That's right, it's the 2006 Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line. Joe & Adam discuss the film, the acting performances and the music - as well as exploring the theory of 'blood music'. Plus more.

How could you forget David Lynch’s dreamy Mulholland Drive. Well, it did come out in 2001, which is ages ago and Joe doesn’t really get along with Lynch’s pot of paint. On the docket: the clues of Mulholland Drive; Nolan, of course Nolan; can Joe apply Lynch logic to a kid’s story?, the Movie Star Mind Meld game, the Box Office game, and more.

Cast your mind back to 2004 and Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s puppet comedy about America and famous actors: it’s Team America: World Police. It has funny songs too.  How has it aged though? How many jokes are there? If you don’t find something funny, are you humourless?  And who would Adam cast in a modern update of The Core? Plus a Mind Meld.

Matt LeBlanc and Gary Oldman star in this Stephen Hopkins directed 1998 blockbuster movie 'Lost in Space'! What other blockbusters came out that year? Why are there two Jack Johnsons confused in IMDB? And why wasn't Col. Jack O'Neill invited to a BBQ? All of this and more on today's episode of this podcast. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

Barry Jenkins’ 2017 (UK release date) Oscar winner gets the Forgot You Forgot treatment. Adam watched in on blu-ray, no big deal, but does the blurb give the right movie nod for each actor? Starring Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes and Naomie Harris, this episode  sees Joe and Adam tussle over the film’s choices, and whether poetry is better than realism. Oh, and coming-of-age movies more generally.

Find out Joe’s rubbish excuses for not having watched Garden State. Never mind, because the pair had still watched some other movies/films that they chatted about instead. Mainly, The End of Oak Street. Why is David Robert Mitchell’s 80s-inflected Amblin-style popcorn blockbuster getting so many shrugs? Joe likes football, and he’s seen a sort of football based documentary - The Last Resident of the Holloway Motel.  Also on the docket: a bit on the latest Spiderman (Brand New Day!) and Joe’s finally seen Before The Devil Knows Your Dead. Did he like it? Cul-de-sac chats veer off into strip club territory. Excuses and reasons aplenty.

Mathieu Kassovitz's 1995 French masterpiece La Haine is the topic of today's episode.

The 2002 action thriller, The Bourne Identity got forgot; really? Adam says so, says he’s a Supremacy guy… but what of the Doug Liman director first one, scripted by Tony Gilroy?  What are the best bits? Who would we be if we got Bourned? Who is Jason Bourne? Who is a good recast for a modern (baby) Bourne? All this and more!

Quentin Tarantino's 1998 flick Jackie Brown is the topic of today's discussion. Joe & Adam dive into the movie, Tarantino's catalogue and more, including: are you a page folder or bookmark person? Which actors belong with which directors? Could Jake Gyllenhaal do a Nolan movie? And how big is Joe's new lamp?

How much is there to say about 1997’s The Fifth Element, beyond the great production design and some fun performances… not a whole lot it turns out.  There’s the Gary Oldman Game though, and who won acting Oscar chat, and there is a prolonged diversion into Django Unchained.

The Mask of Zorro, starring Antonio Bandares, Anthony Hopkins & Catherine Zeta-Jones, is the film of choice for today's episode. But don't worry: Joe & Adam barely talk about it.

Joe and Adam muse over films they’ve seen recently, focusing on a shoddy trip to the cinema for 500 Miles. Plus Supergirl gets both barrels for its approach to covers, Mando & Grogu splits opinion and Savage House gets some heady praise. But it’s not really about the movies (or films) is it? It’s the fun in between.

Revisiting the most lauded film of 2025, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another (or for the too busy to say things fully: PTA’s OBAA). Joe loved it, saw it twice. Adam was chillier… has he chilled? And what Christopher Nolan got to do with it? Expect to hear all about expectation and a run down of PTA’s oeuvre (love that word.) This is the last in this current solo series, and it’s the best one.
