We're diving into the wild, weird and war-torn world of Christian Slater!

This week’s Banger or Bomb puts Twisted and Windtalkers under the microscope. Neither of us had seen them, but are they hidden gems worth your time or better left buried in the back of the DVD bin?

Dan and Frankie talk excitedly about a highly underrated film, one that captures the true spirit of punk, Dinner in America. An absolute must-see film, hopefully you'll have an appetite for this brilliant movie after listening!

Kicking off their series on Kevin Smith's Askewniverse, Dan and Frankie begin with the movie that started it all - Clerks! A film that holds a particularly fond place in Dan's heart, our pair manage to talk about counter culture for 37 minutes ("In a row?") Enjoy!

After Frankie recently became obsessed with the works of Al Pacino, she discovered 1989's Sea of Love and a love affair blossomed. Dan soon checked it out and couldn't believe it had taken him this long to see it. Now, our podcast heroes get to discuss it in depth. Enjoy!

It's a chilly morning so I'm inside with a coffee, preparing for upcoming podcast episodes.

Dan and Frankie Go To Hollywood @danandfrankie.bsky.social · Jun 13

New episode out now!

In this rebranded segment (formerly Without Consent), Dan and Frankie make each other watch a movie that is near and dear to them, in this case, the Pacino classic, Carlito's Way, and the sadly prophetic Idiocracy.

Sometimes bad things usher in the good. We won't have an episode out this week, but we're working on a revamp so we'll return early June with a new look and a new schedule - but the same old banter!

Watched my 17th Pacino film for the year and it was one of the big ones! Finally I see the famous dance scene, the "hoo-ah" that everyone keeps saying to me, and his award winning performance - that is SO good, you really feel for him at times, even though he's awful to people.

Sure at one point I worried it was going to trigger an anxiety attack because of how the sound was, but it didn't and I just enjoyed (for lack of a better word) the tense experience of watching this.

Hi everyone! Yes we are late again, but we'll be making up for our absence with a two part episode! We had a lot of fun chatting for hours with our special guest Liam, a movie fan who is also an expert* on one of our featured movies. Look out for part 1 soon!

Hi everyone, life got in the way so there's no episode from us this fortnight, which sadly means you need to wait 2 more weeks to hear what Dan thinks of High School Musical! ~Frankie
