No Accounting For Taste

Well. Blade Runner 2049. That happened, and people have opinions... But the question remains: what do ROBOTS think? (Tom keeps saying Robot instead of Replicant. Sorry. Whatever. It doesn't matter. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.) Five stars or zero? No room for fence sitters. Episode nine of a film podcast from Tom Hogan & Lauren Carroll Harris.

Tom & Lauren thought two-way tension wasn't enough so they invite poet and editor Emily Stewart (Giramondo Publishing) to discuss her favourite film, as well as... another one. Which is which? Only time/Emily will tell. Five stars or zero? No room for fence sitters. Episode eight of a film podcast from Tom Hogan & Lauren Carroll Harris.

Lauren Bacall has a heart of gold, the talons of a hawk, and she is staring into your soul. Bogart makes an appearance, but, like... who cares?

Things get incredibly heated in this episode, it's exhausting. We hope you've seen The Master... because there is definitely no fence sitting here, and we arrrrrgggguuuueee about it. Five stars, or zero stars? No room for fence sitters. Episode Six of a film podcast by Lauren Carroll Harris & Tom Hogan

Tom is suspiciously passionate about the eighth film of the most successful franchise in film history (does he even take a breath in this whole episode?), while Lauren sticks to the issues. Let's call it a draw. 5 stars, or 0 stars? No room for fence sitters. Episode Four of a new film podcast by Lauren Carroll Harris & Tom Hogan

Tom attempts to catch Lauren off guard using her own favourite film against her - instead, she psychoanalyses Tom, and shatters his entire understanding of the role of film criticism. 5 stars, or 0 stars? No room for fence sitters. Episode Three of a new film podcast by Lauren Carroll Harris & Tom Hogan

We get existential in the sci-fi remake, Solaris (2002), by Steven Soderbergh, starring George Clooney and Natascha McElhone. 5 stars, or 0 stars? No room for fence sitters. Episode Two of a new film podcast by Lauren Carroll Harris & Tom Hogan

5 stars, or 0 stars? No room for fence sitters. Episode One of a new film podcast by Lauren Carroll Harris & Tom Hogan We rip our adamantium claws into the latest Wolverine film, Logan (2017), by James Mangold, starring Hugh Jackman and Dafne Keen.
