We’re on a mission from the Movie Gods. This is somewhat a more personal episode for us at The Movie Calendar. Watching THE BLUES BROTHERS brought back a lot of nostalgia for us both, so much so that Terence would like to dedicate this episode to his father. Thanks Dad.

Hello everyone and welcome back to The Movie Calendar!
We are swinging into the new year with one resolution only - to make Willam Dafoe, our Willam Dafriend. Don’t worry the jokes get much better in the actual episode (they don’t).

What an incredible Director December we have so far at The Movie Calendar where we have sung the praises of one of cinemas most prolific film makers.
Quentin Tarantino got to play with genres, for the making of KILL BILL, that you can tell he has nothing but the upmost respect for. His entry into the kung-fu world left a mark in cinema that is to be respected as much as it is to be celebrated. And that is what we are here to do.
Listen along as we tie a bow on this celebratory month with KILL BILL Vol. 2 and go through it chapter by chapter. We got a little carried away, but are very happy with this episode for you to enjoy.
Happy New Year!

Jules: “But you are aware of this invention called ‘podcasts’ and on this invention they tell stories, right?”
Vincent: “Yeah”
Jules: “Well you should check out The Movie Calendar as they are truly something!”
Thanks for the kind words Jules, we are excited to be sharing our thoughts on the adventures of you and your friends. This week we continue our Director December, focusing on Quentin Tarantino, with a film that has been proclaimed, by many, to be the greatest ever created - PULP FICTION.
We take a dive into the dialog, style/structure, chapters and characters during our celebration of this monumental piece of game-changing cinema.

The Movie Calendar never says “die”... except for when we are quoting THE GOONIES. This week we are taking a trip into the 1980’s with an adventure of epic proportions. With names like Donner, Spielberg, Columbus and Kennedy behind the camera it starts to make sense as to why this film is so full of wonder and excitement.
We talk about how perfectly cast this film is from the Goonies themselves to the villains of the story before getting to the regular segments of What About When and adding the film to The Movie Calendar.
Stick around until the end for an exciting December announcement! Or don’t, I’m not your boss.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from our family to yours.
In this episode we are adding our first John Hughes film to The Movie Calendar with PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. This 1987 classic holds a warm place in our hearts and we are elated to be able to share it with you.
We get into the characters and discuss whether we are a Del Griffith or a Neal Page, take a deep dive into John Hughes and his legacy as well as celebrate the performance of a lifetime from the irreplaceable John Candy. So pull up a chair, pass the turkey and listen along as we discuss one of the best odd-couple road films of all time. Enjoy.

We are in the same room for the first time!
The first rule of The Movie Calendar is; you should always talk about The Movie Calendar.
This week we take a look into the masterfully put together and well ahead of its time FIGHT CLUB. With a pitch perfect cast and a script that is as funny as it is clever, the real rock-star on display is here the director. David Fincher shows off a stunning mastery of his craft by keeping a razor-edge balance between chaos and order on screen whilst hiding one of the greatest narrative twists ever to unfold in cinema history.
Listen along as discuss the characters, writing, cinematography, direction and more. With a few tangents and laughs along the way.

Who would’ve thought that a film about bank-robbing surfers being hunted by the FBI could have so many philosophical and spiritual motifs? Kathryn Bigelow did.
This week we hit the beach and dive into the majestic world of POINT BREAK. This early 90’s action classic cemented Keanu Reeves as a star and introduced the world to Patrick Swayze’s bank-robbing, charismatic and philosophical Bodhi. This was a fun episode to research and record, there are a lot interesting stories about the making of this film that we discovered and discuss this week. We also share personal stories about some of the most memorable times in our lives regarding adrenaline fuelled moments.

It’s finally here!
For the last month and a half we have been enthusiastically preparing for this weeks episode of The Movie Calendar dedicated to Jordan Peele’s astonishing directorial debut GET OUT. This film is an absolutely worthy addition to The Movie Calendar as every time you watch it you’ll pickup on something that was missed on the last viewing.
In the discussion this week we get into the minds of the characters, dissect the writing, shout out the foreshadowing and send the haters into the sunken place.

This week we head back to both outer space and the MCU with GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. James Gunn had quite the task of introducing the world to Marvel’s first foray into what space would look like going forward in what was to become the biggest film franchise of all time. We go into all of that as well as the characters, writing, music and some personal stories that illustrate some of the reasons as to why Leigh loves this film so much.

Who would’ve thought that the first properly divisive film to go onto The Movie Calendar was a Richard Curtis rom-com? Not us!
Listen along as we discuss the long history of Richard Curtis’ career and how this film was quite the departure from his usual oeuvre, all through the lens of two very different perspectives. Which one of us thinks that ABOUT TIME is a modern classic and which one muses over its somewhat wasted potential? The answers lie before you.

Apologies for the audio coming from Leigh’s side, he has just moved house and cannot find the adapter for his microphone. An appropriate electronics failure for the The Movie Calendar’s discussion of JURASSIC PARK.
Hold onto your butts. This week we are so elated to be adding our first film from Steven Spielberg onto The Movie Calendar - JURASSIC PARK. Listen along as we discuss the importance of having well-developed characters in a monster movie, gush over John Williams (sorry for the singing) and rattle off some of our favourite quotes from the iconic film.

A very special episode this week with an equally special guest. Terence is away so the responsibility of going on tangents and cracking dad jokes falls upon the shoulders of Leigh’s friend and roommate - Jenny.
Having Jenny in front of the microphone for this episode turned out to be a blessing in disguise as she gives some incredible insights into some of the more culturally niche aspects of the film. So listen along as we dive into THE FAREWELL without a parachute and hope for a soft landing.
A massive thank you to Jenny for saving The Movie Calendar this week and bringing some incredible insights into this film.

