Far From Ideal

The Perfect Christmas Film

For Christmas we put our money where our mouths are and design the perfect Christmas film. Complete with: Muppets, time travel, at least three different flavours of Santa and so much more. Yule love it.

Malcolm In The Middle

With the reboot on the horizon we revisit Malcolm in the Middle, the sitcom that quietly reinvented TV. Single-camera, progressive storytelling and characters that struggled against a real world with real problems.

Dungeons & Dragons - Featuring Michael Silver

After thousands of hours of campaigns, adaptations, video games and more Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves finally cracked it as a mainstream film offering that didn’t play like Jeremy Irons trapped in a nightmare about a PS2 generated dragon. Michael Silver joins us to delve into everything D&D in a tight half an hour where we still have time to detour into discussing: The Truman Show, Free Guy, The Witcher and Critical Role.

Horrody

This week we talk: horror, comedy, horror comedy and comedy horror. Which films get the balance right? How are the two genres actually very similar? And why are nice comedians like Jordan Peele, Zach Cregger and Kyle Mooney trying to scare us in the first place?

Tim Burton

.This week, we talk about all things Tim Burton: the art, the movies, and the man behind the macabre. From Beetlejuice to Big Fish, we dig into how Burton built an entire universe out of being an oddball and why his “weird” still hits decades later. Plus, Hannah’s thoughts on the Design Museum exhibit and whether his magic has faded or just evolved. #timburton #FilmAnalysis #MovieTalk #BurtonExhibition #Filmmaking #Cinematography #PopCulture #ArtAndFilm
