Finally! We did it. After 106 episodes Scott has finally been able to leap to a film he’s been wanting to discuss here since day one. This week we leap with Bruce Willis to 1998 Chirstmas classic Die Hard. Are the rest of us into it as much as Scott? Listen and find out. We hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with Owen Wilson to classic 1998 sci-fi/action disaster film Armageddon. Scott brings us here with the first of his three leaps. Does this film hold up? We discover this and more and hope you enjoy this episode.

Something a bit lighter this week as we leap to 2011 romantic comedy Midnight In Paris for the last of Glenn’s three films. A favourtie of Glenn’s, but unseen my Scott and Mike… what will they think? We leapt here with cinematographer Darius Khondji.

This week we leap to 2002 David Fincher thriller Panic Room. This film stars Jodie Foster, a young Kristen Stewart, and the always great Forest Whittaker. This is Glenn’s second leap of his three and hopefully gets things back on track with a director and genre we all like… don’t we?

This week we stay in 2005, with another superhero film – this time superhero comedy Sky High. Glenn leapt here with stunt person Heidi Moneymaker. 

Mike’s third and final leap for the season is with Peter Stormare to 2005 superhero horror film Constantine. We have journeyed all the way from 2006 back to 2005 with Mike’s three films this time and what a ride it’s been! While it may only feel like one year of cinema, we really journeyed from 480 BC, to early 1800s, to contemporary LA. Where will Glenn take us next?

This week we leap to Mike's second film choice of his three with Lena Headey to another historical film - but this time with fantasy and magic added - 2005 fantasy adventure The Brothers Grimm. This film also stars Matt Damon and Heath Ledger so opens up many interesting possibilities for Mike's final leap of the season!

This week for our 100th episode Michael takes us to a favourite film of his - 2006 action/adventure 300. We leapt here with composer Tyler Bates.

This week we leap with Kevin Bacon to the 2010 superhero comedy/action film Super! An interesting film with some mixed responses from us...

This week we take a giant leap to the classic Ron Howard historical space drama from 1995 Apollo 13. We leapt here with cinematographer Dean Cundey. We hope you enjoy our review!

This week Scott shocks us all by picking average 2006 Christmas romance film The Holiday when leaping with Kate Winslet. We discuss this film and more and hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with director James Cameron to the biggest blockbuster of the 90s - Titanic. It has been 25+ years since this film was released. This is one of Glenn's favourites, but are Mike (who is not a fan of Leo) and Scott (who is generally not a fan of films over 2 hours) into it? Join us for this fun discussion and find out!

This week we leap with composer James Horner to one of Mike's favourite films - 1986 sci-fi Aliens. But what do the rest of us think of it, and do we regard as highly as many seem to?

This week we stay in 1994, leaping with stunt person Jim Dunn to the early Brad Pitt drama Legends of the Fall. We discuss how beautiful Brad Pitt’s hair is, and also talk a little bit about the film. Hope you enjoy.

This episode we leap with Point Break composer Mark Isham to the 1994 action sci-fi JCVD film Timecop. Join us as we discuss this fun but flawed film. We hope you enjoy.

For this episode we go further back in time to 1991 for classic action/surfing/bank robber film Point Break. We leapt here with Tom Sizemore and had a lot of fun revisiting this classic. We hope you enjoy this episode.

This week we leap with Ewan McGregor to 2001 war film Black Hawk Down. Maybe not everyone's go-to film when they think of Ewan McGregor, but we go there anyway. Is Ewan convincing in this kind of role? We discuss this and more. Hope you enjoy.

For some reason we leap back to Michael Bay again - this time to 2005's sci-fi action thriller The Island. Join us as we discuss if this film is worth watching. It does have a great cast, but does that mean it's a great movie? We discuss this and more. Hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with composer James Newton Howard to Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx 2004 action thriller Collateral. Is this film as good as it seems? And how is Jamie Foxx clearly the main character but also supporting actor apparently according to Oscar nominations? We discuss this and more... We hope you enjoy.

This week we leap with Julia Roberts for the first time to 2007 war comedy Charlie Wilson's War. This is also the first time we've had the chance to discuss a Tom Hanks movie. With this cast, and an Aaron Sorkin script, surely we all loved it! Didn't we? Listen to find out...

How could we not leap with Spielberg?! This week we leap again with Steven to one of his many classics - this time to family film Hook starring Robin Williams. We discuss this interesting take on Peter Pan and the great Robin Williams. We hope you enjoy.

This week it's back to Spielberg as we leap with Paul Dano to 2022 coming-of-age drama The Fabelmans. We enjoy discussing a film about a young boy obsessed with film making, and how this film relates to aspects of Spielbergs life. We hope you enjoy listening.

This week we leap to 2012 time-travel action film Looper. We arrived here through actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Surely from here we leap to Die Hard with Bruce Willis? But first, what did we think of this time travel classic?

This week we leap from one of Heath Ledger's best roles, to one of his earliest roles, 1999 romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You. What did we think of this one? Is it wrong for grown men whole love action movies to also enjoy the odd romcom? Of course not! Unless it is... listen and find out!

This week we leap with recent Oscar winner Cillian Murphy to Christopher Nolans second (and best?) Batman film The Dark Knight. We discuss the great Heath Ledger and what we thought of this action packed film. We hope you enjoy.

