We take a break from our regular scheduled programming while Chris is crazy busy attending the 68th Melbourne International Film Festival. Taking some time in between films Chris chats with old buddy Toby about some of the films they’ve seen so far.
Featuring Special Guest Toby Zarb.
In the first of a new special series for the podcast, Tom & Chris sit down and ReQuest an old film from the Collection. For this first episode they take a look back at Spine #13, The Silence of the Lambs, and attempt a more in depth discussion than their drunken ramblings all those years ago.
After their brief jaunt in the waters of Poland, Tom & Chris head for a weekend away at a French chateau with a group of upper and lower class people who begin to challenge what is acceptable for their station.
Having escape their run in with the nefarious Mr Scratch, Tom & Chris find themselves joining a married couple and a hitchhiker they collected for a quiet boat trip in the Polish countryside. However, things start to become a little tense when fragile egos are tested and lines are crossed.
After their troublesome time with King Richard, Tom & Chris hightail it back to America (New England to be precise) where they meet up with a man who’s financial troubles seem to disappear after he makes a deal with the somewhat shady Mr. Scratch.
After their exhaustive exploration into the nature of God, Tom & Chris find themselves back in England following along with the long and exhaustive plan of a deformed King as he makes his play to steal the thrown and seize power over the land.
Getting back into the swing of things, Tom & Chris find themselves in Sweden travelling down a wormhole on the possible perception of God, splitting their time between a family torn by mental illness and self absorption, a priest struggling with his faith and two sisters with opposing natures.
After a short break Tom & Chris return, finding themselves in post war Japan being caught up in the exploits of a local pornographer, his mischievous crew and his eccentric family.
In this little mini episode Chris gives a little update on the podcast, why we’re taking a little break and announces the first of the videos we’ve been working on over the last little while. Plus, like the shameless whore he is, uses the opportunity to cross-promote his other podcast You Haven’t Seen That?!
Jumping on a train from the aptly named Terminal Station, Tom & Chris arrive in West Germany finding themselves following the exploits of a married woman making a life for herself and her imprisoned husband, an ageing movie star (and the reporter uncovering her dark secret) and a straight laced building inspector duped into an unexpected romance.
Tom and Chris are baffled and bored with the company they find themselves with while sitting around a train station. They get caught up in an average affair between an Italian scholar and an American wife trying to decide if she should follow her head or her heart.
Tom & Chris start the new year with the return of their friend Colleen, as the three make their way through the streets of Rome with an elderly gentleman and his dog trying to make sense of the changing world around them and find their place within it.
Tom & Chris ring in the new year by taking a little break from the collection to discuss some of the new films from 2018 they enjoyed.
For their 200th outing Tom & Chris (and Colleen briefly) find themselves on the road with a pair of serial killers who prey on women through the classified ads.
After the heartfelt romance they got swept up in, Tom & Chris find themselves now dealing with a strange world of miscommunication as they follow a poor working class schlub, a bizarre exterminator and a strange cult leader.
After their last harrowing outing in Germany, Tom & Chris find themselves now in a post-war/post-terrorism world fuelled by pressure and fear. However, they connect with an older woman and her new young, immigrant lover as they try to make sense of the world they find themselves.
After reconciling with the drudgery of the working world, Tom & Chris find themselves involved in an intense relationship between a French actress and a Japanese architect contemplating life, love and memories. After this brief tryst, they find themselves confronted with the horrors of what mankind is capable of.
Following their sordid and baffling murder mystery encounter in Paris, Tom & Chris make their way to Italy where they become invested in the working lives of two men, one at the beginning of his professional career and the other who’s at a crossroads.
As the train pulls out of Latvia Tom & Chris head for postwar Paris where they become entangled in a murder investigation involving a piano player, his singer wife and their photographer friend. The boys also get caught up discussing toothbrush moustaches and the mad adventures of Rabbi Jacob.
Following their somewhat misguided outing into the punk wasteland of Britain, Tom & Chris find themselves in the thick of the Russian Civil War, encountering a love triangle of sorts as an officer continues to rebuff the advances of a young woman.
