  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.
    In this episode, Tony and Carl are posed a question by friend of show, Raquel Stecher, regarding strange fake quotes from long dead, legendary film critics for Francis Ford Coppola's upcoming Megalopolis. What the dickens is happening here?
    Plus! Everyone is going nuts about the reunion of Oasis, but are we? Ticket madness, musical nostalgia and perhaps just plain middle-aged reverie is to blame, but is there more to it?
    Finally, did we have a brat summer? And are we very mindful, very demure? Listen and find out!

    In this episode, Tony and Carl explore why disgraced BBC newsreader Huw Edwards is being erased from TV shows and movies, and discuss the wider trend of editing problematic people out of order content.
    Plus! Tony has finally abandoned the horror show that is X, which warrants some explanation. Should we all being doing it? Or is he holier than thou?
    Finally, raw dogging might sound a naughty pursuit, but it concerns a trend on flights that is ever growing and rather bizarre. We explore it and wonder if we could survive...

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.
    In this episode, Carl and Tony chat about Kevin Costner's Horizon: Chapter One, his Western saga, quite why it failed at the box office, and whether it represents 'real' cinema.
    Plus! Emma Roberts is not happy we (well, not just us) are mocking films like Madame Web, claiming internet culture is one big pile on. Does she have a point? Or should we be extracting the Michael out of some films?
    Finally, after a Sight & Sound piece on 21st century cinema so far, we discuss the list and ponder quite what the prevailing winds of modern cinema are...

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.
    In this episode, Carl and Tony ponder the state of the cinematic box office in relation to prequels, especially after the failure of Furiosa: A Mad Max Story. Does it factor into wider trends about where the cinema experience is going wrong?

    And finally, 90s-era lads mag Loaded is being reborn for a new, middle-aged man audience. Do Carl and Tony fit the demographic? And if so, will they buy a copy?

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.
    In this episode, Tony and Carl discuss a recent piece suggesting Doctor Who is so diverse it has never been for 'straight white men'. As two straight white men, they question the true inclusivity of this statement.
    Plus! Why does nobody smoke anymore on TV and film? They ponder why this paean to progressive health might be doing a disservice to art.
    And finally, as both The Fall Guy and now Furiosa tank at cinemas, they wonder exactly what movie audiences want these days, and how changing attitudes to movie watching might be influencing that...

    In this episode, Tony and Carl react to news Britain is getting a General Election (finally!) in July, discussing how the media might react.
    Plus! Netflix's Baby Reindeer took the country by storm but the real world fallout is ethically questionable at best. We unpack the reasons.
    And finally, we wonder what Apple are smoking with a recent tone deaf ad. Are they at last leaning into the reality that they are the very monolith they began taking on?

    In this episode, Carl and Tony tackle the thorny issue of children and media access - kids accessing smartphones is on the rise, but is it a good or bad thing?
    Plus! Older actors should be celebrated, according to a recent piece, so we think about the aged Hollywood and British legends still going, and ponder what might have been for some had they carried on.
    And finally, there are some TV shows from recent decades, including Chris Carter's Millennium, that have never hit streaming services. Why? And is this likely ever to change?
