Wonka

1/26/2024
Disclaimer: At 33:00 we messed up our own ranking! We tried to place Wonka in our overall ranking of all of Hugh Grant's movies, but we inexplicably forgot to add our two scores together, which meant Wonka ended up placing 49/50 films! The movie would have finished 25th place if scored correctly. Wonka (2023), directed by Paul King, tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, a character from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, featuring his early days as a chocolatier. Wonka is the third live-action movie based on Dahl's famous book, after Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). With dreams of opening a shop in a city renowned for its chocolate, a young and poor Willy Wonka, discovers that the industry is run by a cartel of greedy chocolatiers. If that wasn't bad enough, he must also work out how to contend with his stalker, a small orange man played by Hugh Grant.

Five long-time friends are invited to the Greek island home of billionaire Miles Bron (played by Edward Norton). All five know Bron from way back and owe their current wealth, fame and careers to him. The main event is a murder weekend game with Bron to be the victim. In reality, they all have reasons to kill him. Also invited is Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig), the world's greatest detective.

Hugh Grant on our screens at Christmas for the third year in a row; is cast in upcoming HBO series The Palace with Kate Winslet

12/18/2022
After a hiatus of four months, Diggory and Oscar are back to spread Hugh Grant-related Christmas cheer! First up on the agenda is new film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which premiered in November but will be largely enjoyed on Netflix when it's released on December 23. Hugh has a very fleeting cameo in this 'whodunnit' starring Daniel Craig, but nonetheless it's got Hugh Grant fans talking! The boys also debrief on an ABC News 20 years retrospective on Love Actually, where Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and others reflect on making the Christmas classic. Can you believe Love Actually came out 20 years ago....! We can't. Finally, Digs and Oscar ponder exciting news that Hugh has been cast in another HBO show, The Palace, following on from his success in The Undoing. This time, he's ticking off starring with yet another leading lady in Kate Winslet. There aren't a lot of details at present, but the fact it's being directed by Stephen Frears (who Hugh knows from A Very English Scandal and Florence Foster Jenkins) is certainly an early Christmas present.

Hugh Grant attends Comic-Con to promote new movie, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

8/10/2022
Hugh Grant just can't stay out of the news this summer and we bloody love it! At the age of 61, Hugh has left it to the twilight of his career to appear at Comic-Con, the international comic book convention in San Diego, California. He was there along with other co-stars from upcoming movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and couldn't resist cracking jokes about playing D&D (and S&M), leaving the audience in stitches. It's also been announced that Hugh is pulling out of Kaos almost as quickly as he was cast in it. It's a shame we won't see Hugh playing a vengeful Zeus, but somehow Oscar and Diggory think he may have dodged a bullet by not appearing in the new Netflix series. Finally, the lads discuss rumours Hugh was in line to play Prince Andrew in a new film based on his infamous television interview with Emily Maitlis on BBC Newsnight, and is there a return for Bridget Jones and Daniel Cleaver on the horizon...?

Come out from behind your couch and settle down as Oscar and Diggory discuss Hugh Grant's role in Shades of Darkness: The Demon Lover (1986), including the strange way that they don't show Hugh's face for a lot of the film but when they do - how lovely his hair is. In 1941 in England, despite the war, for Robert Drover (played by Hugh Grant) relatively speaking all is well. He is in love with a wonderful young woman but this soon presents a problem for his mother, Kathleen (played by Dorothy Tutin). This burgeoning love leads her to reminisce about her own first love, a dashing RAF pilot who was killed in 1916. She can’t explain it, but she keeps thinking she’s seeing him everywhere. And then, one day, when visiting her London house, she is shocked to find a fresh note, signed off by her long dead lover...
