Hello all. Mark here.

The MFF podcast is back and we are talking about La La Land and Manchester by the Sea. These two monoliths of cinema have been dueling all year and have been responsible for many gloriously redundant debates. The only thing they have in common is they both fell to the deserving Moonlight for Best Picture but still managed to win copious awards. . In this pod you will hear us wax poetic about terrible drummers, empty calories and the brilliance of Michelle Williams.
Williams is sooooooooooooooooooooo good.
As always we answer random listener questions and ponder if the questions need to be topical (doesn’t matter). If you a fan of the podcast make sure to send in some random listener questions so we can do our best to not answer them correctly. We thank you for listening and hope you enjoy the pod!

I thought La La Land was a mediocre film. True some technical elements like direction, score and cinematography are well deserving of accolades, but as a film it’s far too long.
See what I thought of all the best picture nominees here:

Finally saw Manchester By the Sea…WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Fantastic piece, loaded with so much humanity. So…much…wow.
So so so so good!
It feels like my grown-up and ever-troubled Good Will Hunting, but now returning home rather than leaving the only home one ever knew.
