077: SFFCH – F/X 2

Ant had a plan. First he would get everyone to watch ‘F/X: The Art Of Illusion’ for a podcast, and then he would spring the sequel on them as the topper! Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray, and on this occasion deals with the film ‘F/X 2: The Deadly Art Of Illusion’ from 1991. Join Rich, Ant and Abi as they chat over the cinematic fluff and oddities of this cult classic. We’re using ‘classic’ in the negotiable sense. Oh, the quaint computer clichés, the weirdness of having a private bar, a maddeningly long revenge plan and a mandatory wrestling reference all combine to make this a very spoiler filled chat indeed. Also, there’s mashed potato snow, a hotdog gun and a remote control submarine. WTF? (Ep 77, Rec 2014)

021: SFFCH – F/X

Sometimes a movie isn’t zany when you expect it to be… and that’s what we got from ‘FX: Murder By Illusion’. This time in Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray, we find Rich, Ant, Abi and Jamie jabbering on about tonal discordance, the escalation into gadgety lunacy, and an unexpected preoccupation with Bryan Brown and his pants in this 1986 thriller. For the uninitiated, pants are underwear in Britain, and not trousers. Nice moustache, Brian Dennehy good job. (Ep 21, Rec 2013)
