• Sinners, Motel Destino and Big Nights Out that Go Awry in Movies

  On this week's pod, two hot, hot movies. First up, Sinners, Ryan Coogler's sexy Southern Gothic vampire flick set in Jim Crow-era Mississippi. It's got two Michael B Jordans, it's got epic musical sequences, it's got exquisite period detail, it's got spit sharing, it's got a smart and thorny race analogy at its heart, it's got great actors bringing their A game, it's got wonderful post-credit scenes and, did we mention, it's got two Michael B Jordans.  Similarly sexy and sweltering is Motel Destino, a neon-lit tropical noir from Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz. And inspired by Sinners, the team choose their favourite films set during parties or big nights out where things go off the rails.

• Holy Cow, Adolescence, White Lotus and more

  In a change to our usual format, we review only one film this episode: the French coming-of-age film Holy Cow. Set in Jura, in the east of France near the Swiss border, it follows a wild 18-year-old lad who has to grow up fast and learn how to make some award-winning Comté after a family tragedy. The rest of the episode sees Peter, Anahit, and Jamie discuss what they’ve been watching on the big and small screen recently, from Black Bag and a Jacques Tati classic to Adolescence and White Lotus via a goofy-sounding show we're pretty sure Anahit has made up.

• Mickey 17, Flow, Dystopian Cinema and Love Is Blind

  This week, we review Bong Joon-Ho's latest – Mickey 17 stars multiple Robert Pattinsons and Mark Ruffalo doing what we're assured is not an impression of any named individual. We also dive into the lovely 3D animated waters of Flow, Oscar-winning animation and, fun fact, the highest grossing Latvian film of all time.  Elsewhere, we interrogate horrid visions of surveillance, intrigue, subterfuge and suspicious gender politics, but eventually we do *stop* talking about Love Is Blind and talk about dystopias in cinema instead. The Cineskinny; we had you in the first half, not gonna lie.  TIMESTAMPS: Love Is Blind, Picture This, Good Time (2:10) Mickey 17 review (11:30) Flow review (29:45) Dystopian Cinema chat (39:40) Get us on Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram and Letterboxd  @thecineskinny, email us at [email protected] Music: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool) License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

• On Falling, John Maclean and films on tour

  On this edition of The CineSkinny we take a look at two of the most anticipated Scottish films of the year. First we review On Falling, the deeply impressive feature debut from Edinburgh-based director Laura Carreira.  And fresh from his second feature Tornado having its world premiere at Glasgow Film Festival, we have an interview with John Maclean who talks about westerns, samurai films, and the challenges of indie filmmaking in Scotland.  Elsewhere there are a couple of great film festivals (Glasgow Short Film Festival, HippFest) we wanted to give shout-outs to, and we take a look at some filmmakers who are attempting different distribution models that involve taking their films on intimate tours of the country. We also briefly chew over the Oscar results. TIMESTAMPS: What We've Been Watching: Walking & Talking, Disney Channel original movies, Common Side Effects and more (1:49) On Falling review (14:18) GSFF, HippFest, The People's Joker and Hundreds of Beavers (32:30) Interview: John Maclean on Tornado (50:10) Oscar chat (1:07:50) Get us on Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram and Letterboxd  @thecineskinny, email us at [email protected] Music: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool) License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

• Glasgow Film Festival 2025: Peaches Goes Bananas, Peacock + Boys Go To Jupiter

  Glasgow Film Festival is one of the most exciting times in Scottish cinema, so this week we dive headfirst and two-footed into the GFF programme with a trio of reviews and some additional chat. We discuss Marie Losier's art doc Peaches Goes Bananas; talk through the excellent Austrian comedy Peacock; and luxuriate in the lo-fi animation of Boys Go To Jupiter. Elsewhere, there's a weird smell, Jamie gets annoyed by people taking their jackets off too slowly, and Peter starts the campaign for a new podcast. It's The Cineskinny, drink it in. TIMESTAMPS: GFF: A beginner's guide (2:20) Peaches Goes Bananas (6:40) Peacock (15:05) Boys Go To Jupiter (24:10) More GFF picks 33:40 GFF, 26 Feb - 9 Mar, glasgowfilm.org Get us on Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram and Letterboxd  @thecineskinny, email us at [email protected] Music: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool) License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
