Cinematic Leap

This week we leap with composer James Horner to one of Mike's favourite films - 1986 sci-fi Aliens. But what do the rest of us think of it, and do we regard as highly as many seem to?

This week we stay in 1994, leaping with stunt person Jim Dunn to the early Brad Pitt drama Legends of the Fall. We discuss how beautiful Brad Pitt’s hair is, and also talk a little bit about the film. Hope you enjoy.

This episode we leap with Point Break composer Mark Isham to the 1994 action sci-fi JCVD film Timecop. Join us as we discuss this fun but flawed film. We hope you enjoy.

For this episode we go further back in time to 1991 for classic action/surfing/bank robber film Point Break. We leapt here with Tom Sizemore and had a lot of fun revisiting this classic. We hope you enjoy this episode.

This week we leap with Ewan McGregor to 2001 war film Black Hawk Down. Maybe not everyone's go-to film when they think of Ewan McGregor, but we go there anyway. Is Ewan convincing in this kind of role? We discuss this and more. Hope you enjoy.

For some reason we leap back to Michael Bay again - this time to 2005's sci-fi action thriller The Island. Join us as we discuss if this film is worth watching. It does have a great cast, but does that mean it's a great movie? We discuss this and more. Hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with composer James Newton Howard to Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx 2004 action thriller Collateral. Is this film as good as it seems? And how is Jamie Foxx clearly the main character but also supporting actor apparently according to Oscar nominations? We discuss this and more... We hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with Julia Roberts for the first time to 2007 war comedy Charlie Wilson's War. This is also the first time we've had the chance to discuss a Tom Hanks movie. With this cast, and an Aaron Sorkin script, surely we all loved it! Didn't we? Listen to find out...

How could we not leap with Spielberg?! This week we leap again with Steven to one of his many classics - this time to family film Hook starring Robin Williams. We discuss this interesting take on Peter Pan and the great Robin Williams. We hope you enjoy.

This week it's back to Spielberg as we leap with Paul Dano to 2022 coming-of-age drama The Fabelmans. We enjoy discussing a film about a young boy obsessed with film making, and how this film relates to aspects of Spielbergs life. We hope you enjoy listening.

This week we leap to 2012 time-travel action film Looper. We arrived here through actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Surely from here we leap to Die Hard with Bruce Willis? But first, what did we think of this time travel classic?

This week we leap from one of Heath Ledger's best roles, to one of his earliest roles, 1999 romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You. What did we think of this one? Is it wrong for grown men whole love action movies to also enjoy the odd romcom? Of course not! Unless it is... listen and find out!

This week we leap with recent Oscar winner Cillian Murphy to Christopher Nolans second (and best?) Batman film The Dark Knight. We discuss the great Heath Ledger and what we thought of this action packed film. We hope you enjoy.

Season 4 is finally here and we start with one of Mike's picks as he leaps with Frequency editor David Rosenbloom to Transcendence which the other two of us had never heard of. Is there a reason we haven't heard of it? Or is this an undiscovered gem? We discuss this and more in our first episode of season 4!

This week we are joined by another special guest - Steph from Psychocinematic who had to leap from The Guilty with Jake Gyllenhaal who was chosen by our last guest Kevin from K J and A Podcast. Steph chose to take us to 2014 crime thriller Nightcrawler.

For our third guest episode we are joined by Kevin from K J and A Podcast to discuss 2021 crime thriller The Guilty after leaping from the last guest podcast with director Antoine Fuqua. An interesting movie, and a fun chat. We hope you enjoy.

3 Seasons done! This special bonus episode we discuss our highlights of season 3, what we would change, what we enjoyed, and celebrate how far we've come. We're not slowing down anytime soon though. Season 4 will be following shortly after a couple more bonus special guest episodes. We hope you enjoy this wrap up of or third (and possibly best yet!) season.

This week we leap 23 years back in time with Michael Cera to this 2000 crime-drama-mystery film Frequency. The final film of season 3!

This week we leap with the excellent Margo Robbie to a more recent film – 2023’s adventure-comedy-fantasy-toy movie Barbie. Will three middle-aged guys enjoy this film, or are we not the target audience? Who knows?

This week we leap to something a bit lighter, with sound person James Mather to 2013 time travel rom-com About Time. A first watch for the two of us that aren't rom-com fans... so what did we think...?
