Yeah yeah .. .we KNOW that technically some of these films have 2019 release dates, but we *saw* them in 2020 and \u2026 c\u2019mon give us a break please #2020


Lisa says check out Ma Rainey's Black Bottom \u2026 errr .. only she doesn\u2019t.\xa0 All will be revealed, just listen on \u2026

Brian digs up some great, easily-missed gems.

Meanwhile Dean puts on his grumpy face and dishes dirt on his nomination for the LEAST deserving Best Picture film of all time \u2026 (mainly because it happened in the year his beloved Blade Runner 2049 was not even NOMINATED). Yes Academy ... Dean is looking at you !

So this episode is a love-in for the stuff that nourished us throughout this shit-show, forever to be known as 2020.

https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3256991257?playlistId=tt6048922&ref_=tt_ov_vi

And if you enjoyed that movie you will LOVE this hour long deep dive (sic) interview with Tom on the AMAZING Dan Carlin\u2019s podcast Hardcore History Addendum. Check that out here

Dean's cave diving mate Richard 'Harry' Harris and his interview with Chris Lemons on his @realrisk podcast https://realriskpodcast.com/s2-e10-life-on-a-line-saturation-diving-with-chris-lemons-pt-1/\xa0

And finally for Dean .. how do you film a movie about an \u201cInvisible Man\u2019 ?\xa0 Well you put Leigh Whannel behind the camera, and Elizabeth Moss in front of it, and all is good. A cracking modern thriller with very topical themes of Domestic Violence and Coercive Control.

Finally the hard-to-watch \u2018Uncut Gems\u2019 with Adam Sandler in (another) great serious role (leave the comedy behind please Adam)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5727208/

Dean sez:

Keep an eye out for Eric Bana in a taut Aussie thriller called \u2018The Dry\u2019
https://youtu.be/HwJhS4O_IdM

His unrequited crush Denis Villeneuve, is releasing his much anticipated version of Dune, attempting to expunge the hideous red-headed step child that *was* David Lynch\u2019s version with Kyle McLachlan

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419

And although he didn\u2019t get to say it on the pod, Dean is also looking forward to a couple of tent poles like Top Gun 2 and the final Daniel Craig Bond film.

Ray Shoesmith was right. The new guy is good. Connery rocks. Moore sucks. The rest are irrelevant.
