Oh, 7 Ep 17 - Encounters at the End of the World (ft Sad Penguin)

Oh, 7 Ep 19 - Charlie Wilson's War (and Iran because obviously)

As the war/not a war with Iran does/doesn't trundle on, we look at Charlie Wilson's War, a film about a much less direct but just as impactful age-of-stupid era excursion into the Region courtesy of another womanising politician. Sound familiar? Then buckle up as we let history run roughshod over this historically iffy biopic into US foreign policy in the 80s (it was bad).

Oh, 7 Ep 18 - The Darjeeling Limited (Tea spilled?)

Given how excellent some of Anderson's more recent films have been, it's hard to love this one, but we smashed the like button for it over its trademark quirk, treatment of family dynamics and lofty production ambitions.

Oh, 7 Ep 17 - Encounters at the End of the World (ft Sad Penguin)

With the current US administration throwing renewed focus on that penguin, we get into Werner Herzog's quintessentially Herzogian doco Encounters at the End of the World, 2007's best documentary that isn't Man on Wire.

Oh, 7 Ep 16 - Zodiac (fricking finally)

Lucy and I get into Zodiac, David Fincher's finest (arguably) crime thriller. In a culture of exploitative media and the death drive towards celebrity, Zodiac feels worryingly at home in 2026.

We talk about male loneliness and incels and for some reasons, the Stranger Things verdict while revisting LATG, a movie that further cemented what we now casually dubbed the Ryanocracy.  Recommends and refs The Iron Snail Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@TheIronSnail] Rental Family trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0pqP6ClcE8] Reel Disorders (video essay) [https://youtu.be/uKA-p6yXCNg?si=lVxol7JFPEvVPftm] Making Lars and the Real Girl into a horror film  [https://youtu.be/7RyS9oG7nb8?si=zyczRsaFEOKXBuiw] What HER and LARS AND THE REAL GIRL teach us about relationships [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXEP2bdEoHM] WHAT RISKING YOUR CAREER LOOKS LIKE [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfJO7e6g6fw] CAN THEY KNIT: LARS AND THE REAL GIRL [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/C5xVhOE-hmU] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523089/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/oh7podcast] Do all the things (or none) Catch the pod here iTunes / Apple podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1829163376] Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/3Nhdmz2TrYgDbwqEBIzKC8] (a)RSS Isnicker) [https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2523089.rss] Come and talk to us on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/oh7pod.bsky.social] Clips and things on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@Oh7Pod] Instagram?
