Despite his better judgment, Dan said yes to Simon's request to discuss Oscar nominations. So, uh, enjoy that. Then there's a review of the first ever Star Trek TV movie. Simon has a look at the under-seen Oscar nominee The Brutalist. And Dan talks up the Bob Dylan music biopic A Complete Unknown.

Yeah, it's a weird week on the Screen Watching podcast. We have a lot to talk about, but none of it seems to be what we should be talking about this week. Like, Emilia Perez is in Australian cinemas, but we should have talked about it months ago in line with the US release. And Dan should be talking about Severance season 2, but there were no screeners made available.

So, this week:

• Emilia Perez (in cinemas)
• Wolf Man (in cinemas)
• Mister8 (SBS On Demand)
• Everyone Else Burns (SBS On Demand)
• Homicide: Life on The Street (SBS On Demand)

And, uh, more.

Did horror movie fan Simon Foster say "Yesferatu" to the new Robert Eggers film Nosferatu? Will Dan stop gushing over The Pitt? And why didn't Simon talk about Conclave as his featured review?

Oh... and what is with all of the beeped language in this week's episode?

Each week on Screen Watching Simon & Dan review the movies and TV shows. But this week the guys are looking forward at 2025. What are the movies and TV shows they are excited about?

Yes, you'll hear some thoughts on the upcoming Max show The Pitt, the long-awaited final (???) Mission: Impossible film, Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17, the new Superman film, and a bunch more. Join us, won't you?

This week in a special Post-Christmas, Pre-NYE celebratory podcast, join Simon Foster and Dan Barrett as they offer reviews of A Real Pain and Laid, along with their top 5 movies and shows in 2024.

In our big show before Christmas, Simon checks out prequel Mufasa, Dan is ready to explode with volcanic Netflix drama La Palma, then there's a quick look at Netflix's Carry On and Max's James Gunn superhero adjacent cartoon Creature Commandos.

Then, because it's Christmas, the podcast winds out with some Christmas chatter.

It's our week before the week before Christmas episode, which as we all know if the most meaningful of them all.

This week on the podcast we look at the film everyone is too embarrassed to buy a ticket to: Kraven The Hunter. There's also the quietly excellent Steven Moffatt series Douglas Is Cancelled. And hen there's Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow's new Netflix comedy No Good Deed.

A HUGE week for us on the podcast. Simon embraces his inner 10 year-old and blasts off with the new kiddie Star Wars show The Skeleton Crew. Dan remains the mature-minded co-host and looks at spy thrillers Black Doves on Netflix and Paramount+'s The Agency.

Each week on the podcast TV critic Dan Barrett and film critic Simon Foster bicker and argue about the movies and shows they have watched. This week:

• Heretic (in cinemas now)
• Get Millie Black (Streaming on Max in the US, Binge in Australia)
• Your Monster (in cinemas now)
• It's Florida, Man (Streaming on Max in the US, Binge in Australia)

A big week on the podcast with the inevitable smash hit Wicked (in cinemas), new Ted Danson sitcom Man on The Inside (Netflix), Goodrich (in cinemas), Blitz (Apple TV+).

Hold the line!  Stay with me!  If you find yourself on a podcast, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled.  For you are reviewing Gladiator 2 and new Disney+ series Say Nothing in Elysium, and you’re already dead!  Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.
