#003: Five Recent Film Reviews (Featuring the Morbius Rant)

It's that special time of year again when the black ties come out to play and everyone gathers round the TV to see who will win the most prestigious award in film- the Bajoria's what Should Have Won Awards. 

Dom talks through his winners in the major categories at the upcoming Oscars, giving his verdict on where the Oscars will go and who the real winners are.

In a spectacular year for film, the decisions this year were not remotely easy, but there is much to be happy about the state of cinema in 2024. 

As always, thank you for downloading the podcast, this took a lot of so any positive feedback @dombajoria or sharing of the podcast is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

In this episode, Dom is joined by two returning guests for the first ever three-strong podcast. 

The trio talk through their top five favourite film scores, including an extensive list of honourable mentions which cover a very broad list of music. 

The first half of this is professional and intellectual- the second half really is not. So however you like your podcasts, there's something in this one for you. 

@nimrod_music is very worth a follow to keep up to date with Roddy's production work!

Big thank you to Roddy and Will for joining me and as ever, thank you for downloading the podcast!

Merry Christmas!

In this epsiode, Dom is joined by his sister, a professional actor no less! The two discuss their favourite actors, favourite recent performances, what makes acting good vs what makes it great, and broader film chat. 

There is a notable lack of festive content- in that there isn't any, but in a more unstructured chat than normal, there's plenty to enjoy.

The podcast will be back around the New Year, as always thank you for downloading!

In this episode, Dom talks through the merits and negatives of two recent Netflix projects: Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl adaptations, and Season 4 of Sex Education.

In a revisit to the 1 Good 1 Bad format, Dom talks through the fascinating new style of story telling developed by Wes Anderson and the subtle beauty of his latest work. On the contrary, the confused and thin mess of the final season of Sex Education is displayed through a bit of a classic-style rant.

Thank you for downloading the podcast! Feedback and suggestions as always appreciated.

In this episode, Dom talks through the main benefits of visiting films for multiple viewings. He lists the primary examples of where this may be beneficial to not just understanding the film, but also to gaining a full experience from it. 

He also notes some of the early ideas surrounding the medium and how that may relay into a modern context.

Feedback as always is appreciated, and thanks for downloading the podcast!

The Reel Life Podcast is back with a big episode for season two! 

In this episode, following the record-breaking release of Oppenheimer, Dom reconvenes with Michael to dive deep into the works of Christopher Nolan once more, this time ranking all twelve of his films. 

The pair discuss where Oppenheimer ranks within Nolan's work, where it fits into his wider chronology, and if their top three choices have changed after a year!

There will soon be episodes around Barbie and Greta Gerwig, Harry Potter and Quentin Tarantino, so stay tuned!

Roll out the red carpet, plug in your headphones and pretend this isn't as sad as it is- in this episode, Dom reveals his picks for the first annual Bajoria's Should Have Won Awards. 

Dom takes a look at the 2023 Oscar nominations for the major categories and gives his predictions whilst also revealing the choices he believes should win.

Dom explores what the Oscars have already got wrong, what they may well get right and why his picks for the winners stand above the rest.

In this extra long episode, Dom is once again joined by Michael to discuss all things James Bond in the Daniel Craig era, now that the arc has concluded.

In this festive episode, Dom and Jakub (Kuba) discuss their top three favourite Christmas movies. 

This is a topic more subjective than most, prompting arguments a plenty across dining tables, but be ready for some surprises along the way. The pair discuss the big Christmas film questions, the festive nature of the 2nd ammendment (sort of) and the polish re-naming of films becoming slightly baffling.

Dom will be back for one more episode before the new year, hope you enjoy listening and thanks for downloaing the podcast!

In this episode, Dom ranks the recent leadding biopics centred around great musical figures. 

Dom talks through the merits and weak-points of the three and explains why one of them was greatly over-hyped.
