Fred Asquith On Film

This week on FoF we dive into a FULL and SPOILER FREE review of You Can See Everything which is out in UK Cinemas on the 20th Nov. We then reflect on I Play Rocky which came out last weekend and may have won me over, before rounding out the reviews with Fjord, a Cannes heavyweight coming to the UK this week that I possibly found a bit dull.
In and around all this, we manage to discuss my enlightening Baby Screening, the Bond rumour mill fatigue, Stranger Things fatigue, and also 3 brilliant Voice Note Hot Takes from YOU the listeners. Send in YOUR hot take here: ⁠⁠⁠https://memo.fm/fredasquithonfilm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on FoF we open with an aside about the supposed casting of Callum Turner as Bond, before tackling head-on 2 meaty reviews of 2 awards hopefuls in La Bola Negra and Wild Horse Nine. 2 very different movies warranting 2 very different discussions.
We then have 2 cracking listener Hot Takes about whether you can watch a film "wrong", and asking when this wave of 80s nostalgia will end. Send in YOUR hot take here: ⁠⁠https://memo.fm/fredasquithonfilm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on FoF - I Have Seen Everything. At least, I’ve seen both of the new movies from Lance Oppenheim, one of which is PRIMETIME which we review later in the show, but the other is YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, the incredibly buzzy documentary about Elizabeth Holmes that isn’t out here in the UK until Nov 20th. I use this opportunity to give you a completely SPOILER FREE window into the hype. No review. No details. Just discussing the discourse and why I think it is making such big waves. Trust me. You are in safe hands. I’ll be reviewing YCSE in the week of UK release as usual. (As I say we then review PRIMETIME in full).
I also briefly run through my prediction for Best Picture nominations as it stands (hold me to it) before finishing off as always with a Voice Note from YOU the listeners. Send in YOUR hot take here: ⁠https://memo.fm/fredasquithonfilm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on FoF we mourn (and celebrate) the passing of LFF by doing a nice little debrief of my most overrated, underrated, surprising and disappointing movies at the festival. I also tell the story of the most annoying audience member of the whole 10 days.
We then move on to review 2 movies released this week that Premiered at the festival. First there’s Wildwood, which rallies against the ever looming slop. Then there’s Fatherland, a heartfelt vignette about a time and place not often depicted.
As always, send in your voice note hot takes which I will hope to get back to next week! Any annoying LFF screenings, thoughts on the Oscar race now we’ve seen some of the contenders? Or any other business…go wild! https://memo.fm/fredasquithonfilm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on FoF we dive DEEP into the review of Whalefall, watch out for my spoiler-free section of the review in the timestamps before touching on some minor spoilers later on.
I then give a run down of some of my favourite Ocean-based movies and NO, Castaway doesn't count.
We finish off with a very thought-provoking voice note hot take about Cruise's Oscar chances, and the nature of "Oscar Bait" performances.