Season 4 is finally here and we start with one of Mike's picks as he leaps with Frequency editor David Rosenbloom to Transcendence which the other two of us had never heard of. Is there a reason we haven't heard of it? Or is this an undiscovered gem? We discuss this and more in our first episode of season 4!

This week we are joined by another special guest - Steph from Psychocinematic who had to leap from The Guilty with Jake Gyllenhaal who was chosen by our last guest Kevin from K J and A Podcast. Steph chose to take us to 2014 crime thriller Nightcrawler.

For our third guest episode we are joined by Kevin from K J and A Podcast to discuss 2021 crime thriller The Guilty after leaping from the last guest podcast with director Antoine Fuqua. An interesting movie, and a fun chat. We hope you enjoy.

3 Seasons done! This special bonus episode we discuss our highlights of season 3, what we would change, what we enjoyed, and celebrate how far we've come. We're not slowing down anytime soon though. Season 4 will be following shortly after a couple more bonus special guest episodes. We hope you enjoy this wrap up of or third (and possibly best yet!) season.

This week we leap 23 years back in time with Michael Cera to this 2000 crime-drama-mystery film Frequency. The final film of season 3!

This week we leap with the excellent Margo Robbie to a more recent film – 2023’s adventure-comedy-fantasy-toy movie Barbie. Will three middle-aged guys enjoy this film, or are we not the target audience? Who knows? 

This week we leap to something a bit lighter, with sound person James Mather to 2013 time travel rom-com About Time. A first watch for the two of us that aren't rom-com fans... so what did we think...?

This week we leap with foley artist John Roesch to 2022 action drama Top Gun: Maverick. Can old man Cruise still play a convincing action role? Join us as we discuss this and more!

This week we leap with composer Mark Mothersbaugh to one of his many great films to revisit classic Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore. Is it as funny as it was when it came out in 1996? We find out!

This week Scott surprises everyone by leaping to 2023 classic Cocaine Bear. We again leap with a casting person, this time Debra Zane.

For Mike’s third leap we leap with composer David Newman to Tim Allen sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest. Another week of watching spaceships flying around. We discuss this, how great Alan Rickman is, and some other things before Scott chooses next weeks film!

This week we leap with Morena Baccarin to Joss Whedon’s 2005 Firefly follow up Serenity. Obviously one of Mike’s favourite films, but will it score highly once we all rate it?

This week it's back to one of Ryan Reynolds with one of his most popular roles - Deadpool. The first of Mike's three leaps takes us to this 2016 action/comedy. Join us as we discuss if it is actually any good. Obviously Mike thinks so...

After an unbearable wait, this week we leap (finally!) with Nicolas Cage to recent 2022 action comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. We discuss our love of Nic Cage (again), cageisms, and what we thought of this film. (Spoiler: actually quite bearable).

This week we leap with the great James Gandolfini, to a very different role. From playing a wild thing, to a different kind of wild, in the 1999 crime thriller 8mm. Back again to a Nicolas Cage film, and a quite dark one... what fun... where will we leap from here? Can we ignore Nic? Surely not?

Let the wild rumpus start! We're back to our regular programming with the hugely fun/depressing Spike Jonze 2009 fantasy adventure Where The Wild Things Are! We leapt here with Aussie actor Angus Sampson though he is barely recognisable in this. Did we love this movie? We certainly enjoyed discussing it, and hope you enjoy listening.

We continue our special guest episodes this week with a friend of the show and huge film fan - Bryan Salvage. Bryan had to chose a Hans Zimmer composed film and struggled with the many great options but decided on 2004 historical adventure King Arthur.  

Join us for our first episode featuring a special guest! Our first guest is long time listener and good mate of the hosts – Wayne Reynolds! As we aren’t leaping from anywhere for this special first episode we started as anyone would expect – with Nicolas Cage – and we discuss 1996 action classic The Rock. Join us for our take on this film, along with our guest Wayne and relive this classic film.

Time for another horror film - this time leaping with Australian actor Rose Byrne. We discuss 2010's Insidious - our third film in a row made by Australian filmmakers! Will we enjoy this as much as the last two? Join us and find out!

It’s December! And this year we are doing our first Christmas special as we review 1984’s Gremlins! Join us for this Christmas chat where we discuss this classic, where it fits in our Christmas movie rotation (if at all), and our other favourite Christmas films. It’s a fun episode – happy Christmas!

This week we leap to another Australian classic – one of Heath Ledgers early films – 1999 crime comedy Two Hands. We leapt here from The Dish with aussie actor Tom Long.

This week Sam Neill takes us to a much more recent past, Australia in the 1960s for a classic Australian comedy based on true events in Parkes, NSW - a town that played a key role in the first mission to take people to the moon - 2000's The Dish.

This week we leap with Steven Spielberg to everyone's favourite 1993 classic dinosaur movie Jurassic Park.

This week we leap to recent Spielberg adventure film Ready Player One. Join us as we relive the 80s and discuss the adventures of Wade Watts in the Oasis.

Join us this week as we enjoy Dick, the 1999 comedy starring Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams. We discuss all the things we love about Dick, and some of the things that could have been better. While we agree Dick can be a lot of fun, some of us prefer to be more adventurous when it comes to watching films. We leapt here with Ryan Reynolds from Michael Bay disaster 6 Underground.
