Lockdown Film Club

Are you a guy? Who likes films? And beer? Then welcome! We are just like you. We are 10-ish guys (sometimes more, sometimes less – it depends). We watch films and then we get together and we talk about them over beers. Join us.

Lockdown Film Club

First Man (2018)

October 16, 2020 • Dave and mates • Season 1 • Episode 15

In this week's pod we review First Man (Netflix), the Neil Armstrong biopic starring Ryan Gosling. Listen to find out what we made of it. Highlights:

- Dan compares astronauts to Uber drivers

- Conspiracy theorist Matt keeps bringing the conversation back to whether the moon landing really took place

- Ryan Gosling impersonator and super fan Paul is pained to admit that he disliked the film. Don't worry, Paul, I don't think Ryan is listening.

- We discuss Ryan Gosling's back catalogue and recommend some hidden gems.

- Dave seems to think that Faye, his wife, liked the film because of all the 'science and machines'. And not because of Ryan Gosling. Good one, Dave.

- We take a trip down memory lane with a quiz based upon the first 10 films we reviewed in Lockdown Film Club.

Next week's film is The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Netflix).

Cheers!