Every now and then a film comes along that demands your attention with its ability to connect into what it means to be human. This week The Movie Calendar dives into a film that exemplifies this notion. Based off the play “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue”, MOONLIGHT tells the story of a young African-American man named Chiron who struggles with his identity and sexuality in a tough neighbourhood in Miami. His struggles and development are told during 3 important chapters in his life: childhood, adolescence, young adulthood.

Watch along as we discuss one of the most memorable thrillers in recent years. John Krasinski’s A QUIET PLACE is as much a family drama as it is a masterclass in suspense and horror. Full of so many “What About When” moments that we had to rapid fire our favourite ones towards the end.

We are happy to announce that we have NOT added any more expletives to THE DEPARTED. We’re just as shocked as you are.
This week sees The Movie Calendar fall on the year of the rat with Leigh and Terence going deep undercover to discuss Martin Scorsese’s crime/drama THE DEPARTED. With an all-star cast that rivals last week’s film, THE DEPARTED is a remake of the Chinese (Cantonese) film INFERNAL AFFAIRS (2002) and tells the story of two moles operating from within opposing sides of the law whose job is to find out who their counterpart is before being discovered themselves.
It’s only fitting that the longest film to appear on The Movie Calendar (thus far) gets the longest episode (again, thus far). Listen along as we discuss how the film brings out some of the best performances ever captured on celluloid, how well developed the script is and how well realised the characters with regards to the environment they’re in.
Where will THE DEPARTED end up on The Movie Calendar? You don’t have to go undercover to find out.

Once upon a time,
In the mysterious land of Queensland, Australia.
The Movie Calendar recorded a podcast.
A little ahead of the 10 year anniversary of Edgar Wright’s SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD we have decided that there is no better time to add the wonderful Action/Comedy to The Movie Calendar.
Level up this week with The Movie Calendar as we discuss one the most visually stunning and hilarious films to come out in the last 10 years with a cast that is as impressive as it is talented. We talk about how effective the visual effects are used in the storytelling as well as go into a few of the finer details about the 7 deadly exes.
Where will SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD end up on The Movie Calendar? You don’t have to punch a whole in the moon to find out. The answer lies before you.

When podcasting, no one can hear you scream... mostly because it gets edited out.
Episode 6 of The Movie Calendar bring us into a new genre once again with Ridley Scott’s sci-fi/horror classic - ALIEN.
To say that this movie changed filmmaking forever is an understatement of the highest order. Listen along as we go deep into the chest of the original theatrical cut (1979) - as well as the director’s cut (2003) - and come out on the other side with great stories and insights into the making of one of the most influential films ever made.
Where will ALIEN be placed onto The Movie Calendar? The answer lies deep within just waiting to burst out!

A little Haiku to start us off. Clears throat
Taika Waititi’s
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
On The Movie Cal...
And, er, that’s it for the Haiku portion of the description for this episode. Now onto the main event.
HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE follows the story of 13 year old Ricky Baker who has a chance at a new life with a new family out in the New Zealand wilderness with a loving foster family until tragedy strikes and he’s forced to go on the run with his gruff Uncle Hector.
As you’re about to find out this is a film that we both adore - a bit of a theme for this series - and we’re so excited to share our thoughts with you. So make some sausages, get your hot water bottle and come on a journey of discovery into Taika’s brilliant New Zealand comedy. It’s the most skux film on The Movie Calendar.

That’s right Wood-chuck-chuckers it’s GROUNDHOG DAY!
This week we try out a new format based off feedback from you in an attempt to shorten the podcast. Did it work? No. Will we keep trying? YES!
Listen along as we discuss one of cinemas most classic comedies in this story about a man who finds himself trapped in a small town and forced to live the same day over and over again. GROUNDHOG DAY is a simple premise executed perfectly, with so much humour and heart you cannot help but be transported into this world and think about what you would do if in the same situation.
No points for guessing where GROUNDHOG DAY fits onto The Movie Calendar. However be sure to stick around until the end to hear about the film that will be discussed next week.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Would you believe us if we said that we genuinely thought this episode was going to be drastically shorter than the last? No? Fair enough. I guess the parallels to The Lord of the Rings continue.
In this weeks episode we take our first journey into the world of Pixar and discuss a formative film for both us from two very different perspectives. INSIDE OUT tells the story of 11 year old Riley whose life gets turned upside down when her family moves from their small Upper Midwest town to San Francisco, all shown through the lens of the colourful characters that live inside her head - Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.
Where will INSIDE OUT appear on The Movie Calendar? Will tears be shed? Can Terence justify the comments he made in last weeks episode [Episode 1 - PARASITE]? Will we be able to stop asking rhetorical questions? All the answers lie before you.

THE BEGINNING It feels like we’re Sam and Frodo about to leave The Shire with the One Ring; unaware of the epic adventure that’s in front of us and completely unqualified for the forthcoming journey. However, as long as we stick together, even the fiery pit of Mount Doom doesn’t seem all that daunting. In this inaugural episode of The Movie Calendar we have decided to take on the gargantuan task of talking about Bong Joon Ho’s multiple award winning film PARASITE. Listen along as we break down the film, and its techniques, whilst generally just gush over the incredible piece of cinema that it is and its importance. Where will PARASITE end up on The Movie Calendar? Join our Fellowship and embark on this journey with us to find out.
