There are some films that feel less like stories and more like memories. In this episode, we talk about Call Me By Your Name — Luca Guadagnino’s tender, aching portrait of first love, longing, and the summers that seem to exist outside of time. We explore the film’s incredible use of sound, silence, music, and nature, from the constant hum of cicadas to the intimacy of Sufjan Stevens’ soundtrack, and how every frame seems filled with heat, desire, and nostalgia. More than that, we reflect on why this film reaches so many people so deeply: the way it reminds us of our own pasts, the people we can never fully forget, and the strange pain of remembering moments that were beautiful precisely because they could not last. This episode is ultimately about the power of cinema itself — how a film can make us feel seen, understood, and transported back into parts of ourselves we thought had disappeared. Call Me By Your Name isn’t just a love story; it’s a reminder of just how emotionally truthful and overwhelming great cinema can be. Subscribe here
What happens when the system designed to protect humanity decides it knows better than us? In this episode, I dive into the chilling world of Colossus: The Forbin Project—a Cold War sci-fi that feels more relevant now than ever. From nuclear anxiety and early AI fears to questions about control and the films place in Sci Fi history. Subscribe

In this episode, I explore An Ungentlemanly Act—the BBC’s understated dramatization of the opening hours of the Falklands War—and what it reveals about Britain at a turning point in its history. Moving beyond a simple retelling, I examine the political tensions in both Britain and Argentina in 1982, and how those pressures led to a conflict neither side fully anticipated. We place the film within the wider tradition of British imperial cinema, from Zulu to The Four Feathers, and consider how it both draws from and quietly questions those narratives. At its core, the film presents a familiar British story: a small group facing overwhelming odds with restraint, professionalism, and a sense of duty—but here, that story ends in surrender rather than victory.
