Silver Linings Playbook
Get ready for some chronic positivity, as we discuss David O Russell's 2012 Oscar favourite Silver Linings Playbook starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. We chat about why this was such a huge Obama Era hit, Robert De Niro's standout role, J-Law's breakout and Best Actress win, why Bradley Cooper is suddenly making a trio of uber-commercial movies, and David O Russell's awful personality and upcoming release Madden.

The Island of Dr. Moreau
It's one of the most disastrous and messy productions in Hollywood history, but we're taking a more sympathetic view of 1996's The Island of Dr. Moreau starring an ageing Marlon Brando and a peak-of-his-career Val Kilmer, alongside secret leading man David Thewlis.

TwentyTeens | "The Hunger Games"
It's the second edition of TwentyTeens, as Lucien and Christina continue discussing the Young Adult craze of the 2010s. This month, we're talking The Hunger Games's big screen debut in 2012, from director Gary Ross and with breakout star Jennifer Lawrence making her first appearance as Katniss Everdeen. How did this movie bridge male and female audiences, is a girl with a bow-and-arrow an instant sell for a movie, and how did Lawrence's Oscar win affect how the sequels were pitched to audiences?

Columbus
Shane and Lucien discuss the lowest-budget film we've ever covered on the show, Koganada's 2017 Sundance drama Columbus starring John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson. We assess whether these two popular actors quality as movie stars, how Koganada jumped from this to After Yang to last year's ill-fated A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, and the magic of a movie that cares this much about cool buildings.

Verity
Hey, it's me, it's Boy Party, ask us anything! This week we're discussing Michael Showalter's new thriller Verity, a pretty terrible Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. We talk about this movie's failures relative to something like The Housemaid or Gone Girl, dig into Dakota Johnson's career from Fifty Shades to Materialists and analyse Josh Hartnett's early 2000s breakout and recent comeback in Oppenheimer and Trap.

Digger
Boy Party's Tom Cruise Month comes to a close, as Shane and Lucien discuss the brand new Alejandro González Iñárritu film Digger, which has just had one of the most disastrous openings in box office history and - in our opinion - is significantly flawed. We're also joined via voice message by friend of the pod Dave Hanratty who mounts a solid defence of the film, which is dividing audiences around the world. We round off the episode with a ranking of every Tom Cruise film we've seen, and play the Box Office Game for this past weekend.
