The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: Kingsman, Big Hero 6 And Inherent Vice (Episode 15)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 18:44:13 +0000

Another week, another Filmcast. In the T & C’s most action packed episode of the year so far, Liam (Dom’s still on hiatus, but will be back next week – promise) is joined by Dr. Lindsay Hallam (Lecturer in Film at the University of East London), David James (London City Nights) and Matthew Lee (Screen Robot) to discuss an exhaustive and exhausting week at the movies.

Kicking off with a review of Big Hero 6, the gang then segue into a discussion of Julius Avery’s pretty bonkers Son of a Gun – including an exclusive interview with the man himself. Then it’s an all-out run through the rest of the UK’s big releases, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s kind of incomprehensible but kind of great Inherent Vice taking precedent before reviews of Beyond Clueless and a roundtable discussion of the spectacularly silly Kingsman: The Secret Service polish the show off.

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: Ex Machina, Mortdecai And A Most Violent Year (Episode 14)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 02:29:17 +0000

Dom may be slipping and moaning his way through the Sundance Film Festival on the far side of the Atlantic, but the mighty Filmcast rolls on unabated. Liam is joined by regular guest Dr. Lindsay Hallam (Lecturer in Film at the University of East London), David James (London City Nights) and Matthew Lee (Screen Robot) to talk yet another busy week at the movies.

On the chopping block for this episode we have Johnny Depp “comedy” Mortdecai, and – much more pleasantly – an Oscar Isaac double bill, with Ex Machina and A Most Violent Year both coming under the gang’s intense scrutiny.

Buckle in folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: Talking Oscar Nominations, Whiplash And Testament of Youth (Episode 13)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 03:58:17 +0000

The gang’s back for 2015 in epic, sprawling fashion. Dom and Liam take to the latest stew of Oscar-bait (and The Hobbit as well) with all the subtlety and taste of a bulldozer, partnered in crime by Dr. Lindsay Hallam, David James and Matthew Lee.

Over the course of a massive hour and a half of cinematic discussion, the group tells you everything you need to know about what’s on at the movies right now – namely, why Birdman‘s really, really good and how American Sniper‘s kinda, sorta evil.

There’s plenty more catch up too, with enamoured discussion of Foxcatcher – and much less than enamoured reviews of Into the Woods and The Woman in Black 2 – as well as reviews of the UK’s three big releases this week: Whiplash, Wild and Testament of Youth.

As a bonus – and provided you can stand all the movie wittering – stick around for an extensive (and very grumpy) discussion of this year’s pathetic excuses for Oscar nominations.

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: End Of Year Special (Episode 12)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 21:55:01 +0000

In their final show of the year, the gang put their exhausted, film-addled heads together one last time before 2015 comes a knockin’. This week, Liam is joined (via the magic of Skype) by Dom and regular contributors Dr. Lindsay Hallam and David James, as well as the triumphantly returning Matthew Lee.

Tasked with summing up one hell of a year of cinema, the gang run down their personal lists of best and (of course) worst movies of the year – as well as discussing the movies everyone should be excited about in the coming months. From Werner Herzog to Michael Fassbender’s penis, no end of year filmcast is anywhere near as all-encompassing,

The Tea & Crumpet crew would like to thank everyone involved in the show – be they contributor or, of course, listener – in what’s proven to be a lively and fantastically fun inaugural year. Here’s to an even better 2015!

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: The Imitation Game, The Drop And Life Itself (Episode 11)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 05:04:57 +0000

Straight from the their secret headquarters in the pulsing heart of London and onto your computer/phone/generic MP3 device, Episode 11 of The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast is ready to be unleashed.

This week, your hosts Dominic Mill and Liam Dunn are joined by ever-present regular David James (London City Nights) and Heidi Blackaby. Putting their various, movie-addled minds together, the gang take on another hefty week of film reviews.

Up on the chopping block are Benedict Cumberbatch’s Oscar contender The Imitation Game, The Drop (featuring one last performance from the mighty James Gandolfini), James Brown biopic Get On Up and the emotionally charged Roger Ebert biopic Life Itself (Dom tried really, really hard not to cry whilst talking about it this time).

Check it out below, and enjoy!

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: London Film Festival (Episode 9)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 06:40:54 +0000

Recorded live at the British Film Insitute’s headquarters, Dom, Liam, Dr Lindsay Hallam, David James and newcomer Emily Estep pour themselves a hot cup to warm them through an exhaustive discussion of this year’s sprawling and wonderful London Film Festival.

Amid the clattering of tea-trolleys and the background chatter of filmmakers from all walks of life, the assembled gang discuss their highlights, lowlights (and in Dom’s case, vomit inducing horrors) that have punctuated their various festival experiences.

Among many, many others, the team take on The Imitation Game, Wild, Foxcatcher, The Duke of Burgundy, Electricity, Song of the Sea, Goodbye to Language and The Falling.

This super extra bumper episode also features an exclusive interview with Tom Harper (director of War Book, a new podcast favourite).

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: Gone Girl, Life After Beth And You & The Night (Episode 8)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 06:31:06 +0000

Dom returns to the fold alongside Liam and Dr. Lindsay Hallam for another bumper week of distinctly British podcasting.

In the line of fire for this episode are the achingly hip Life After Beth (starring the fabulous Aubrey Plaza and the grumpy Dane DeHaan) and French Lynchian sex comedy You & the Night – prompting extensive and enamoured discussion of Eric Cantona’s member and M83’s woozy score.

Rounding thing off, the gang take a spoiler-free (and then spoilerific) look at David Fincher’s frankly hilarious Gone Girl, a film that Dom has now gone back to see on three separate occasions.

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: Maps To The Stars, Ida And I Origins (Episode 7)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:41:58 +0000

The gang may be depleted, but the mighty Tea & Crumpet Filmcast rolls on with reckless abandon. For episode 7, Liam is joined by Dr. Lindsay Hallam and David James to discuss one heck of a busy week at the movies.

Up for review is the new Cronenberg/R.Patz flick Maps to the Stars, LFF-winner Ida, the surprisingly not awful What We Did on Our Holiday and the interesting mess of ideas that is I Origins.

The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast: The Guest, Life Of Crime And The Big Summer Round-Up (Episode 5)

matt@wegotthiscovered.com (We Got This Covered) — Sat, 13 Sep 2014 18:33:49 +0000

In an extra special bumper blockbusting episode of The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast, Liam and Dom are joined once more by Matthew Lee and Dr. Lindsay Hallam to talk this week’s film releases as well as kick off a massive, all-encompassing post-mortem of the summer blockbuster season.

Episode 5 sees Dom take on the lukewarm, unfortunately Jennifer Aniston-led Life of Crime, before the gang at large tackles They Came Together and The Guest. Listeners can also look forward to a sprawling discussion of what’s turned out to be a pretty darn excellent summer of movies, featuring – among many other things – an enamoured, blow-by-blow account of watching Tom Cruise get repeatedly run over by a truck.

Episode 4 of The Tea & Crumpet Filmcast sees a fevered Dom and Liam – with the much needed help of Dr. Lindsay Hallam – desperately scrabbling through mountains of movie stuff.

To start off, there’s an extensive examination of the highlights and lowlights of this year’s Frightfest, including an in-depth discussion om Eva Green’s boobs and Dan Stevens’ pecs. The team also rattles through reviews of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Lucy, before gazing on in horror as Dom launches into an epic, irascible tirade against the critically lauded Two Days, One Night.
