Friday Mar 21, 2025

Friday Mar 21, 2025

The film Men (2022) is the controversial subject of today's discussion. If this film missed your radar, or if you've avoided it because you thought the name to be gender-baiting, then go off and watch it. It's a well crafted artistic expression of misogyny/misandry, playfully explored through symbolism.

Friday Mar 07, 2025

So we watched The Substance (2024), and yeah, like most of you, we thought it was maddening that Demi Moore didn't get the gong. This is a rare occasion where 2 Strange men stays topical; but it was a story too crazy to miss. We consider how great the film was and how art imitates life.Find us everywhere Podcast Carl Muircroft & Tom McGarityMusicSeb Camm

#4 The Voices

Friday Feb 28, 2025

Friday Feb 28, 2025

In order to consider the strange subject of Birdman (2014), the strange ones embark on another discovery mission. Tom leads a fascinating deep dive into the concept of voices. The ones we hear that no one else can. I have no idea how we manage to make this conversation smutty, but that's just the expectation at this point. Enjoy.Find us EverywherePodcastCarl MuircroftTom McGarityMusicSeb Camm  Additional content credited to Kim's Lighthouse. 

Friday Feb 21, 2025

We sit down and critique the unique and technically astounding Birdman (2014). Given our own backgrounds in theatre it made for some uncomfortable viewing, some rants, and some interesting conclusions. Look out for the next episode where we explore the follow-on topic: the voices in one's head.WARNING: This episode covers a sensitive topic (Suicidal Ideation). Please avoid if this is likely to affect you. Podcast Carl Muircroft & Tom McGarityMusicSeb Camm
