#226 – Top Movies Of 2023/2024 & An Embarrassing Cinema Experience With Alex Hart

Genuine Chit-Chat

Alex Hart returns to the podcast after many months of travelling to talk about movies with Mike!

In a bit more detail, the duo discuss their favourite movies since the start of 2023, including Barbenheimer, Poor Things & Dune – they also talk about the lack of recent comedy films and how modern comedy has changed, the joys of cinema and several of Alex & Mike’s cinema experiences, including a recent embarrassing one, purely due to Mike, and they wrap up with their brief thoughts of Dune Part 2 (no spoilers) with a few film recommendations – this is one for the movie lovers!

Alex has featured on a few Patreon-exclusive episodes, but did appear on much older episodes of GCC, including episode 3, 10 and 77 (going back to 2017, 2018 and 2020)!

Check out the 1000th episode of Comics In Motion which also marks the 6 year anniversary, where Mike spoke with Chris, Dave, Max & Tony to celebrate this milestone and answer listener questions! Podcast Link: https://pod.fo/e/22046f - Video Link: https://youtu.be/OqFFFehte5A

The previous GCC episode was Clone Wars Conversations Season 2, part 1 (episodes 1-11), where Dave, Maff & Mike delve into the 2008 animated Clone Wars series! They talk about the strange timeline of seasons 1, 2 & 3, the 5-episode-arc of the Return To Geonosis, the three one-off episodes, including The Deserter! As well as plenty of Clone-talks, our trio discuss each episode & arc in-depth while talking about the many character journeys, new characters and “background” characters that get a lot more screentime in the Clone Wars!
