It’s the other asteroid picture of 1998, and a host of actors cannot save Johnny’s boredom. Andrew details a notable incident of deep impact that the doc Zoo was based around and the two talk Black Bag, The Last Breath, In The Lost Lands, The Alto Knights, Snow White and Kraven The Hunter. Plus Andrew finally saw Wicked, was he a convert?

305 - Deep Impact

Remember 2007? When Hollywood wanted to state they didn’t like what was happening, but also didn’t want to upset the concept of democracy that led to here because America rah rah even if erm-ooh-eck? Well, of course not, nobody could remember, it was a rough time for art. So we’re watching a series of actors-in-rooms-talking-tediously-about-not-much.
Here’s the carrot - Johnny watched A Minecraft Movie and Death Of A Unicorn, and the two discuss Jason Statham in A Working Man, plus The Naked Gun teaser chat and Andrew reminds you his first novel The Ferryman Upon The Plains is available to pre-order now at one bookstore, not a good one (amazon).


306 - Lions For Lambs

At some point Andrew heard Johnny say “I never saw Tim Hill’s 2007 live-action/animation hybrid Alvin And The Chipmunks” so this episode exists. Johnny discusses seeing Six and Drop, there’s a deep-dive into the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and someone says “Alviiiin” like there’s a paycheque waving offscreen.

Everything the Police Squad franchise was meant to invoke.

Everybody Runs, some simply run their mouth. We dive into Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning before jumping to Spielberg and Cruise’s first feature together, the sci-fi noir that has Tom Cruise calling Colin Farrell a twink. And other elements, but mainly that.
