What happens when music, madness, and myth collide? In this episode, we dive headfirst into 24 Hour Party People — the film that blurs fact and fiction to tell the story of Tony Wilson, Factory Records, and the wild rise and fall of the Manchester music scene. From the birth of Joy Division to the hedonism of The Haçienda, we unpack how a city reshaped the sound of a generation. Join us as we explore the legacy of a cultural revolution built on chaos, creativity, and a refusal to play by the rules.

The party never really ends.~

We dive headfirst into The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. We unravel the surreal tale of a traveling troupe, a wish-granting mirror, and a hanged man with amnesia who turns out to be a charming conman with a horrifying past. As stakes rise and the Devil comes to collect, we follow a whirlwind of wagers, illusions, and moral collapse—all wrapped in a film that feels like a bedtime story told by someone who hasn’t slept in days.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Terry Gilliam’s Brazil—a dystopian satire that’s equal parts visually stunning and narratively chaotic. What should have been a sharp critique of bureaucracy and capitalism turns into a surreal fever dream filled with dream sequences, paperwork warfare, and a romance subplot that left us scratching our heads. From the impressive set design to the film’s tonal confusion, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this cult classic may be more divisive than its reputation suggests.

Sometimes even the B-Players shine~

In this delightfully chaotic episode of Are You My Dad??, we kick things off with a heartfelt pitch for Henry Cavill as the ultimate modern-day dad. With gym sessions, gaming marathons, and Warhammer nights included. Then, things take a turn through the annals of history as we nominate ancient Chinese warlord Lü Bu for his ji-swinging skills and questionable moral compass. And just when you thought the dad chat was over, we dive headfirst into a wild recap of Time Bandits, a time-hopping Terry Gilliam classic featuring dwarves, divine theft, and a cosmic clash between God and an Evil Genius. Buckle up—it’s one bizarre and hilarious ride through time, fantasy, and fatherhood.

We’re talking Godzilla Minus One, a haunting post-war kaiju drama that follows Koichi, a former kamikaze pilot wrestling with PTSD, guilt, and loss in the aftermath of WWII. As if surviving the war wasn’t traumatic enough, a newly mutated Godzilla re-emerges, turning Koichi’s road to redemption into a monster-sized reckoning. With a makeshift family and a rising civilian resistance at his back, Koichi is forced to confront both his past and the looming threat of annihilation. It’s intense, emotional, and packed with jaw-dropping destruction—basically everything you’d want from a Godzilla movie with an actual soul.

This week, we’re all going to prison—well, hypothetically. After ignoring a cease and desist (mistaking it for yet another credit card offer), we’re prepping for life behind bars with some “essential” survival tips. Rule one? Win over the biggest boss with baked goods. Rule two? Stick with a crew, because surprise pillow fights can turn into kidney heists real quick. But don’t worry, we’ve got the perfect prison flick to guide us through: The Shawshank Redemption. Following Andy Dufresne’s journey from wrongly convicted banker to prison escape mastermind, this classic tale of resilience, friendship, and sweet, sweet revenge is a must-watch. So grab your commissary snacks and let’s dive in!
