Your Turn to Choose

Gabriel chooses... DIE HARD (1988)

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 10:00:30 GMT

It's festive season at YTTC Towers and we're heading up the Nakatomi Plaza to do battle with the 12 terrorists of Christmas. Forget whether this is a Christmas film or not (the internet has resolved that one), what we really want to know is whether proto-baldy John McClane is actually motivated by jealousy of the Germans' beautiful locks in his one man campaign of vengeance.

Sophie chooses... 500 DAYS OF SUMMER (2009)

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 09:00:37 GMT

It's the film that broke the romcom mould, by not being either very funny or very romantic - yet still being able to hold a special place in alot of people's hearts. We look at such fascinating topics as: whether Tom is a whiny baby, whether Summer is a manic pixie dream girl (have a guess) and whether you can still go and sit on that famous bench. Will we want to watch this film another 500 times after this recent rewatch? There's only one way to find out... Send your thoughts and suggests to yourturntochoose@gmail.com

Gabriel chooses... THE MATRIX (1999)

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 17:29:38 GMT

Do you want to take the red pill, or do you want to do a bit of drunken boxing? This and other profound philosophical questions are (not really) answered on this week's episode of the podcast, in which we wade through Morpheous's pontifications to reach the crux of a legendary film with a fascinating legacy. Is Neo actually the one... or is he Brian Eno? There's only one way to find out... Send your thoughts and suggestions to yourturntochoose@gmail.com

Sophie chooses... LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1986)

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 10:00:24 GMT

Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood, and teaching would suit you still less - son, be a dentist, you'll be a success! This week we worship at the altar of Steve Martin and Sophie does a lot of tuneful trilling. Will Audrey II ever get his superior alternative ending of world domination?

Gabriel chooses... THE GREEN KNIGHT (2021)

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 10:00:37 GMT

We delve into Arthurian England in the highly-anticipated second episode - a land of witches, giants and sassy saints without heads. And beardy tree boys. Will the hapless Sir Gawain keep his cool or will he completely lose his head in the face of adversity? There's only one way to find out...

Sophie chooses... FAIR PLAY (2023)

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 09:00:13 GMT

The first proper film on our cinematic adventure - a Netflix thriller (one that's actually good), starring Phoebe Dinosaur and Han Solo. Is it a vehicle for feminist critique or just a couple of hours of trashy fun? There's only one way to find out... Send your thoughts and suggestions for future weeks to yourturntochoose@gmail.com

Welcome to Your Turn to Choose! We flip a coin...

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 09:00:12 GMT

Then we flip a coin to decide who is going to make the first film choice... will it be Sophie or Gabriel who gets to choose first? Send any thoughts and suggestions to yourturntochoose@gmail.com
