Feb 11, 202400:32:47Tap to summarizeWelcome to a very special episode of Film Flam. Colin and Sean traipse through the first ten films they've covered and pit the films against each other in a gauntlet to decide the crown jewel of Sean's worst introduction. The boys start out by discussing box office whims before plowing through ten completely disparate and incomparable films and comparing them unceremoniously. Have the FilmFlam boys grown as viewers and critics? Will they agree on favorite films? Will cone shaped bras be discussed at length? Tune in to find out.

Transcribe →David Fincher's "The Game" (1997)
Feb 4, 202400:43:31Tap to summarizeFinch me, I must be dreaming! In this episode, Colin and Sean discuss David Fincher’s sequel to Seven Pounds, The Game, an exciting and twisty thriller designed to make you question who you are and what a game is. Colin and Sean pay homage to a courageous but disgraced Film Flammer who put his name on the line, and came out worse for wear and with nothing gained. But is he still better off than gamer Nicholas Van Orten? Tune in to find out. Email us at realfilmflampod@gmail.com

Transcribe →Withnail and I
Jan 21, 202400:57:09Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Colin and Sean gaily rendezvous through the 1987 comedy/drama Withnail and I. They discuss the dysfunctional, magnetic, alcoholism-fueled friendship of Withnail and Marwood, which apparently Colin took as a call to boozing (Sean prudently abstained). The pair also discusses the (irrelevant) differences between euros and pounds, why Colin is passionate about stop motion film, and the importance of humility in making it to the big leagues (like being a top podcaster).

Transcribe →Touch of Evil
Jan 10, 202400:48:25Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Sean characteristically fucks up the intro before realizing that Colin fucked up the watching, opting to save time by watching an abridged version of the movie. None of this takes away from both of their love for Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil, which owes to its beautiful shots, incredible acting, and interesting clashes of criminal justice philosophies. Not that the Letterboxd Losers can appreciate any of that. And don’t worry, all the things you have come to love about Film Flam remain the same: Colin continues to assert dominance over Sean through his better audio setup while Sean proudly records through an old Coors Lite can, Colin keeps dreaming of becoming a cone-shaped bra, and listeners who have not watched the movie still don’t receive even passing consideration or respect.
