This month we cover Fruit Flapjack biscuits in an attempt to be more "autumnal". Oh and we also remember this is meant to be a podcast about a film game. We talk about that as well, between biscuits. Mr Birch tries to remain calm talking about Borderlands and they Misters lose their minds when the words "Ana De Armas" and "John Wick" are combined. …

It started well... Mr Smith got all excited about a film reference he immediately recognised and then, well, then it all got a bit weird. Intro music is by, you know who, and the outro music by Hidden Citizens.Oleh The Fantasy Film League

The Misters are back and they are doing a deep dive into the scores so far for the One and Done and the mini league. They also have a look at film still to come for 2024 and give a few tips on where to place your investments.

Suffering with some genuine technical issue the Misters plough on with less sound clips and more biscuits as they review the cast you *should* have bought his year. Yes it's the bi-annual unhelpful review of where you should have invested your Fuffle. Plus the start of the Blockbuster Season this week is keeping them busy and Mr Smith tries to get …

The Misters an in an alternate location this week and it's caused some technical issue. Soldiering on the boys discuss the upcoming Blockbuster season (May to July) and discuss whether it's better to go all in with Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling. Mr Birch also looks at movie tropes and Checkov's Gun comes under the spotlight today. And Tivo. So many…

So one more time before it becomes officially official. We need to talk about Bond casting and the boys try to do it without Mr Birch waxing on about Henry Cavill. This goes about as well as you would expect. They cover some of the contenders for the role and give thier own thoughts on who will be slipping into the tuxedo next. And (possibly for th…

The boys are back and uncharacteristically trying to keep it short DESPITE having to dissect Madame Webb and discuss Dune 2 AND they start badly with a massive biscuit diversion. They also remember that Bad Film Club is back next week with Morbius and it causes issues... Finally, they do quite well covering the Oscar winners in brief detail but the…

The Misters are under a tight deadline this week so they get faster and faster as we go on. You may need to slow Mr B down a bit. Also, as promised Mr B tries to explain the plot of The Beekeeper but gets totally sidetracked by the *amazing* accents. The main event this week though is a quick look all of the films coning out in 2024. There's actual…

The Misters are back, talking Oscars and trying to keep the episode length down. Apologies in advance for the term "Barbieheimer" coming back.

Music as always by the Two Steps from Hell and Hidden Citizens…

It's important you read the label on any medicine you take. If you don't you could find yourself dealing with unexpected side effect likes a gravelly voice, a dimension slipping turn into alternate realities and losing your mind when presented with an impossible casting choice. That's not really mentioned on the labels but it can happen... Mr Smith…

Well New Year, new game but before we do we have to look back on the biggest earners of 2023 and do a shout out to the top ten player of the FFL from the One and Done game and the 2023 season. We also cover some BIG changes to the way the scores are done this year. Mainly around how we score cameos and animation but we detail the whole thing out fo…

The boys are back and they are a little distracted. After clarifying a few rules for the game for players and explaining that Legion, their benevolent AI is just here to help they get totally sideline by biscuits and unavailable Joel Kinneman films. They manage to hold it together for *just* long enough to cover Wonka and the other film left for us…

The boys are back for a bit of a bumper episode. It's been a while so they're out of practice with keeping the tangents to a minimum. Mr Birch has been to see The Marvels and has some views on it. The boys also look at some of the sequels slated for next year, some good, most bad. Mr Smith has brought the biscuits to the recording and they are amaz…

Bad Film Club is back and Mr Smith is suffering for it. "Blackbird", the Michael Flately vanity project is given a rewatch from hime with the drinking rules. It's still everything we need it to be.

After it all went off the rails at the end of the last episode you join the Misters as Birch throws Smith into the Time Bunker, raises the shields and tries to put right what once went wrong. The boys once again have to repair the movie casting timeline but this time we're pretty sure it's not their fault! This time we look at some more casting Wha…

Yeah, we fuffled up. You may have had a "Cocaine Bear" flashback just then but now we present the actual episode we recorded on Sunday.. So.. Mr B has seen Fast X, Mr S tries to explain a Neil Breen film and the boys look at films to come. You know all this, you read this yesterday then got an over-excited Mr B intro from, like, 3 months ago. OK, h…

They also looks at some upcoming films and lay out a potential strategy to get lots of points. And they clarify who actually isn't directing Fast X and how it has to end before someone puts Lud…

This week we look back in time. A time of VHS (ask your parents) and having to share a TV with siblings and the boys talked about their most watched (but not necessarily favourite films).

The boys also cover off the upcoming "Festive Season" of the game and quickly cover the frankly amazing year Michell Yeoh has had. Then they really get into the weeds talking about the films that never made it to the screen for a variety of reasons. Superh…

Mister Birch went to see "Blackbird" last night. On purpose. Listen as he tries to recover and explain to Mister Smith what the hell happened.

They've been doing this long enough, you'd think they can stay on message but oh no, drop in a Santa themed actio…

Marvel as Smith's brain melts over recasting choice that could have been. We skirt with interfering with some classic 80's films and (gulp) Die Hard. They create the new verb "to Stoltz", …

Namaste... After a bit of a break the Misters are back. They cover the new mini season for this years game and look at some new films coming out in the next few months including Fantastic Beasts, Morbius and Sandra Bullock being funny.

Mr Birch also watched Infinite and was not happy about it. Speaking of bad films we cover the next Bad Film Club entry and it's a doozie... This week's …

Weird epodes title, listen to Smith reaction when he hears that line. This month the boys review The Matrix Resurrections (Birch is not happy), The King's Man and cover off the notable films for 2022. Spoilers: there seems to be a theme for next year...

Mr Smith decides the fate of our reality with the help of the Watcher (or just Mr Birch with a cloak) by choosing the Bond themes. There are a few Bond themes that might have been and a few that *should* have been. Apologies for all the singing by the way.Oleh The Fantasy Film League
