  Finch (2021)

  Aug 2, 20261h 29mS1

  After an almost two-year hiatus (can’t quite remember why now), Amblin returns with the first film released after we started this podcast: Miguel Sapochnik’s 2021 streaming title FINCH. It was a strange decision for this production house to acquire the character rights to the Slough-based sales rep played by Ralph Ineson in ‘The Office’, but– Oh, hang on, wrong Finch. This one is played by Tom Hanks and is attempting to navigate the post-apocalyptic US so that his robot pal Jeff (Caleb Landry-Jones) can look after his dog Goodyear (Seamus) when he’s gone. Together we talk about the welcome note of hope this movie brings to the dystopian sci-fi genre, the wonderful visual effects work involved and the AppleTV+ of it all.

  Review of the 10s

  Jul 19, 20262h 19mS1

  It’s been a more prolific decade for Amblin than the previous one, but does that translate into quality? Throughout 18 films – including seven Spielbergs, five sequels, three mo-cap showcases, two Josh Gad dog spirit rotations and one instance of digital fur technology – the production house has reached into its past while also trying to figure out what the future looks like, to mixed results. But there were still plenty of Good Boys, Bit Players and all-round Surprises to choose from as we looked back over the 2010s and separated the Abe Lincolns from the Munkustraps. It’s been a fun ride. Roll on the 2020s! Follow the podcast on Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!

  Men in Black: International (2019) with Anna Smith

  Jun 21, 20261h 35mS1

  We’re back in black… again! But in the place of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, in the place of Barry Sonnenfeld is F. Gary Gray and in the place of those New York-based besuited agents is MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL. Joining us to discuss the 2019 would-be franchise-rebooter is host and co-founder of Girls on Film podcast Anna Smith, and together we navigate the choppy production, the flattening Marvelisation of it all and the flickers of genuine chemistry that do end up making it through. Does Andy get to deploy ‘Nod Ya Head’? Listen to find out. You can follow Anna Smith on Instagram at @annasmithfilmcritic, and listen to her podcast Girls on Film wherever you get your podcasts.

  A Dog's Journey (2019) with Harley Mumford

  May 24, 20261h 22mS1

  It’s time to bid adieu once and for all to that wretched Josh Gad dog spirit as we close out our canine duology with the final Amblin W. Bruce Cameron adaptation to date (please god let that remain the case), 2019’s A DOG’S JOURNEY. Glutton-for-punishment Harley Mumford re-joins us to once again dig into the exploits of Bailey, who this time is tasked with ensuring each reincarnation tracks down CJ, the granddaughter of Ethan, to keep her on the straight-and-narrow and ensure she remains unblinkingly judgemental of everyone she encounters who isn’t an angelic corn-fed dog-lover (Editor’s Note: Rein it in, Josh). You can follow Harley and Fandomentals on Instagram and Bluesky, as well as listen to his catalogue of episodes wherever you're listening to this podcast.
