John Mackenzie and Barrie Keeffe brought Bob Hoskins' Harry Shand into the world and created the modern British gangster film. George Harrison bailed out Bruce Robinson's "Withnail and I" so that Richard E. Grant could become an inspiration for British slacker characters for decades.

Ken Loach set the bar quite high with his story of a boy and his falcon (kestrel) in "Kes", and Franc Roddam brought the Who's "Quadrophenia" to the big screen, busting out an epic gang fight featuring hundreds of extras in his first movie!

Tony Richardson's "Tom Jones" wowed audiences in the '60s with its free spirit and nods towards counter culture, all the way to a Best Picture Oscar. But it falls apart under modern scrutiny. Meanwhile, "Peeping Tom" spelled disaster for its director Michael Powell, despite being a truly interesting and transgressive movie.

Before his trilogy of epics, David Lean made us laugh by turning Charles Laughton into a buffoon in "Hobson's Choice." Meanwhile, Charles Crichton cracked us up with Alec Guinness in Ealing Studios' "The Lavender Hill Mob."

Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest James Sanford.

Our UK miniseries "You Sound Like You're From London" continues with a couple of movies that look to a future that contained within it an inevitable war. "Things to Come," written by H.G. Wells, imagines a world in which the war went on for decades, and could only be stopped by peace gas. In "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," Sam Wood shows us a more personal look at a life effected by war, and how it disrupts the connections we make.

Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest Drake Lucas [https://www.toughpigs.com/author/drake/].

We kick off our new miniseries, "You Sound Like You're From London" with a pair of fascinating movies from the 1920s. Herbert Ponting's documentary about the 1910 expedition to the South Pole is a harrowing and crucial look at the art of documentary filmmaking. And Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog" is an interesting look at the early career of one of the most famous directors of all time.

Christopher Nolan and Olivia Wilde have put out two of the best movies of the summer... and they couldn't be more different from one another.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a huge hit, so we look back a the first film in the series and this one to see how Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci performed.

On our season finale, we look at two women-directed movies from 2021, both about teenage girls coming into adulthood. You'd think they'd share a similar trajectory, but one won Best Picture at the Oscars, and the better one sits on HBO Max in relative obscurity. Here what we had to say about Sian Heder and Megan Park's movies. Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler. #rankingmovies

As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, the 2010s serve up the mumblecore classic "Your Sister's Sister" and the ultra-serious "Clemency". We look at Lynn Shelton's very funny outing starring Emily Blunt, Rosemarie Dewitt, and Mark Duplass. Chinonye Chukwu's death row drama, starring Alfre Woodard as the powerful lead, gets a lot of scrutiny this week. We also hear from Ryan Verrill about his new physical media and film distribution venture, Antenna Releasing!

Nominees/winners Kathryn Bigelow, Greta Gerwig, Chloe Zhao, Emerald Fennell, Sophia Coppola, and Jane Campion aren't the only ladies getting the spotlight here. We look at the movies of Emma Seligman, Scarlet Johan, Scarlett Johansson, Lulu Wang, Ava DuVernay, and many more.

As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, "Frida" and "Morvern Callar" take center stage. We look at Julie Taymor's biopic and guess at how much interference Harvey Weinstein inflicted on it, and we let ourselves feel sad as we watch Lynne Ramsay's "Morvern Callar" and talk about how it relates to her newest film, "Die My Love." And stick around to the end to hear Jake give his predictions for the 98th Academy Awards/2026 Oscars.

As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, "Yentl" and "Pet Sematary" take center stage. We look at Barbra Streisand's directorial debut has us enjoying the performances and the politics and being confused by the music. Mary Lambert's adaptation of the Stephen King book has us scratching our heads entirely. Soap opera acting, dangling plot points, too many themes (or are there no themes at all?) make this fun to talk about after being tough to watch.

In the 1960s, Hollywood studios hired virtually no women to direct their films. In Europe, women were directing trailblazing movies. We take a look at Agnes Varda's "Cleo from 5 to 7" and Věra Chytilová's "Daisies".

Ida Lupino's "Not Wanted" and Dorothy Arzner's "Dance, Girl, Dance" are discussed in terms of what they said about their directors and cast. Then we turn to Wanda Jakubowska's "The Last Stage", a movie made by a Holocaust survivor, filmed in the concentration camp at which he was imprisoned.

Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira" stood tall as a groundbreaking animated film, even as there rest of the industry struggled. In the USA in particular, Disney dropped the ball several times throughout the decade, and the rest of the landscape was made up of Saturday morning cartoon film spinoffs made to sell toys. "Transformers: The Movie" is a prime (pun intended) and shameful example of the trend.

The 1970s were a strange time for animation. While Disney struggled through what fans now call its “dark age,” other studios and artists were breaking rules and redefining the medium.

In this episode of Never Did It, Season 2: Animation Boogaloo, Kevin Ford returns to the show to unpack two icons of the era:

Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood (1979) — Hanna-Barbera’s surreal, self-aware take on fame and Saturday-morning TV.

The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) — the debut feature from Hayao Miyazaki, launching a new era of Japanese animation.

We explore how the decade’s creative chaos, from Disney’s slowdown to the rise of international auteurs, shaped everything that came after, including the animation renaissance of the 1980s and ’90s.

If you’re into Disney history, anime origins, or forgotten cartoon experiments, you’ll love this deep dive into one of animation’s strangest chapters.

Both "Animal Farm", Joy Batchelor John Halas's film based on the Orson Welles novel, and "The Snow Queen", Lev Atamanov's animated fairy tale, were part of efforts to end the Cold War. One was a CIA propaganda move, the other a diplomatic attempt at reducing tensions. Can you guess which is which?

Watching Oliver Stone's "Platoon" in 2025, next to Alex Garland's "Warfare" is a hell of an exercise. Watching Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters" in 2025, seeing his current wife as a child actor in the movie, is a depressing image.

It's Sidney Lumet’s tense Cold War thriller Fail Safe, starring Henry Fonda and Walter Matthau, and Disney’s sun-drenched mystery The Moon-Spinners, directed by James Neilson and featuring Hayley Mills and Eli Wallach.

Josef von Sternberg helmed "The Last Command", starring Emil Jannings and William Powell. It's... odd. But King Vidor's "The Crowd", starring a to-that-point unknown cast, has to be considered one of the most technically influential movies of all time.
