Christmas, Not Christmas Films

Miniature things, RIP Diane Keating and Delicious Fictional Food

Welcome back to Films With Benefits, the podcast where we imagine film festivals that don’t exist (but totally should). We’ve kicked off with three themes - Diane Keaton tributes, food on film, and most importantly, miniature things (finally!). Each episode, we program three mini-festivals around a single theme. First theme? Miniature things.

Films You'd Always Seen On A Shelf In A VHS Rental Shop, The Rainforest Is Dying And Steve Martin Films

Welcome back to “Films with… Benefits” with your favourite British Father/Wife duo, Marianne MacRae and Richard Hanrahan of Me3Comedy! Each week, Marianne and Richard curate three unique film seasons - from heartwarming classics to hidden gems, squirming through tangents like they’re going out of fashion. This week, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with “Films you’d always see on a shelf in a VHS rental Shop.” Remember spending ages picking a film you’d all watch that night? After that, we plunge ankle deep into “The Rainforest Is Dying” season, which my AI assisted copy insists we want to”shed light on the urgent need for environmental awareness and preservation”. And finally, we look at the comedic genius of Steve Martin in our attempt to curate the essential “Steve Martin Films”. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and join us as we curate imaginary film festivals none of us will ever be bothered enough to watch. With humour, charm, and a touch of nostalgia, we’ll take you on a cinematic journey you won’t want to miss. Lights, camera, banter—let’s ask the AI to regenerate this cringe copy!

Films with Benefits, Films with Lil' Pals and 6ix Word Titles

Told you we would be back! As promised, many moons ago, the internet’s favourite Father/Wife pair Marianne MacRae and Richard Hanrahan (aka Me3Comedy) have returned with a slightly reformatted podcast. No longer ‘Seasons’, we are now ‘Films with… Benefits’, much more searchable I’m sure you will agree. Each week, Marianne and Richard curate three unique film seasons in each episode - from heartwarming classics to hidden gems, all the way to Mrs Doubtfire, again… In this episode we discuss the charms of our namesake, “Films with Benefits”, and explain why we’ve changed our podcast name. Then, we discuss the cute adventures of “Films with Lil’ Pals,” and unpick this week’s community voted theme: “6ix Word Titles”. So grab a bag of popcorn and get ready as we dive into curating imaginary film festivals that no one will ever see! As our AI assisted copy suggests: Lights, camera, banter!

Christmas, Not Christmas Films

Our Christmas special! We dedicate our time to exploring the best not Christmas films to watch at Christmas, the quintessential experience that do not feature a tree or a santa or a mince pie. We also take some time to explore some AI generated alternative podcast titles, just to settle the mood PLEASE NOTE: This originally appeared under a different podcast feed as ‘Seasons’.

High School Movies with a Twist, and Pinocchio Films with various sub categories

Today we feature requests from a special guest, the immaculate comedian with a knowledge of film Chris Thorburn, adapted slightly and expanded. We go on for a while about high school movies and films that are kind of pinocchio vibed. Meaty! PLEASE NOTE: This originally appeared under a different podcast feed as ‘Seasons’.
