  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Tony and Carl use Carrie Coon mentioning her husband's 10,000 strong bluray collection to discuss the ongoing rise of physical media once more, and inadvertantly kickstart a new section.

    Plus! Rolling Stone just released an article - 50 Terrible Movies by Great Directors - so we ask: are these directors all great? And are these movies all terrible?

    And finally, they both try and remain non-creepy as they talk lesbians, more specifically how 'sapphic cinema' is becoming much more fun...

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Tony and Carl talk Star Trek, and specifically how modern writers of the show are tackling societal change in comparison to older series. Have they gone too far?

    Plus! Every 5 years, the BBFC do a survey about what audiences are okay with in modern movies, and it suggests a snapshot of where Britain is as a culture. What does it reveal?

    And finally, Carl explains to a surprised Tony just how much The Sun newspaper in the UK has changed over time into a much more liberal proposition than it always seemed. Will Tony now need to buy one?

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Carl and Tony try and figure out why old TV shows, some going back decades, are doing way better than new content on streaming.

    Plus! Following a piece about the 'death' of prestige TV, they look at the fascinating subject of modern television and how the landscape has changed.

    And finally, with an important disclaimer by Carl included, they discuss the Kate Middleton photoshop controversy and what it means for how we process media these days.

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Carl and Tony tackle a piece reappreciating The Phantom Menace and wonder about tackling less beloved films with distance and how they might be reexamined.

    Plus! With teenagers no longer having seen The Matrix or even The Dark Knight, they discuss how films age and how the perception of them as iconic or memorable does.

    And finally, a couple of weeks late, but they look at 2024's Oscars, decide whether the awards given were fair, and consider highlights from the ceremony.

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Tony and Carl discuss how Gen Z seem to have turned books 'sexy', but why are they so obsessed with reading and is it performative or genuine?

    Plus! Amazon are being bastards with this new ad tier and an increasingly poor user experience, so they discuss the so-called 'enshittification' of the overall streaming world.

    And finally, speaking of bastards, David Zaslav is at it again, this time destroying a film entirely in Coyote vs Acme, but what does it suggest about the future of film production?

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Tony and Carl tackle the recent BAFTA Awards 2024, discussing the winners and some of the viral episodes around it - Barry Keoghan's 'prosthetics' and the random Oppenheimer winner on stage.

    Plus! Martin Scorsese has been railing a bit against so-called 'immersive cinema', 3D, 4DX and so on, so they ask whether these gimmicks really do add anything and their own experiences with them.

    And finally, after Greta Gerwig posits 10am and 4pm as the best times to watch a movie, they wonder just when the optimum time is and why...

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

    In this episode, Carl and Tony discuss a fascinating recent article by Ellen E. Jones calling for 'white cinema' to become a recognised term, citing filmmakers like Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola. They examine the argument.

    Plus! With copyright on major comic-book figures like Superman & Batman set to expire in the not too distant future, they consider a 2030s where we might have a franchise landscape filled with superhero Never Say Never Again's.

    And finally, following a recent list of 75 of the most iconic TV moments in history, they question why the list had to be so expressly American, and what else you could throw into that canon...

    In this episode, Carl and Tony discuss the major Oscar nominations of 2024, unpicking who should win, who might win, and if there's anything to the Barbie controversy.

    Plus! Thanks to a guest note from listener Sam Stokes, they pontificate over the cinema of 2023 and quite where the movie landscape is right now.

    And finally, after film writer Jamie Graham revealed he watched almost 1000 films last year, they question how many they watch and how many is too many...

    In this episode, Tony and Carl get into their first Bond Corner of 2024, here discussing the BFI's decision to put trigger warnings in front of old Bond movies. Woke tosh? Progressive historical engagement? Or somewhere in the middle? Your favourite centrist Dad's ponder...

    Plus! Kate Hudson wants more men to star in romcoms and we heartily agree, leading us to discuss why the romcom trend has faltered, why it should return, and whether Carl is any relation to recent romcom rising star Sydney Sweeney...

    In this episode, Tony and Carl talk about the biggest news story of the year - the British post office scandal, and the ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office that exposed it. What is the power of television to change our politics?

    Plus! Is British TV weird and unique enough anymore? We get into some modern and older examples as we come to a decision.

    And finally, with The Traitors back and again taking TV by storm, Tony attempts to talk Carl into watching this very expensive version of Wink Murder. Will Claudia Winkleman being severe in leather trousers be enough?

    Plus! Carl is back with some polls, this time of the voting intentions of British TV watchers and podcast listeners, and there are some surprises.

    And finally, after a social media discussion about 'filler' episodes of TV shows, they wonder whether we've lost something from a golden age of television...
