Film vs Film Podcast
This is a film podcast where we pick our favourite film topic, like a director, actor or genre, any subject related to film. Martin the host and a guest, each pick a film to discuss from that topic. We discuss them in three different aspects of each film, Directing, screenplay and acting. Then we rank each aspect out of ten. Plus we pick our favourite shot or scenes, lines and performances. At the end we tally the points and see who wins.

This time with a twist, he's grown his hair out in, Wake Up Dead Man now available on Netflix. As Wake Up Dead Man is a detective mystery story, we are going to focus the episode on the Whodunnit genre. Discussing all things Whodunnits, is a debutant guest Heather J Stewart a film reviewer and now the European correspondent for the Revisionist Almanac.
Warning we will be talking SPOILERS.
Martins turn to go first and is going for the Robert Altman classic, Gosford Park with every British actor known to man involved. On this one we talk about how on earth Robert Altman directs this massive cast beautifully. We talk about how tonally this works so well with so many storylines going on. We talk about why the film doesn't feel like a whodunnit and why it almost feels a parody and then hits you with an emotional gut punch at the end. Plus we talk about dodgy accents. IMDB page
