for 12 dager siden2:09:07

2:09:07

The podcast is three years old! As a celebration, Dom once again sat down with Dr Daniel Kenealy to do a deepdive into the works of Steven Spielberg. In this bumper discussion, there's a whole range of things to dissect, from what Spielberg means to us, the eras of his filmography, hits hits and misses, the influence of John Williams- before an Oscars style award giving for his filmography. Dom does give a little summation at the end on his feelings after three years of doing the pod, but ultimately, its just a very big thank you. Thank you for engaging, for your enthusiasm and support, and thank you for listening. Enjoy the podcast!…

Welcome to season 4 of The Reel Life Podcast! In this episode, Dom sits down with one of his university lecturers, Dr Daniel Kenealy, to discuss all things Oscars. Reviewing the ceremony, and the direction of all the awards. Dan is a real cineast, and so there was much to discuss- hence this is part one of this discussion. Next week, in part two, each will reveal their list of top 10 films of the year, before divulging into a chat about whats coming up and what to look forward to.

It's awards time! Join Dom for a celebration and rundown of the year's greatest cinematic events, as we give out the Bajoria's Should Have Won Awards- an accolade that becomes ever more prestigious with every year. This year, Dom also manages to catch a few interviews with some of the nominees on the red carpet, before giving his predictions for the Oscars, and revealing where the awards should go. (Dom does talk about an actual conversation he had with Academy Award nominated writer Peter Straughan, writer of Conclave). These episodes always take that extra bit of effort (I hope you like the new music!) so if you can, please share the episode with anyone who might listen. Thank you very much for downloading the podcast and sticking with it all through season 3, I'll see you very soon as we dive into season 4. Enjoy! :)…

#034: Top 5 Films Under 90 Minutes Long w/ Jakub Mis 51:12

for 17 weeks siden51:12

51:12

In this episode, Dom is once again joined by Kuba in a discussion brought about as a result of Jesse Eisenberg's A Real Pain. This time, the chat is around the pair's 5 favourite films where the runtime clocks in at 90 minutes or under, the films that give you that little bit more time in your day to procrastinate by some other means. A very wide variety of films is discussed, from the devastating to the ridiculous, from Japan, to Poland, to Manchester. Dom and Jakub also take a look at A Real Pain and talk through why it works, and why its ending is exactly the kind of thing they love. Its the first episode of 2025 and we are approaching awards season, which can only mean one thing- the BSHWAs are on the horizon. Thank you very much for downloading the podcast, and enjoy!…

for 23 weeks siden1:41:43

1:41:43

In this festive special, Dom is joined by three people for the first time to discuss nothing remotely Christmassy at all. Fun chat though. Together with Zac, Ella and Nameer, a huge range of films are discussed as everyone lists their 5 favourite film characters of all time. From notorious film icons to rogue shouts, horror to Rom-Com, there is a lot to unpack as everyone dissects their lists. Thank you so much for listening across 2024, it's been really nice to see people enjoying the podcast. Thank you for downloading, and I'll see you again in the new year. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals :)…

#032: Recent Review Round-Up 32:44

for 25 weeks siden32:44

32:44

In this episode, Dom talks through his thoughts on seven recent titles he had the chance to catch and dissect. There is a wide range of films from blockbuster to arthouse psychological horror, in what is proving to be an intriguing year for film. Dom talks through his thoughts on Gladiator II, Alien: Romulus, Starve Acre, Woman of the Hour, Joker: Folie a Deux, Speak No Evil and Conclave. Some are a bit of a let down, some are a good bit of fun and one is competing very hard to be Dom's film of the year. There will be one more big episode before Christmas with many people and a big topic, so look out for that. In the meantime, thank you very much for downloading the podcast, and enjoy!…

#031: Top 5 Formative Childhood Films W/ Roddy Cummins 1:01:36

for 28 weeks siden1:01:36

1:01:36

In this episode, Dom and Roddy sit down to talk through the films which stuck with them most since childhood. Even more subjective than usual, the variety of films discussed is actually quite broad. Roddy has some... unusual inclusions, and Dom lists some (slightly low-level) films you would not expect to be buried in a cineast's heart. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for downloading the podcast!…

#030: Megalopolis: The Worst Film Ever Made w/ Jakub Mis 54:23

for 32 weeks siden54:23

54:23

In this episode, Dom and Kuba sit down again to dissect an experience which throws both of their lists of worst films from last time into disrepute. Having both had the severe misfortune of spending 2 hours and 18 minutes viewing Francis Ford Coppola's latest offering, 'Megalopolis', the pair talk through why it has earned the title, in their view, of the worst film ever made. This could have been another hour longer, as every single element of the $120 million effort misses the mark by a very long way indeed. This one is essentially an hour long hatchet job, quite rightly so. Thank you very much for downloading the podcast, it means a lot. Enjoy!…

