Listen Now

The Final Cut has finally reached double figures and, despite arriving 2 weeks late, is full to the brim with everything film-related. Josh has been to the Manchester International Film Festival to see Public Figure and Princess of The Row whilst James has been been watching Quentin Tarantino interviews. There's also some in -depth chat about the Michael Jackson documentary - Leaving Neverland - and the upcoming Aladdin re-make.  Elsewhere the boys discuss prison dramas, the seemingly impossible to watch Michael McConaughey vehicle Serenity and finally end up at the industry behind making film trailers. 

Following our 2 hour Oscars special last week, Josh has sought solace in a 40th anniversary screening of Ridley Scott's seminal Alien whilst James has been busying himself with Steven Merchant's new comedy Fighting With My Family.  The lads also conduct a thorough Oscars debrief, discuss the possibility of 'Oscar-winner' Rami Malek starring as Bond 25's villain and ruminate on the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel. Elsewhere Josh delivers some shocking Birdman opinions and talks about his favourite Mark Wahlberg fact, and, finally, the topic of which actor would play you in a biopic makes an appearance. 

The Final Cut is back for a feature-length Oscars special, and Josh and James have finally got around to watching The Favourite just in time for the big day. Before the Oscars talk however, there's some exciting Edgar Wright news, an enthralling wrestling chat due to the upcoming Hulk Hogan biopic and a bit of a music biopic related rant.  Following the break, the boys discuss the litany of controversies behind this year's awards, their picks for the main prizes up for grabs and the molecular level on which Josh despises Bohemian Rhapsody. 

The Final Cut returns in 2019 and Josh and James have spent their respective new year periods avoiding work and watching a ridiculous quantity of films. There's reviews of Vice, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, and a little bit of Russian Doll to look forward to. In addition, the lads talk about some 'recent' film news including the upcoming Breaking Bad sequel, some classic Disney live-action remake bashing, and, of course, Josh goes off on one about Bohemian Rhapsody. Again. 

The Final Cut returns for one last time in 2018 and Josh and James have both been to watch very different films this week, with James having been to see the critically-acclaimed Japanese drama Shoplifters and Josh having been to a very festive (and cold) screening of Die Hard. The boys also reflect on their favourite films of 2018 as well as discussing their top picks for 2019 and laughing at a number of upcoming films they still can't quite believe are being made. There's also plenty of time for the usual nonsense you've come to know and love including Josh's past hair styles, James' appreciation for Zooey Deschanel and, of course, their most beloved Christmas films. Thank you all for the support in 2018 and we hope to be back with even more film and TV reviews/news (and literally anything else we fancy talking about) in 2019.

The Final Cut returns (a week later than billed due to editing ineptitude) with Josh being joined by Claudia Hedger instead of an otherwise indisposed James Herdman. This week, Josh has just returned from watching Creed II and gives a thorough breakdown of all aspects of 'Rocky-lore' and Claudia gets extremely excited about the as-of-yet unconfirmed Shrek 5. Elsewhere there is plenty of film-related chat about Disney's enormous live-action slate, the upcoming unnecessary sequel to Olympus Has Fallen and also Josh messes up the entire broadcast about halfway through.

On this week's Final Cut, James has returned from his journey to the North with some interesting opinions on the people of Durham whilst Josh has been watching Assassination Nation and has become increasingly irritated by the ending. Elsewhere in film related antics the lads attempt to guess each other's favourite films (with extremely limited success) and Josh makes an incredibly bold claim about The Lion King. Within the wealth of non-film related chat in this episode there's talk of the lad's musical talents, the genesis of the podcast's theme song, and even some LADBible-bashing to look forward to.

Following a 2 week hiatus, The Final Cut is back. This week James has been watching Mandy and is revealed to have much greater Nic Cage knowledge than Josh who has been to watch Widows and had a Pringle-based dilemma. The boys also have an extended chat about their favourite documentaries, which somehow descends into a discussion about the pros and cons of polyamory. There's also the usual random chat to look forward to ranging from James' disdain for Avatar, Disney's new streaming service and even Coldplay getting a mention.

This week on The Final Cut, Josh has been to watch The Hate U Give and Bohemian Rhapsody, one of which involved an unfortunate toilet malfunction, and James has suffered through all 140 minutes of Venom. Also James explains his misfortune whilst trying to watch Halloween and the boys discuss which 'critically-acclaimed' film they hate the most. There's also some chat about Johnny Depp's finances, Jon Faverau's upcoming live-action Star Wars series and even a Peter Jackson rant, courtesy of Josh, to enjoy.

In the very first episode of The Final Cut, Josh has been to watch Bad Times at the El Royale and has developed some controversial opinions on Tango Ice Blasts, meanwhile James has been borrowing money to watch Blindspotting. The boys have also both been to watch First Man and wildly overuse the phrase 'Oscar-bait' to describe it. There's also some chat about Hollywood crash dieting, Top Gun: Maverick, and even a little bit of admiration for the 1990's classic American Pie to look forward to.
