The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – I’m Thinking of Ending Things Ciao, cinemaphiles! This week Ian and Dave get weird – like crawling into someone’s head weird, like erasing your ex-girlfriend from your brain weird, like buying a house on fire weird.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit Ciao, cinemaphiles! Sorry we’re late we our newest episode! It’s kind of a long story and you’ll have to listen to Sneaky Dragon Episode 455 to hear all the gory details.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Ghostbusters Ciao, cinemaphiles! This week things get a little scary and more than a little ironical as we head back – way back – to the 1980s and watch a movie we like to call Ghostbusters!

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – John Carter Ciao, cinemaphiles! Guess what? You voted and you voted right! This week Ian and Dave watched the flopperoo John Carter, and had some thoughts. Why didn’t it succeed? Was it any good? Could it be better? Why can’t Disney do a better job marketing their films? (Yes, that’s right, we’re looking at you too, Lone Ranger!) Have you asked yourself these questions too? Well, let Ian and Dave fansplain it for you. Thanks for listening. 2020-06-241h 59

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – The Princess Bride Ciao, cinemaphiles! This week on Fansplainers, Ian and Dave wash the taste of The Emoji Movie out of their mouths with an enjoyable re-view of the sparkling and wonderful The Princess Bride – a film that found its legs in home video and thus lives in the rosy glow of childhood nostalgia.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – The Emoji Movie Ciao, cinemaphiles! Well, you voted. And you voted WRONG!!! That’s right, Ian and Dave had to watch The Emoji Movie.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Monty Python and the Holy Grail Ciao, cinemaphiles! A couple of weeks ago, Ian and Dave headed to the polls and asked you which of three films you’d like to hear us talk about. By an overwhelming majority you voted for Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Luckily for Ian and Dave it’s one of their favourite movies so they had no trouble yakking it up. It’s all here: praise, personal backstory, history, nitpicking, much love, and a classic Ian and Dave argument! Want to hear more? Well, let them fansplain it for you. ...2020-05-132h 34

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Onward Ciao, cinemaphiles! This week Ian and Dave go on a quest to bring you an all-spoilers review of Pixar/Disney’s newest animated film Onward plus they go on a sidequest down a primrose path that may or may not be overrun by gelatinous cubes to discuss the new Simpson’s short Playdate with Destiny that accompanies the feature film.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Evil Dead 2 Ciao, cinemaphiles!

So if you’re a big fan of – or ever wondered what the big deal was about – this glorious blood-soaked, gory, yet hilarious, horror movie, well, let Ian and Dav fansplain it for you.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Birds of Prey Ciao, cinemaphiles! This week Ian and Dave take a look at Birds of Prey, a film that has turned out to be a pretty major flopperoo for Warners and DC. Maybe it’s surprising that a movie with Margot Robbie reprising her role as the popular Harley Quinn from the critically reviled, but hugely successful Suicide Squad has failed so badly at the box office. Maybe it isn’t. Let Ian and Dave fansplain it for you. Thanks for listening. 2020-02-192h 05

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Little Women Ciao, cinemaphiles! Our pre-Oscar party continues with a viewing of Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel Little Women.

What do Ian and Dave make of all this? Well, let them fansplain it for you. Thanks for list...2020-02-051h 34

Thanks for listening. 2020-01-231h 36

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – The Rise of Skywalker Ciao, cinemaphiles! Well. we hinted, and you guessed; we insinuated, and you suspected; we implied, and you inferred… And you were right!!!

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Jojo Rabbit Ciao, cinemaphiles! Welcome to a special episode of The Fansplainers Film Cast: Ian and Dave agree!!! This week the guys watched the newest film from New Zealand director Taika Waititi – Jojo Rabbit, a sad, funny, scary story of Jojo, a young boy growing up in WWII Germany and his imaginary friend, Hitler.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Gemini Man Ciao, cinemaniacs! And welcome to to another episode of The Fansplainers – a spoiler-enriched film cast! This week Ian steps off an airplane and walks right into to the studio to face off with Dave over the action spectacle Gemini Man, featuring director Ang Lee’s obsession with high frame rate film technology. As the trailers have made clear, it’s old Will Smith versus young Will Smith – age and guile versus youth and a bad haircut as PJ O’Rourke once said. It should be a win-win situation, but…well, we’ll let Ian and Dave f...2019-10-311h 44

Well, let them fansplain it to you. 2019-10-021h 39

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Ready or Not Hello, fellow film fans! Welcome to another episode of our spoiler-enriched podcast The Fansplainers! This week Ian and Dave are more then prepared to review the black comedy/horror film Ready or Not.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Spider-Man: Far from Home Hello, fellow cinephiles! This week Ian and David return to a familiar well and take a look at the newest Marvel superhero spectacle: Spider-Man: Far from Home.

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – John Wick 3 & Booksmart Hello, film fans! Welcome to Episode 6 of The Fansplainers! This week Ian and Dave take a somewhat critical look at the third movie in the John Wick series, and celebrate, well, Dave anyway, Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut Booksmart. Ian and Dave wonder if the John Wick series is starting to suffer from the dreaded sequelitis – a swelling of the sequels. They have some ideas. Booksmart has not caught fire at the box office, and Ian and Dave offer some reasons why and maybe some solutions. Not sure what to think of t...2019-06-122h 12

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Shazam! Hello, film fans! This week on The Fansplainers, Ian and David take a long, hard, appraising look at DC’s latest entry into the overstuffed superhero marketplace: Shazam!

The Fansplainers Film CastThe Fansplainers – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse This film already won an Academy Award! What else is there to say about it? Well, maybe, why is it such a good film?

Dance Past Sunset Podcast"And in the End, the Love You Make" with David Dedrick of the Compleatly Beatles PodcastI think it’s safe to say that the Beatle’s were one of the most influential and innovative rock bands in the history of the genre. The power and impact of their music is hard to overstate. Ever since I first heard them on the Ed Sullivan show in the early 60’s, I knew the Beatle’s were special, and their magical songs became milestones in my passage through youth into adulthood. My guest on this show, David Dedrick, is one of the world’s leading experts on Beatle’s music and lore. He and his partner Ian...2014-09-0544 min