#029: Top 5 Worst Films w/ Jakub Mis 1:03:43

for 35 weeks siden1:03:43

1:03:43

In this episode, Dom is joined by Kuba for a discussion celebrating some of the worst films or most disappointing cinema experinces the two have had, in honour or Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis being met by some horrendous reviews. Much in the way of poor filmmaking is assessed, from severe sequel disappointment to completely forgettable plotlines, and of course, Jared Leto. If you love a good hatchet job, this one is for you. Thank you for downloading the podcast, and enjoy!…

#028: Top 5 Disney/Pixar Films w/Roddy Cummins and Amelia Fenwick: Edinburgh Fringe Special 2024 1:16:23

for 43 weeks siden1:16:23

1:16:23

In this episode, and this years Edinburgh Fringe edition, Dom is joined by Roddy and Amelia to talk through the best animated works of Disney and Pixar. Much is discussed from the timelessness of the Disney 2D style, the impact these films had on everyone's childhood vs how you see them as adults, an idea for a fringe show which would either be hailed as genius or given the red light after sentence number one, and the strange circumstances surrounding Disney merchandise and the birth of Roddy's siblings. Roddy has music out which is well worth a listen, stream 'All I Know' now and presave 'Manhatten' whilst you're at it. Thank you to Roddy and Amelia for joining, and thank you for downloading the podcast. Enjoy!…

#027: Dealing with Doctor Who w/ Verity Bajoria 1:36:19

for 46 weeks siden1:36:19

1:36:19

In this episode, Dom and his sister sit down to dissect the most recent iteration of Doctor Who following the return of Russel T Davies. The pair talk through its merits alongside its heavy shortcomings, and use their upsettingly nerdy knowledge of New Who to do so. In a (perhaps overly) long discussion, much is assessed in the aim of working out how to fix the show, and how its tonal change has shifted what the show now is. Plenty more episodes to come, and it'll be back to films next. Thank you for listening!…

#026: Harry Potter special w/ Verity Bajoria 1:48:36

for 50 weeks siden1:48:36

1:48:36

In this extra-long episode, Dom is joined again by his sister to give a thorough talk through of the Harry Potter franchise. The pair attempt to rank all the films from 1-8 (more succesfully on one account than the other), and discuss why it sets itself apart from other franchises in terms of success and quality. It's a little all over the place, but they get there in the end. These films don't seem to have an obvious ranking, as everyone has a different order- and that is evident in this discussion too. Thank you for listening and enjoy!…

#025: Hell or High Water- Dom's Favourites #1 31:14

for 51 weeks siden31:14

31:14

In this episode, Dom delves into the themes and elements which make David Mackenzie's 2016 film Hell or High Water one of his absolute favourites. This is the first of a new series of episodes in which Dom talks through some of his standout favourite films. In a more politically in-depth analysis than normal, Dom talks through why the films initial Trumpian label is misguided, and the film actually presents a neoliberal evil. The film also covers views of heritage, land, obsoletion, capitalism and masculinity. Hopefully it isn't too nerdy and convoluted a discussion and goes some why to explaining how Taylor Sheridan has written what could seem to be a straightforward neo-western, but is actually something far more nuanced and intricate. Thank you for listening!…

#024: Challengers and Indulgence- TRLP's 2nd Birthday 41:57

for 1 year siden41:57

41:57

The podcast turns two years old! (A few days ago) In this episode, Dom talks through Luca Guadagnino's recent hit ' Challengers ', and its wildly hightened and entertaining story. In conjunction with this, Dom also dives into the question of why efficiency and conciseness is important in cinema, and why indulgence often lets films down. Interestingly, ' Challengers ' isn't actually particularly indulgent, but certain elements to lend itself to the discussion. As a result, Dom also covers other recent titles like ' Babylon ', along with broader discussions about Quentin Tarantino and the most recent incarnations of 'Doctor Who' . Thank you so much for all the support over the last two years, it has been genuinely heartwarming. Enjoy the podcast!…

#023: Dune Special w/ Michael Wyllie 1:33:29

for 1 year siden1:33:29

1:33:29

In this episode, Dom and Michael reconvene to discuss part two of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. This is Michael's THING, like we only just scratch the surface here, so Michael leads the episode in talking about how well the film does in translating the content of the book to the big screen. Dom, having not read the book, sits back, but also comes back to his now altered ranking of Villenueve's work. There's plenty of (what is hopefully not too deep and dense) discussion of the themes and the events of the film, also taking a cinematic look at the film and relating it to part one. The basic premise is- it's really quite good. Full spoiler warning in effect as usual, so if you haven't seen Dune Part 2 then do go and find a huge screen to watch it. Any feedback appreciated as normal, and thank you for downlaoding the podcast!…

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.

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!

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.
