Sunday Mar 31, 2019
Sunday Mar 31, 2019
We all love a good movie night, but are any of us any good at it? It's time to find out!
On this week's episode, we pack in LOADS of movie night-related shenanigans. In Seggy 1, Olly quizzes Iain in "Snack or Not?" Can Iain determine whether these fangled products are prime for chomping during movie night, or totally inedible?
In LifeScores we smash through whats been going on in the last month - house moves, new cats and garden renovations. All very humdrum. But wait til you hear Iain's review of the Motley Crue movie "The Dirt"
In this week's 4X Deep Dive we hit you with some high calibre facts, tips and things to avoid for the perfect movie night, including on-site reports from an ACTUAL movie night with friend of the podcast Peter Cater. Can you avoid Iain's Seven Deadly Sins? (And did the guys avoid them on their own movie night?) Do you agree with Wiki-how's top tips? Well, it's time to find out as you join us in episode 103...

102 - Best Music Tracks from the Movies
Monday Mar 04, 2019
Monday Mar 04, 2019
This week we're exploring the best music tracks from the movies. Not all that lovely orchestral stuff, but pop tracks that have been selected to go into a film and have really... struck a chord....
Anyway, we kick things off with a movie music quiz. Iain takes on the challenge of identifying the song, artist and movie it was in from just the opening lines. How will you do?
As ever we have a LifeScores update and then follow up with our 4X Deep Dive on movie music. What will top Iain's top 5 tracks list? What will Olly bring up from the world of goth music? What are some of Iain's top SHITERS? It's all on here - so get listening!

101 - Detectives Hunting Serial Killers
Sunday Jan 27, 2019
Sunday Jan 27, 2019
Welcome to 2019 from the Guys on Film podcast. In this first episode of the year, Iain quizzes Olly on his Japanese movie knowledge after a New Year trip East. We get our Life Score update from Olly and Iain. Iain recounts the top movies he'd seen over the festive period and on an aeroplane and Olly commiserates himself for a poor pub quiz movie question performance. And in the Deep Dive this week, we discuss... hey, you guessed it Detectives Hunting Serial Killers (it's in the damn title). With morbid documentaries being all the rage on streaming services, we look at their movie counterparts and talk about the M.O., the patterns, the psychology and some of the techniques used by detectives to catch them. Along with a rundown of some of our favourites, including Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, Zodiac and a like for like comparison on Manhunter and Red Dragon. Try to enjoy it!

100 - 2019 Lookahead and 100th Episode Bonanza!
Sunday Dec 30, 2018
Sunday Dec 30, 2018
Alas, 2018 is on the way out and so is our first century of 'sodes. But what's on the way in is an episode so ram-packed with lookahead previews and Seggy 1 quizzing that Olly got audibly annoyed as we overran on time. One bang-up Christmas holiday editing job later and we have the episode you're likely already listening to.
In an expletive-heavy Seggy 1, Olly will ask Iain to honestly and openly choose a category for a variety of movie villians, in his logically titled quiz: "Twat, Dick, Prick, Wanker or 'Och, they're fine'". Play along at home OR on the move!
And then in our Deep Dive, prepare yourself for our rundown of the top films taking our fancy (or not) for 2019.
Try to enjoy!

99 - Alien Visitors
Sunday Nov 25, 2018
Sunday Nov 25, 2018
UFOs, close encounters, unknown aromas and of course; weird goings on inside Midlands-based residential garden sheds. What are we on about? Alien Visitors of course!
This week Iain and Olly open their investigations and start out by asking themselves "Do I want to believe?" and end around somewhere like "Will you please at least try to believe?"
In Seggy 1, Oliver quizzes Iain on the multi-part, (fictional) close encounter scale (apparently real, really) and Iain gives some baffling answers. Then in our Deep Dive, we ask what's the worst that could happen in an alien abduction as we assess Fire in the Sky, cover some (incredibly interesting) movie subway trivia as we mull over Quatermass and the Pit and also find time to chime in on other strange visitor classics such as E.T., Cocoon, Batteries Not Included and MORE.
You'd have to be lobotomised to miss it!

Sunday Oct 28, 2018
Sunday Oct 28, 2018
Our third Halloween as a podcast (wow!) and we're getting stuck right into slasher films in spooktacular fashion! First up, we regale the joys of Nicolas Cage's latest outing in our Seggy 1 Mandy review with a special appearance by Mandy. In our Deep Dive, we're chatting about what makes slashers so special. The inventive on-screen deaths, the outfits, the weapons and much more. We talk through a couple of our favourites each and then discuss the rules if you want to survive one, or if you want to don the scary mask yourself (don't try this at home). Finally Olly tries to get Iain to green light a couple slasher films of his own!

Sunday Sep 30, 2018
We're back, and this month we explore a bygone era of film-watching still close to many people's hearts, as we Deep Dive the subject of video rental! But first, Olly quizzes Iain in a Striving for Bronze (Going for Gold) on mystery movie snacks. We check in on our Lifescores, deliver our latest film reviews and find out what our favourite cakes and tea accompaniments are during our Intermission. And all that before we Deep Dive into video shops and VHS rental! We have a special interview with Andy Johnson of Liverpool video shop VideOdyssey who tells us why he opened a video shop in the digital age. And finally, Iain and Olly discuss the sights, sounds, smells and best tapes rented from their video shop memory lane discussion. You'll be rewinding and enjoying this 'sode, over and over and over.
