This week we cover off the scariest kids movie...that isn't a kids movie (it's confusing 🙈). We discuss whether you should prepare kid for life or shield them from it? the wonderful world of origami, Andy's parenting tips, and remember it's never too late to reframe your childhood as a happy one, as we watched Kubo and the Two Strings

Can you have too many Pauls/Pools in a film? 🧓🏊🎱 Should we all wear t-shirts with our name on. Do we all have an issue with a Tom? To montage or not to montage. Just some of the big topics covered in this week’s episode of The Colour of Money, and just remember, everybody goes home in a limousine.

This week we cover a documentary of Sean Connery’s holiday in the Bahamas 😁 We find out who the true James Bond is (Tom Cruise, Nik Cage, Craig David, Dave)
We debate whether Jazzercise should be performed before /during a movie, why everyone loved mink in the 60s, underwater flash mobs. And get into the deep analysis of what trauma Bond went through in his childhood. Keep an ear out for Scottish Andy, as we watch Thunderball 🔫

This week, we watch a director's passion project (Tarsem Singh, not as the DVD suggests David Fincher). We (try to) follow the story of a lover's betrayal told through the eyes of a 5 year via a land of fantasy. We marvel over the visual spectacle, and the artistic nature of the film. But wonder if it is really style over substance. Welcome to The Fall
Quote: You always stop at the same part, when it's very beautiful. Interesting.
IMDB: The Fall
This week Kev and Andy invite a guest down to the store to watch 1980s classic comedy Airplane! They discuss if you can ever really have too many jokes happening at the same time and if this is not only the first satire film they saw as kids but the first one period! Surely there's going to be a pun in this description we hear you cry...there is, and (all together now!) Don't call us Shirley! 🛫
Quote: "Don't call me Shirley"
IMDB: Airplane!
This week we go down a dark path, one where only 80s kids movies can be found. We see if we can change our guests view on fantasy movies...or is he just lost to The Nothing 😲 We learn that Al Pacino crafted his late acting style from this movie. And we cover the darkness and similarity to Total Recall and Alien, or Australia Kids movies as they are known down under 🦘

This week, we watch the ultimate film of two halves. It's funny, powerful, sad, and tearful. We cover off the delicate balance it captures, whether, as a society, we can still cope with films about upsetting topics. Andy takes on another podcast duo. And finally one of Andy's films makes it onto Kev's list.
Join us, and always remember..."Life is Beautiful
Quote: "The bigger is it, the less you see it"

This week we have a lot of questions about "video cover design aesthetic" and how it reflects on baseball and Brad Pitt specifically. How will our sports correspondent switch from football with Sly Stallone to baseball with Phillip Seymour Hoffman? Is this a baseball move or simply a Brad Pitt movie with a couple of baseball scenes? Does anyone care about the difference? Join us as we we take a walk through the data that brought us Moneyball! 💰⚾

Spend $30M in 30 days...that'll only take about 2 days in this cost-of-living crisis 😁 We dive into a good "old yarn" with one of the great comedy duos (no, not Kevin Hart & The Rock, or Brendan Fraser & Tom Cruise), Richard Pryor and John Candy. Welcome to Brewster's Millions 💲💰💵
Quote: "None of the above"
IMDB: Brewster's Millions
This week we dive into a Korean serene meditative film 🧘♀️ Set on a lake surrounded by nature, animals, dogs, cats, frogs…But is all as it seems 👀 Does the lake bring peace and harmony, are there life lessons to learn that inner peace requires a lot of work and is not gifted...or is there something else more dastardly afoot??? Welcome to “Murderer's Camp” 🔪🩸 Sorry I mean "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter...and Spring" 🌼🌞🍂⛄...🌼
Quote: "A Trip Through The Year"
This week we watch a film that Andy pitches as a top 10 comedy script and performance of all time, it's Clueless! How will we find someone who hasn't watched this to give us a fresh perspective, surely not a horror fan from Wisconsin?! Join us in the shop for a true 90s...possibly all time classic and (re) learn a whole new language!
Quote: "As If"
IMDB: Clueless
Our resident sports correspondent joins us in the shop this week, for a film that has Michael Caine, Sly Stallone, Pele, Nazis, and also somehow footlbal ⚽😳😲 We run through Pele's acting career, whether Sly can play football, WWII Bingo, the Rom Com sequel Escape from Paris. And answer the question on everyones lips...where is Steve McQueen? 👀 Join us for Michael Caine's Matrix, with a 2-4-1 pod review of Escape to Victory and ???

This week we take a journey on an uneasy and unsettling road. We take a look at a satire, that is informative, uncomfortable and funny. We discuss, crows, lions, stereotypes, suicide bombers, and walking out of the cinema. We also discuss the potential for the podcast to never end and continue into perpetuity 🦁🦁🦁🦁

This week a very special guest drops by for our bonus Christmas episode. They help us cover off usual Christmas things like; partying on the moon, school at the cinema, mince pie croissant, GBBO, and the meta world. We then move onto the lesser topics like, what is the definition of a Christmas movie, and why aren't people watching Water Babies and American Psycho in December. We finish reminding ourselves how nice it is to have a bit of magic in the world...Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄🎁🤶🎅
This week we find out who wins the ultimate game of Jenga…but will the bankers play fairly? 🤷♂️ We cover off everything regarding the Credit Crunch (or GFC), to predicting COVID, and selling CDOs to aliens. This film is a rollercoaster, and you will probably feel angry. Just remember to write it all down in a 3 star review ⭐
"This week we cover off a deep film, hitting light hearted topics like, how we want to be buried, would we stay in the bathtub, whether all films should be shot from a kids perspective, and the harsh post apocalyptic climate change world where the real winners are people who can brew moonshine 😂
