Cinema Bing Bong returns a second time this month to go through the programme of the New Zealand International Film Festival, beginning with quite an extended discussion about what in Gosden's name is going on with the festival and finishing up with some motivational brain-drain content about what's showing at Melbourne International Film Festival. Featuring an interactive aspect where you can email in and say if you think Amelia was the asshole in two situations, the new phrase 'doing my coming to terms with myself', the innovative concept of not seeing movies if you can see the same stuff outside and some recommendations for listeners in loveless marriages.

LA CHIMERA & CHALLENGERS: Amelia's Boyfriends and Glossing Over the Time Period

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, May 27, 2024 • Duration 02:00:24

May's Cinema Bing Bong is a treasure trove of delights: After seven years Amelia has finally listened to Rebecca about the films of Alice Rohrwacher and immediately turned bisexual looking at Josh O'Connor. The tables have turned and Rebecca has overthought how to pronounce Franz Rogowski so much she forgot it has a g in it. A damning report on the cinemagoers of Auckland's North Shore and a NEW game.

Films referenced: La Chimera (2023) + Happy as Lazzaro (2018) + The Invisible Life of Euridíce Gusmão (2019) + Challengers (2024) + Evil Does Not Exist (2024) + The Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021) + In the Aisles (2018)

HORROR 2024 and CIVIL WAR: Kick It Like Beckham

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 01:38:39

A thrilling new episode of Cinema Bing Bong, which includes two new games to play along with!

Spooky scary! Amelia's been watching horror movies by herself, in April. Luckily for the listeners who are yet to see Immaculate (2024) or any of the other American Nun Movies, she's bleeped out the spoilers. Rebecca cried all the way through Civil War (2024), but the real thing to cry over is how Amelia takes on average four years to watch any of her recommendations. Discourse topics: is New Zealand just like Finland? Which director would you want to direct the film of your funeral? Which is worse: using AI or producing films in the UAE? What are refuse collectors called in Australia? Amelia gets given a crash course in pronouncing foreign names and so much more, this month on the #1 ranked film podcast in New Zealand.

Note: Sadly there are minor sound issues in this episode! Listen on low quality computer speakers and you won't notice.

Films referred to:
Immaculate (2024)
The First Omen (2024)
Late Night with the Devil (2023)
Look Around You (2002)
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004)
Debs (2004)
Civil War (2024)
Possession (1981)
The films of Aki Kaurismäki

MAESTRO, THE ZONE OF INTEREST and DUNE 2: Dr Hazelnut and the Banality of Evil

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 01:58:06

Beware the Ides of March—awards season is over and no one in Australasia can agree on how to pronounce Dune. Amelia has become the nation's foremost Frank Herbert fanatic and can't stop filling her boots with geriatric spice. The only Sandra Hüller movie Rebecca saw in 2023 was the unpopular Sisi und Ich. This episode contains a dramatic reading of FRISCO, the script that might seem like it was plagiarised by The Holdovers to people who saw it between two plane seats after being awake for 36 hours. Amelia is inconsistently bothered by anachronisms but insists she's still fun. Rebecca wishes she could love everything especially unallocated seating. Javier Bardem doesn't know how to drive.

* Spoiler Alert * — Spoilers for the end of Love Lies Bleeding from 1:19:15 – 1:31:27

Maestro (2023) | The Zone of Interest (2023) | The Holdovers (2023) | Dune 2 (2024) | Love Lies Bleeding (2024) | Perfect Days (2023) | Sweet November (2001) | Rebecca (2020) | Sexy Beast (2001) | Birth (2004) | Schindler's List (1993) | Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023) | Sisi und Ich (2023)

Note: If you are neurodivergent and can't watch a three-hour film with your feet on the floor, your posture is trash and your thumbs can touch your forearms, it's time to look into hypermobility spectrum disoders

Correction: It's Charlize Theron who's in Sweet November, not Meg Ryan, which is WORSE

The Anti-Oppenheimer: Oscars Special and 2023 in Survey

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, February 29, 2024 • Duration 01:49:17

Amelia and Rebecca are back with a new podcast that's tenfold less niche. It's just about movies!

In this episode, we find out what was good and what was a waste of 25 Australian dollars in 2023. We hear a summary of all the Best Picture nominees but for some reason only what Amelia thinks should win Best Animated Feature. Amelia refers to movies as the picture play. Rebecca says which films of 2023 were autistic. We ask the big questions like, 'What's the most racist film you've ever seen?' and whether at 30 you have to leave romanticising cannibalism behind and get into lesbian wives. Amelia has her illusions shattered that not every person alive in the 2000s owned a DVD of O Brother Where Art Thou. Rebecca does some Ferrari accents. We hear about the situation in Phuket.

Films referred to: Strange Way of Life (2023) ○ Remembering Every Night (2022) ○ Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021) ○ Maestro (2023) ○ May December (2023) ○ Tár (2022) ○Theatre Camp (2023) ○ Bottoms (2023) ○ American Fiction (2023) ○ Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) ○ Poor Things (2023) ○ Nyad (2023) ○ Across the Spiderverse (2023) ○ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) ○ Madame Web (2024) ○ OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) ○ Walker (1987) ○ The Letter (1940) ○ Ferrari (2023) ○ Anatomy of Fall (2023) ○ Perfect Days (2023) ○ Bones and All (2022)

Olá e bem-vindo ao Cinema do Binge Bong – It's the night before the Oscars and Rebecca is crying because I'M STILL HERE has a predicted 2% chance of winning Best Picture.

I'VE SEEN BORAT, I'VE BEEN TO MEXICO CITY: Oscar Nominations and Gossip Special

Season 2 · Episode 1

Sunday, February 2, 2025 • Duration 01:48:39

Cinema Bing Bong is back for a new year with all the latest celeb news (as of 31/01). The Oscar nominations are out and everyone's gone racist. Yucko: we talk about the sociolinguistic limitations of AI as a catch-all term. We continue to watch films about people who are not that famous where we come from. Can there be spoilers for real stuff that really happened? What was the worst part of Emilia Peréz? Amelia is the world's biggest Pete Seeger defender. We go through songs that are way more popular in New Zealand than anywhere else.

Listen right to the end for an important PS
