037: SFFCH – In The Mouth Of Madness

Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray brings you our chat about ‘In The Mouth Of Madness’. This 1995 effort from John Carpenter was chosen by Jamie, raises all kinds of questions, such as: Is it about an insurance investigator’s descents into madness or the end of the world as we know it? Are books pure evil? (There is a reason we only review films.) Should we all carry a tiny horn around with us just to annoy people? Is Sutter a name? Seriously who calls a character Sutter Cane? And what the hell is was this film about? Join the gang of  Rich, Jamie and Abi as they fail to answer these questions but still chat about this creepy and weird horror flick. (Ep 37, Rec 2012)

036: SFFCH – Mr Nanny

‘Mr Nanny’ was released in 1993 and is still not expunged from history, so ‘Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray’ considers it fair game. Join Rich, Abi and Ant as they pile through one of Hulk Hogan’s earliest cinematic efforts and wonder at the evils of little children and where the subtle dividing line between comic violence and sadistic torture really lies. Also, much wrestling talk as the true reasoning behind this choice becomes clear. (Ep 36, Rec 2013)

035: SFFCH – Amos & Andrew

Nic Cage and Samuel L. Jackson! What could you want from a film? This time Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray is talking about ‘Amos and Andrew’ from 1993, and we think it might be some bizarre transitional Cage between total loon and serious actor. Oh, and there’s Dabney Coleman too, a plot that spirals into parody, the great Nic Cage hair debate, prejudice in films, a parallel with Die Hard 3 and the great Bob Balaban, So there is more than enough for Rich, Jamie and Abi to chew over. So listen in or will call the Sheriff on ya. (Ep 35, Rec 2013)

034: SFFCH – Posse

Anthony has brought Billy Zane back into the Film Bin Crew’s lives with his choice for this Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray. Yes, it’s ‘Posse’ from 1993, which admittedly doesn’t feature Zane much but someone does uppercut a horse so we’re still in the positive side of hamminess. Join Rich, Ant, Abi and Jamie as they go over this film and think about Western tropes and parodies, and debate the Zane-iness of it all. (Ep 34, Rec 2013)

Join Rich, Jamie and Abi as they become enmeshed in what turned out to be a well-loved film. Pierce Brosnan plays a washed up and soulsick hitman who befriends a normal businessman and entangles their lives together for better and worse. So were did the bull fighting come? Can Brosnan do an Irish accent ever and does being Irish make any difference? How will the woman called Bean react to her husband’s new buddy? Pop on your oversized sombrero and listen in. (Ep 33, Rec 2013)

032: SFFCH – Runaway Train

‘Runaway Train’ from 1985 is on the loose in this episode of ‘Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray’. Join Rich, Abi and Ant as they tackle the snow-swept and arduous escape of two degenerate criminals and their inevitable trip on a loco loco. How hard is it to make Jon Voight look like a criminal? Was Rebecca De Mornay parachuted into the plot? Was Rich alone in liking the movie? Is Eric Roberts a good guy or a bad guy? Will any old farts have heart attacks? We attempt to answers these questions and more, listen in. (Ep 32, Rec 2013)

031: SFFCH – The Ninth Configuration

Apparently the ‘Exorcist’ series has a sort of sequel and it was called ‘The Ninth Configuration’ from 1980. This time it’s Jamie’s choice, so please join him, Rich, Ant and Abi as they go through the madness of a possibly lunatic fake psychiatrist being assigned to a castle asylum for mad soldiers and the results that ensue. Yes, Jamie is a bit obsessed with Jason Miller, but there’s philosophy in this movie so everyone gets quite interested! (Ep 31, Rec 2013)
