Podcast Description
A podcast dedicated to the films you probably should have seen, but for some reason never quite got round to watching... plus a few obscure ones that you've probably never heard of but should watch anyway. Join Lewis and Ian as they laugh in the face of each other's film recommendations and attempt to look knowledgeable by regurgitating stuff they've just read on Wikipedia. Updated every Thursday.

Podcast 017: Submarine | Regular listeners to 101 Films probably picture Lewis and Ian as rugged, outdoor, macho types. Women want them and men want to be them, fine examples, as they are, of manhood. They weren’t always the confident adonises they are today. There was a time, believe it or not, that Lewis and Ian were sensitive and [...] | 15 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

101 Films 2012 Valentine’s Day Special | 101 Films has, of course, always been about love.

Podcast 015: The Day The Earth Caught Fire | Having a bad day? Spilt coffee over your new shoes? Neighbours playing loud music? Computer on the blink?

Podcast 014: The Godfather | The Godfather. Probably one of the greatest films ever made. It has seeped into so much of popular culture that there are references to the film in everything from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith to The Rugrats Movie. So in this introduction to the latest 101 Films Podcast, the temptation is [...] | 18 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 013: Zardoz | Are you feeling lost? Does your life feel strangely empty and without meaning? Even those confident types at 101 Films have suffered from this modern-day lack of spirituality.

Podcast 012: Bubba Ho-Tep | Imagine if Elvis was secretly alive. Imagine if JFK was also secretly alive and he was in the same old people’s home as Elvis. And JFK had been dyed black. And they had to team up to fight an ancient Egyptian Mummy that was stealing souls. That’s an impressive imagination you’ve got there. This week [...] | 4 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 010: The Nightmare Before Christmas | With Christmas just round the corner 101 Films gets in a seasonal mood by watching The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Podcast 009: Inception | This week we look at Inception, the slightly trippy dream heist film. Other than a very long discussion about what dreams feel like, Lewis and Ian look at some Listener Letters, shush each other, and spend much of the podcast mispronouncing the name of pretty much every single actor in Inception. This podcast is ‘featured-up’ [...] | 7 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 008: Tristram Shandy: A Cock And Bull Story | Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story has a particular resonance for 101 Films, featuring as it does two egotistical men who love the sounds of their own voices and who bicker and bumble their way through the adaptation of a novel that is confusing, meanders all over the place, and doesn’t really achieve what [...] | 1 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 007: The Fisher King | This week we’re reviewing The Fisher King, but we sound more like we’re in Twelve Monkeys: an unidentified plague has swept across 101 Films Towers, leaving Lewis and Ian as croaky, self-pitying shadows of their former selves. If you can put up with us hacking, coughing and spluttering for 40 minutes, you can enjoy our [...] | 24 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 006: Dark City | Dark City opens with a controversial voice over that reveals pretty much the entire plot in the first 30 seconds. For many, this ruins what should be a mysterious and bewildering (in a fun way) film-watching experience. So we’re not going to make the same mistake here at 101 Films. We’re not going to tell [...] | 17 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
