever. At the heart of the story is HAL9000, an early pre-cursor to artificial intelligence that we know to exist today. But as the story progresses, HAL becomes more than he initially seemed to be... This theme (of AI having a consience like you or I) has been explored in much media over the years, but the best recent example has to be Alex Garland's "Ex Machina". Today, we discuss them both.

Christopher Nolan turned the Batman franchise into serious awards fare with his Gotham trilogy 15 years ago, even helping helping Heath Ledger win a posthumous Oscar in 2009 for his performance as The Joker. But it was Todd Phillips in 2019 who managed to turn The Joker into something even more, with the serious potential for leading another actor to an Oscar for playing the villain: this time, Joaquin Phoenix. For many - especially Verity - Joker resonated, but for some - Shaun in particular - it did not. For Shaun, his pick of the year is Marriage Story, a tender tale of love and divorce, told beautifully by Noah Baumbach. Verity enjoyed this film too, so there's a heck of a lot to discuss in the first episode of 2020. Don't forget to stay to the end to hear Shaun and Verity's picks for their other favourite films of 2019. A massive thank you goes to Emma Thorpe, the composer and producer of all of our music.

When Verity gets severe tonsilitis over the Christmas period, what's Shaun meant to do? He ropes in his buddy Rukaya, of course! With Christmas under two weeks away, it's time to compare two of Shaun's festive favourites: Richard Curtis's "Love Actually" and Debbie Issit's "Nativity!" We aren't doing our normal scoring system this week, but we're still trying to figure out which is the better offering... which one will it be?
